"A very popular beer hall favored for watching basketball games and grabbing casual pub fare, notably a smashburger, making it a convenient spot to refuel after walking between nearby attractions." - Opheli Garcia Lawler Opheli Garcia Lawler Opheli Garcia Lawler is a journalist with a decade of experience, half of which has been dedicated to covering the way we travel.

"Best new after work hang. Large tables offer space for your whole office, and there's a garden patio to boot! Cut loose with a selection of 25 beers on tap, eat a brat or two, along with a tasty selection of German appz n' sertz." - MINT
"At this German-style beer hall, you’ll find lots of brats and other sausages, including a smoked Sky Kraken Dog infused with beer and jalapeños, and tucked into a cream cheese-smeared roll. The meat’s way too dry on that, though—we prefer the bar’s more basic Seattle dog without all the pale ale-infused nonsense. It’s much juicier, gets topped with feathery light onions, and comes with tasty fries all for $11. Grab a stein of pilsner and cheers to a good deal." - gabe guarente, aimee rizzo
"Unless you’re scouring day-of resale markets, Kraken tickets can be expensive, especially for a group. So if you’re interested in getting together with other folks who enjoy looking at a tiny black dot zip around on some ice, Queen Anne Beerhall—located right near Climate Pledge Arena—is the place. Yeah, it gets packed with a sea of light blue jerseys pregaming, but once the mass exodus to Seattle Center begins, the entire gymnasium-sized space is all yours. Grab a smashburger, some soft pretzels, and a way better view of Grubauer blocking goals than the sorry sacks in Section 226, Row N." - aimee rizzo, kayla sager riley, gabe guarente
"What started out as a German-style beerhall has shifted to what owners Gary Szeredy and Justin Andrews — who bought it in 2020 — call a “Northwest Beerhall.” What does that mean? A ton of TVs playing sports, a famous smashburger (that predates the current smashburger craze), and local beers on tap. It’s simple, but it’s hard to find a better spot to prefunk a Kraken or Storm game." - Meg van Huygen
