Reuben's Brews - Downtown Seattle Taproom

Absolutely love this place! We came twice in four days because we couldn’t stay away. First off, the smash burger is out of this world—one of the best we’ve ever had. More people need to know about it! On top of that, their beer selection is incredible. If you're a fan of hazy beers, this brewery is a must-visit. We tried four different hazys on tap and every single one was a hit—balanced, flavorful, and super drinkable. Can’t wait to come back again soon!

Great selection of beer to choose from. Solid bar food menu, the cheesy beer fries were good! Very friendly staff. Definitely a family friendly place.

This Reuben's Brewery location is an awesome addition to the area and a great place to grab a beer. The space inside was much larger than I anticipated, with tons of seating inside and outside/at the window. The beer selection was pretty varied, with plenty of non beer items as well. We grabbed a pretzel which was quite good and all of our beverages were ice cold and tasty. For sure will be back!

I like it. The outdoor seating area was great for people watching. They have some cool hats. I want to come back to try the food.

good spot to relax downtown. tons of beers obviously. decent prices. indoor and outdoor seating. super clean and private bathrooms. recommended.

Tried it yesterday the brews are solid, food is passable, the fries were good. The atmosphere good but service was horrible. The guy who helped me was a sour puss and unfriendly and if he’s part of the management team I hope you develop a personality or at least fake a smile. Not stepping on this establishment EVER

This spot just opened and it’s pretty cool! Casual vibe with a great beer selection. They offer outdoor seating, which is hard to find in that area of downtown Seattle. Also offer a vegan Reuben sandwich that was very tasty. Will definitely be back!

Amazing selection, location and staff at Reuben’s Brews downtown. With such a great selection of beers with my special go to being the Rye. And after just one visit everyone knows my name. The special downtown debut Hazy IPA is simply amazing . Found my new home away from home❤️❤️

This is a nice, new quick-serve bar close to Pike Place Market. You order from a counter and seat yourself. They have a large selection of craft beers.

Fun place, solid beers, good fish and chips, and engaging servers. Gets busy early when the Sounders and/or Mariners are playing.

Lots of seating indoors with some outdoor seating near the sidewalk. The place is decorated nicely and it feels really comfortable inside. They were playing great music. You order at the counter and it was not very organized as people were grouped and standing without committing to a specific line. The guy who took our order was not particularly friendly. My burger was delicious and my wife's chicken was just ok since there wasn't a whole lot of flavor. French fries were really good as well as my beer. My wife's mixed drink was lacking flavor though.

As someone who goes into the office a few days a week, Reuben's is great addition to downtown. I'm not a beer drinker but loved everything I have eaten so far and their cocktail-inspired drinks are delicious!! And if you order a salad, get the fried chicken on top. Yummy! Oh and great patio.

Decentd beer selection, fast and not too busy of a spot at Sunday on a 6pm. Pager style, and pick up food at the window. Fish and chips were hot and ready. Crispy with no soggy oiliness

Service here is non-existent. Stopped in for a light bite while touring the city and ordered soil and a soft pretzel. We waited for almost an hour for our food. They had so many people at the food delivery window asking where their food was. Nobody seemed to care about how slow the kitchen was.

So happy they opened a location downtown! Great selection of beers but I also like that they have options if you don't want a beer (like me). Would definitely recommend the cider and smash burger.

Long time Seattleite, big fan of Reuben's. I frequent the Ballard location often - wearing a Reuben's hat as I write this. But, 5:30PM on a Sunday - no drinks for kids other than apple juice. Out of chicken sandwiches. It's not easy to wrangle my picky teenager to come here after a Sounders game, all I can promise is good food and drinks. Pretty disappointing this time (beer excluded).

Went for the Ballard FC final which they were supposed to be showing. There was no sound for the game and they had multiple streams that were 30 seconds apart. The workers couldn't care less when I brought that up. The beer was served in a plastic cup, the food was fine but grossly overpriced. I really enjoy Rueben's beer but they need some better staff here.

Long story short, we never got food because it took over 2 hours. The groups around us waited an hour plus as well. The staff said the wait was because we "ordered earlier" so they knew there was a problem I guess? No apologies from staff or warnings. We arrived at 2 pm on a Saturday. Many open tables, less than half full. One couple ordered ahead of us. After we ordered our Reuben and chicken sandwich, another party came up complaining about a 40 min wait. We had time to kill and had already ordered so we decided to wait. 2 couples next to us were also waiting. Finally 1.5 hours in, the couple before us got their food. We were sure ours would be next....at the 2 hour mark after continuing to buy drinks from the establishment and seeing food coming out of the pick up window, we called it. We went and asked for a refund and the worker was warning groups that there was a 40 minute wait...when we said we've been waiting over 2 hours, the reply was "oh you must have ordered earlier" yeah, of course we did. 2 hours ago!!! So was there a problem in the kitchen and they didn't tell anyone? Who knows. Multiple groups around us were also waiting at least an hour plus so I would not recommend unless you have extensive time.

Can't really rate the food for this place considering that it took 2 over two hours to get a sandwich before we gave up. Beer was decent but not giving a warning when it was known upfront when we ordered that there was an issue of understaffing in the kitchen is ridiculous. I would avoid this place unless you have an entire evening to spend somewhere.

Good Northwest vibe. The Reuban sandwich is the best ever, and the tap IPA's are world class. "Bear", our barkeep, was a beer expert and generous with samples. Fun (friendly) people watching. There was even good street parking!

Food was awful. Staff was friendly. It was the only place with an available table for dinner, now we know why.
