"Rooftop Brew Co. in Interbay was heavily damaged by a fire that started on August 13 in Caffe Ladro’s roasting facility. The fire caused significant damage, including the loss of brewing grains, and led to looting afterwards. The brewery is currently raising funds through a GoFundMe campaign to support its staff and recovery efforts. Old Stove Brewing is assisting by providing cold storage and hosting a fundraiser. Rooftop hopes to continue brewing through contract brewing at other local breweries. The community has shown strong support for the brewery's recovery." - Brianna Gunter
"If you’re looking for a calmer place for you and a couple of strollers, you’re in good hands at Rooftop Brewing, which is a quieter, serene spot—and as the name suggests, is technically located on a roof. Take in the view of Queen Anne homes, at least one small sliver of Lake Union, and/or a giant boat. Their IPAs succeed in particular (don’t miss the Tropical Staycation) and be sure to show up on a Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, or Sunday, as that's when you'll catch the incredible smashburgers from Smash That Burger Co." - aimee rizzo, gabe guarente

"Starting as a tiny one-barrel operation in a garage behind a 7-Eleven, Rooftop is now arguably the most popular place to drink along Salmon Bay and the Fremont Cut. The emphasis here is community beers meant to be enjoyed amongst friends, which lends itself to some seriously great ambers, lagers, and pale ales. For palates craving more a little more oomph, there’s almost always an imperial stout or Belgian tripel on draft, and even the occasional schwarzbier. And yes, the whole place is technically situated on a rooftop. Grab a beer around sunset for some truly magical views and laid-back vibes." - Brianna Gunter
"As the name suggests, this Queen Anne brewery is on a rooftop. Like most breweries in Seattle this is a welcoming space for dogs, kids, and board games, and while there’s not much food at the brewery itself there’s a regular rotation of food trucks." - Eater Staff
