Showboat

This brewery has been here for awhile and I really would love to see them get more business! I talked to the owner for awhile when we went and they are trying to add different theme nights to pick up some business. He was so nice and I wish him the best with Bad Jimmy’s. They have a great outdoor area and when we were there they had burlesque bingo. It was a little different but I think it drew in the crowd. This spot would be great for events and they have the space to accommodate. Decent beer and prices too and they usually have a food truck or you can order from ST Hooligans next door which is amazing too!

Good variety of beer, from experimental and creative to ultimately crushable summer-weight Rainer-style offerings. They have wine, ciders and seltzers so there's an option for everyone in a group. They have expansive outdoor seating and super-awesome customer service given by authentically great staff. The vibe here, with all the customers, groovy tunes, dogs, chit-chat, and delicious bevvies, kind of amazing, and one of the places keeping Seattle's soul alive.

Great beer, great people! The brewers were really friendly, and invited us to pick some hops off the vine with them for some free beer 🙂 Shout out to Dave and Nick! Really nice place with good vibes.

Went here for trivia which is normally on the huge heated patio but was stuffed indoors. Still fun and awesome Tuesday night. They server beer and cider only. Great easy to order food options nearby

Nice place to sit down and have a few beers. The owner is a nice guy and makes you feel at home.

Good beer, great service, HUGE covered outdoor seating area with lots of tables and heat lamps. Dogs welcome.

Showboat melts the Seattle Freeze like no other venue. Every staffer treats you as if you’re an old friend. The neighboring food joints surround the seating in a manner that is reminiscent of a backyard you’d play “Ghost in the Graveyard” in. A no frills, just bones place that doesn’t pretend to be something other than a comfortable place to enjoy local bands. The music was good, but the audience was better. Showboat fosters a lovely community and we will definitely be back!

Excellent beer and amazing service. They were very accommodating to our large group. I would recommend and will be back!

dam!! bbe!!! Best Bar Ever!! This maratime themed bar feels just like being on a river boat on the old Mississippi!! Is that Mark Twain??

Great casual vibe! Fun open mic on every other Wednesday night! We played there and we're treated with friendly service and the Vanilla Rye Stout was really awesome!

Very fun place with a great outdoor space. Super live music and amazingly welcoming staff.

Fun and welcoming space with a variety of events going on each week! Love the new stage they built outside, and the indoor/outdoor seating with heaters makes it great to visit any time of year. Definitely a place to visit in Ballard!

One of my favorite bars in Seattle! The staff is wonderful and couldn't be in a better setting. They have both indoor and outdoor seating with a large garage door entrance, so even when you're inside, you can still get a great breath of fresh air. The music and events there are well put together. Everyone is always smiling and having a good time. 100% recommend checking tout Showboat.

First time here Saturday - went due to Glam Chowder's drag variety show and had so much fun! I like that they had a full bar AND White Claws. The bathrooms were unisex and very clean, staff was really friendly and just the nicest vibe. Thanks for being cool, Showboat!

Great place to enjoy a cocktail with friends! Excited to see how the new space shapes up.
