If you aren't up for a tour of all the amazing breweries that have been popping up in Ballard over the last 5 years.. then I highly suggest stopping at Trailbend. Tons of interesting beers on tap & simple but delicious bites to go with (I had a great salad here!)

The brewery scene east of Ballard keeps getting better & better. I personally love Lucky Envelope for their amazing sours...which are growing in popularity but still a little hard to find. You often find families, groups or couples here whiling away a few hours playing cards or other table games & enjoying their pints.
