The definition of old money. One of the oldest beer bars in the country. They may not have an overwhelming selection like Chucks, but better curated and more diverse beers you can’t find anywhere else. Always a must stop for beer nerds coming through Seattle.

Great selection! Some great lagers from Oregon! I really want to like them!But last order I got three dented cans and an expired one. I guess Ill have to go to Portland.Update: Bottleworks refunded me for the expired beer.

Good beer selection, microbrew draft bar. Dark, atmospheric, sometimes intimate (i.e. limited seating). Not as many beer purchase choices as Chucks Hop Shop, but more than larger local grocery stores. You can either choose from their small draft selection, or purchase and drink any can or bottle beer they carry on-premises. An array of most types of beer and right next to Wine Cellars if youd like to one stop shop for both.

Pandemic drop in...Bottleworks at 17Feb21 is order online pick up only. But the door was open so I wandered in uninvited......a helpful employee asked my preferences and chose for me two exceptional beers for me and sent me on my way. Five cat paws up

Great selection of drinks, cool interior and helpful staff. I came here a lot before the pandemic. They now have a $5 handling fee regardless of order size, so keep that in mind. However, it 100% of it goes to the employees, so Im all for it.Thanks for the reply owners! Appreciate you guys taking care of your employees, that means a lot.

Great selection of international beers. Amazing stuff on tap. Knowledgeable staff. Relaxed place to try out the inventory. Whats not to like?

Trevor was the person working when I arrived here. Friendly enough, reserved enough to make an introvert feel comfortable. A group needed his attention. He handled it professionally. Im going to bring my wife here so she can try the rare and wonderful beers here. Comfortable space and amazing variety.

Review №18

Just discovered the fantastic selection of gluten free beer! So happy to be able to drink beer again. They also have a great selection of other beers, a local, grungy vibe, and excellent personal service.

Dropped in today and was impressed with the selection. Bottles to go, or enjoyed on premises with a corking fee. Attentive and knowledgeable service without being overbearing.

I love this place. Havent been in for years because of traveling but same friendly knowledgeable service as always! Scored some great IPAs

Li
Review №21

Friendly staff and wide selection of beers. Not many non-IPAs to choose from, but decent selection nonetheless. They also offer corkage, in addition to several choices on tap, if you want to enjoy your hand picked selection of beverages there.

Ch
Review №22

Selection is truly amazing, staff is great and knowledgeable, theres even parking most times! Support local businesses! 🍻

Ce
Review №23

An incredible beer and cider selection, affordable prices and low corkage fees in an intimate atmosphere. You can bring your own food to enjoy there, and its dog friendly.

Ka
Review №24

Great place to find beers that youd probably have to go to the brewery itself to buy. They have a good selection. A little beer for every taste too, lots of IPAs but there are plenty of other options as well.

Review №25

Very impressive selection and very helpful and knowledgeable staff. Im from out of town and I just let the lady lead me around the store recommending various beers for me to check out.

I needed to get a variety of beers for my son who lives in Japan. They helped me find a very nice selection of beers to bring over to him. They were extremely helpful.

An
Review №27

Great selection of beer. I appreciate the staff, they arent pushy at all and if you have a question about something they are super helpful. They allow outside food as long as youre tidy. Just an overall very chill place.

Review №28

Small, dark, and packed to the brim with case after case of good beer (or bier, as they would have it), Bottleworks is buried treasure for the more refined drinkers among us. Between the vast selection and the informed expertise of the employees, you are guaranteed to find what you are looking for (assuming youre looking for beer, that is).Pro tip: they offer a nice selection of rotating taps in the back, to be imbibed on-site or taken home as a growler. Often these beers can be a little on the expensive side, especially when youre only getting 10oz or 12oz in return. But fear not, for although they dont advertise it, they will usually sell you a half-glass of anything 12oz or less.

Old school beer shop. They got what you need.

Great selection. Good amount of rare and aged beers. A few good tap handles to enjoy a beer while you shop.

Review №32

Its as if Comic Book Guy from The Simpsons opened a bottle shop. Expect a similar attitude from the staff and *aherm* similar level of cleanliness.The owners response to Taylor McKinneys review offers insight into how Bottleworks has reached such a lofty pinnacle through (20) years of shaming customers for not knowing as much as they think that they do. After all, its just beer, which is why Im going to write an essay in response to a five star review, or hang up on someone calling to dare ask for a beer out of season, or glare at customers for walking in the door.Every Seattle beer geek has a Bottleworks story, your rite of passage awaits!

Review №33

I went in here with my beer wishlist to see if they had some hard-to-find brews. The guy running the place was able to tell me when the seasonal ones would come out, and which ones were going to be localized to a few select states. They also have a great selection with a lot of variety.

Ta
Review №34

Good selection and nice staff other than the manager. Asked a question about a limited beer I was looking for and was told to come back the following day to speak with the manager. Upon my return visit the “manager” was very rude and unprofessional. As an out of town visitor big into supporting local breweries, bottle shops and a homebrewer of 10 years it hurts seeing this negativity in the beer community.

Sa
Review №35

A great bottle shop with about a dozen taps in the back. Small space, but they make it work. Good selection of beers, probably the best place to buy beer in the neighborhood. Easy to get to on the 62 and 44 buses.

Ja
Review №36

Great little place with a good selection. They have some limited release as well as other more well known regional craft beers. The guy serving was very knowledgeable about his inventory. This is my kind of place, buy a pint and a 4-pack and move on.

Review №37

Great low key vibe, chill knowlegeable staff. Not the biggest selection but what they have is top notch. Nearly as many Belgian and German brews as local NW picks.

Review №41

Being from out of state, we sought out this shop based on the description on-line. We were expecting more of a selection of beers from the description on the internet. Perhaps the number 950+ beers refers to the individual bottle count rather than variety offered? Staff was not overly helpful with our requests nor very welcoming.

I am so pleasantly surprised with this place. It is bigger and a lot nifty-er than it seems from the outside. I had been meaning to go here for months; I finally stepped in on a Saturday and found myself picking out more beer bottles than I could carry. It doesnt matter what you like in a beer, Bottleworks has it, plus 3 other varieties.

Review №46

Its a good specialty beer store, plenty of selections. But the people running it really made me feel like I was putting them out by asking for recommendations fitting my general tastes. I might go back, but probably not.

Jo
Review №47

Great spot to be able to try one beer instead of having to commit to a 6 pack. Had a pretty solid variety of beer too.

Review №49

This is one of my a favorite bottle shops in Seattle. The selection is great, the atmosphere is fun and the staff there are very knowledgeable about beer. The only negative thing about this place is when they added the taps and it took away some of the precious space. But all said and done this is a great place to shop for beer and socialize.

As as beer geek I found this place just not bad. They had a couple of good taps and several bottles, but thats it.

Review №51

Wide selection and good deals on singles. Great for trying new beers and ciders. Very helpful staff, and a nice atmosphere and crowd at this Wallingford staple. This is the place to come to for growler fills at a decent price.

Fantastic selection, fair prices.

Gr
Review №83

Sure, you might find cheaper, cleaner, more friendly bottleshops with a better solution of beers and taps, but theyre not old school; not in Fremont/Wallingford! Heck, I bet they arent even near Archie McPhee.Bottleworks is fine, but there are now better options in Seattle. Check out Chucks 85th or in the Central district. Full Throttle is also an option. The Beer Authority? Yep! Heck, even a stop by Bobs Liquors.Growler prices are a bit high here; bottle prices are about par. Theres an okay section, but the store is tiny. Prepare to feel judged by the staff as well. Its worth dropping in if youre hunting something specific.
