Great bar in the Belltown area. Huge bar with amazing selection of beers on tap and to go. Largest selection of beers in fridges I’ve ever seen!! They also have a great selection of board games. Came across this place on a trip to Seattle and it didn’t disappoint. Staff were friendly and the place had a good atmosphere with great music too!! Not far from the space needle so would highly recommend this place if you’re in the area and a lover of good craft beer!

Coming from a state that doesn’t have beer bars like TeKu i was definitely in a bit of a beer euphoria as i walked in and saw the setup. huge selection of draft and canned/bottled beer. you shouldn’t have any issue finding something you like. service was friendly and helpful as well. hopefully one day minnesota will have something like this...a guy can dream!

Great meeting spot with a wide selection of beers and wine. Table space for roughly 80-100 maximum. I usually go in the morning, so its nice and slow and personal, but Im sure they host some fun events!

Amazing beer selection, both on tap and packaged. Wide open space with intimate tables for small groups and large tables with benches for post-work gatherings. Wednesday night trivia with a fantastic host. No kitchen on site but they do have prepackaged snacks for sale (think meat and cheese trays along with the usual salty suspects) and allow outside food in. Definitely recommended if you are in the area and looking for a nice place to have a beer.

Had the puff puff and it was great but the real winner was the Founder stout because it tastes just like chocolate!

Fantatsic place for beer that is on draft, bottled or canned. The space is modern and inviting but also cozy. Amazing selection of canned/bottles beer. Draft selections vary but always familiar and interesting choices. I especially like they always have good Belgian selections. Friendly staff.

A great stop for a beer after work or a tasting flight if you are visiting the area. Lots of room for bigger groups. Dog friendly. A selection of games to play or purchase while you drink. They also have a large selection of cans and bottles of beer and cider for purchase.

Huge selection of beer and ciders, this place has a chill vibe. They have games to buy or borrow and you can get your own food and hang out here with friends with 🍻 beer . Would recommend going with group.😄😄I ordered Portland cider and they were almost over so it was on house 😋😋

Review №19

This place is great. First off they have a nice selection of beers and small selection of ciders. Second, they are a gaming tavern that sells Magic cards (sometimes as a bundle with a drink), has board games to use, and has very nice tables for gathering and gaming. Zekes also delivers here at a special if you want food. I havent visited on a weekend, but during the week we usually can get a table after work hours.

Review №27

It is like a beer shop. We went Sun evening and it was very quite but I did not mind that. Prices are reasonable and they have a big selection of ciders know tap. No food is sold but they have a menu of nearby places where u can order food right to TT. They also have ton of games in case if you coming with a group of people. I am not big fan of very loud places so this worked for me

Sean is the best bartender. Great beer selection.

Review №30

I had quite possibly the most delicious cider I have ever had in my entire life. My girlfriend ordered a beer that ran out halfway through the pour which resulted in an awkward stare down as the bartender just waited for us to decide what to do. A suggestion of what was similar to the original choice would have been ideal. Regardless, cool spot.

With something like 1000 bottled and can beers and 50+ taps this place is heaven if you enjoy craft beer! The bartenders were friendly and extremely knowledgeable and it made for a great afternoon spent trying a number different beers.

TeKu has such a great bottle selection!! During normal times it’s also one of my go-to spots to grab a beer with friends after work and I can’t wait to again. Amazing atmosphere, the beertenders really know their stuff and make great recommendations, and there are always great options available on the frequently rotating taps.

Incredible local and regional tap selecti m as well as a big selection of bottles for here or to go. A must stop place to get the lay of the land of beer in and around Seattle before deciding which breweries to visit.

Very impressive selection of beer, both on draft and in can. I will definitely be going for a few beers again next time I visit Seattle.

Ja
Review №39

The beer selection was great however the bartender was not welcoming. I would suggest a service where the bartender on duty checks back in with the table or has a better introduction. I felt as if this place was just a grocery store and the bartender was only there to cashier. Id go again to see if the experience is the same with someone else.

Teku has an excellent selection of PNW and West Coast staples and limited releases. They also have a robust selection of brew styles to meet everyone’s tastes, so if you’re not an IPA fan or you prefer variety, you’re bound to find something to enjoy. I also give them bonus points for carrying a variety of Modern Times seasonals! Keep them coming!

My local go-to place for craft beer either on draft, bottled, or canned. Great location to relax and meet people at. Would recommend to anyone wanting to visiting downtown and wants to sit down for a moment.

Maybe 20 beers on tap, and a huge bottle/can beer cooler. A bit of a price mark up but great selection. Small corkage fee if you want to consume on site. A small snack selection (chips, cheese) otherwise BYO food. The patio is open with about 5 small tables.

Really cool space - very unique selection of beer on tap and in the beer fridges. You can buy single bottles/cans and they will cork them for you to enjoy in the tavern. They have a good rotation on Nitro and also hazy IPAs. Dog friendly, knowledgeable staff and you can bring in food from other places.

Tavern, lots of beer choices, sadly no food choices. Had the cloudburst ipa, was thirsty so I tolerated a funk it had to it. Nice clean atmosphere music the right volume and a couple TVs to watch .Monday night football.

Nice, open space with a fair beverage selection. When we were there the organization of the display was not intuitive because of nitro takeover but I can look past that. Great service and atmosphere.

This place is awesome if you are a beer geek! Very similar to the Beir Stein in Eugene, OR. Knowlegable staff and huge selection. My wife doesnt even like beer but she found the Lambic very tasty. They had a great selection of my favorite IPA.

The only reason Im giving 4 stars is because this place does not serve any food. Whoever, the beer variety is awesome!

Review №56

Lots of great brews on tap including sours, ciders, and other less common treats. The cases have even more great selection! And to round it off is a great, friendly space to chat and play games, sometimes with your canine companion, and a handy binder of local takeout places to get a meal.

Jo
Review №57

This place is awesome. My friends and I drop by here after work for games and drinks after work a lot, and its really fun. They have a bunch of beers on tap, and hundreds of others in the coolers. The only thing I wish is that they would have better games to play. We generally only cycle through a few because the others dont look all that good.

Best taplist I have seen in Seattle. Chill, laid back vibe. Bartenders really know their product and are happy to provide recommendations or tastes. Regardless of the style of brew you like, you will find it here. Not a scene that inhibits great conversation with friends, so great for a group looking to catch up or hang out.

Review №64

Visited on a Saturday night. The place is big, so you probably will find seats any time you come. The on-tap selection is mostly domestic beers, the only reason why I gave it 4 stars as Id like to see more Belgian/German beer. There are fridges with a wide bottle selection. Customers can bring their own food.

Ja
Review №65

Only have tried 2 of the beers so far but both have been excellent. The biggest pluses are the friendly staff, open space and selection of draft on tap. Plus their glasses are great!

Review №66

A fantastic place with plenty of vintages on the shelf. I tried some Dirty Couch beers here, which are local sour beers from the north side of Seattle. The fruity nose and taste of those sour beers are phenomenal. Highly recommend this place because a bottle of vintage here is in reasonable price, and you can enjoy it with the price of other regular beers!

Huge selection of everything you could possible want, 24 cold boxes in all. Best part...no inbev. They have board games, tons of seating. Just a glorious place.

Review №68

Perhaps the largest selection of beer Ive seen at a bar in Seattle, not to mention a relaxed environment. This is a great place to play board games with friends on a Saturday night. They have several beers on tap as well as a fridge with over 100 different bottles. I was impressed with the local and foreign beer selection, as well as with the variety of ciders they had.

Everything was supremely organized. I love that they post when they clean their lines. Its so neat that you can tell on the digital menu how much is left in the keg. They carry items that arent available normally at regular establishments.This is a beer lovers paradise.

Review №73

A wide selection of beers and ciders. They have couches, small tables, and big tables you can reserve. The reason I gave 4 stars is that I felt there was a lot of things to know and if you didnt know it was pretty confusing to find a beer/cider you like.They have gotten better about signage and letting you know the corkage fee if you buy from the refrigerator there, how to reserve a table, and what the beers on tap are like.

Fun place to visit while we were in town. Great selection of draft and bottles. Staff was super knowledgeable and very nice. As a bar owner it was nice to nerd out about the draft system and get a peek behind the curtains.

They have a decent selection of beers. The place seems a little.... Sterile though. Gets busy but always just feels like the vibe is lacking.Either way, nice place to grab a beer, especially in summer when you can sit outside :D

Review №82

AN excellent venue with 50 beers on tap and hundreds more in the fridges. These guys are focused on the brewers intent and really pride themselves on the beer. It is a dog-friendly tavern and the owners are friendly and have a dog of their own. They do not serve food here, but outside food is ENCOURAGED. They often have a local food truck right outside the front door. It is an excellent experience for all.

Review №83

Excellent selection of beers on draft. Pricey though. Bottle section great. Environment a little sterile and lacking an identity. Sports on TVs. No food here, but you can bring your own eats from elsewhere in. Great to try that new brew, but not a place to hangout really.

Super chill taproom with dozens of regularly rotated beers. Variety of table sizes, and they take reservations for large groups (though Ive only needed it once). Dogs are allowed, and you can bring outside food in. Im on a first name basis with the staff, and theyll always help a newcomer find something they like!

You can bring in your food and snacks. There are a few dames there you can play with your friends but youre also welcome to bring your own. The tap selection is large and the prices are fair. If you get some munchies they do have a color and chips to snack on. There is usually street parking across the street in 5th.
