Simply amazing! Along with the knowledgeable stuff(Chuck himself is god-like) there are lots of well-picked taps and even more so bottles. Beer and wine tastings, homebrewer’s get-togethers, espresso&ice-cream, FOOD. You’ll always find beer nerds hanging out here; besides, the crowd is not as pretentious as at Bottleworks.

We love going to Chucks, totally unique spot as a former grocery store turned beer drinkers haven. They have so many great beers and if they don’t have it, talk to Chuck. He can get it.

Probably my favorite bottle shop in the Seattle area. Prices are pretty standard, the selection is as good as any you will find, plus he’s got a bunch of rotating taps with local stuff and other goodies. Chuck and his staff always seem very knowledgeable and helpful. They are nice guys to just have a conversation with. You can tell he loves his job. Makes a damn fine IPA braut too. It could pass as a corner convenience store, but make no mistake, this is a great place to hit up. Edit* I am now employed here. I wrote my rating before I became employed, but could understand if it needs to be taken down.

Great selection of bottled beer. Also 15 quality beers on tap. Kid and dog friendly. Even several varieties of ice cream available

This is a "corner" store, market-type place. They have food items, you know, munching-type shit like chips, and beef jerky. They also have ice cream, and incense. One thing they do have that is relevant to this site is a pretty damn good beer selection. I’ve seen things here that I haven’t seen anywhere else in Seattle. The place isn’t trying to be pretentious, and the owner (?) was really nice and asked us if we had any questions. I never have questions, but the fact that he offered to answer the questions I didn’t have, was nice. Anyways, the pricing here is a bit tricky. I saw some things that were quite a deal, and other things that were not so much of a deal. The markups weren’t that bad, but on something like North Coast Old Stock Cellar Reserve the price was $27.99 instead of $25.99, for example. With that being said, you just have to watch your ass so you don’t over spend on something that is cheaper, that may be closer to you. Great place because they offer even the cheap shit, so when I move closer to area I know where I’m going.

Chuck’s 85th St Market is a gem in the neighborhood. Right down the Street and full of a great selection of brews - anything from schwill to Angels Share. Not over priced like a few other stores in town. Knowledgable and interested in beer in general, Chuck will gladly geek out with you and chat it up. Only going to get better from here! If you live in the hood or are stopping through Seattle, this is definitely worth a check, and will possible find something rare for a few dollars cheaper.
