RateBeer Brew Tour Guide's Comments
Great variety of beers--but while they do carry many Pacific Northwest beers--their Seattle selection is slim as their niche has them concentrate more on beers that are harder to find. The Bottleworks staff is very friendly and knowledgeable about beer-if you can’t find something, they often will order it for you. Their website lists many of their offerings. They also carry quite a few beers made specifically for them. Definitely worth the stop if you are in the area.

This place rocks! Think City Beer, with more beer, and without the taps. Every conceivable PNW beer is available here (well every conceivable Washington beer). The staff will help you find the rare beers for your region. And the prices aren’t bad at all.

Visited on a quiet Saturday afternoon back in February. Very helpful staff helped me find several items on my list and even suggested trying the Stone BBQ sauce, which I have very much enjoyed on several racks of ribs since. Yum. Location is in a nice part of town my non-beer friends went for a pleasant walk while I drooled over the selection inside. Selection really is astounding for such a wee store, and the prices were fair. Definitely a must-see if you’re in town.

Visited with Enniskillen before the Seattle Int BeerFest. Outstanding selection, good prices, and knowledgeable staff.

Not sure what BuckeyeBoy was seeing. Prices a little high? A lot lower than in Minnesota. Very nice selection? When BuckeyeBoy’s been to a few more places he’ll realize that Bottleworks’ selection is unmatched as far as I can tell. It’s a beer geek’s paradise everything is available in singles and the selection of American craft beers is astounding. The help is knowledgeable. The place looks closed from both the outside and inside because they keep the lights dim to off in order to prevent the beer from getting light struck. This is a beer only place. From what I can tell, they sell no wine, liquor, etc. This is the first all-beer store I’ve ever been to. In a word, amazing.

These guys know their beer, and can suggest something good if you’re bowled over by the selection. I particularly appreciate the selection of aged beers and barleywines...great place to find a 7-year-old Full Sail barleywine, for example. It’s true that other stores may carry more Pacific NW beers, but if you want something Belgian, come here first.

Stopped in to check out the stock. A Very nice selection on hand. The prices are a little high but thats the price we pay for a good beer store.

This is one of the original specialty bottle shops in the country. Amazing selection for what is available to them, no beer fan should ever miss out on Bottleworks, if in Seattle. The staff is great as well! Kevin the manager, and Shaughn do a great job of keeping the place well stocked. Check it when you can!

The PNW bottleshop paradigm - almost anything you want with multiple vintages and out-of-seasonals available. Personally I prefer the 99Bottles and Malt&Vine aura - friendly, happy, knowledgeable staff - to the sulky, counterculture Urban Seattle shoppe keeps, but you simply cannot knock their plentiful selection.

It’s the best beer store in the region as far as variety and quality of selection is concerned and what’s more, they bring in new beers on a fairly regular basis and have a knowledgeable staff that’s helpful in a Northwest kind of way.

I’ve heard about this place and was quite honestly expecting something else. It was dim and diffacult to see the huge variety they have...but it was a comfortable atmosphere! The guy working was friendly. If you know what you want, then check this place out. If your shopping and don’t know what you want...there are brighter stores around.
