Large brewery building, tough to find parking, so you may end up parked in the Fred Meyer parking lot out back. Has as indoor dining area enclosed within the brewery, with a long bar and a big back room of dining tables. The pub only beer selection is worth the trip.

Reasonably nice place, friendly staff, decent food. Disappointed by the beers, both the selection and the taste. Most winter brews were gone. Three drain pours of eight beers.

(Visited 09/2012 on the Seattle Road Dogs Tour): Hale’s is located north of downtown Seattle in the Fremont area on Leary Way. Street parking is available right next to the building.

The building opens up to an entry way with a door leading to a bar and seating area. Some breweriana around the bar. Outside the bar is the brewery complete with some historical information.

Hale’s has 10 or 12 of their beers on tap including HSB, Cream Ale, Troll Porter, O’Brian’s Harvest and Red Menace. They have a sampler as well. All of the beers I tried were pretty average. A couple of other craft breweries on tap like Everybody’s Brewing.

Service at the bar was pretty good for my one-person tour group. I also got to meet the brewer which was nice. My sandwich for lunch was tasty.

Overall this is a pretty good beer spot in Seattle.

Upon entering I am right in front of a full scale, functioning brewing system. To the left through some glass doors is where the actual pub is. Atmosphere in here is basic brewpub ambiance. The beer lineup is solid, not knock-my-sock-offs, but decent.

Nice place but the parking can be rough. There is very little to be found for parking the side streets are your best bet. An old warehouse converted into a brewery/pub this was a great look inside. Loved that I can go watch and talk to the brewers. Brewing a Red amber ale as we where talking. The brews where fresh and pretty good. They have lots of stuff on nitro and over 12 fresh brews ready to go. The food was pub faire and also good. They allow kids so that is a plus and there is some great atmosphere to soak up while in the Fremont area. This is a must stop in Seattle for brew pubs. Hales has been around along time and will be there for a long time to come. The servers know the product and where helpful in getting some of the beer info that I was looking for. I will be back.

Based on three visits. Not to be missed. It’s the only place to get some of the great Hales Ales. Recall the ales, but only ate there once, and the memory is fuzzy.

Visited on a rainy January Tuesday afternoon. Place was pretty slow, but did seem to have a few regulars hanging about. The Pub itself sits off to one corner in the middle of the production brewery. They did a nice job designing the space to be both a part of of the brewery and still be apart from the brewery, if that makes any sense. The bar and seating areas have a nice, worn classic pub feel. They serve their beers in a variety of sizes from taster to pitcher, which I always appreciate. Service was attentive, though not really that friendly. I was there during happy hour, and they had some really nice prices. I had a personal size sausage and mushroom pizza along with two schooners, and I think my total was below $10. Enjoyed the visist, not sure if I would put in in the upper tier of beer places in Seattle, but certainly worth the visit.

I walked here from the Maritime Pacific brewery which wasn’t too bad. I sat out on the porch which was nice, though my waitress wasn’t very attentive. Good brews nonetheless. Recommended.

Nice looking place. A lot nicer than what the surrounding area would have you think. This place serves up a couple of excellent house brews. I really enjoy the Barleywine, Mongoose IPA, Wee Heavy and the Moss Bay Extra. The appetizers I’ve had have been really tasty. The nock on this place is the help. To me it seems like college kids who really don’t care. So a few times I’ve been there the service has been less than friendly. Regardless, I’ll be back for more the next time I’m in the NW.

I visited this place after Brouwer’s cafe on a Friday afternoon. There is a large brewery on the right as you walk in, with the brewpub portion being on the immediate left in a windowed-off room. Long bar with some couches as well as booths present. Bright, well-lit. They had about 10 beers on tap while I was there and the bartender was prompt and attentive. I had some samples that were a buck a piece. I did not have the food. Bathrooms were spacious and clean. I enjoyed the beer and the time I spent here. Relaxing.
