Old Stove Brewing Co - Gardens

This Ballard venue functions as a backyard oasis, balancing a relaxed environment with the practicality of both indoor and outdoor seating. The menu centers on craft beer flights—frequently noted for dark options like the smoked porter—and classic pub fare, specifically smash burgers and light, fluffy fries. While the space is well-regarded for its beer selection and atmosphere, note that service challenges can emerge when the site hosts large private events.
