🍺 The garden pour

Old Stove Brewing runs a full outdoor beer garden in Ballard, where house-brewed pints are poured a few steps from a gravel patio lined with communal picnic tables. String lights cross the space overhead, and a painted mural anchors one wall of the yard.

The kitchen sends out tray food built for sharing, from griddled sandwiches and fries to a paper boat of mac and cheese. The yard fills on clear afternoons, and the whole setup reads like a neighborhood backyard that happens to brew its own beer, with room for groups, strollers, and long stretches in the sun. The Ballard location holds a 4.5 rating across more than 200 reviews.

It sits on NW 49th Street, a short walk from Ballard Avenue and the shops and bars that fill the rest of the neighborhood.
