Seattle Beer Flights With a Side of Art and Live Music
Old Stove Brewing Co - Gardens gives this Seattle collection its backyard-beer-and-burger starting point. Tractor Tavern offers roots, rock and country in a Ballard room, while Traver Gallery adds glass and sculpture. Taproot Theatre supplies a different kind of stage. Pick the performance you want, then compare the other three places for a meal or an art detour.
At 1550 NW 49th St. in Seattle's Ballard neighborhood, Old Stove Brewing Co - Gardens pairs craft beer flights with indoor and outdoor seating. Smoked porter is among the dark beers noted here. Smash burgers and light, fluffy fries anchor the pub fare. The backyard setting gives the stop its relaxed character. Some patrons report service challenges during large private events.
