We love them, but that doesn't mean kids aren't picky. If you're in a bind over how to entertain your beloved buggers this summer, check out Rooftop Brewing Company, a kid-friendly brewery in Seattle. This neighborhood gathering place gives kids chalk, games, and all the dogs they'd like to pet. It also gives their parents a much-needed break.
Specializing in imaginative craft beers, Rooftop first emerged as the passion project of friends Craig, Jess, Parker, Angela, and Tyson. With a little start-up capital, a lot of passion, and even more hard work, their business blossomed from its humble beginnings in a garage to the bustling hub it is today.
Located at a busy intersection connecting Interbay, Queen Anne, and Ballard, Rooftop has swiftly become a neighborhood favorite. On any given day, and I mean any given day, you'll find this spot abuzz. Best of all, its friendly atmosphere attracts locals from all walks of life, resulting in a wholesome and totally family-friendly vibe.
Have kids of the fur and no-fur variety? All are welcome here! If you're arriving with kids in tow and no four-legged companion, you'll find most owners are more than receptive to a respectful interaction between your child and their canine. Just be sure that your brood's well-instructed on safe doggie etiquette!
Bring your own board game or ask to borrow one of the brewery's. There's also a chalk wall practically begging for some spanking new art. I, myself, have asked for chalk so I can doodle.
Hanger is the kryptonite of copacetic family gatherings, but Rooftop has you covered. Stave off a grumpy mood with freshly-popped popcorn.
Better yet, patronize one of the many food trucks that post up just outside. While there's no shortage of excellent restaurants nearby, many talented Seattle chefs get their start with food trucks before committing to a brick-and-mortar location, meaning you'll get mouth-watering eats for a lower cost. These food trucks operate on a revolving basis, so if you want to make sure their offerings align with your kids' tastes, check who's scheduled to be there in advance.
If you're on the lookout for a kid-friendly brewery in Seattle this summer, be sure to check out Rooftop Brewing Company. While they have games and chalk to entertain your kiddos, perhaps even more importantly, they've cultivated a welcoming neighborhood environment. Whether you're a local or visiting the area, this local gem belongs on your radar.
