Review Highlights
The best damn beer tour around. You're not going to see much other than a room and a couple of vats for brewing, but you're going to taste and be entertained with their beer. While you soak up.. maybe one or two bits of knowledge in beer making along the way.
$1 gets you a glass and a really great buzz going as you sample the brewery's wide selection of brews.You also get a very good tour of the brewery. More than you ever really needed to know, but really, it's fun times.
Then you have the restaurant attached. I really couldn't express how much enjoyment I got out of the beer float. Something magical about beer and ice cream. It's like combining the best things in life!
The food was also pretty damn good, though I didn't get any beer while dining. I think I had way more than enough in the beer tour. So my burger was paired with some water. Had some of the soup as well and it was pretty nice to not get fries on the side of a burger. I mean, the carbs could soak up the beer alright, but the calories saved just went to the beer drinking!
Over all, this is one amazing place to come and enjoy the food, the beer tour and to get some pretty good beer merchandise from RedHook.
One of the best brewery tours I've ever been on.
Microsoft Prime 2009-20010
Ambience: 4
Food: 3
Value: 5
Redhook is gold standard by which all others breweries will be compared to; its value cannot be beat.
Redhook is very pretty: situated in Woodinville across from Chateau St. Michelle and next to Colombia Winery. They have a large out door patio where, wheather permitting, you can drink out doors. Remember: liquor before beer (basically, go for more alcohol to less alcohol), so goto the wineries first. Also, they have summer out door movies there on the grass lawn, they serve beer up until the movie starts (the tip they gave me was to stock up on as many as you can carry at last call): pretty cool.
So, granted the beers aren't magical: Mac and Jack and the Elysian both have better beer.
The food isn't gourmet either: Elysian and Hale's both have better food.
BUT!!! It's prime, which means that it's 2 for 1: BOGO. It's typical American fare, think Red Robin, their burgers and sandwiches are pretty good. At $10 (meaning ~$6 each after the prime discount for 2 people) it's a pretty good deal, much better than McDonalds. I (and everyone else) recommend the California burger: avocado and bacon!? Why didn't anyone think of this before?
The beer tour is fantastic and absolutely the best value around: for $1 they get you plastered, informed, and entertained. The $1 fee also gets you a glass! A very good looking glass; I'd pay $1 just for the glass. Yes, I have a collection. I've gone with friends, co-works, and family (my 14 yr old sister went through the tour, albeit very bored cuz she couldn't drink anything, but she has a t-shirt from this place).
The answer to quiz question: how do they get the beer across the street from the old factory to the new factory is... through an underground tunnel (this answer is good for one extra beer).
The well educated guide walks you through the beer making process and lets you taste everything that they make. From the ESB to the Porter to the Seasonal, it's fantastic.
Did I mention that the beer tour costs only $1? And it's 2-for-1 food?
I'm pretty sure taking the tour at Redhook Ale Brewery was the most wise decision. EVER! For $1 (that's right, $1) you take a tour of Redhook and sample the 5 beers they make (and you get a sixth beer of your choosing too!). For $1! You also get to take home your sample glass, which is cool I guess. At 5 oz though I'd say it's more of a glorified shot glass than a pint, but I guess all those days when I'm feeling classy I can pour my 40 of PBR into this awesome glass, right?
Our tour guide was very funny, knowledgable and was quite entertaining. Who knew that Whisky and Beer come from the same ingredients? I sure didn't.
The beer itself was A-Ok. Not a huge fan of the ESB or the IPA, but the Blackhook Porter just might be the best dark beer I've had. Their seasonal SunRye was delicious and I liked it enough to buy some, but alas, they were sold out.
If you enjoy beer check out the tour... it's only $1. If you don't know anything about beer check out the tour... it's only $1. Even if you don't even like beer check out the tour.... it's only $1. In conclusion, check out the tour.
Do the tour! For a buck you can't go wrong, you'll get about a pint and a half of tasty beer. When I have people from out of town ask what "Seattle thing" to do, or would be fun, this is it. Great beer and history. Too bad its a bit of a drive from where I live, but it just makes it that more special when I go.
I have to wonder about a place that serves burgers with the options of either a salad or chips to go with it. Whatever happened to the fries? Granted I didn't check if they even had fries on the menu, I just went with what the waiter offered me. Fries might have been $2 extra in which case, they ought to get 1 star instead of 2.
The burger was just ok. mainly because it wasn't very hot anymore by the time I got it. Mine was a California burger topped with guacamole (which seemed to actually be a mashed avocado with nothing else) and bacon. Bacon is what saved it.
From what I saw, my friends seemed to enjoy their meals--a mushroom burger, gnocci with pesto, and a bratwurst, but without trying any of theirs, I'd venture to say that even theirs were mediocre.
I like the salmon fillet burger. Wish they sold fries or even the Tim's Cascade chips like before.
While the beer is still great, I miss the nitro Blackhook. The Autumn Ale was really nice, too.
Best of all, it's just off the Burke Gilman trail for those who arrive on bike.
Beer: good. Food: meh.
I only drank the Blackhook Porter, but it was quite good. If I wanted a place to go just for beers, Redhook would be a good choice.
Unfortunately, the food was really unimpressive. The nachos were decent, but honestly, how hard is it to throw some toppings onto a bunch of tortilla chips? The burger I had was ridiculously overcooked and as a result, quite dry.
Service was also spotty, with long waits (10-20 minutes) each time we wanted to order anything.
So yeah, if you're coming here just for the beer and don't mind waiting awhile, then you'll probably have a good time. If you're looking for somewhere to eat though, go elsewhere or be disappointed.
A real disappointment. At some point in time I heard that the beer tour was robust, entertaining, and thirst quenching. My how things change. Instead of all these things I expected, I found myself stuffed into a humid and dank room crowded with 40 year olds who were trying to relive their jubilant college days of old. Do you know what's worse than having to listen to a group of too-old-to-be-acting-this-stupid adults? Nothing. The information about the brewery was superficial at best. And really, after a few minutes of having to hear a guy as old as my father make "that's what she said" jokes, I basically stopped caring.
The food was also no crowning achievement. Lifeless burgers and (get this) no fries. I didn't know there was a place in this country that didn't pair burgers with fries. How utterly disappointing AND un-American.
I really wish I could give half stars sometimes.
A group of us stopped in to the brewery for dinner. The inside restaurant was full, but they have a huge deck off of it which worked out perfectly.
I started with an IPA which was pretty decent. We ordered nachos for an appetizer and the IPA actually went very well with it. I then switched over to the Black Hook, which was certainly not a Guinness, but it was a very good dark beer.
For dinner I had the pulled pork sandwich, which was average at best, but still satisfied.
Thankfully the beer was good, that is the only thing that got this place 3 stars, I'd really prefer to give it 2 1/2. The service was terrible, we often waited 15 minutes or more between seeing our server. Granted the place was full, but they either need more servers or ours was just that bad.
The tour only costs a dollar and you get to try five different beers on tap, plus take home a souvenir glass. Super cool in my book and pretty recession friendly.
You get to learn all kinds of fun facts while on the tour. There is a whole lot more drinking than walking on the tour. That might be a good thing.
I highly recommend making this a stop on any trip to Seattle, especially if you like beer.
I am probably going to be in the minority with my review, but I am not pleased with Redhook Brewery. It might as well be a Hard Rock Cafe. The food is so-so and typical of a themed-burger joint with most a touristy and non-repeat clientelle. It is always packed, so there is obvious appeal to some people. I have found the wait staff to be friendly, but less than attentive. Unless you are a die-hard bear affectionado I'd suggest going somewhere else.
I will add the location is convenient for people who want to head out on a walk, ride or skate along the Samammish River Trail and then hop over to the Brewery.
This is the most entertaining, educational and CHEAP, brewery tour I've ever gone on. And I've probably visited 20+ times since I used to live about a mile away. Somehow they manage to make the tour original and funny each time. I have a huge collection of the sample glasses you get to keep for the grand total of $1. You get five or six (or seven) pours depending on who is running the tour. The setting is gorgeous, right next to the Chateau Ste Michelle and Columbia wineries, and The Herb Farm. You can ride your bikes along the beautiful Burke-Gilman trail, though this can make for a drunken ride home. This has led to some fallen soldiers on my part as I have dropped my sample glasses on the shaky bike ride home. Their ESB is my all-time favorite beer, and we just put in a keg in at our house, as well as the Redhook tap handle. I'm a very happy camper since you can't find this on tap anywhere in Denver! Second favorite is the Winterhook and since it was just released, it will go in our house next. Also love the Copperhook. The food is decent, some better than others but this is a place I have taken many friends, family and visitors over the years and I've never heard complaints. Normally I prefer fries with my burgers too, however when the alternative is Tim's Cascade chips...say yes! They are the best chips on the planet, especially jalapeno. I wanted to have my bachelorette party here, I love it that much. Cheers to Redhook, I miss ya!
How far is Ballard from the Redhook Ale Brewery in Woodinville you might ask? Well, it's about 20 miles. On the Birk Gilman trail which kind of turns into the Sammish River Trail.
My former yelper best friend and I decided to take advantage of such a gorgeous day and ride our bikes from Ballard to this lovely place. It took us 3 hours to ride there and 2 hours on the way home. Time space contiuum? Fast peddling? One will never know.
After being roasted for 3 hours in the sun (I wore spf 50, so I am aok!), we pulled up here on our bikes. There are plenty of bike racks for one to park their non-motorized vehicle. The parking lot looks pretty spacious, too.
We sat in the bar, they don't really have tables, just tall rounders and seating along the bar itself. They also have a nice patio outside, but the wait for that was really long. This place looks to be pretty large and accommodating. there were several large parties there and tours of the brewery as well.
They have vegetarian options under each section (apps, salads, sandwiches). I got the reuben melt and he got the Hammer. I must say, I liked my ruben a lot more than he liked his sandwich, which isn't to say it wasn't tasty, but I love a grilled anything with sauerkraut.
This sandwich was the best tasting sandwich I've had in a long time (also could be because it was our destination and thoughts of something not good for me was in sight!). While a beer sounded REALLY good, I didn't want to get a DUI. You can really get one on a bike!
I'd give this place 2 thumbs up. Next time I'm back I'll probably go by car.
The patio is awesome in the summer and the cushy sofa area is the best spot to hang out in the winter. The menu changes every once in a while but the standards remain. Good burgers, really good GIANT salads. Oh yeah, and they have beer too. Ask what's on the Nitro. Or go with the IPA, it's really good.
The tour is a great entertainment value for only $1. Convince all your friends to go and you'll have a cabinet full of glasses.
Don't forget the summer movie series on Thursdays!
THE GOOD:
Good beer, good food
THE BAD:
Can be pricey & Crowded
THE LOWDOWN:
Summertime is the time to go, outdoor seating, movies on the lawn, good beer. Does it get better....only sometimes, but not all wrapped into one. The only bad thing about going to out to drink is the price, but hey, at this age if you don't know that you are an idiot. Great place.
Haven't done the tour yet, but I will do it soon.
Any place that gives me a good buzz for a buck is golden in my book.
Apparently, my dad has the same mentality because he is already planning my brother's 21 run at Redhook.
Like father, like daughter.
The stay at home dads group that I am a part of did a walk up the Sammamish River Trail to Redhook and back today. We reserved the little area by the fireplace and it worked out great. Someone brought a little soft pad and the kids played on it while we had some lunch and drank a beer. The staff was very helpful and accommodating and we all had a really good time. It helps that we have a regular of the pub in the group that knows all of the staff, though.
The menu is a pretty typical brewpub menu and I wasn't expecting anything wonderful, but I actually had one of the better burgers that I've ever had. The Gourmet Beer Burger is hamburger mixed with their Long Hammer IPA and herbs and topped with havarti, bacon and the normal veggies. It was tasty, you could definitely taste the beer in the burger and took the burger from average to outstanding. Of course, it meant it was pretty pricey, $12.95 is kind of steep for a burger, chips and pasta salad. Oh well.
I take everyone who is visiting to do the tour. It really doesn't get better than the dollar tour. Seriously, where else do you get to drink that much for a buck AND get a free glass?
Plus, the tour guides are always really funny.
Good beer. Good food.
I've been on the tour about 5 times now with various groups. Its strange how I never remember all of the information that they give and so it seems new and interesting the next time I go on the tour. Seriously, for a buck you get the equivalent of about 2.5 beers (if you get more at the end when they are pretty generous with the pouring). My wife only wanted a sip of her glasses so I had hers too. So when you have about 5 beers
during a tour that lasts like 30 minutes... yeah, its hard to remember the details. But the tour is pretty good.
The restaurant is moderately priced and has pretty good food. I think the hummus plate and cheese plate are much better than I would think a brewpub would have. The beers are tasty - I especially like the ones that you can only get there, like the nitros and cask ales.
Also, Trivia night on Tuesdays are very fun. Fred is a really good host.
Buy one case for $24 on Mondays- and get a second 1/2 off. They will let you make mixed cases too- so got a bunch of different kinds of brew.
Went in for lunch and walked out with two cases of beer.
Lunch was ok- seemed reasonably priced and came out fast. Service was a bit slow- but they had a tour bus arrive that I think sent things into a tail spin..... What business do old people on a tour bus have in a Brewery?
Who cares though? Two cases of (excellent) beer for less than $40.
5 stars right there.
Pleasant brewery atmosphere. Pleasant mixed menu. Friendly service. Fun patio. Check it out!
Wait? What? This blonde hasn't written about her other favorite blonde? GET OUT!
Redhook Blonde is my most favorite beer EVAH. During the summer this is a fun place to be: Movies on the lawn, great outside sitting area, soaking up sun and drinking yummy beers. They also have great tours and you will sample some of said yummy beer. I came here a couple days ago and enjoyed a delicious burger after some wine tasting. It came out really quickly, and under $10? A deal.
Redhook is only getting four stars for one fatal flaw: Bathroom. Ick. It's muggy in there, and there was a nice looking plunger right under the sink.
Not so bad ~~
It had been a long time- since I ventured back towards Woodyville to dine out and I was really happily surprised! Arrived early on Saturday afternoon, ( recommend it b/c a zoo like feel begins after 1pm) took some out of town family...who were sick of seafood, and stayed simple with burgers/ salad.
Good service- clean- great beer- nice atomosphere...overall a nice day..with high quality bar food. Recommend it~ for a break of the usual burger/beer experience.
Pros~ something to do after you eat- a tour and more beer! Prompt service, great burgers & salad.
Cons~ chili icky ..& had we not gotten there early- we would have been run over by cyclist's spandex in the lobby clamoring for a seat somewhere.
The lunchtime crowd was pretty sparse, probably because it was a Monday holiday, but who knows?
Half an order of nachos was plenty enough for two, even leaving me with no room for the porter ice cream sundae that I coveted.
Service was slow. Not sure why, but it seemed there were only two servers for the entire dining area and bar.
And since you have to buy store merchandise at the bar and not from a separate cashier, I observed one determined young woman standing at the bar with credit card in hand for at least five minutes, trying to catch someone's attention. Even when one of the servers came within inches of her, the server made no eye contact, no indication that someone would be with her shortly. Whatever the buyer wanted must have been really special to put up with that.
It wasn't a bad experience for me. I enjoyed it and will go back. But it wasn't four-star worthy, so there you go.
First time going here this past weekend. It was a Saturday afternoon around 4:00. We actually got seated pretty quickly. We were waiting in the bar area and just got our beers in hand when the waitress came over to grab us.
I was surprised at how many kids were around. The table next to us was chock full of them whilst the parents were at the other side of the room. Convenient...for THEM. Fortunately they left pretty quickly after we sat down.
Our waitress was really nice. We had ordered a plate of nachos as an app, then setttled on our meals. Unfortunately our nachos never arrived :( But! The waitress brought them over free-of-charge since they would have gone to waste anyway.
I ordered the Hammer sammy with turkey instead of ham; husband got the Pastrami; Sis-in-law got the normal turkey sammy; Bro-in-law got the bratwurst. There was really a ton of food! My turkey sammy was really fresh and tasty. The sauerkraut on the pastrami and brat was expecially yummy. I just love kraut.
Overall I'd give the brewery a solid 3 stars...I tipped my vote into the 4 star range because of the apologetic waitress, plus the meal was a scant $28 (w/o tip) for our half - which included a pitcher of beer!
Beautiful location. For an afternoon you can check out Red Ale Brewery, then visit Chateau St. Michelle just down the street to seriously get your buzz on. Red Ale Brewery has much more sophisticated food than I expected, including a brie and cheese platter and tons of salads. Our tour guide was funny and very generous with the booze. Makes a great afternoon.
Great beer, good service at the bar, but be prepared for crappy service at the tables
Attention** This rating is strictly for the beer. I did not enjoy any food here because frankly, I was too drunk and full from the beer tasting. It seems as though the more you drink, the less hungry you become.** With that said, I had a great time at Red Hook. Any friend that comes into town this is a place I will be taking them. Woodinville is conveniently located only about 20 mins away from me, so driving is a breeze. If you plan to go to Red Hook, check the brewery tour times. For $1.00 yes, you read that right, $1.00 YOU my friend, can have 5 tastings of beer. And these tastings are not measly teeny tiny tastings, I think the glasses they give you are 4oz. so that times 5 (for our tour I think the guide liked us so we got 6) you are feeling pretty good. Basically its not much of a "tour" by any means, you get taken to a room upstairs and told about the history of Red Hook, see some of the bottling and plant down below, sniff some hops, and drink. It is a really good time, the people on the tour are fun (probably cause their drunk) and everyone we encountered working there was very nice also. On Thursday nights they show movies outside during the summer which seems awesome, and they also have a nice large deck. My ideal day would be to ride bikes along the Slough, then stop at Red Hook for lunch and beer on the patio. Hopefully we have some more sunny days this year so I can make this happen.
Sometimes ya gotta get on yer hands and knees.
And scrub a toilet.
(Get your minds out of the gutter.)
So drinking lots of beer leads to...peeing. The bathrooms were, to put it mildly, grody. No TP, papers all over the floor, and only 2 out of 6 or 7 terlets were...ahem...not clogged. I realize that with the tours, the pub, and tourists, they are quite busy. But Disneyland is way busier and their crappers are immaculate. (I did tell the hostess my concerns, very nicely; this is not a passive aggressive review!)
Went here to do the tour and have dinner; the tour was fun and economical - for $1 you get a glass sample glass, and a little over a pint of different kinds of beers. The "tour guide" was entertaining, though if you know the basics of brewing you won't learn anything new.
Had dinner in the Forecaster's Pub, it was decent pub grub and we had a coupon (Entertainment Book!) so it was half off. But the ambiance was sorely lacking - it felt more like eating in a hospital cafeteria. The service was great though, just like with the tour.
Redhook doesn't offer much variety or much in the way of different beers to me. They've only got 5 to 6 on tap, 5 being year-rounds with 1 seasonal. They are interesting in that they only use water, hops, grain and yeast - nothing else. But unfortunately, that can make the selection a bit pedestrian.
All in all it was pretty beige, except for the bathrooms, which were *gags*
It was fairly crowded and the hostesses were confused and not helpful whatsoever.
The beer fortunately was very good and the Roast Beef I ordered with it was yummy.
We didn't do any of the tours but this definitely seems to be a "happening" place - although it is kind of in the middle of nowhere.
A very fun and casual atmosphere. I definitely recommend doing the sampler and then ordering a pitcher.
The only reason I would ever go to Redhook is for the $1 buzz and the free tasting glass. That's it and that's all.
Their beer is mediocre compared to all that is available in the Seattle/surrounding areas. If you want to really expand your palate, head over to Malt & Vine in Redmond on Friday nights for their $1 tastings. The beer menu changes every week.
The food at Redhook is also miserable compared to what I have come to expect from the phenomenal bar food at most breweries. Blech in general. I leave the mash sparging (or whatever the hell it is) to some other unlucky visitor.
Good beer. The food is so so. On Tuesday night they have trivia and it can get pretty lively.
If I could, I would stay at Red Hook Brewery everyday during the summer. Especially because they have tours every hour! We came to the brewery to take the tour of the place and to taste some beer. We arrived at 3 and of course, that was a bit too early so we headed off to Chateau Ste Michelle and Columbia only to return at 5.
When we returned, we were greeted by a crowd of people (at least 50) who were all there for the same reason. BEER! When the clock struck 5, a young gentleman herded us upstairs and we began the tour...with a BEER!
After serving everyone a beer, he told us a little story about the brewery. Towards the end of the story, my friends and I slowly moved to the door that led to the brewery hoping we'd be the first ones in. Unfortunately for us, we had to get more BEER!
He filled another round of beers for everyone and started yapping again. When he was done, you guessed it, it was time for more BEER!
Starting to see a pattern here? So, this tour turned out to be nothing more than a long speech with 5 beer breaks in between, but hey, you don't see me complaining! At the end of it all, we got to keep our shot glass and it all only cost $1/person.
I gave it a -1 star because there were WAAAY too many people upstairs.
What a great tour.
Thank you, and I WILL come again.
Brewery tour was one of the best I've ever done. The guy was informative and had a great sense of humor - which made it much more interesting. The beer was great - the hardest part was deciding who has to be the unlucky designated driver. Unfortunately it was me so I couldn't indulge in more Blonde ale. Yum.
We had lunch here before the tour - food was pretty average.
I can't wait to venture to NH to go this tour again. I hope its as good as Seattle!
WHY do I keep coming back here!!?? (Which is what I ask myself every time I sit down to a meal at Redhook). OH shoot, that's right, its because you can pay a buck and get a tour where you drink tons of yummy beer and sample just about everything they have to offer. Tours are always lots of fun and entertaining, but once you go for grub its a much different story. I've been here probably five times and I have gotten downright terrible service EVERY time. Once, I went for a friends birthday and went to the evening tour then for dinner. We ended up waiting an hour before we realized they gave our table to another group who got there well after us, and when we complained they gave us chips and we had to wait another hour. THEN we got serious attitude from the server who never refilled our drinks and got many orders wrong.
Once, about six of us met here for dinner (some came from Everett some from W. Seattle) and when we got there, they had closed the entire place for their holiday party. Which is cool that they would do that, but at least put something up on your website!!!
But yet, we still go back because the beer is cold and plentiful. Sigh...
I actually didn't have the beer, so I can't comment on that.
However, contrary to other reviewers, my man and I got seated after not long of a wait and had good service. The waiter was really on top of things coming by to see how we were doing, refilling the order, the food came out quick.
The food was good, but not great. Good enough to eat again if I was in the area though.
There was some live music and the band was decent
No love for the Redhook Ale Brewery tour? Really?
We went for kicks this afternoon and had a blast! Honestly, nestled among most of the Woodinville wineries who charge at least $5 for a tasting, there's Redhook in all its humble glory, offering a brewery tour and five (count 'em, five!) tastings all for a buck. ONE DOLLAR. Dude, you really can't beat it. And, I might add, each tasting comes in a 5.5 ounce glass that you get to keep. That's about two pints of the Pacific Northwest's finest brews and you get a nice education to boot.
Our tour host was Zack, and he was destined for stardom. Zack had knowledge, Zack had charisma, and best of all, Zack happily poured the tastings. We started off with the Blond ale...which is in the process of being replaced by their newest offering, Slim Chance. I had the opportunity to try both and preferred the Slim Chance. Next we tasted the Copperhook (and, keep in mind that my opinions are just that, my own un-beer-educated opinions) and it was one of my favorites. A little like the ESB but with a smooth finish.
ESB was up next and, true to its name, had a bit of a bitter finish that apparently is an acquired taste. I've been trying to acquire a taste for Scotch for years and it still tastes like soap to me, so I'm a plebe. The fourth taste was the Long Hammer IPA, and it was definitely too bitter for me. The last taste was my favorite, the Blackhook Porter. I could've happily jumped into a vat of that stuff.
All in all, a great and informative tour with a helpful guide, studded with an interesting tasting of ales. I'd recommend it to anyone in the Woodinville area.
Went out originally with some friends to pick up some wine at Chateau Ste Michelle (he's part of the wine club), we were feelin' like we needed something to eat so we rolled across the street the the pub - did you know this is called The Forecasters Pub? I had NO idea.
I was way tempted to get some edamame as the people near us had a big ol' bowl of it for $3.25. But I didn't want to be a weirdo... gettin' edamame at a brewery? Pish-shaw.
Instead, I opted for a small baja salad and three of us split a pitcher of blonde - yummers!
We got there kinda late and opted out of the tour (maybe next time), but the atmosphere was good.
Minus one star for playing too much country. YUCK!
Food is solid. Do the tasters if you fancy. But honestly, this is low quality for an actual brewery. Especially in Seattle. Possibly being owned by Budweiser has something to do with it. However on that note, I'd drink one of their beers over most widely popular beers like Bud, Coors, Heineken, MGD, Pabst etc..
Recommended: Their stout. It doesn't taste like a stout, it tastes like a stout mixed with a weak beer. Kinda takes off the edge a bit.
