Big Time Brewery is a classic Seattle spot that absolutely holds up on a sunny day. Grabbed a seat in the outdoor seating area on a Saturday afternoon and it was the perfect setup — great vibe, great weather, great company. It was buzzing with people, which speaks to how popular this place is on a nice weekend. The kind of spot where you lose track of time without even trying. Definitely worth a visit!

My friend left her passport yesterday, and luckily it was already collected by staffs and we could get back the next morning! Thank you so much! Their beer is also good, I tried Cherry cream something under light beer section. As a person who only drinks one w low alcohol, it was perfect for me to enjoy the feeling/taste(not that heavy, light, and fruity enough!) but keep alive.

Rick helped us plan an amazing fundraising event for our university organization! It was a great turnout and so much fun. The beer was amazing and the food was great! I got the verde nachos which were a massive portion for a great price. As a self proclaimed beer snob the dark beers (porter and oatmeal stout) were so smooth and absolutely delicious. I plan on returning often and supporting Rick and his brewery and you should too!

Had the pork verde nachos here along with a couple of beers. These nachos came in a massive plate - the portion size was a bit excessive to be honest. There was a ton of cheese - comprising the vast majority of the toppings on the chips. The pork was probably the second-most present, followed by jalapenos The cheese was probably the only decent thing here. It really was melted well onto the chips, and I got a pretty good cheese pull with each bite. However, the rest of it was not great. I did not like the pork - as it felt pretty dry, and without its juiciness lost most of its flavor. The chi
