    Five stars for the tour. Absolutely can't be beat for five dollars. One star for the restaurant. We arrived right at 1, too late for the 1pm tour. So we thought we would eat and pregame before the tour. Nope. It took twenty minutes to get seated and another fifteen to get waited on. So by the time we got to order we only had about twenty minutes before the tour. The waitress even said it'd take the kitchen longer than that to get the food out. We were starving. After the better part of an hour all we were able to do is drink one beer. Not impressive.

    I haven't gone on a tour yet but have eaten there a few times. The food is pretty good, especially their burgers. The wait is a bit long (30 min. ave.) but I'm not in a rush while there. I like to try a few beers that are new to me which is why I think they may take a little longer than most restaurants. I'd love to go to one of their out door converts too. Will have to do that next summer. Overall, my experience is that the staff are friendly, the place is really clean and the beer is at the optimal temp.

    I have been twice in two days. I feel obligated to note the service issue. Ordered our meals and a sampler tray. Literally 20 minutes and, not one,but two inquiries to the host as we couldn't find our server to find our beer. Just got an oops they put it outside was the reason? It had died down so not sure where he disappeared to. No real apology again. Just weird to have a brewery that can't serve you the beer. I let him know I was upset and got no recognition. You would think an apology that was honest, some attention or just don't charge for the beer. Anywho, sad I won't be back.

    Though it can be a little pricey I am happy to pay the big bucks for this experience. This is a world-class brewery and I love that they offer tours and special events. Definitely worth attending

    I'll make it simple: Service: Just okay Food: Not bad, had the fish N' chips. Beer: Great!! Atmosphere: Good, especially being in Woodinville on a sunny day. Tour: Never been...hope to try soon.

    I've always enjoyed this place. The dish I always get is the salmon sandwich - really good. However, the ebb and flow of seating and the new seating configuration is not to our liking. We did like it the old way, but alas - change must occur. If feels more like a lower-end Brave Horse Tavern.

    Stopped here for a beer before heading over to the winery. If you want to sit in the bar, its small area with standing room for groups with more than 2 people. The beer is OK, they also have other guest beers on tap. If I were heading over to the winery for a concert, I would stop here for a drink again.

    I'm not a beer drinker, so this review is purely for the food! However, my boyfriend got the beer sampler and it seems like a pretty good deal because you get to sample 7 different beers for $7. We started out with the housemade pretzel, which is definitely one of the best soft pretzels I've had in awhile. The thick doughy texture of the pretzel was amazing dipped in both the whole grain mustard and the ESB cheese sauce. After we finished the first one, we immediately ordered another! I also had the Yard Bird, which is essentially a grilled chicken sandwich with guacamole, cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, bacon, and chipotle mayo. The mayo was a little too heavy for my taste, but the chicken was grilled nicely. They skimped a little on the guacamole, so I really didn't taste it at all. The sandwich as a whole was pretty good, but the fries got soggy by the end of the meal. My boyfriend had the BBQ smoked pork, which came with a giant portion of pulled pork drizzled with BBQ sauce. The meat had a great smokey flavor, but it got a little heavy and repetitive towards the end. You get two sides along with cornbread that didn't taste that fresh. There are definitely some good items on the menu, you just have to order the right things! The atmosphere is great though, and it's a nice stop if you're biking along the Burke Gilman trail.

    Redhook is a beer lovers paradise... alas, I am not a beer lover, so I didn't get to bask in the full glory. The good: if you like beer, the tasting here is for you - $a nominal fee gets you 5 or 6 half glasses of beer to wet your whistle while a knowledgeable Redhook tour guide tells you about the facility. The bad: the tasting an tour is a full hour, quite crowded, and doesn't actually let you get all that close to the equipment (you're mostly looking through observation hatches). Seating is limited, so if you're in a busy tour you might end up on your feet for an hour while drinking beer, which isn't quite as nice has having a pint and taking a load off. The ugly: oh my goodness the food here is beyond mediocre. Like, just, bland and bad and suuuuuuuuuuuuper over priced. $15 for a black bean burger (the one and only veg option, I might add, other than salad)? No, and thank you. So... 4 stars for beer, 2 stars for everything else? We'll call it 3 stars overall I guess. Avoid the food if you can, and be ready for a long (if also tasty) endeavor if you want to do a tasting.

    My family and I have been coming to Red Hook for several years and always do the tour and have lunch. We have always brought groups to do the tour and no one is ever disappointed. It's funny, the beer is good and you can take kids. It was the perfect primer to lunch or dinner. Now, the tour costs $5. I asked the blonde lady at the desk what the difference was between the $1 tour and the $5 your and she said "nothing except you get a pint glass." Ok, I can get that. She told me that RH was losing money with the $1 tour because the beer cost more than the tour. Well, why do kids cost $5 then? They don't drink beer. "They take up space," she said. THEY TAKE UP SPACE! Not only will I never return for a tour at Redhook, I will never bring my friends and family to tour at Redhook. I will also never eat at Forecasters because the food and service are two starts out of five at best and the only reason to go was the tour/meal combo. Redhook, your beer is good. Some of it is really good. However, I won't give my money to greedy assholes who charge for a child because they take up space. Tours are to turn people on to your beer and that's it. Anytime you came out with a new beer I was there to try it and learn about it. Now for $5 I can just buy it at the store and try it. Disappointing.

    I went with a flight so I could sample several beers and I wasn't very impressed with any of them. The best one was the ESB. I also tried the fried cheese curds and they were pretty decent.

    I live close by and randomly decided to stop by for a tour here the other day. I had a beer while I waited for the tour to start, and it was happy hour so I got a 16oz beer for like $3.50 or something like that. I was happy about that. The tour was $5 but I got to try 5 different beers and take home a commemorative pint glass, and it was a weekday so I got to watch the bottling process as part of the tour, which I enjoyed. Definitely worth the $5 in my opinion. I have also come here on a few occasions just to hang out at the pub. I like the Audible Ale, Wisecracker, and of course ESB brews. I took off a star just because the food options at the pub are limited and in my opinion the food is overpriced. I think $7 for a basket of fries was steep.. It'd be so much better if they had some more affordable options and a couple meatless options as well. All in all, this place has good beer, lots of parking, and I will continue to come here as long as I live in the area.

    I had the big Ballard IPA and California burger. Very good food good service and good beer definitely will come back.

    Get the Nachos! They are delicious. I am a fan of the food, however there tends to be a long wait. Sometimes my husband and I leave because we have been told the wait could be up to an hour. Get there early! It is great in the spring/summer they have an outdoor section!

  • John O.

    The pretzel they offer is the best. Food is decent overall but there is a noticeable flying insect problem in he kitchen as you can see them shewing away the pests. A tip for those who complain about seating...it's beer, sit at the bar and man up. There are better beers and better food nearby in Redmond...those places have one or the other and not enough seating and/or parking. Red hook has all that in one place. Could get better and should definitely eliminate the pests before they end up in someone's food...

    I read in several magazines that this is the place to visit. Overall I was not impressed. Maybe my expectations were high. The food was average, but I will say the beer was very good. The service was below average. I was brought the bill before I was asked if I needed anything else. The waitress was Rachel. Win some lose some. I will not be back. My recommendation if you are just looking for a beer this is a good place, anything else I would not visit this place.

    Great tour, excellent, knowledgeable guide and an overtime Seahawks win in the middle for some added excitement. Loved the pumpkin porter and the food was really good.

  • Andrew D.

    Recommend to any and everyone! The tour is $5 and you learn about the Red Hook history while sampling their beer. They give you a decent pour of each one (about half a glass) and you can't go wrong for the price. The tour alone was worth the trip but we also ate at the restaurant. We had burgers, fries, and more beers! It's exactly what I imagined it to be. The burgers were great and the fries (with some of their ranch) were delicious! I will return every time I'm in the area for sure! If I can recommend a beer try the Game-changer! It's a pale ale, one of my all time favorites, and it can only be found here and at Buffalo Wild Wings. It's light and full flavored unlike most pale ales and I think I got the 10 oz for like $3.80.

    Red Hook has remodeled and opened up the space, and it seems busier than ever especially since the bicyclists have taken over, but it just doesn't seem as welcoming, fun, and inviting as it once was. The beers are great, the food is better than it used to be now that they have a full service kitchen, but the service is slow most of the time. They do have great outdoor seating, but again, the service can be lacking. Also, minus one star for $5 brewery tour when it used to be $1 and nothing has changed.

    Excellent! Great food and service. Management has done a great job here. I'll be back and recommend this place strongly to family and friends when they are visiting.

    I really wanted to like Red Hook more but unfortunately I just don't. Their brewery and restaurant has a great location, atmosphere and is surrounded in a wooded area that reminded me much of some of the breweries back in Colorado. A heavily used bike trail is nearby which would provide a great pit stop for bikers who want a bite to eat or a cold brew. It was a bike path where I demanded to myself that I must go on sometime and the pull of going to Redhook may be too strong, but that's ok. I would consider going in again but knowing full well I may not be getting the best quality of beer in town. Now that may sound a bit harsh but it is honest. Steve and I got the sample tray of all of their signature beers. While it was beer, it was ok in that regard. But as far as artistically inspired and loved I am not too sure about. Yes, like making high end cuisine, brewing is an art. Much of Redhook's beer tastes mass produced which is interesting because there are breweries that put out way more beer production than Redhook and are successful in making their beer taste like you are getting the "craft brew" experience. Not to say that I didn't like any of their beer. I thought the ESB was good, my favorite among the sampler tray. Second place went to what I think was their seasonal beer. We ordered food as well and while the wait staff was very nice and friendly it seemed to take a long time for our food to show up. I went with the guacamole California Burger. Originally I wanted their Poblano Cheddar Burger but they were all out of Poblano peppers. The burger and fries tasted good. The burger was charbroiled and the fries were just right in plumpness. I noticed the guacamole was starting to turn just a little brown in one corner of my bun but it did not influence the taste of the burger however I wished it appeared fresher. Red Hook has a cute little merchandise store on the other side of the restaurant but nothing we could live without. Going to the Red Hook brewery was my first experience with their beer all together and I left disappointed, however on one hot summer day while on the bike path that brewery could be an irresistible oasis.

    Hung out with some friends yeasterday for the USA Portugal game (Go USA!). This place was packed! We weren't able to get seated due to the long line of people so we just stood around and watched the game. Eventually, we got seated outside. I was craving fries so that's what I had! I'd return again for sure for an actual meal. A beer and a burger most likely.

  • Kevin M.

    This review is strictly for the restaurant, I did not take the tour of the brewery. My first impression of the restaurant was ok, nothing special about the appearance of the dining area. After I got seated, our waitress was very nice, and extremely knowledgeable about their beers. I ordered the ESB burger and had the Big Ballard Imperial IPA. Both the burger and IPA were very good. I was disappointed to learn that the IPA I drank was only sold at the brewery because I was visiting from Los Angeles, but it did give more incentive to return when I visit Washington again. My overall experience was pleasant. Waitresses were kind and attentive, and the food was tasty. This will be on my list of places to visit whenever I'm back in Washington.

    TL:DR; Skip it if you've ever been on any brewery tour, ever, in your life. The beer that Red Hook makes is a treat, and getting 5-6 partial pours for $5 can't be beat. The people are nice, but as our tour (not noticeably delayed by any atypical reason) was running tight on time, one could hardly ask anything not on their basic "what beer is made of" spiel. In fact, the tour guide largely encouraged this by saying that she only had time to either take a few questions, or pour everyone another round. Unlike nearly every other brewery tour I've been on, this one does not walk among the equipment, taking place instead in a single observation room. Aside from that fresh malty beermaking smell, one may as well Google-Image-Search pictures of breweries. They put on unique events, such as their "Pints and Poses" series of yoga classes that include a beer afterward, but these are not likely to be useful to a tourist. The one unique insight I personally gained was on the challenge of being bi-coastal and mid-sized, as opposed to the recipes and practices used by either small or huge outfits. Oh, and the restaurant is nothing special. I think they are banking on diners already being a bit too tipsy to notice the criminally overpriced items, unexceptional even by bar-food standards. There are, unfortunately, a few beers you can only get there, but in a town with many other great beer bars, you might be able to forgive yourself for missing a few.

    Went here tonight for dinner. It was our first time back since the renovation. Too dark & drafty. And the picnic tables...I don't really get it. Our service was fine, but we weren't offered (or given) waters, appetizers, or dessert. What I was really dissatisfied with was my meal. I ordered the $15 Kobe burger. There was nothing Kobe about it. Their burgers are basically a flat season less frozen patty put on the grill to make it edible. There was not nearly enough of the pepper aioli. I would expect this from a place like Applebee's but a well known brewery!? The French fries were pretty good, but it's kind of hard to screw those up! My boyfriend had the ESB burger & while he still had the frozen season less patty, it packed a lot more punch than my $15 burger (BBQ sauce was quite good). Mine was more like a finger tap on the shoulder. I won't be back unless friends decide to go, & I'll make sure to get an appetizer & beer only.

    I had come here for a team building event months ago and was happy enough with the events and games but I remember the food being not so great. Once again, I came with a big group. We were able to get a table fast enough as it was a Monday afternoon. Once seated it took quite a while to get our orders taken and the server seemed irritated. When someone asked about adding an avocado to her dish the servers response was, "I don't know. I hate avocados!" Wow! My Reuben Sandwich was soggy with very little meat, my friend's steak was cold, another persons salad was very sparse. To be fair one person commented that they did enjoy their Mac and Cheese Chicken. The bills were slapped down on the table and seemed to take an eternity to check out. Our server all but disappeared and we received our bills from someone else. Overall it was a one star experience but I am adding a star so that the owners understand that they have what it takes to make a great experience for their diners but they need to train there staff to be much more attentive to details.

    Went for the first time to that brewery. Tried to get a table outside. Hostess was not even looking in my face, just staring into reservation list. Wearing sunglasses, very obnoxious. Name "Maren" (?). Very incompetent and she treated us like we did not exist. Absolutely one of the lousiest hostess I have ever dealt with. If you don't like your job than quit. Cannot recommend that place. Feel sorry for the owner. I'm sure it is a great brewery but if the first impression I get is the grumpy face of that hostess, well thank you, I think I will go somewhere else.

    Bitches be like "you like Redhook?" After an afternoon filled with luxurious wine tasting, we had to stop here for some wings and beer! The wings did not disappoint! My boyfriend and brother got their beer and I had my glass of wine. Even though it was a Saturday on Labor Day weekend we still got seated right away. Our server was awesome, even brought over ice cold water without us asking. Love that. I would encourage you to not come here drunk because they have random metal beams through out the restaurants that could kill you!

    Great place to visit if you're visiting the Seattle area. My uncle took us here to take a tour of their brewery and man was it good. $1 for a tour and beer tasting? You can't beat that with a stick! Our guide was informative (and witty!) and took about an hour. We got to taste 5 different kinds of beers, including an exclusive brews that they created for a private party. You get to know the history of Redhook, how they make beer, and see some of the facilities. If you come on a M-W, you'll also get to witness their bottling operations which is a must see. You also get a nice little Redhook tasting glass to take home. We also stayed to try some more of the beers/food at the bar. - Suggest getting the chicken wings with the BBQ sauce - Nachos were standard but came on a large platter to share with at least 3 other people - Beers are fantastic. Would suggest trying a bunch of them. I'm more of a porter guy so I'd highly recommend the Double Black Stout--excellent coffee/chocolate notes! - They also have a couple of ciders that I've heard are good but they were out. - They have a couple of gluten-free beers in bottles that you can enjoy if your following a GF diet. - Beers are reasonably priced. Come during the 4-6PM Happy Hour for $3.50 pints that are on tap! Little known fact is that they also own Kona brewing company so get a taste of aloha with some of their Hawaiian-based beers. Longboard FTW!

    I ordered the Seattle dog and it wasn't what I expected. I was expecting the Seattle hot dogs you get after a night in downtown, but it's a more fancy kind of Seattle dog. Don't get me wrong, it's still good, just not as great as the Seattle dogs I'm use to. They have a really good kind of ranch though that I used for my fries. I wasn't expecting to be full from what I got because of the other yelp reviews I've read saying that their portions were small, but I think their portions are good sizes. I went with a group of more than 10 people and all of our meals were good sized. It is pretty pricey in my opinion though.

    I've been to several breweries and there was nothing special about this one. Service took longer than traditional breweries. The place didn't have a theme to make it stand out. That said, their food was above average. Their red hook burger hit the spot.

  • Smalls M.

    the wings are good and service is also great, but unfortunately the hamburgers are not. I had the kobe burger and the meat was burnt and it had a lot of oil on the mushrooms and onions... everytime I took a bite grease would drip onto the plate.

    Perfect Rehearsal Dinner" After MUCH electronic and phone searching I settled on the Tour Galley room of the Redhook Brewery for the site for the rehearsal dinner before my son's September 2014 wedding. I estimated around 35 people and wanted a private room. Not an easy thing near Seattle, apparently. Once I settled on the Redhook Brewery the process improved a lot. The private event menus are varied. We went with the Market Street taco bar. It included carne asada, grilled Mahi Mahi, fresh guac, fajita vegies, pineapple salsa, Spanish rice, churros and lots more. Even the most discriminating diners found the food fabulous. Several commented that they didn't expect much because the anticipated bar food, but they thought it was excellent. We also had appetizers: Bruschetta platter (not that great) and the Brie platter, which was extraordinarily good. We also swapped the tortilla chips and salsa off the buffet to the appetizer table and moved the quesadilla appetizers to the buffet. The quantities of everything were perfect. Most items had small quantities left over. The protein just made it, Andrea Harrison Banquet & Event Assistant was fabulous! She was patient despite my slow response time, my uncertainty about menu choices, my ever changing numbers.I can't even guess how many times I changed the reservation, though mostly upward. We had one family that was unsure about being able to make the trip because of a very sick newborn. They were kind enough to wait for the final numbers until the extreme deadline, a few days before the event.They even upped the max allowed in the banquet room to 45 which is exactly how many adults we had. The service was also impeccable I decorated with a theme appropriate to the groom and bride and gave out goodie bags matching the theme. The bar service was great. The tracking of beverages was accurate. What can I say? A great meal in a private room. It was over our original budget, but that was in large part to the higher than originally expected number of out-of-town guests.

    I have never posted a review on yelp but the service at this place was so bad I needed to warn customers of potential problems. We wanted a table by the window to keep an eye on our bikes and the hostess told us it would be 15-20min. After waiting 40min the empty table was still not ready...some excuse about waitress/waiter needs to catch up, but the tables around this one patrons were being seated. The service is terrible and they appear to be confused...not a way to run a business. I'm glad we didn't get seated since probably would have had their $15 greasy burger. Gave al least 1 star since we had a beer while we were waiting for our table and their beer was ok.

  • Spiro G.

    Seems they remodeled lately. The good news is they removed the lousy picnic tables and packed the patio more tightly, though the wait is still about the same - 30-40 min. The bad news is they also removed the hop vines shading the edge of the patio. Also gone is the little outdoor bar you can sit, drink, and mingle while you wait for a table. I am a fan of their beer. Yeah, they've grown big and also brew other beers like Kona, but it's definitely not Budweiser crap. I really like their IPA (though it's not my favorite), their blonde is great on a hot summer day, their porter is good too, though I don't care for the ESB. Food-wise, they do everything very well. Unfortunately the crowd there sucks, it's not a 'bar' crowd, it's quite literally an infestation of yuppie families cycling there from Redmond, drinking too much, then calling cabs home, as the brewery is located next to the Sammamish trail. Definitely bring your own friends, and warn them of the long wait ahead of time so they won't be surprised.

    It was 3 or 4 stars for me on this place. I think on a nice summer day it would be hard to beat as a place to hang out. I'd say the food was good. I enjoyed the burgers, combo meat plate, salad and chicken quesadilla. Just an ok place to watch sports which is why I went sometimes. The place is often packed and strangely I'm standing by the bar waiting for a seat, the bartender is standing is right there in front of me doing nothing and I can't order a beer unless I go stand over by a section of the bar where there is a little metal bar. Maybe there's some strange law I am unaware of. It removed some of the good feeling you'd expect at something like a neighborhood bar. One more thing, there is beer here. Lots of beer. That's what will keep bringing me back. This is a good to place for me when I don't want to have deep thoughts about where to eat. Good variety.

    In the last month, I've been to Redhook/Forecaster's pub 3 times. The service has been great, but the food has been average.....until last night! I ordered the ESB burger, and it was small, dry, overdone and tasteless. I don't understand why it's so difficult to put out a good burger, especially when your charging $13 for it! I would rather have gone to Dick's and got 3 Deluxe's for the about the same price, and been way more satisfied! I didn't catch our waitresses name last night, but she was fantanstic! By far the best part of our visit, and the only reason I would go back at this point! Overall, not impressed by Forcaster's Pub! They seem to think they are a high end top tier restaurant, yet cannot even put out a simple burger!

    Quality beer! I recommend you take the free beer tour. Its short, you get free beer and the guide is fairly entertaining (even more so after the free beer). If you come during the summer they have free movies. The food is okay, nothing memorable but never a bad experience.

  • Andrea S.

    Great food, beer and venue. And you can't go wrong with the $1 tasting tour. My husband had the California Burger. It was cooked a perfect medium-well (inside still pink an juicy). Our server recommend the Yard Bird, so I had to try it. It was really tasty. Chicken was moist - not dried out. It has a kick with the pepper jack cheese and chipotle ranch mayo. It will definitely be a repeat for me.

    So I have to say I have been to Redhook a few times recently and have really enjoyed myself. There is just one thing that really annoyed me about Redhook. Let me start my Rant. We decided last minute to go to one of the Outdoor Movies. Top Gun was playing so it promised to be a great show. That was pretty much where the good experience ended. Firstly, we called the Brewery ahead of time and specifically asked if we were allowed to bring our own snacks with us. The person on the phone told us we absolutely could bring our own food. We were meting others there so we brought some snacks for our friends also only to be turned away by security at the entrance and told that we could either eat the food right there, Toss it in the Garbage or bring it back to our car. Given we had spent $40+ on snacks they were now back in our baking hot car spoiling while we watched the movie. Secondly, Redhook have been running outdoor movies for a while now but the organization that goes into the event is very shoddy. Two counters that sell beer means an extremely long wait if you want to have a beer. We lined up for over 20 minutes to get our first beer and the lines only got longer as the evening wore on. The lines were so long that people were lining up to get a beer and then when they got served were walking to the back of the line straight away and getting back in line to get another beer so they would have one when the movie started. Thirdly, The food situation was ridiculous. They don't allow you to bring your own food because they sell food there. What the majority of people didn't realize was that after you line up to order your food you then have to go and stand in another line to collect your food so you can line up for half an hour to order your food and then have to get back in line and wait another half an hour to collect your food. Nobody at the Food counter checks if you have actually paid so anybody could line up in the Collection line and tell the people at the top that they ordered Food and get it for free. The only Good experience that I had at the outdoor movie was the movie itself which thankfully Redhook were not involved in producing or I fear it would have had the same fate as the extremely shoddy Organization and Logistics involved in what really could be a great event.

    The beer and food are fine. We also went on the tour which isn't a lot of walking around the brewery, but does have some good history and beer tasting. Plus you get glasses! But beware in the clothing shop. We bought a mens XL tshirt (picked out from the back by an employee) and it has a 34 inch chest. In what universe is that XL?? Can't return cuz we were just visiting. Update: Redhook contacted me and fixed the T-shirt situation so yay!

    I recently had some relatives visiting from out of town and one really liked beer and one really liked wine so off we went to Woodinville! The first stop on our alcohol tour was Redhook. My sister and her boyfriend had gone before and they really liked it so I thought I'd give it a try even though I'm not much of a beer gal. My relatives and I got there a little before noon for their first tour of the day. There seemed to be some confusion as to who was supposed to lead the tour that morning so we stood around for a bit waiting for them to figure it out. Once they figured it out, we paid our $1 and up the stairs we went. Our tour guide was a really tall and really cute guy and unfortunately his name escapes me at the moment. He had a lot of enthusiasm and it was clear that he enjoyed a good pint of beer every now and then. I would call the tour more of a beer tasting than an actual "tour". We spent most of the time in the room and looked through windows as we learned the history of Redhook. I think there were 4 or 5 samples of beer with a refill of your favorite at the end. If I had to choose one that I liked best, it would have to be the Wit. The experience was fun and I would definitely do it again. I'm still not a beer girl but I did finish all my samples and I didn't have to spit any of it out into the "bucket of shame".

    This place is a joke. The food is terrible, the beer is Ok and the pricing is absurd. My wife and I stopped here while on a bike ride on the Burke and we were hungry and most of all thirsty. We were on a lunch budget so we decided to split a burger. This burger came out looking like it took a trip to Fargo, went through a wood chipper then flew back in the cargo section. And the topper, like 10 fries. Seriously I counted. So since we were sharing I asked for more fries and that incurred a $7 charge. For fries. $7. The pitchers of lame beer were $17 and the burg was $14. I would head over to the Hollywood Tavern down the street for not only better beer but better pricing and better food. This is an OK brewery and a terrible restaurant.

    A brewery with delicious beer and a restaurant with a unique food menu? Sign me up! The Red Hook Brewery was a great experience, though we were unable to take the tour because we arrived late. The beer menu was colorfully worded with great descriptions and made it hard to choose which beer to get, but thankfully they offer a sampler! A flight of 6 fresh beers including the seasonal left me happy with the experience (and not due to inebriation). I will be searching for more beers by Redhook when I get home.

    I feel that I am somewhat of a brewery tour snob, this one was pretty good... lots of little facts along the way- great tasting opportunities. The brewpub was awesome. Sure it was just a large bar offering mostly their own beers, but the atmosphere was great and prices were CHEAP. I pounded down a few beers as if I was a drunken frat boy and made friends with some of the locals. Good time while in town for the weekend. I would come back!

    Red Hook has been on the decline. A little history, from my perspective. I enjoyed Red Hook a few years back, before they got bought out by Budweiser. I've noticed a significant drop in the quality of their beer, which is unfortunate. Pyramid and Red Hook once dominated the Seattle beer market, but they have both sacrificed quality for profits. Unfortunately, there isn't much of a better option in Woodinville. They charge full price, so you might as well look for other bars in the area (try Purple Cafe). The food I'd give more of a 1-star. Each burger is priced around $17 (after tax/tip) but to be honest, I could make a better burger on my personal BBQ (and I suck at cooking). The burger patty was small, the fries were burnt, the toppings were plain. Nothing about the burger screamed "restaurant quality." I won't be ordering food here again. The ONE redeeming factor about this place is its convenient location next to the Burke Gilman. It's a nice destination for bikers riding up from Seattle. However, prepare to be disappointed once you get your food.

    THE TOUR (only). So we read the reviews before we went, and yet, we still went. THE RUNDOWN. + starting with the positives. The tour is only $1, which is a fantastic deal. The guy running our tour had amazing energy. The souvenir cup was a nice bonus. The tour group size was actually not too bad - not too big (which I was afraid of) The "yeast" stuffed animal was cute (but dirty) - now for the negatives The tour was super lame. You climb the stairs to a platform that barely overlooks anything, and the room itself was pretty small too. Lame. The beers that were offered were actually not all inclusive of all of their beers.And coincidentally did not include any of the beers that I was SUPER hoping to try. It's actually only 5 beers, and you get a refill of the one you liked. The tour guide actually didn't know what he was talking about some of the time... but he was confident (sounding) so kudos for him. Next time: do better research on the German "Beer Purity Law" (Reinheitsgebot). I'll even help you out: germanbeerinstitute.com/… = an overview. I might come back, probably when it's not hot out... those runners that fill up the group sure do get ripe. It's in a beautiful area, and if we go for the beer on the tour, and not the tour itself, we will probably end it much happier.

    Redhook is A-OK in my book. It's not going to win any culinary prizes or even prizes for customer service. However, It's a great place to ride your bike to (just a quick hop off the Samammish River Trail) and enjoy some pretty tasty food and drinks. The beer / cider aren't always frosty cold which can be a total bummer - but the food is mostly consistent. I am a big fan of the quesidilla, the pretzel (cheese sauce - yum, yum), and the Yard Bird. The burgers leave a smidge to be desired. Pretty sure they're pre-frozen patties. Whenever I've ordered one - the burger comes out dry & over-cooked. The service is better outside than in. Just a note - the gals who work the host stands aren't always the friendliest... but the outside servers make up for it.

    [FOOD]: We ordered the smoked pork plate, nachos, wings, pretzel, and house salad (not all for me, of course!). Their smoked pork plate comes with corn bread and choice of two sides (go for the fries and BBQ beans!). The overall portion was huge and came with a ton of pork. The pork was very flavorful but was pretty greasy and expensive (~$13). The nachos was HUGE and came with a ton of cheeses, guac, salsa, olives, jalapenos, and chicken. Easily enough to share among 4-8 people and was overall a great deal. The wings were pretty pricey (~$12) because you only get around 10 wings and have a choice between buffalo and BBQ. We went with the BBQ because it was lathered in Red Hook's house BBQ sauce. The pretzel is surprisingly the best pretzel I have ever had and comes with a great mustard and hot cheese sauce. It's easily shared between two people and is a little pricey but the quality is well worth it (~$6). The house salad was forgettable and overpriced at $9. It just came with a few walnuts and some sauteed onions. [DRINKS]: This is a famous brewery, so of course their brews are spot on. They have nightly specials so I will definitely check that out once I come back (accessible on their website). The beer sampler lets you try 5 of their beers for $7, and pints run from $4-6. I had their darkest beer, the Blackhook, and one of their seasonal pale ales called the Gamechanger. Gamechanger was a little smoother and tasted better w/ the food because the Blackhook was naturally a little more bitter. [SERVICE]: Awesome service! We came for the Seahawks playoff game so it was packed and we were sitting at our table for a good 4.5 hours. They regularly check up on you and fill your waters, clear your dishes, and ask you if you need anything. They also do not pressure you to order anything which was refreshing to see. Highly recommend watching a big game at Red Hook! [ATMOSPHERE]: Great for intimate dinners, stopping by for a bite after a bike ride on the Sammamish River Trail, corporate parties, or getting "brewskis with the broskies" (BWB). They have T.Vs set up throughout the restaurant so you always have a great view. The main dining room, however, could use a couple more because there's only a small plasma there right now. There is plenty of indoor and outdoor seating, and the restaurant has a great alehouse feel to it. [[TIPS]: Order the sampler if you have no idea what beers to order. Order a half order of the nachos if you're a party of 2. Get here early if you want a table during game days. Take advantage of nightly beer specials.

    We've been here before just for the beer...which is, by the way, pretty good. However, this time we rode the Burke-Gilman trail to the brewery and were a bit thirsty and hungry. Without saying, the beer was spot on for the hot summer day. The food was a different story. I shared a bratwurst and the house green with my friend. The brat didn't have much flavor to it, the fries were at room temp, and the salad was just ok. Luckily, I was able to bum some of my hubby's turkey leg. That initially was my first choice, but I thought it would be to large and heavy for the ride back. But the turkey leg was moist and juicy! Next time we'll have to do the tour, but some in our group was in a rush to get back...

    Great tour and sampling selection. The guide keeps it interesting and offers another round of samples every 5-10 minutes. At the time I went, the tour was only $1 per person. It looks like they've changed it to charging $5 now. Food there is alright, your typical selection of burgers, fries, and nachos.

  • Heather K.

    I do not like the remodel. It feels cold & rushed where it was once intimate & warm. The wait staff was hustling & no one took the time to feel personal. The food has always been "meh". The beer is OK. There are better breweries & eateries in the Seattle area but for Woodinville - it's great (even though Woodinville has some AMAZING breweries... Dirty Bucket anyone?) The best parts: the grounds are AMAZING and the outdoor seating is lovely. The ropes course looked like a lot of fun! Also, the $1 tour is so fun. It's a great thing to do with a group. You get to try a lot of beer & learn alot about beer, brewing & the company.

    Bicycle here from Redmond two or three times every summer for beer and light food. Today went with my wife and daughter. AMBIANCE: 3.5. Great to sit on the patio on a summer day and have a beer. I do miss the music; it seems like the recent remodel removed the outdoor speakers. BEER: 4.0. The Citra and Czech Pilsner were refreshing after biking. FOOD: 2.5. Nothing special, but decent with beer. My daughter had a $2 glass of apple juice that tasted like water. SERVICE: 2.5. Consistently a 2.5 to a 3.0.

    A cool space to grab lunch or dinner when touring around Woodinville. The food is pretty standard but the beer is great. The brewery tour, while not much of a tour, is a blast (and a great value - $5 gets you a souvenir glass and six pours of beer!). I've been dozens of times and it hasn't ceased to be fun. The tour guides are hilarious yet informative...and there is plenty of beer to taste. This tour is one of my favorite thing to do when I have visitors in town. In the summer, many people ride bicycles to Red Hook along the Burke Gilman Trail or stop by for the Thursday movies on the lawn. Definitely worth checking out!

  • Paul N.

    Great food in the pub. The only downside is it gets crowded....and the crowd there is just gross. You have a bunch of sweaty bikers coming off the trail in their silly little spandex costumes....I'm sorry, I don't want to be eating food while seeing the perfectly outlined shape of some guys dong in garishly colored spandex. For some reason....that makes my appetite vanish. That said, the Brewery has many other charms...such as the insane tour, there is the movies on the grass in the summer, there is the challenge course.....and let's not forget.....the best beer around!

    Redhook beer, not my favorite.... HOWEVER, their beer tour... AWESOMENESS!!! Pay $1... yes, I said ONE DOLLAR..... and you get about 6 samples... decent sized cups (maybe a half a pint's worth!) And I can't forget, they let you keep the souvenir glass after the tour! It even says RedHook and has their logo! SWEET!! The gal that led the tour was a hoot. Great energy, lots of fun! Between the teachings, she cranked up the tunes and it felt like a party! The tour probably lasted an hour. I had a great time.... I will definitely do that again!!

    Driving/Direction: There is no clear sign on the road. Once you make the correct turn, there are "Redhook" signs everywhere. I was driving WB on NE 145th St. When Google Maps alerted me that "your destination is on your right," I was already at Columbia Winery. I kept on driving and turning into Woodinville Redmond Road NE. There are several venues on that road but none appear to look like Redhook. I had to call for directions from my friend and realized that I should have turned at the earlier roundabout. If you are driving WB on NE 145th Street, it should be the "entrance" right before Columbia Winery. It seems like I am the only yelper who cannot find this place. I had to park at a random facility nearby and went on the Redhook yelp page. I looked through the reviews and didn't see anyone mentioning driving directions. Parking: Plenty of free parking. This area is much bigger than I have expected. Service: Service was interesting! I went inside and thought I was late. I saw a hostess station and made eye contacts with the hostess there. She didn't say anything to me, so I just kept on walking towards the bar area since I thought my friend was already there. Then I couldn't find my friend and had to come back out to meet with my friend. When I went back in for the second time with my friend, I saw a sign "Please Wait To Be Seated" and I said to myself oops! Again, the hostess said nothing, I had to ask for two seats at the bar. The hostess said it is open seating so just go ahead. After sitting down for several minutes, a bartender with red hair extension/highlight came over and offered drink and food menus. I have never tried beertails before I chose the summer harvest. My friend ordered a beer and quesadilla. There was a high school reunion when I was there so it was extra loud. The crowd was much older and they kept coming over to the bar area for tequila shots. There were several TVs playing sports channels. Venue/Food/Drinks: There is a large patio area that is nicely decorated. It appears to be family oriented but it is a little strange to me seeing small children running around at a brewery. Summer harvest was good but did not blow my mind. I finished my drink so that was a good sign whenever I try something new. About 15-20 minutes later, another bartender came and checked on us. I told her we got our drinks and the quesadilla is missing. She looked us and gave us a thumbs up. I was like okay not sure what that means. About 5 minutes after that, our bartender who has red extension/highlight and asked if we needed more drinks, I said well my friend is waiting on her quesadilla. She said "yeah where is it?" I thought she was joking but quickly realized she was asking a serious question, so I said "I don't know." She said she would go check the kitchen for us. She came back minutes later with the plate and said it was her fault because she forgot to bring out the dish. The dish was actually sitting in the kitchen for a really long time. She said sorry and she would take the $11 quesadilla off our bill. So we waited for about 45 minutes for a plate of quesadilla.That was a bit too ridiculous. Overall I liked the venue. I don't think I will try its food here if I come back for a second visit. I am very interested in its $1 beer tour.

    Decided to take my dad up here for the tour during his most recent visit to Seattle. We've done all the small Seattle brew tours and thought this one would give us a chance to show him a bit of the area outside of town... The brewery is right next door to a bunch of wineries - so next time we go I'll definitely plan on doing a full day and stopping at some of those as well. The place itself is nice - the staff were all super friendly. I can't comment on the tour though since the day we went they weren't doing the tours. They were doing free tasting instead in honor of WA Commissioner's Day or somesuch thing. In any case, we ended up using 3/6 of our tastes (6 tiny pours of potent beer is more than I could handle, apparently!) - walked around the small tasting room for a few and then bought some KCCO beer to go. Wasn't really impressed with that whole thing but I think I'll go back to try the restaurant and the actual tour since I hear it's worth it. Will say they were pouring the Ballard Bitter that day - that I hear you can no longer get anywhere but the brewery due to the high alcohol content. Both my dad and husband were huge fans of this one. Look for it when you go!

    Went on the tour and had a few drinks and an app at the bar. Had a great time. It was extremely busy when we visited - as it was a weekend and there was some sort of special event in the area, but we dealt with the crowds and even got a seat at the bar pretty easily although the wait elsewhere in the restaurant was 25-35 minutes. We had a beer before heading to the tour and one thing about this tour, it's very cheap, just $1. Awesome. I've been on a lot of beer tours, so I enjoyed the fact that this was not a walking tour. Our tour guide was hilarious and we got to drink five or six samples of beer and we got to keep the souvenir tasting glasses. As for the food, I can only speak to the nachos. We wanted something to snack on before we left, little did we know, they are enough to feed a large table as an app or possibly 2-3 people as an entree. They basically came out on a serving tray filled to the brim. Not a bad deal and tasted pretty good for nachos and had pretty much everything on it. The beer is great and loved the interior and patio.

    Redhood is the last stop of LivingSocial Adventure. I was very excited to try different beers and eat the popcorn. The tour guide was very entertaining and taught us a lot about Redhood history and its brewing selections. It's amazing how Redhood grew from a small place in Fremont (now, Theo Chocolate) to a big brewery in Woodinville. The smell in the brewing facility was really good. I am more like a light beer gal. However, I was impressed by their darker beer. I think I liked them all during the tour. The end of tour, each of us got a 5-oz beer tasting glass with Redhood symbol on. It's really cool. Like any other tasting tour places, Redhood has their own merchandise. There wasn't enough time to enjoy the food from their kitchen. But, there's a very cozy area by the fire place. There are a couple large flat screen TV. Redhood would be a nice place to watch sports and enjoy beer and food!

    Came to do the brewery tour, and did appetizers in the restaurant prior to the tour. The staff at the restaurant was friendly and helpful. We each did a flight of the popular Redhook beers. The tour cost $1. With this price, you received a small Redhook souvenir glass which you used to do tastings during the tour. This was all included for the $1 price of admission. Tour was held all in one upstairs room, with a bar on one side of it. There were windows that overlooked different parts of the facility from this 'tour room.' There was not much traveling through this brewery, as you would see on other craft brewery tours. Lots of good information about craft brewing and the Redhook facility.

    Somehow, I feel very wistful. Maybe I'm getting older. Redhook was one of the early micro brew beers I enjoyed in the early 90s, back in the early days of micro brew. Coming here felt a little like a homecoming. Although I haven't been drinking much Redhook lately, moving to Seattle from San Francisco, this had to be one of the surprises we found in Woodenville that I was most looking forward to. "Let's go to Redhook for a burger and beer." After all, don't they just go together? Flash forward to a burger that can ONLY be served medium well, because Redhook does not publish a WA state disclaimer on their menu, and well, I felt deflated. Sad. Worse, I ordered a chicken sandwich. Seriously! I know, I can't believe it either. Medium well ONLY? Nope. No can do. I was tempted to pull out a pen, and write the darned disclaimer myself. Worse, beer, burgers and no fries. None. Ummm, I can't be the first one to say this... Ever think your half hearted attempt to be healthy might be undermined by the burgers and beer you are serving? News flash: no one wants a salad with beer and a burger! Also, and this is what kills me, I didn't like the beer. Like a lot of things I loved in the 90's, times have changed. A considerable percentage of Redhook is now owned Anheuser-Busch, not exactly a craft beer king, and the beer (or my tastes have changed. I was surprised to find I only liked the IPA. Ouch. Redhook, I wanted to love you, or at least like you lots, but now I am just left with my memories.

    The tour was AWESOME - for $1 we got lots of free beer, and a little glass to take home. I especially liked the bottling room. The restaurant was a bit overpriced, and not amazing food. Had the california burger, it was alright. But, honestly the only main attraction is the beer. However, its a good place to go once you've got a nice post-tour buzz going! 5 stars for the tour 3 stars for the food

    This review is for the pub only: I liked it when I was there. The entrees were reasonably priced, it had a nice casual feel to the place. I went with my parents and their friends and everyone else ordered burgers and the pulled pork sandwiches. I ordered the beer battered mac and cheese because it sounded a little more interesting. I don't drink beer so I figured I should at least get the beer batter. It was good at the time. I took some home to my boyfriend and he tried it too. Here's the thing: my boyfriend has a stomach of steel. It was the only thing I had eaten that day before I started to get sick. Night of food poisoning = not my idea of a good time. I think it was just too rich and buttery for my super-weak stomach. :( I want to like this place more, but I can't give a place who gave me food poisoning more than two stars... Since I don't drink beer, I'd be open to coming here for the outdoor movies, but no more mac and cheese for me. :(

    I'm a big fan of breweries and live close to this one, so I try to make it to Redhook as often as I can. They have pretty good food and I delicious beers...duh! It has a lovely cabin-like feel to it, which fits right in to the Woodinville scenery. Service is pretty great! I love bringing my friends here & still need to take the tour :) PS Don't get the mac n' cheese...it's super bland. Do get the Salami & Cheese Plate...YUM

    The tour is cheap at only $1, the presentation is entertaining, and if you like beer, then you'll be pleased because they give you lots of it! The food is not that great. My husband had a boring burger with a sadly under-ripe tomato and a limp piece of lettuce. I had their uber bland mac and cheese. The service was understaffed. We had to flag down our waitress at least 3 times: when we were ready to order, when we were long due for the check, and again when we had our credit card ready. It was like she seated us and then forgot about us. Further case in point: our waters were never refilled. Boo! To round out a poor review, the restrooms were dirty. The dryer was out of order, the paper towel dispenser was broken and the garbages were overflowing. The only method of drying one's hands was a single spool of paper towels laying on the counter in a pool of water. What a classy scene!

    All I can say is simply AMAZING!! Firstly we arrived in bothell on a whim arriving from Vancouver, bc on a spontaneous "what are we going to do today" Saturday.. So set up a Hotwire hotel, and on this said hotel, we found out about the redhook brewery. Although a 15 minute drive, we sucked it up and went for it. Upon arrival, the place was PACKED. we were told there would be a 1.5 hour wait.. But with the cool atmosphere, cheap (and totally amazing) beer, and time in our favor we decided to wait. 10 minutes later after first ordering our beer from the bar for the wait (which by the way was so expediently served I don't think I even had time to say thank you before the beer arrived), the waitress came to us and said there is a table ready for us! Surprise! From that point forward.... Food was amazing, we shared a half thing of nachos, which were probably the best nachos ever... And the bacon and blue burger.. We couldn't even finish the nachos they were so big! We got such great service, atmosphere was so fun, and we even got a 6 pack to go.. Oh and thanks for the free bottle opener!!

    Brewery that has decent bar food, cheap tours, movies during the summer, and across from a winery? I am in! I have been here for all three and enjoyed my experience every time. I went for dinner once with a big group of friends - decent service and food - nothing exceptional, but what you would expect from a commercial brewery. The tour was informative - didn't go very far, but for $1 with 5 beer tastings and a 'collectors' glass....not too bad. Neither is the beer. I went to one of the outdoor movies this summer, which was super packed. I didn't try their food, but had some wine and beer - not that great, but what can you expect? I appreciated that they stopped serving alcohol in time for people to sober up before the end of the movie. Great place to take out of towners; I definitely will be back next summer for the movies!

    The beer is average at best, the food awful, and the female bartenders full of attitude. I am not surprised Budweiser owns 30%. The burger makes a McDonald's quarter pounder seem gourmet. The bartenders act like they don't want to be there, never check to see who just showed up or needs a refill. Management needs to wake up and not let the inmates run the asylum.

    Fun place! Been here a few times and sat both inside and out and its always busy here but that's what makes it fun. Location: Great! Feels like you are away from everything and yet not too far from the city. Atmosphere: Great! Always busy but not too crowded our loud. Outside patio is definitely the best seating. Beer: Great! I like the summer Wit beer they have. Food: Not going to lie the only thing I've had here is the Chicken Sandwich which is great and then the Pulled Pork Sandwich which was just okay (a little mushy). Location: Bad. Really bad. From the clueless high school hostesses to the lazy college girl waitresses. But I refuse to let the girls ruin my experiences there. The cooks/bartenders at least seem to be working their butts off. Overall: Will continue to go back here for a casual bit to eat and beers with friends!

    I did not go on the tour here, but it was a nice place to stop for dinner and a beer after doing a few wine tastings in the area. There was a bit of a wait, but the gift shop kept me occupied (they will send postcards for free anywhere in the US which I thought was cool). The beer was good--I think I got the summer seasonal? And the food was also good; typical brewery food- I got the California burger which had avocado and a surprisingly good amount of bacon. The staff was friendly and the food came out super quick. I just wish they served fries with the burgers instead of potato chips, but other than that, it was about what I would expect from a brewery dinner.

    The "dollar tour" is what it really costs, it is cheaper than buying a pint downstairs and you might learn something interesting about this brewery. The food downstairs is a 3-star affair but this is one of the nicest settings for a brewery. If your plans get rained out stop on by to grab a beer or two.

  • Jeff T.

    I've had the opportunity to eat at the Redhook Brewery twice on separate trips to the area, and on both occasions I took advantage of the tour, which is only $1 (and will likely give you a buzz). The food is decent, but a bit overpriced. I figure you are paying for the atmosphere and the fact that you are about to drink a lot of free beer during the tour (if you go that route). If you are not taking part of the tour, it's a decent dining experience. The tour is what makes it special, and takes about 30-45 minutes. During the tour you will have several opportunities to drink sample glasses of at least five kinds of beer - and get refills if you're swift and using a bit of charm. On both tours I've been on the tour guide injected plenty of humor and had a very generous heart when dispensing the beer. Once you are done with the tour, there is a small gift shop selling t-shirts, steins, and hats near the entrance. Some of the shirts are attractive and/or clever. I have one myself that I proudly wear in Austin.

    I've been to brewery tours in Bay Area, CA and Chicago too, but none compared to the tour at Red Hook... Why? First of all, it's $1 for 5+ beer tastings and the tasting glass (with the opportunity to win more tastings if you know the answers to stuff or if it's remotely near your birthday). some of my friends would go retour just to get more glasses! And you also get the history and scoup on some of the variety offered at red hook. Next, the tour guide was amazing! Our guide was Valerie and she was hilarious. My friends kept commenting on how amazing her delivery of jokes was. But the most awesome part was that I actually learned how beer is made! After every beer tour I've been on, I still leave super confused with all the terms and how they come together- hops, barley, yeast... even with all the drinking and the joking, I left understanding stuff. All this while encouraging you to drink more. She was great! And, we got our tasting glasses filled again before heading out of the tour. My friends and I sat down for lunch immediately after and had a nice lunch too at the forecasters pub, so we had something to go with our food too (granted some of us had to order more ;) and we felt smart about what to order and what we'd like! ). This is a great tour!

    This review is based on Redhook's SausageFest (on September 11, 2010) So my wife, two friends, and myself attended the Redhook SausageFest. We were all excited to have some beers and try a variety of different sausage vendors. We paid $5 in advance to get into the event but there weren't separate lines for people who bought their tickets in advance. Everyone had to wait in the same line to get in, then we had to wait about 20-25 minutes to buy $1 tokens (the only thing vendors would take for beer/food). After that we had to wait in one of only 2 lines for beer. They had two lines for beer. There were probably 100+ people in these lines. We arrived at 12:30 and by 2:00pm we were waiting in the 3rd line of the day and still without a beer. When we got to the front of the line the pours were probably 12-14 ounces and cost 4 tokens (ie $4). I asked how much pints of beer are at the redhook onsite pub and he said "$4". So Redhook - You suck at organizing events, and you are thieving douches as well. You charge people to attend an event, to make them wait in line, to overcharge them on beer. And for the record. Your beer sucks anyways (even the special "meathook" you brewed. Tasted like you just added liquid smoke to a batch of ESB. After buying a beer, we decided to sell off our tokens to people waiting in the token line and then went to the Black Raven brewery 4 miles away. The beer there was amazing and cheaper than the festival. I will never buy any Redhook products again nor visit their brewery.

    I can't believe Red Hook has 3 and a half stars! I loved loved loved this place. Even though Red hook is the reason why I HATE Hoppy beers. This brewery really changed my alcoholic life for good. It was super informative and the tour was just so big and interesting. I loved our guide (even though he offered free beer to whoever ate a hop...which I did and got deathly ill) We even had fries and appetizers in their restaurant and that was great. The brewery itself is absolutely beautiful. Not like other breweries that are extremely sober and industrial. Plus they only charge $1 for the cup they give you. dope. Ps. Sorry for puking in your parking lot.

    First review on Yelp, so bear with me. Trish (wife) and I visited Redhook with another couple while we were in Seattle last week and HAD A BLAST. Took the tour for a buck...yes a buck. Tour guide was a smart ass...shut down the chatty blonde quicker than I would have expected. He was hilarious, and made the tour a fun time. Filled with free beer to boot. Had the Icebock (sp) on draft as it was stored in Maker Mark barrels to age, and it was delicious. Too bad you can't buy it bottled...wait I did. Bought a growler of it...didn't last long. If you are in the area, and want a good time of beer and fun, check this place out.

    This was an awesome brewery tour. I have been on several tours and they always have you walk about 3 miles through everything to see how beer is made. I think by now I know how beer is made. At Red Hook you walk in, they give you beer. You stay in the same room and get the tour without having to complete a marathon. This is how it should be done.

  • Aaron E.

    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.

    In the words of the owner of St. Arnolds brewery in Houston: 'We perfer to drink beer WITH flavor!' Red Hook Ales were all indeed very flavorful, with tastes obvious made with care. The $1 tour - duh - great value to try 5 different current brews. As I've become a red wine drinker, I simply don't waste my time with drinking any mass produced beers. There's just too much good stuff to drink out there, and Red Hook would be in that group. When drinking beer, I tend towards smooth hoppy beers, and found Red Hook to deliver on both. The 'tour' was short in terms of distance walked and appropriately focused on trying the difference brews. Nice 5 oz. glass to take home, too. Yeah, we will be back...

  • Rachel P.

    I've been on the tour several times- it's great- 1$ for a tasting cup and 4 or 5 tasts- I was buzzed by the time I was done. The great tour guide is key! RJ has been the best- what a hottie!! The food is ok. Can get crowded on busy nights but that's ok if you are looking for a happening place. Service is ok. Again, the highlight is the tour- great date idea!! just don't go drinking too much after the tour!!

  • natalie n.

    My boyfriend treated me here because he had a coupon... ;) It seems like a pretty happening place. I work in the ID so I've been to Pyramid and Elysian during lunch, but I was somewhat happier with the food here. The space is also pretty cool with lots of outdoor seating and some live music. The nachos are awesome. They are also quite large for two people. But seriously awesome. Man, I want those nachos again! Decent food + good beer + once again, awesome nachos = happy summer date night :)

    I've always found this place to be a blast. Located in the wilds of darkest Woodinville, the surroundings are gorgeous, with lots of outdoor seating and a beautiful grounds to explore, with some sort of tree-framed vista around every corner. Most recently, we brought some out-of-town guests for the beer tour, which was, as some have noticed, not exactly an in-depth examination of the beer-making process at Redhook. The guide was loudmouthed, and funny in a glad-you-don't-know-him-in-real-life kind of way. The souvenir glasses were small, but the pours frequent enough that we all had a decent buzz by the end of it. The outdoor movies they do in summertime are a blast. I love Fremont Outdoor Cinema, but you can't beat the natural setting (not to mention the beer) at Redhook. Yelpers are being a little harsh on the restaurant portion. "Average sports bar food?" Nah. Come on guys, give 'em a little credit. I'm not gonna call it high cuisine, but fans of quality pub grub won't be disappointed. And of course, the real reason you're here -- beer -- is always fantastic, served ice cold, in a frosted glass, in all the seasonal varieties. There's also lots of outdoor heated seating, a major plus for me. In the negative column, the service has been a little slow at times, even being casual to the point of brusqueness occasionally. They also tend to close up shop pretty early (halting beer service at ten, I think), so plan accordingly. The location is a little remote for Seattlites, but if you don't mind a drive, it's kind of pleasantly out of the way.

    I'm a big fan of Forecaster's Pub - great bar food, good service, and a nice atmosphere. It's one of my favorite places to go in the summer, since they have a great outdoor eating area. They offer a lot of cool outdoor movie screenings on a large inflatable screen during the summer that are really fun as well. Plus, they accept the Prime card!

    Redhook has amazing beers!!! The $1.00 tour is a great place to bring friends who are visiting. The nachos are excellent!!!! (and if you feel like a little more fun after, you can stumble across the street to a winery).

    My feeling of redhook have gone through many phases since moving to Seattle. It was the first brewery in the area I was taken to, and started my journey down the rabbit hole that is Seattle beer goodness. So my first feelings were ones of joy, happiness, maybe even tipsy-ness. But then I drifted away. Their standard offerings (ESB, longhammer) are so-so. The food at Forecasters seems hit-or-miss, and the tour is really not much of a tour. But I did not stay away for long. The seasonals (primarily cooperhook, and now the delicious mudslinger) brought me back in good graces with hook. And if you can catch one of their limited releases at the brewery, go for it. Get two even. Their double stout they had for awhile was excellent. Then of course there are the summer movies. Classics, on a huge screen, under the stars, beer in hand, what more could you ask for? Alright maybe some not ridiculous parking, but hey, you cant always get what yuo want. So basically, I will go on with my sinusoidal redhook wanderings. Hopefully the food gets a bit more consistent.

    Nice patio for summer evening but last night pulled pork was so dry & tough, surprised it got plated up and served looking so unappetizing. Waitress offered exchange but too late to wait for dinner again.

  • Tommy S.

    Food is average, beer is average. Hours are misleading - supposedly they're open until 10pm, but we got there at 9:30 and the waitress seemed confused why we were there. She said it was last call, and if we wanted to order from the abridged menu, we only had a minute to put in our order. The ambiance is nice, but nothing really special other than beer by the pitcher.

  • Grace W.

    $1 to try 5 beers! Tour was really fun, fast paced, and filled with "more beer!" The food in the pub is actually really really good too. I got the California burger with bacon. IT's really good. I was sad I only got to eat half of it though because I found a hair that clearly wasn't mine. They comped it, no questions asked. The burger also comes with a couscous salad that I really liked. Salmon artichoke dip appetizer is delicious also. The black porter ice cream was really good, although I'm not sure if I tasted the beer in it. Definitely enjoy a meal in the outside deck if the weather's nice. Ok, I just made myself hungry! :) The only spotty thing was the service system. Our waiter was really nice and attentive (had to remind him a couple times for beers/utensils though). But when we asked any of the other waitresses that were standing around (if they even bothered to come over after our flag-waving), they just waited to tell our server.

  • Neal M.

    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.

  • A. W.

    What can I say...amazing burgers at their Pub. I don't even drink beer and I LOVE this place. Be warned, it gets quite crowded on the weekends and on Friday nights, particularly if the weather is good. Good for families, friends, old people, cyclists, all sorts of people (except vegetarians probably). They do beer tours for a dollar. You get a Redhook shot glass and to taste about 6 different beers. Get there early if you want to do the beer tour as it gets full super fast on the weekends.

  • Jake S.

    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.

    I'm not a big beer drinker, but my husband and friends who do like beer really enjoy coming here. They have several beers on tap and usually a seasonal brew or two. If I'm going to order a beer I usually go with the Slim Chance Light Ale--great for those like me who prefer a very pale beer with a light hops flavor. There is a fun tour of the brewery which allows those who are new to Redhook to sample their ales and you get a very cute tasting glass as a souvenir all for a $1! The best part of this brewery is the ambiance of the place! Redhook is set in the valley of Woodinville. There's a very natural feel to the place with the pretty scenery surrounding the brewery. Indoor seating is comfortable and plenty...on weekends there's usually a local band playing live music. In the warmer seasons they open up their large outdoor patio which is popular with those cycling or using the Sammamish River trail since they can pretty much just bike right up to the brewery!

  • Ken B.

    Take some time and do this one right. Take the tour for $1 and get a good start on your night. It's great fun, and you get to try several different beers. Then go down to the pub and get a pitcher of whatever your favorite beer was from the tour. Then eat the burger, drink a another pitcher, and talk with your friends about how you were going to go somewhere else but stayed for the beer, food, and fun atmosphere. Wake up the next morning and pretend you remember what happened the night before.

  • Branda A.

    I love Redhook! Great place to grab dinner and filler a growler with your favorite beer! The food is always good! It is your basic American food but it is well done. The atmosphere is great. A bit loud, but a true Seattle setting. On any given day you see 20 something hipsters, bikers fresh off the Burke-Gillman, families, and everyone in between. The staff is great and friendly. On a busy night it might be a bit slow, but you should be there to enjoy a good meal, great beer and great people.

  • Sam H.

    i actually had a day off with my friends and we drove to Woodinville all the way from T town just for this tour. And none of us were dissappointed. So 1 bone for a 5 oz glass x 6 rounds and you keep the glass and learn about the beer??? IT almost seems like a steal if you ask me??? Well I guess that's why they make the trip worth while for any out of towners checking out the beer tours. especially if forgot to eat lunch... then it hits you like 6 pack. The hostess is exceptionally entertaining and does a great job enticing you with beer and whiskey. Drinks that started out in ballard that now moved to wine country? Gotta love this place!!!

  • Kristen B.

    Mediocre is the nicest word I can come up with for Redhook. There is nothing here that the Pyramid Brewery doesn't do better. The food is bleh- and takes forever to come out. My party and I waited 45 minutes for cold food to arrive (food that should have been warm, except for one salad). The service was not only slow, but unattentive. I sipped my drink as slowly as possible because I knew I would likely never get a refill on it. Plus, the servers aren't what I would call the friendliest bunch... they all kind of have this air like they would way rather be somewhere else. Well guess what, mostly blonde female waitstaff, so would I! :/ Add in to the mix that the place is packed with tipsy parents who are unable to properly monitor their children and you basically get one of Dante's circles of Hell. Oh, and what's up with being a bewery and not offering fries? Really, guys? Ugh. Just, ugh. Never again. I gave Redhook two tries... I don't have a third in me. People must come for the beer, because I really don't get why this place is so popular. From what I hear, the beer isn't bad, and the beer sampler is a bit fun- I give this place 2 stars only because I trust my beer-drinking people who say it's decent brew. If it were me, though, I'd just drink at home and save the disappointment (and time, and money).

    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.

    GOOD BEER! Bad services from the one middle aged waitress in the bar. Good services from everyone else. Average to subpar food is way overpriced. Dont make the mistake of going here to watch anything but a soccer game. I wanted to watch the mariner game. I asked my waitress in the bar if one of the TVs could be changed. With a fairly rude attitude I was told NO, the TVs were on those channels for a reason. 5-10 minutes later the womens softball game was changed to a 30 minute sounders pregame show. After being seated at a table our new waitress was more than happy to ask about changing one of the several TVs to a mariner game, and we were able to catch the ending. Then I paid $12 for a sandwich that was cold when I got it 30 minutes later.

    Love the beer here but what's with the remodel. I come here for Micro Mondays and lately they've been turning us away because of this damn remodel. Well it happened again yesterday (Monday) after a one hour drive, only to be turned away again with NO update to their website to tell us what's going on. I'm very disappointed in YOU Redhook!!!!

    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.

  • Anna W.

    Red Hook's beer was one of the reasons I was excited to go here. Copper Hook is not just one of my favourite seasonals and a reason to look forward to spring, but it's hands down one of my favourite beers, period. That said, good beer was what I got. The food and service, however, left a whole lot to be desired. It took a long time to actually flag someone down to take the order. The menu was very limited as it is, and foregoing burgers, I decided to go with The Hammer. After another wait, I was served with a hamburger, and after waiting MORE for the sandwich that I actually ordered, I received ham sandwich that I -- literally -- could've made myself in 5 minutes (we're talking grocery store bread and ham that could've come out of tupperware), only slathered with two or three times the mayo I could tolerate. Kudos on the interesting side of chips and grapes, but I was pretty appalled to be getting this "entree" for nearly $9. I admittedly haven't tried the desserts, but as far as I'm concerned, come here only for the tour.

  • David W.

    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.

  • Jason C.

    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.

    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!

    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.

  • Tracy S.

    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.

  • Rowena M.

    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 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.

  • Laura L.

    This place is great in the spring time. The menu is limited food wise but the beer is yummy. Great ambiance but would be nice if the bar was bigger. Its often a wait for a seat at the bar as its fairly limited as it is. Overall its a great place to spend an afternoon.

    As a first year mug club member ($40 = my own mug, and 2.75 beers at all times) I have very few complaints about my favorite brewery. Having said that-can we get some new menu items? The clams could use some work, and the potato salad side served with all the Sandwiches, please please offer something new soon! My favorite beer the Stout on nitro may be going out of stock soon, so membership for 2011 may not be in the works. If you are hungry the meatloaf is grand, if you need a dessert the beer float or the sundae is the way to go. Amended 2014 - remodeled and worse than ever. We've given the new and improved -"now with a fryer!" Redhook several tries since their recent overhaul. The service is terrible. And if you get sat in the "tent" on cold winter night prepare yourself for cold food, cold room, and cold service. After advising that the propane heater was no longer pumping in hot air not once but 3 times they finally replaced it. Mind you we were sitting next to the area where the air was blowing in at 40 degrees or less. I've given up on this tourist trap I used to love. I'd rather hit the Dirty Bucket and eat at a drive through. Epic fail Redhook. Epic.

    It's fun to stop in for a beer or two and grab an appetizer like the artichoke dip or maybe even a burger but don't go here just for the food or you will be dissappointed. It's a typical brewery restuarant - the beer is always WAY better then the food.

    I was really surprised to see the restaurant so full on a Monday evening. We went too late to catch a tour, so we just went for happy hour (from 5-9 p.m.). We had heard about the $1 tours that include a lot of beer tasting and a free souvenir tasting glass, so we were bummed not to partake in the fun. But our waitress snuck us tasting glasses for free (the same ones that are given away on the tour--and that are on sale in the gift shop for $2). I don't get out much for happy hours, but the friends I was with were raving about how huge the portions were here (compared with other place) and how great the deals were. The pints of beer were $2.50 (as opposed to $3.50), and the jugs of beer were $8 (instead of $10). Four of the appetizer dishes were half off--bruschetta, salmon and artichoke dip/chips, nachos (HUGE portions--four of us couldn't even finish it!), and something else I can't remember. We ordered the three that I listed, plus a full-size cobb salad--and four of us couldn't even finish them all. All the dishes we got were good, so I'd recommend them. The waitress said even the small cobb salad is good for at least 2 people. My husband got the tortilla soup and wasn't happy with it--it looked more like chowder and didn't even have any chips in it. The area is beautiful--very peaceful, like you're out in the middle of nowhere. We walked around the trails in the back of the restaurant after the meal, and ended up walking around Columbia Winery nearby, too. The place is a little out of the way from downtown Seattle, but well worth the drive if you stay out for a few hours and just want to have a relaxing time.

    Deserts were OK. Beer is great. Music was too loud (these aren't famous rock bands that we would pay to see, therefore the should understand that my conversation is more important than the music.)

    I LOVE it here! Great beer, great food, awesome views and lovely atmosphere!

    Food is brewery quality. They don't have a fryer so be prepared for potato chips as a side. The tour is one of the best I've been on; very laid back with an emphasis on more drinking. Always a go to spot when friends are in from out of town!

    Nice location. Awesome beer. Spotty service. Inconsistent food that's *really* overpriced. Often shockingly crowded. Fun trivia night on Tuesdays, but you better get there *early*.

    i think based on a dining experience I would rate Redhook with 2 stars; however, I have thrown in another star for their tour (which if I rated Redhook solely on the tour I would give 4 stars)...so are my stars adding up? I don't know, but my ears are still ringing from the 80+ decible level from last night. The beer: The beer IS good. Their selection is not as impressive as other breweries which miffs me a little...but oh well- The food: Par. I'm disappointed they don't have a fryer- because fish and chips is a must and the Tim's Cascades just don't cut it as a side to a burger. The BBQ chicken burger was okay- but nothing to flip over. The staff: WAY overworked. They could have used two more servers...perhaps those two servers called in sick because it was a nice day- I don' t know, but my server was busting her hump...and didn't look like she was having a very good time. The hostesses were kind of snobby too- which kind of put me off, because I was like hey, this is Redhook- not the Met. The noise: WHAT? Will definately be in your conversation the entire night. The tour: worth it- beer samples and a complimentary 2 oz redhook glass all for a low, low price

    Get there before 6:30 on Tuesdays as trivia packs out the joint. Trivia used to be much better but is now very hit or miss. The $1 tour is the best deal in the area and some tourguides will give ya a bit extra. Tours are often sold out on the weekends, so get there a little early to procure tix in time.

  • Mona M.

    We love this place. Take the $1 tour, it's fun, hardly any walking, and lots of beer tasting. The food is good and the restaraunt atmosphere is laid back. The ONLY complaint I have is that they serve burgers but no fries. The last time we were there, I looked closely and didn't see anything fried on the menu. I guess that's a good thing....right? Not only do we visit this place often, we invest in Redhook stock. That's how much we love this place. Oh and the flank steak salad might be the best salad I've ever had. EVER!!

  • Andrea S.

    The outdoor deck is the perfect place to soak up some sun with tasty food and drink. Our table ordered the nachos as an appetizer and they were amazing, as was my portabello mushroom sandwich. Grilled to perfection with a nice sauce and Ceasar salad on the side--yum! Everyone else liked their food too--not one complaint, and the service was decent despite being pretty busy. One star docked for being a tad pricey for bar fare.

  • Stacie K.

    I'm not a drinker, so I cannot comment on the beer. We ordered appetizers. The sausage platter was delish. The edamame was delish. The warm, soft pretzel with beer cheese was awesome. I ordered a fajita-mistake. Terrible actually. Everyone else enjoyed what they ordered; a turkey sandwich, and a pulled pork sandwich. I was scared to order anything else, so I ordered another pretzel. The waitress was excellent and attentive.

  • Randi L.

    One of my most favorite places (obviously.. as of today, I'm the "duchess"). :) I really enjoy the events Redhook hosts (Sausagefest, beer release parties, trivia, etc) so it makes it VERY easy to make this a place I frequent. The beer tour is super fun (and educational) and for only $1, it's a great way to get a pre-func going for one of their events. Kegs and growlers are available for sale, and if you're a mub-club member, you get 10% off. I also appreciate that at the beer release parties they have discounted cases of beer for sale and plenty of Redhook garb to go with your booze. A+++++ Redhook!!

  • Doug C.

    It's sort of funny, I don't really think of this place as a brewery. I've been here for concerts, private events and road races but I've never come here just for the beer experience. Not that Redhook beers are all that bad (Winterhook is probably my favorite), it's just that I'm not sure it justifies a special trip to the hinterlands of Woodinville for what you can find at your local bar (or grocery store). But don't get me wrong. The grounds here are nice and the parking situation isn't too bad. For events there's a dirt parking lot where extra cars can fit in and they have easy-access paths that lead back to the brewery. It's a great location for an outdoor concert in the summertime and even the restaurant is pretty nice: it's sort of a dark interior with a nice patio that looks out on the back of the brewery. The burgers here are pretty basic, although I do rather like the large fries that they have here. The food isn't really the reason to come here, but it's a pretty good deal when they have an outdoor concert and you can wander into the pub for meals in-between acts (or during a bad one).

    I came here with my friend Amanda for the $1.00 brewery tour. It was one of the best dollars spent in my life. We stuck around afterwards for some app's too and we had an all around good time. ++/- Beer Tasting: Brewery Tour, Beer Tasting, whatever you want to call it was a thoroughly entertaining and informative experience. For $1.00 we got to try several beers, learn how each is made by a very entertaining gentleman and got a small souvenir glass. I am the type to enjoy learning and I am also the type that likes to enjoy good microbrews so to lump the two together was really enjoyable. The only reason I might have reservations about giving 3 +'s is the fact that the signups can fill up rather quickly. + Location: The brewery is in Woodinville right next to a bunch of wineries which in a way is kind of an odd spot but the Burke-Gilman trail runs right next to the place. I foresee a biking trip down the trail ending with a nice cold pint and some food one of these days... Also, I think it has plenty of space for seating to accommodate the many guests that come so seating should never be too much of an issue. + Food: The food was pretty good and at decent prices. I loved their guacamole, it was super tasty. I just wished there was a little more on their menu or more original dishes otherwise I would probably rate them higher. Overall, I would definitely recommend people at least try it out. It can be a really fun and cheap experience. I would just be a little weary of trying to do the beer tasting before hitting the trail. Drinking and exercise don't mix (I have learned the hard way :S)

    The Reasons I Love Redhook 1. Best outdoor patio ever 2. Great Food 3. One of my favorite microbrews 4. Live bands on the weekend nights with no cover charge 5. Brewery tours for 1 dollar 6. 12 packs of beer close to pull date will go on sale as low as buy 1 get one free 7. Only place I go if I need a keg for a party 8. Cozy fireplace with couches 9. Cool people I have been going to Redhook for years. Its along the Samamish Trail so a perfect place to ride your bike to. It can be very busy on weekends and may take a while to get a table and beer.

  • Shirley Y.

    Ladies and gents... dig into your crusty couch for change... dip into your stripper jar... and head on over to Redhook Ale Brewery with exactly $1.00 $1.00 is all you need to get buzzed. You walk away with a thorough history of beer-making, a souvenir Redhook sampler glass, and of course 5 pours of beer to fill your new shiny glass! Redhook is worth the stop if you're wine tasting in Woodinville, especially if you have partners in crime who are more privy to beer than wine.

  • David W.

    The food here is terrible, and service can be slow. How hard is it to cook sausages for pete's sake? Outdoor seating is fun. The food is downright disappointing. At least they have beer!

    We rode our bikes from Bothell Landing via the Sammamish River trail here. After sweating it out, we though we deserved a little beer for our adventures. Surprisingly, there seemed to be a lot of people here, but there were a few tables open, and it doesn't seem like there's a bad table in the house. It's pretty casual, and loud, but people are just enjoying the atmosphere and a lot of them were going on this infamous $1 beer tour. We skipped that, fearing not enough daylight to get back, but we did the taster's menu; I got a kick out the placemats, as they were informative about the beer you're going to consume. The service wasn't that great, but sufficient for what we needed. Hell, it was only nachos and beer. This was a nice way to spend a drizzly Saturday afternoon; Red Hook was there just in time to save us from a heavier downpour!

  • S S.

    As far as the $1 beer tour goes, it's really not so much a tour as it is an informative beer tasting. You get a small tasting glass that is yours to keep, 5 types of beer to try, some laughs, and a 6th glass-full of your favorite type. I was a little disappointed that there wasn't more walking involved. Although, I suppose with all the beer they give out, they don't want any liability. ;) And for $1, I guess I shouldn't complain! The food is mediocre for the price. Overall, the tour is worth it and the atmosphere is great.

  • Javier J.

    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.

    I had a great bike ride today from Mukilteo to Redmond. I worked up an appetite and wanted to enjoy a burger and soak in some sunshine on the patio of Redhook. Immediately, I was disappointed by this establishment's lack of customer service! You would think that a beer brewery would have some friendly, cool,and laid back employees. Management needs to have a group huddle and remind staff that SERVICE IS NUMERO UNO!! Enjoy your ride and don't stop by this brewery!!

    So much fun! Took the tour. I've been on it a few times and every time it's fun! Had dinner after the tour, had the bbq burger and it was amazzzziinnnggggg! Also split the brownie with ice cream. Oh, man. SO good!! It was huge, I recomm sharing.

  • James B.

    Their food isn't bad, but also not something to write home about. Also better order a salad with your entree cause the portions are very small. Their beer is good but it's like the Starbucks of beer, very generic and not a lot of new beers other then their seasonal ales.

  • Sherry L.

    For 5 bucks you get an hour-long tour and 5 flights of various Red Hook brews. It's a good deal if you like beer and don't mind a cheeky tour guide (mine was like that, maybe others are better). The production facility where the tour takes place is pretty small, so it's not much to see. I'd much rather tour a wine cellar... There's a large bar/restaurant that serves a variety of food, Red Hook beers (of course), and has tvs. Great for a hangout for a group of people. Outside area is pretty nice. At least a 20-30 minute wait on weekends.

  • Lindsay M.

    This place has really good food and brews. I've been here a few times and have had the nachos, fried cheese curds and their burgers. All very good-hot and fresh every time and nothing but great service. The music can be a little loud at times but is tolerable for yummy food.

  • Brianna G.

    Went on the Red Hook tour this afternoon. I would highly recommend doing this tour. It's only $5 and you get to try 5 beers PLUS take a Red Hook glass home! The tour guides are always comical and its a good time. I would recommend going during the week because you get to see the bottling process. Service at the restaurant was okay.

    I used to come here a lot but have not been back in 3 years. Today I came with a few friends and we had a blast. They has remodeled this place and is look so different. This place is always packed as I remember and today is no different. The food menu is different and delicious. The IPA was hands down my favorite.

  • Curtis L.

    This place has a great atmosphere about it. I loved the subtle exterior and lodge interior (the indoor picnic benches were a very cool touch). They play into a sports brewery theme with TVs hanging around the restaurant. The brewery is nestled in the heart of Woodinville's wine country and is a must stop for those thirsting for a cold one. The beer was good. I'm used to drinking Redhook by the bottle, so it was a pleasant change to have a tapped brew. I was impressed by their extensive beer list and may even try their gluten-free beer next time around...or at the very least ask how it's made. I can't wait to come back--the next time I plan my visit, I'll be making sure that I come in time for the $5 brewery tour. I appreciate the well trained wait staff--quick, attentive, and knowledgeable of the beer list. The food was brought to our table quickly and had good flavor for bar food. I ordered a plate of chicken wings and a BBQ mashup...links, pulled pork, and ribs. My S.O. ordered a wrap. Both were good choices, but in the end the beer outshines the food. I highly recommend visiting the brewery for food and an ice cold brew. They also have happy hour!

  • Shawn S.

    Overall I was very underwhelmed by Woodinville. Redhook was a decent stop by but weird that is was one of the better stops. The beers are very good - servers friendly - parking lot ginormous - and the food was OK. We did not do the tour because we were pressed for time. The flight option was great - if the food had been better it would have been more enjoyable. It was just too touristy for us - vs other brewhouses we have visited.

  • Priya C.

    Went on the tour which was pretty interesting, came with 5 very generous tastes, a pint class to take home, and a comedian for a tour guide (he was beyond hilarious). Definitely 5 stars for this portion of the evening. However, went down for food and more beer afterwards and wasn't all that impressed by the food, very generic and not very flavorful. Wish they would do a better job of pairing food items with their beer. Sweet potato fries were awesome though.

  • Elizabeth T.

    I love good beer but this is not good beer. Everything tastes so watered down. Besides the fact that the waitresses are really rude and inconsiderate. I came here and asked if they can get a table for ten people ready. She said: "You're not going to get one." I was thrown back by that remark. I inquired a little more. She finally found her sense of common courtesy to politely explain to me that they have lots of reservations and cannot accommodate a large party. I asked if I can look at the bar for some seats. She said and gestured to a general area near the bar: "Bar is over there. Anything with a table top." Parked my butt here. Ordered a beer and waited for my friends who love this place for reasons I will NEVER understand. (This local brewery is owned by Anheuser Busch. The same people who make the watered down Bud Light, the poor man's cheap "beer.") I saw some people sitting down near a booth by what I thought was the bar area. Asked another waitress if that area was part of the bar. She said: "No, you're not even in the bar. The bar is at the counter. Not these table tops." Confused and aggravated, I wonder why we come here. Each time we have gone here, it has been terrible service. Beyond bitchy waitresses. Slow food service with overpriced watered down beer. Not a Woodinville gem as people tell you.

    I stopped by the brewery on a sunny day while I was on a bike ride. It was really busy but service was still good and food was great. I sat up at the bar, but there was the option to wait only 10 mins for a table. Also the option to grab a drink and go outside in the patio. Fun place with great food and tasty beers!

    Nestled among wineries and lush fields of green sits Redhook. Unassuming. Freshly remodeled. Ready to serve the masses. The food can be a bit on the pricey side, BUT, the food supports the price tag. I ordered the smoked turkey leg and cider for lunch. I ordered a double side of slaw to avoid the starchy "other" options that I had to accompany my meat. The turkey leg portion was spot on, actually I should say hefty. The turkey being a bit dry, I sandwiched pieces of turkey with slaw in the middle. Yum. The slaw was creamy and fresh and my two sides of it ensured I had plenty left over. My cider was delicious, not overly sweet or dry. Just perfect for a sunny afternoon while enjoying a sun drenched lunch on the patio. While I've returned since then, and found that they were out of cider.... boo.... i would definitely return!

  • Trudy G.

    Best value beer tour. It is a small operation but hour long tour with 5 different beer tastings and a glass. All for $5. After the tour we had another beer and some food in the restaurant. I recommend the pretzel. The cheese was not too thick and the mustard was very traditional pub style. A fantastic afternoon all the way around.

    Long wait! Mediocre food! No deep fryer! For the love of Pete, I don't get the attraction. Every time i go, the wait is about 40 minutes, the food is average and expensive for what you get( the veggie burgers are straight out of costco). No fries! I repeat. No fries. The beer is good.

    I've been here 4 times now for tours because I find it's a great spot to bring people from out of town, especially if your visitors are beer-lovers. They give you a ton of wine for the price of the tour. The first three I went on a little over a year ago and they were all $1 tastings with a free tasting glass. Now they've raised the price to $5, which I got a little nervous about, but the tour was just the same amount of people, just as easy to get into (I have always been able to get into the tour arriving 15 minutes ahead), and now they give out free pint glasses (that you do NOT drink out of, which saves you from having to deal with a dirty glass). The tour guides are all very funny (and probably hungover, or drunk, or both) which lightens the mood and makes it a fun hour-long experience. My visiting friends have always had fun whether or not they are huge beer drinkers. I myself don't drink beer very often, but it was cool to try a couple tastes of different types to see which ones I might like more. If you're wine tasting it Woodinville, Redhook is also a great little change of pace. It's also in the same building as Forecaster's Pub, although when I last went to the tour, we tried to put our name down before the tour so that we could eat there afterwards, and they said they don't let you do that. By the time we were done with the tour, the wait for dinner was an hour and a half, so we had to go elsewhere. Still, the tour was great, it was easy to get into it for the last tour of the day on a Saturday, and my group always has fun!

    Went here with some friends for lunch. Food here is slightly better post-remodel, but overall fairly standard PNW pub fare..When it was time to pay, we gave them our Passport Dining membership card and credit card. The waitress came back and charged us the full amount, stating one of our entrees was ONE DOLLAR shy of the buy one get one free Passport Dining discount. I later checked out the terms and conditions for Redhook in the Passport Dining iOS app and didn't see anything about a minimum purchase amount for the offer. So, I contacted Passport Dining and when I asked them about this, they said this isn't the first time this issue has come up and refunded me the $11 after verifying they should have honored the card. When speaking with the manager at Redhook, he stated they are allowed to have separate rules which are currently not printed anywhere but he's working on getting it on the menu. That's an issue when going online to pick this place based off the card being a member then arriving and maybe finding it on the menu. I find this dishonest and misleading, and won't be back. For those interested in a better alternative in Woodinville, the Hollywood Tavern (operated by the owners of Skillet) and the Commons (operated by the owners of Purple Cafe) both offer superior taste and service.

    Had ribs, burger and salad with some friends after a bike ride. Service was good. Burger was good but ribs were less impressive. Meat was dry. Also disappointing they only had fountain lemonade. Also tried the beer sampler and almost all the selections were too hoppy for our taste.

    I came here with some friends for the beer tasting tour. It costs 5 dollars and takes an hour. You get a pint glass for a souvenir and you taste 5 different beers. Now I don't actually like beer, and I literally just wanted to taste the different beers so for me they gave me more than enough beer, but even my friends who like beer felt like they had enough beer. Plus I'm sure if you wanted more of a certain one they probably wouldn't deprive you. The tour takes you upstairs and leads you into a room where they give you your pint glass souvenir and your plastic taster glass. This room ends up being the hub basically. I wish they had given out the pint glasses at the end so that I didn't have to carry it around along with my taster glass for the duration of the tour. Theres some windows and you can see some tanks through it and they talk to you about those and the process that goes on in there, they take you out into a little deck in the fermentation room, and then you get to go out and see where bottling is done. If you go here during the workday you'll actually get to see the bottling happening but since we came here we didn't get to see that. Between all that you get to sample your beers and the tour guide explains the variations and what makes them unique. The tour guide was very informative and had a sense of humor. Reminded me of someone who hates life but is witty and funny - I know you all have a friend like that. He had plenty of drinking stories, and clearly knew about the process and what goes on at Redhook. After the tour we tried to have dinner at the restaurant but the wait was an hour and 15 minutes. Granted it was a saturday night and mothers day weekend. Before the tour we wanted to make reservations but they said that they don't take reservations. It was a little frustrating, and while we were all a fan of Redhook and I love their nachos, its not a restaurant thats worth waitng for over an hour for. All in all the tour was a fun little hour and I felt like 5 bucks was a good deal for it. Theres plenty of parking, and its easy to get to. Definitely a fun little activity to do, especially if you'd be able to eat dinner afterwards.

    Nothing to write home about as far as the food goes. Obviously the fun part is the beer, which is delicious. PROS: worth it if you do the tour hit it at happy hour and do some sampler tastings (their huge and totally sharable) CONS: food is nothing to write home about can get busy during the weekend = slow service

  • Mariko L.

    A fun place to pop by for a beer or a casual bite. After wine tasting, why not pop in for a quick burger. Even if they're not the best burgers in Seattle (but solid), they might taste like the best thing after you've been wine or beer or whiskey tasting in the Woodinville area. Beertails (beer based cocktails) were a fun twist. I had the hazelnut vodka porter cocktail which was interesting to try and I didn't mind it, although I'm still not 100% convinced beer should be used in cocktails. I haven't been, but I'm also dying to go to one of the outdoor movie showings they do here during the summer.

  • Emily H.

    Their beer is always great but food was sub par this time. Had the steak Caesar and the steak was VERY rare and the dressing tasted weird. I was disappointed in their lack of apology and when the server brought it back it wasn't much different. My son had a cheeseburger and it was pretty pink in the middle. We did have a large party but I think the quality was lacking as a result.

    Good food and friendly service. The beer has changed when Budweiser bought them and the food has decreased in quality. The salmon is farmed (white fish dyed pink is not good).

    Amazing Fries, Good Beer, Mediocre Burger for the price. Good friendly service! Free samples of Firkin on Fridays! I popped in here for lunch with a old friend. Him being a burger lover I already knew where I was heading on the menu. I avoided the Kobe burger even though I was most drawn to those toppings. Let me start of by saying the fries were damn near perfect. The right thickness, fluffy and soft inside with perfect crunch on the outside. Salted with good quality sea salt. The burger, while well topped and on a nice bun, at $9.50(+1 for cheese) I expected a much better patty. This had no beef flavor and comes cooked medium wellish? For the price I expected more. Their beer is great and they offer samplers. They have beers here they don't bottle so make sure to treat yourself to one of them! They underwent a remodel last year and the place has a very nice lodge/cabin bar vibe. They have TV's over the spacious bar playing ESPN. They also have a huge patio space, I can't wait to come back in summer! The service was friendly, quick, and attentive. They also gave us free samples of the Frikin (a cask beer they tap every Friday). When I come back I will go for the steak frites and some beer in the sun!

    Their food is decent pub fare with a slight NW kick. The nachos are the best value on the menu. Of their beers, their Copperhook is my favorite. They have some of the best beer shwag of any brewery. I've been on the tour 3 times. Great if you like to drink, not so much if you want a tour of the actual brewery. You basically don't leave the main room much, just quick looks left and right to see the brewing and fermentation tanks. Even a Budweiser you get to walk around. I will give it to them that seeing the bottling line in action is probably a sight to see, but since I could only make it out on weekends I never caught that. It was a yearly tradition for my friends and I to bike from Ballard out to here at least once a summer. It always freaked the local bikers out when we told them where we came from (since it's almost 20 miles). We definitely earned those nachos and beer, but oh that ride back...

    First off, the tour provides you with a LOT of beer for the money. That being said, we went on a Saturday, the place was jam-packed full, and not very enjoyable due to that - we had a quesadilla as an appetizer before the tour. Not cheap, for what it was. The tour guide was witty and knew his material well.... and it was almost too long. The large amounts of beer made me a bit woozy and tired by the time it was all over. ...and I just wasn't that impressed with the flavor. Sorry. I know there are some die-hard fans for the stuff out there, but I guess I'm just not one of them. So, I'm glad we went. Don't need to go again.

    HAHAHA! I want to thank Redhook for opening my eyes to the world of beer! I wasn't a "big beer person" before. Often, I'd wonder how people could like the taste of it. The lighter, the paler, the better. My friend from Seattle had introduced me to this place. For $1, you can tour the brewery and enjoy 3-4 mini glasses of beer. I wasn't that interested in the whole brewing or bottling process, but I definitely learned a lot about the art of it, which led to a whole new appreciation for beer! The best part? The tour guide was introducing IPA to everyone..and it was a little too bitter for my palate. He then told us to "think about a grapefruit" and take another sip...something about that trick (if you will) made the beer so much more enjoyable to me. In fact, I loved it! I wanted more! Haha - Unfortunately, I forgot his name, but thank you for opening my eyes and palate to different kinds of beer and to bringing me one step closer to being "more cultured!" PS - The mini glass you use to sip on during your tour is your souvenir! :)

    I really like this place and the new interior design is great. They moved the bar to the middle which really improved the vibe. I am a fan of their beer and their burgers are pretty good. I really like hanging out on the back deck in the summer and the lights strung above are a nice touch. Highly Recommend.

    Thankfully I was in the midst of great company. Had I been here for a simple night out I would have left. I have to say that if you are thinking banquet, think elsewhere. Food was less than appetizing and like chomping on a tire. Bartender was less than accommodating and rude. I would think if a customer asks for a specific item, banquet or otherwise, that the staff would at least entertain the idea of providing, especially if they can make a couple extra dollars on the sale....ie, me returning to the bar. I have to say my word of mouth advertising along with the 150 guests may not be beneficial to Red Hook Brewery. Bear in mind, you aren't the only game in town anymore!!

    I was very unhappy with our trip here this past weekend and am afraid that we won't be back. We brought in a huge crowd, made sure to email them about it 2 days prior and the gentleman who greeted my guests was very rude. It ruined my experience and was sad to have had to brought a lot of business to them that day. We immediately left and made our way to Triplehorn Brewery in Woodinville who are dog friendly. Next time we will be bringing them our money instead. There $1 tour is amazing, food is ok, server was nice. Like the outdoor seating during the summer, but there is normally a long wait, we have walked in and right back out before.

    Love this place! If you've never been on a beer making tour, do it! It's a lot of fun and you learn a lot. The food is great here and the proportions are huge. The beer sampler is great to order so you can try a little of everything. It's usually busy, but it's worth the wait!

    As part of a Groupon, my friend and I visited Adventura which is an aerial adventure park just behind the brewery. If they do not market the park enough, I think the brewery should because it does attract quite a few people. As part of the deal, we spent about 2-3 hours in the park and then headed over to the brewery for a tour. As many times as I've been to the brewery, I had actually NEVER been on the tour before. SHOCKING!! I went on the tour and our tour guide (David) was THE BEST brewery tour guide I had EVER had. Regardless, he knew his facts well and made it a known fact that he will call you out if you are disturbing his "beer lecture." He had a blunt personality that was both engaging and funny. I give thumbs up for this tour; it was definitely worth it. If you go on a tour, ask for David. He will give you a beer tour you'll NEVER forget. My favorites that day were Audible Ale and Mudslinger (which is new). I recommend everyone to try those two. After trying out all the beers (and they were a decent sample size). If you do not like drinking loads of beer, I recommend buying a sample set. You don't have as much especially if you do not like the beer. Aside from the beer, Redhook provides movie nights during the week across their brewery. The lawn is a good size that fits a couple hundred people. So bring your own food, blankets and lawn chairs, because during the summer, it is beautiful and quite nice to be out. They do serve beer there if you buy vouchers and occasionally have fro-yo as well. Always a good experience when I come here, so don't hesitate and go on down!

    The tour was excellent. Great bang for your buck - literally, it's only $1.00 for a tour with a lot of beer samples. You also get a cute glass to take home. The tour is packed with information and funny stories. There isn't much walking actually - the tour takes place in 1 room 90% of the time. The burgers are decent - no fries though. Served with chips instead. No problem - it was tasty. It's very filling and I wasn't able to finish my whole meal...especially after all those beer samples! I would definitely recommend the tour if you enjoy beer and have a buck to spare :)

    Just got back from an awesome opening evening for the newly remodeled Forecaster's Pub and I have to say, the space is really fantastic. This will definitely be one of my new summer spots when I'm passing through the Eastside with friends -- the deck space alone is killer and on a sunny day it's the perfect compliment to your beerz. We had some great food samples, tried plenty of beers (they serve more than just Redhook, other local beers, cocktails, wine etc. as well) and enjoyed some live music inside. The interior design is what I'd call Northwest chic now, Edison bulbs, plenty of reclaimed wood -- the works. All in all, a much needed and nicely executed update for this place that better reflects what (I as a PNW native) think Redhook is all about.

    This was our first time at the Red Hook Brewery and we were pretty content with our experience. The tour cost $5 but you get a free pint glass and quite a lot of beer compared to most tours that I've been on. They talk about the brewing process and then show you their large holding tanks and their bottling line. Then they let you sample their beers in their large tasting room. My favorite was the cider. It was sweeter and less tart than most so I really enjoyed it. I'm not a huge fan of IPA's so I didn't really like their Long Hammer ale but that's just me. I'm also convinced that it smelled like weed. Marijuana is legal now in WA so it wouldn't surprise me if they changed their recipe. However, it was a really fun tour and we got plenty of beer to sample so no complaints here.

    Great tour and more than worth the $5 admission fee (free beer!) Restaurant is not too shabby either, pulled pork is some of the best I've had since moving to Seattle from the southeast (and if you're from there you know how hard it is to find good BBQ here!) My only complaint is the food is a little pricer than it should be, $12-13 for a burger, etc. but that can be said about the majority of places around here so don't let that discourage you. Will certainly go again someday.

    KEEP POLITICS OUT OF THE BREWERY! I've probably been on the Redhook tour at least 10 times. I have stacks of Redhook taster glasses in my cupboard. It had been awhile since I have been on the tour and my fiancé had never been, so I was really anticipating it this time. I remember paying $1 to the tour guide when it started but since I was a little early I wanted to see if I could purchase my tour "ticket" at the store. I asked the lady standing behind the counter if I could get my ticket there, and with a condescending look, she slowly shook her head--She wasn't friendly at all. Tickets for the tour are now $5, fyi. Apparently the same girl who worked behind the store counter was our tour guide for the afternoon. Yippee. I miss the old tour guides. I remember a blonde girl working there for the longest time and she was always fun, she wanted to know my name because I became a regular. Anyway, we were stuck with this condescending, dull tour guide. I could tell that she must use the same lines over and over and over again. In fact, I think she even used the same line as the blonde tour guide from long ago. I was a bit agitated that she mentioned politics during the tour. She mentioned Hobby Lobby as being "weird." I noticed that Redhook is liberal, that's fine, but why paste it everywhere? It also bothered me that she cursed numerous times during the tour when little kids were present. It's not necessary. Needless to say, I won't be going back to Redhook. There was another time I went with a group of 14 people to eat but after over two hours of waiting we were never seated. I gave them the benefit of the doubt and continued to go afterwards, but after this experience I will not be going there again.

    Wow, this place got crowded. Last time we were here was somewhere around 2002, pre "craft brewers alliance" and apparently pre local redhook obsession. The quaint little brewery with small pub & grill is gone, and in it's place is a busy, crowded, bustling restaurant and bar. The tour sold out several hours in advance, though from what other up there said, it hasn't changed much over the years and is pretty great. The food in the restaurant was good, service was super friendly, even with a group of 10 including 4 kids/babies on a busy saturday night. They have a gift shop now!? Lots of cool redhook swag to be had. I'm a fan of redhook, and I'm glad to see business is booming, but I'm a little bummed that it's not this quiet little secret spot just waiting for me to pop in every 10 years.

  • Eric T.

    Maybe 2.5 stars. Went for someone's bday. It was ok. Nothing special to write home about. It's like a BJ's or Applebee's. Smoked pulled pork was a little cold when I got it, flavor was ok. The chips were fantastic, only highlight of the whole thing. Chicken breast sandwich that my wife ordered was ok. All in all, it was ok. Beer... Well, come to find out that Red Hook was acquired by Anheiser Busch, the same people that brought you Budweiser. I was told that they left them alone to do beer the way red hook knew how, but sadly it was very lacking. Definitely no longer the microbrew they use to be and the flavor closely mimics those of AB's other beers.

    Why didn't I do this before?! My brother came to town today from CA and brought a friend with him. After 5 years of living in Seattle (and loving beer) we took the trip to Woodinville today. Good thing we did! We had a blast. Walking into the restaurant/brewery around 12:55PM a tour guide named David smiled at us and asked if we were part of the 1PM tour. Ummm... sure? It's just a dollar so we hand over a few bucks and suddenly we're whisked away upstairs to get an in depth tour of the brewery and learn about the history of Red Hook. All while getting 4-6 5oz samples of beer. YUM! David was incredibly outgoing, friendly, entertaining and informative. His history lesson was peppered with funny jokes for the crowd and he had everyone laughing. There must have been about 25 people on the tour with us and he had everyone's undivided attention. Over the 50 min or so chat he took breaks to serve beer to the thirsty crowd. If you drink often you might not 'feel' much but after the 4th or 5th glass in under an hour, I was really enjoying myself! Stopping to eat lunch after the tour (and having water) I was perfectly prepped for the ride home. I really enjoyed the trip and intend to bring more visiting friends and family here. I also want to check out their summer outdoor movies!

    Did a ropes course at the adventura place next door. Slammed my ankle into a landing ledge resulting in a giant hematoma and a lot if pain and a bump the size if a tennis ball on my shin. Limped into redhook brewery in serious need of a beer. Left medicated, tipsy, and full! Chaotic, loud, a dudes bar vibe, kinda smelled like one too. But the bartender was super nice, gave me an Advil and a sample of beer that tasted like weed! The beer handle was actually a bong! Ordered the Reuben with fries. Eeermegawd!!! Sooo good! And huge! And awesome. Great experience, even with a hematoma.

    I've been to the Redhook brewery a few times during our trips to the area. Conveniently, it was right next to the Willows Lodge we were staying at. We went a few times for brews and snacks at the pub and also took the tour. The tour only cost a buck and it was crowded so plan ahead. Our group was led to a tap room overlooking the giant vats of various Redhook concoctions. There we were served up tasters of their brews and regaled with stories about Redhook's history. Now our tour consisted of little more than going to the bar for a fresh beer and walking to a place to drink it, but who's complaining about that. The beers I liked best from the Redhook collection were the Dunkel, ESB, Wit, Copperhead and the Longhammer IPA. They also show movies in their outside park "the grassy bowl". I'm not going to pass up one of the great dinners we had around here to watch a flick I've seen many times. But, I'm sure it's a fun night out there watching "Predator" or "Revenge of the Nerds".

    I want to like Redhook more, I really really do. The location is beautiful and makes for a great destination if you are biking along the Burke Gilman/Samammish River trail. The forecasters pub is large, with a nice outdoor area and feels homey in the standard pub kind of fashion. The brewery tours and the hosts are awesome folks and for $1 it is a totally good deal. Buuuuuuuuut, I dunno. I never buy Redhook when i'm at the grocery store looking for a 6 Pack. Decent beer this is! And honestly, on tap it is much MUCH better than anything they bottle. Still, I always feel like there are too many lagers on tap and not much else that is interesting to drink. On my most recent visit, the tap list was exactly the same as it was 3 months prior except for ONE tap. Eh. Next -- the food. You get massive quantities which is nice because the items are a wee bit on the pricey side. BUT you pay for quantity, not quality. I've never been impressed with any of the food i've put in my face -- standard is a descriptor, decent...ok. But, when you ignore my requests on levels doneness, removing onions, plate sharing, etc and then the actual meal is only just ok? I get the sads. Next next - the patio. I'm not sure if there is much they can do about this, whether it is due to the river or just a bunch of dead frogs in a nearby swampy area or simply sewage somewhere. But wow. It smells BAD out there. On a hot summer I'd like to enjoy a tasty beverage in the sun, but sans the smell of rotting poop/who knows what. All in all, I like Redhook ok. And after a 25 mile bike ride those pints are sure refreshing. But i'm working on my fitness to make the bike rides end more in Redmond instead of Woodinville -- so I have a feeling my visits here will be fewer and farther in between.

  • Darci S.

    The tour is the best deal going - $1 for about a pint of beer (6 x 3 oz), souvenir glass and info about how Redhook is made. They don't bottle every day so our tour wasn't much of a tour ... but we did get lots of samples and info on the beer itself with a peek inside the brewery. I now know what differentiates regular beer from craft beer, for instance! Our tour guide was a character, great personality and just right for the job. We got to try five varieties of beer, plus one extra of our favorite brew. We had a great time!

    When we stopped in here it was busy but we found two seats at the bar. It took a while for anybody to notice us but it was busy so we weren't too concerned. Ordered our drinks - beer and cider on tap. Good options on tap so we were both excited. We were a little frustrated when our drinks took a while too. Finally ordered food after sitting there for 20 minutes. The pretzel appetizer was amazing - delicious with stone ground mustard and homemade cheese sauce (not the nasty yellow stuff). We were disappointed with our smoked pulled pork dinner that we shared. The pork was really dry and didn't have enough BBQ sauce. The beans were under cooked. And the coleslaw was bland. If you come here get a pretzel and drinks and expect slower service.

  • Christa B.

    Review of the restaurant only: We tried to get in on a few weekends, but the look of the place didn't inspire me to wait an hour for a table. Still had a short wait on a weeknight, and I was surprised at the number of families bringing little kids into a brewery for dinner. I tried one of their beers, and it was good, but I wish I'd tried one of the more interesting drinks. The scallops I ordered were nice, but overpriced for the skimpy serving. My husband got the ribs, which were not exactly fall-off-the-bone; he was sawing at them until we had to leave. The server was friendly but overworked I think. If you want a casual, loud place & don't mind sitting on stools or picnic benches & smelling like beer when you emerge, go for it - otherwise, for the money there are many other nice places in beautiful Woodinville. One other random note - the grounds across from the brewery are gorgeous in the fall if you're looking for somewhere to snap some photos.

    Does anybody like communal seating where you're sharing a table w/ strangers? And who enjoys trying to get in and out of a 14 foot long picnic bench? I'm not really sure I understand the logic behind the recent renovations-- at least this component of it. Like: straddling? No. I do not want to straddle to get in and out of my seat beside strangers, thanks. Also, it was really really cold in there. Everyone in my family kept their winter jackets on to eat lunch. So in addition to the seating, that's pretty uncomfortable. I disagree that the quality of the food supports its price. There's also not much of a range. I'm vegetarian, and my friend is gluten-free, so we didn't have much to choose from. My $13 or whatever black bean burger was mostly bread. The fries were fine. My son's little $5 mac & cheese was Kraft.

    I always enjoy brewery/restaurants. What's not to like? They were able to accommodate us with several children in tow. The restaurant is not too noisy and they have a good selection of beers brewed on site. We enjoyed both the BBQ burger and pulled pork sandwich with fries. I paired with a Square Mile Hard Apple Cider - not a local brew, but rather an "imported" option. The meal was a solid 4 stars. Good food but lacked the "wow" factor. The service was good. We were checked in on throughout our meal and everything came out in a timely manner. Bonus points are awarded for bringing out Heinz ketchup. They were sold out of one of the beers, which I find unusual as they literally make it on site. I'd recommend this as a dinner location.

  • Rebecca F.

    Despite all of the positive reviews for the Brewery Tour, I really thought I wouldn't enjoy it as much as I did - a very pleasant surprise!! For just $1, you get an hour's worth of good information, entertainment (lots of humor added in with the information), and about 6 generous pulls of different variations of the beer! You also get to take home your taster's glass which is a perfect Whiskey-sized drinking glass or even excellent for dipping Oreos in milk! Check the website for times for the tour (on weekends it seems to be every hour in the afternoon, but there are seasonal times for weekdays on either even or odd hours - 2 hours apart). I'd recommend not going to the tour on a hot (PNW hot or hotter!) day just because the main room for the tour isn't air conditioned. You can soak up some AC during one part of the tour, but it doesn't last a long time and then you return to the non AC room. If you show up with time to spare before your tour, check out the gift shop or the attached pub. Make sure to sign up for the tour at the gift shop before spending lots of time in the pub though just in case it fills up! They will make an announcement prior to the tour starting so it'd be really difficult to miss the tour if you decided to grab some ale beforehand. This tour is definitely something I'd take more out-of-town guests to go do when they visit. It's cheap and an all-around good time with a classy souvenir to boot!

    Lunch yesterday, 6/13, was an absolute disaster for my party of 8. Incompetent hostesses for starters. A disorganized and extremely rude & patronizing wait staff was more than we could take. I've rarely been treated so poorly anywhere as a customer. Food was adequate at best. The service was disputable. The way we were spoken to and treated guarantees we'll never be back.

    When my friends invited me to join them to the Redhook Brewery, I got all excited because I've never been to a brewery before and I wanted to take the magical tour explaining to me why I love beer so much. Alas, they were just inviting me to have a few drinks and to eat. The wait was ridiculous, so we opted to sit outside in the cold. My main gripe is, if you're sitting a bunch of people outside and it's cold enough to make my frosty beer taste warm, then maybe have those heater lamps working so your customers don't get frostbite while giving your their patronage. Aside from that, the food was good, nothing exceptional, but a tad pricey. The beer, well, sadly I will admit, was good but nothing I have purchased before or will in the future. There is just too many better choices, in my opinion, than to buy Red Hook.

  • Chuck C.

    We've been here several times and even taken the tour. The tour is great. You don't really get to see the inner workings of the place but you have fun and drink beer. It was $1 to take tour the last time we went but I noticed it's $5 now. We had dinner Friday night and the food is OK but the service is terrible. I've never had worse service at a bar. We had to wait about 45 minutes for a table so two of us went over to the bar. The bar tender (the guy we dealt with) was nothing short of a big dumb lug. I won't go into details but we left a $0 tip. We sat outside since the wait for an inside table was over an hour. I don't think the place is packed because the food and beer are good but rather it's the hip place to be if you're 21. Very noisy, very hectic, slow service. After we got our food our waiter lost us for 20+ minutes! Empty beers, empty plates, waiting for our check...........We finally tracked him down and got out of there. All in all, not a great place to go except for the tour.

  • Ari S.

    I'll start with the positive: the fried cheese curds were amazing, and went deliciously with the Wit beer we ordered. From that point onward, it was a severe disappointment. I received the worst burger I've ever paid for, hands down. Ordered medium, served burnt to a crisp. Advertised as a 1/3 lb patty, but no way it was over 1/4 lb. Fries were alright. For a $14 burger, it was a straight up insult, especially after a 25 mile bike ride. My advice: save your money and go to Quinn's or Skillet instead.

  • Shert J.

    Food was disappointing, so was the restaurant. We did not take the tour, but probably should have, because their beer was the best part of our lunch. We opted to sit outside. Mistake! 75% of the patio was taken up by a huge white tent. There are some tables and chair but no umbrellas, no plants or flowers. Very sterile and concrete. Sun shone down on us, made me so hot, NOT an inviting place to be. My hubs and I ordered the "Brewmaster's Salad", which was billed as a hearty, filling salad. Wrong. Made of frilly, lacy greens, it had about 1/2 teaspoon of hard boiled eggs, and some finely crumbled bacon. That was about it. Not at all filling, not very good. Skip lunch. No ambience, nothing charming or fun. Food was meh and disappointing. Only the beer was good!

    What a great place. Tucked back in the woods there is this hidden gem. Very friendly staff and good food. Ohh wait and I forgot GREAT BEER!!! Started off wjth the ESB cask and what a great beer.

    Very disappointing food. The tables next to is we're complaining too. The burger we ordered was over cooked, probably frozen and small in size. Too bad, because their beers are great. With so many food options in Woodinville I would recommend you choose another option.

  • Tyler L.

    The food may only be on the slightly better side of average for bar food, but the beer is fresh from the source and the selection is great. Staff was very friendly and checked up on us often. The fries were incredible, cooked just how I like. The burger was also good, the bun was fantastic and the meat pretty good. The special bbq sauce made from their beer was ok. The beer is the reason to visit though. Try the sampler for a great variety with generous samples of each. $7 at most bars gets one drink, here it gets 6 8 or 10 ounce beers. I didn't care for all of them, particularly the nut one, but some were amazing. The best part is everyone can find one or two they love. Great, hip space to hang out and surprisingly family friendly.

    I love coming here! It's my go-to place when I'm showing someone new around "wine country." Plus who doesn't love $1 beer tours??? So the best parts of Redhook: - Awesome beer! - $1 for a brewery tour - Not only do you get beer, you get an awesome glass to keep! Also, the tour guides I've had have been pretty funny and definitely try to make sure everyone has a good time. - The beer mac n cheese! Amazing! - Pretty good service all around. The bad parts: - Parking can be terrible, especially on weekends. It just gets so busy (probably because they're awesome). - When you can't find parking that means you know it's super busy and crowded. Sometimes can be a long wait for a table.

    Food: your average bar food. Beer tour: only $1. You don't get to explore much, however. You stay in one room and look to the windows as you're given a one hour tour. I liked eating the grain, though. You get tons of beer to try, and a glass to keep! We got a full sized glass since they ran out of the small ones. Score!

  • Jamie R.

    I live just down the road so I go to Redhook all the time... at least once a week. Service is always excellent, not necessarily super friendly but efficient. I love the patio during the summer, no place around here can offer the same thing and it's huge so you can get sat rather quickly. It can get busy on nice days so expect parking to be a big pain in your arse. Great beers of course, my favs are the ESB and the Porter. Yum Yum Yum. All the food is great, especially the pretzel! Best one anywhere. I do gripe about the nachos a bit as they don't make it in layers so the cheese is just on the top, kind of lame. The store inside has some great merchandise as extremely fair prices. I am tempted to buy stuff every time I am in but how many beer t-shirts does a girl need really?? I did hear they are closing this fall for a remodel and the kitchen will also be getting a fryer. French Fries!! WOOT!!

    The beer is fantastic, but I wish could say the same for the rest of the place. A girlfriend decided to have her 31st bday lunch at redhook. Apon arrival we were told it was a 50 min wait which was ok because the place was packed. We ended up sitting on the patio, our server vahn was polite and entertaining. After apps were eaten and seconds before our food was ready the weather turned to a trenchal down-pour. Our server quickly grabbed a umbrella and was holding it over our table. (which was awesome) Everything was soaked everyone from the patio ran inside packing the place to shoulder to shoulder people. As we decided what to do about our meal considering we had no where to eat besides the floor a manager walked by and was rudely pushing everyone in closer to the bar which I think standing barely on the wrong side of the rail was the least of his problems. After the rain stopped the server acted quickly wiping our table down and our chairs. We ate in between rain showers after our food sat in the Window for us to have our table back. Not a word from a manager apoligizing for cold food, soaked gifts, and ruined apps. I don't expect a refund or anything because of unpredictable weather but some acknowledgement would have been nice. The managers were literally doing nothing with all the chaos that was going on. One manager was even just flirting with a server while our server was trying to save our Appetizers and holding an umbrella for us. Vahn was awesome and definalty turned the experience as positive as he could. Managment really needs to get it together, I mean they are suppose to be the problem resolvers.

    I can only speak for the tour, but it was great! No walking, by the way, just a super funny and friendly hostess who talked about the beers (with a Willy Wonka reference, I might add the "real" Gene Wilder Wily Wonka, that escaped most of the crowd) and some great samples. It was a fun way to spend an hour.

    Ok so this "tour" really wasn't much to speak of. You're basically lead to a room which has a view of some brewing tanks and you stand there for an hour. But that's not really what this is all about. It's about the beer! I've gone on a handful of brewery tours and on every single one, you don't get to drink anything until the very end. But here, they start you off with a sampling of beer. Then they talk about the brewing process, then more beer...then they talk about something else...more beer! You get the idea. In all, I believe we were treated to 5 or 6 pulls of beer and given a free pint glass (since the smaller verson was out) to take home. And all of this only cost a dollar! Yeah I'm a definite fan. Our tourguide was very knowledgeable and funny and the attached restaurant provided a nice venue to wind down afterwards.

    Zero hostessing skills on the part of the 4 hostesses. Sheesh.. I wasn't going to let them ruin my day. Decent food. Good beer. Dress code on a sunny day - Your best cycling gear. If I would have know that I wouldn't have changed out of my gym gear. I'll know better next time.

    Obviously you are going to get some pretty good beer when you come here, but the food is pretty good too. It is a big brewery and they have a good tour to see all their equipment and process.

    Very odd, drove from Downtown Seattle to tour the brewery on a rainy Sunday night. Pull up to the brewery during normal operating hours only to find out the brewery & restaurant were closed. Website didn't have any indication why it was closed. Menu board had today's date & soup listed on it. No apparent reason to be closed on a Sunday.

  • Mike B.

    Overall, the place is pretty damn good!. The only thing crappy is that it usually takes for ever to be seated. I frequent there and have left because of 45-60 minute waits. Regardless it is still a great place to swing into especially after a long bike ride.

    While Redhook may the brewery that put Seattle on the map as the term "microbrew" was becoming a thing, the evolution over the past decade that have made them a nationally recognized brew are the same events that diminished them as a hometown hero. (I'm speaking of course of the merger with Anhauser-Busch InBev, the largest alcohol distributor in the world.) Visiting the old Trollyman brewery and taproom in Fremont was a unique experience, one that has since been replicated throughout the city by other breweries, but when they abandoned their home and consolidated their west coast operations to their vast Woodinville production facility, they really lost what little they had going for them in the (then) expanding Seattle brewery scene. Today a visit to the taproom is a hassle if you're not already on the eastside, although it is conveniently situated just off the Burke Gilman/Samamish River Trail so it's a fine pit stop if you're out for a ride. The taproom is expansive and airy, which makes for a lively and noisy experience at peak capacity. The sunny patio out back is a great place for afternoon relaxing if you're lucky enough to score a table. It has admittedly been a while since I've eaten out there, but the food has always been decent pub fare. The fried cheese curds and fries we shared after a show at Chateau St. Michelle while waiting for traffic to die down were really pretty satisfying. As for the beer, their beer no longer stands out on shelves filled with outstanding regional craft brews. As with most beers, fresh on tap will always trump bottled in the store, and it's as fresh as it'll get when your at the brewery. Although Redhook has succumbed to the siren call of mass production and international representation, I'm sure Redhook shareholders have no problem at all with the growth despite what it has done to the brand at a local level. It remains a symbol of Seattle, but in roughly the same way as Boeing is: They both got their start and have a presence here, but people are decreasingly likely to identify the brand with with the city.* * This is pure conjecture on my part, but I haven't the resources nor time to conduct a proper study to verify this claim.

    I have been on the brewery tour several times. It's a great way to get drunk for only a buck. I have also eaten there a handful of times. The atmosphere has always been nice, until last night. I was taking my mom out for a late Mother's Day dinner. I searched all over Woodinville for a fun yet nice place and decided on Forcasters Pub. First off they were remodeling. So we had to sit in a tent outside and it was extremely noisy. Nowhere on the website did it warn of the remodeling. Second, in their menu I noticed a little gf next to food items. I looked for what the gf stood for and found that it meant gluten free. I was so excited. And the mahi mahi tacos are gluten free. When they delivered my food I noticed the tortillas were flour. Ok fine I can scrape out the fish and salsa and not eat the tortillas. No big deal. When I started to pick through the tacos I found out the fish was breaded too. The waiter did ask if I wanted something else but I didn't because by that point with all the noise I just wanted to leave. So I picked through my tacos. Probably wont go back. If it says gluten free then they should follow through with that or redo the menus.

    Went with a group of eight, took awhile to get seated but not unexpected on a nice Saturday. Service was fine and everyone was satisfied with the food. Most had burgers and said they were good. I had salmon dinner, small portion, but the taste was as good or better than other mid-price places I have been. Mashed potatoes and asparagus were good. Nice beer selection of course. I had Audible Ale, not my favorite but cousin really liked the Big Ballard IPA.

  • KT P.

    Came in on my birthday to do the beer tour. If I could give that portion five stars I would. It was fun and you get to sample a few different types of their beer. The tour leader was hilarious and made the whole tour fun. At the end you get to keep the pint glass so that was cool. We ate after the tour and I thought the food was phenomenal. Turns out I was just drunk. Went back a few weeks later for lunch and the food was awful. They couldn't cook a burger to a temperature specification because they say it's too confusing for the kitchen staff. Turns out the only temperature to get a frozen brought in beef patty to is medium well. The nachos were kind of burned and lacking in flavor. The only thing that was as good as I remember from my drunken birthday stupor was the hot pretzels. Go for drinks and the tour but don't go hungry.

    Enjoyed the tour! Great food and of course beer! Put this on your to do list when in WA!

  • Danielle H.

    If you are going just for beer - this would be your typical bar with wide variety of beer on tap (sort of like most places in Seattle...). However, if you are going for beer and perhaps some food with friends, don't expect much from the food. It isn't that great, but the atmosphere is neat with the long dining tables and center bar area. I dig it... perhaps just eat first or only order the nachos.

  • Ariel Z.

    Before we get any further, I have to tell you that I'm not a beer drinker; we ate here because we were doing the Adventura session, and there was a bit of a wait between the end of our rope course session and the beginning of our brewery tour. The SO enjoys beer, though, so I'll try to balance this out. His pretzel was good (and the beer cheese sauce, as well), but my nachos were just okay. They had melted shredded cheese on top of the chips instead of using a nacho cheese sauce, which was a bit weird to me; I would have loved that beer cheese sauce on my nachos instead! The guacamole and salsa were pretty good, but otherwise, I'd skip. The half-size is pretty substantial, though - I didn't finish it. The SO enjoyed his bratwurst, and his beer, which was a spring seasonal, I think. I had a glass of Chateau St. Michelle riesling, so kudos for the non-beer offerings. The tour itself is pretty good if you consider that you get five 5-oz tastings for a $1. You don't do much walking or anything, as the tour is conducted in a big room with glass panels so you can see all of the various components of the brewery. It lasts a full hour, and they do it on the hour; you can only see the bottling portion on the weekdays though, I think. All in all, the tour's fun to do once, but I don't think I'd return for the food.

    Great changes! The place has really developed over the last few months with the remodel of the restaurant and bar. The menu update was long over due and a welcome change. The addition of the fryer ups the anti on this classy pub food location. Full bar and rotating taps is also a great change. Keep in mind you are dining in a brewery so it's just common sense to get some RedHook beer. Wine from the surrounding area is also available. On a side note... While I respect other people's right to post a review I'd also give this advice. Be responsible, qualify your experience. If you have a bad experience once don't write off a place. Give it a second chance, every business has an off day. You might miss out on an even better experience down the road! Chalk it up, move on, breathe, try again.

  • Decaux L.

    Used to really enjoy coming to Redhook before the remodel. Since... food is terrible, menu selections are not well thought out (come on, bacon steak... just a large strip of inedible fat!), prices too high for what they serve, and the beer is, although consistent, not very special considering the numerous local craft breweries who are turning out great stuff (black raven, Mac n Jacks, Georgetown, Snoqualamie, etc). I'll bring out of towners here for the tour, but it's out of the normal rotation. Bummer!

    Meh. We went here for lunch on a busy Saturday afternoon after playing at Adventura Aerial Adventure Park. We got seats outside, which was awesome until the wind turned and brought dairy cow dung smell over. That's not the brewery's fault for sure, but made things a bit unpleasant especially after taking a bite of food. The beer was great, really great. The food was mediocre at best. I had the salmon sandwich which was bland with dry bread. My sister had the black bean burger, which was cold. My brother had the fondue burger which he said was mostly great (where there was cheese) but also dry in places (where there was no cheese). My husband's burger was forgettable. My 2 year old daughter loved the mac 'n cheese (which looked just like the stuff from the box), so at least she was thrilled. It was busy, so we never really saw our server and it seemed like too big of a hassle to mention any thing about the food because it took so long to get there in the first place. It has been a year since I've been here and my first few visits were great. I'd suggest coming at a less busy time, just for the beer or for the tour. Don't expect an awesome lunch when it's busy.

  • Zach G.

    For the beer - 4.5. I started out with a Copperhook, and then did a sampler made up of 6 smaller classes. All of the beers were very good, and a couple were fantastic. The only one I wasn't the biggest fan of was the IPA - it was pretty weak, hops-wise, for an IPA in my opinion. To me, it seemed like a normal Pale Ale at most. If you love hops, you might be upset. For the food - 3. I had a German Sausage which was...average. It was a bit too soft for my liking and had no real snap in the casing that I have grown to love in German sausages. The sauerkraut was average, as was the bun. It comes with chips, which seemed tastier than average. They do not have a fryer here, so there are no fries or other fried foods. For the service - 3.5, but you can tell they were working their butt off on a very, very busy weekend due to weather and the area wineries having passport. If it a week day or a weekend without such a crowded locale, I'd expect (or at least hope for) better service. However, considering the crowed, they did well.

    The $1 tour is the cheapest I've been on that includes a souvenir; the small, squat tasting glass is great for candy. Or large shots. Your choice. At the time I went on this tour in 2010, I didn't realize how unusual it is for not leading patrons through the tanks and equipment. In fact, the whole tour takes place in a room and walkway sealed above the plant. Sure, Red Hook (Craft Brew Alliance) is a very large craft brewer, but if you go on an Anheuser-Busch tour, you'll see more equipment than you do here. In fact, the only similar tour I've ever had was at the OTHER Red Hook Brewery in New Hampshire. But I'm not complaining. A brewery tour is more about the guide than potentially walking into an industrial beer accident, and the guide I had was enthusiastic enough that I still remember her shouting "Reinheitsgebot!" years later. I also remember generous beer tasting, although there were only four brews available.

    My first time at a brewery for an event and I loved Redhook, they have yummy beers! They have a nutty flavored one that I totally recommend. Tons of parking, however don't get confused by the many brweries around each other! I'll definitely be back :-)

  • Nick T.

    Well, I guess the one good thing about this place is the fact that their tour is an hour long, is quite informative, & costs only a $1 for 6x 3oz "samples" of their different beers. The tours are pretty much the same each time (I'm guessing they change them slightly based on any new seasonal brews?) but the general information they tell you is the same each time you go. As far as the food goes, omfg I'll skip. I ordered the fried chicken, which I think came from some mutant Tur-chicken animal as the drumsticks (yes, drumsticks, not drumstick & thigh like the menu advertised) were HUGE. You would think this is a plus, but it's not. I think due to their large size and how long it would take to actually fry a chicken leg of such size, they pre-boiled the chicken legs as the breading they put on (wasn't very tasty) didn't even stick to the skin, the meat was tough & a bit chewy, and the skin frankly looked boiled and separated from the breading. The beans were meh and the cornbread was like a square of cornmeal held together by only god knows what. Coleslaw was meh. In addition, a few other members of my table's dishes didn't look all to appetizing either. The nachos were large yes, but they just didn't look appetizing at all. Overall, I don't think anyone was really satisfied with their meal and we only ate it because we were hungry after a full day of wine tasting followed by the beer tour & beer tasting. My recommendation is if you go here, go on the beer tour, and if you want to get some good food, go elsewhere, unless you're absolutely too wasted to drive/walk anywhere else.

    The Redhook brewery tour is a great way to spend an hour on a sunny (or rainy) Friday afternoon. I went with a friend last Friday and for $5 you get a Redhook pint glass and a very informative tour of the brewery. You also get to sample all the current offerings during the tour. I highly recommend it!

  • Michael A.

    So I usually love to bike out to Red Hook and get a few beers and some food. But last time i went out there, they were remodelling, it was not mentioned anywhere on their website, so we had to sit upstairs and eat cold sandwiches after a long bike ride. I was disappointed that they didn't let people know they were re-modeling. I look forward to going back when it's all done, but my last experience was not pleasant.

    Go for the beer tour, but skip the food. Forecasters reopened recently, but ugh... I can't believe we paid that much for that kind of food. Do your taste buds and stomach a favor and go elsewhere... One spatula.

  • Neka K.

    We had to ASK for service after sitting there for over 10 minutes. The servers were even friends with some of the people who were with us and we still couldn't get any service at our table. Weird. I literally had to stop someone and ask "hey, can we have a server" for our party of TEN that you might not have seen sitting here?!?! After that though, our server was great. She was peppy and funny. The food was fine, nothing special. We had a great time!

  • Caleb Y.

    If I was only rating the libations it would be a 4 star place...however, the tour was BORING. Stood in one room the whole time...although they did give a lot of samples of beer which is nice.... The beer by the way....good!

  • Jamie K.

    Loud, crowded, commercial. The knowledgeable bartender made us an off menu tasting specific to what we wanted to try, the appetizer was fast and delicious (spunks), and the tour was only $1. If the atmosphere wasn't that of a Chili's staffed by 13 year olds, this place would be great.

    The tour guide David was hilarious! Best brewery tour I've been on, and that's saying something. Five bucks gets you the tour plus over 2 pints of beer. Don't forget to tip cheapskates, it's worth it!

    Not a huge drinker but I really like there ESB. I have tried some of there other brews that friends have ordered and really liked them. Had there pulled pork sandwich last time I was in and it gets an A+! Place can get pretty crowded at times but still maintains a friendly, laid back atmosphere. It is an actual brewery also and I hear taking the tour is pretty awesome.

    Red Hook can be fun on a warm summer night. Outdoor patio offers a great way to sample some beer, have a glass of wine and enjoy some conversation with your friends in the sun. If you feel like taking a break from wine country, or need to grab some inexpensive dinner before a show at Chateau Ste. Michelle this is your spot. Beer sampler is only $7, and you get a full color wheel of hoppy goodness. Seasonal selections tend to be really good. The menu is not very extensive, but offers some hearty sandwiches and salads. Two things to keep in mind: 1. The deck gets busy and you might have to wait 20-30 mins for a table, but you can still order a drink and hangout on on of the benches. 2. This is a bar/restaurant yet they close at 11 pm on weekends, just an FYI.

    The smoked turkey leg (sounds good?), was SOOOOO dry, it was NOT edible! The coleslaw had no flavor. I was mostly disappointed that the waitress had no interest in whether we liked our food or not! I'm kicking myself for not speaking up there, ZERO stars for service (from our server), and 1 star for the food, because my friend liked her turkey sandwich. She didn't even ask about doggy bag, and there was a whole turkey leg on my plate!!!

  • Sabrina K.

    Business dinner here last night. Pretzels were doughy and didn't taste much like a pretzel, other than the load of butter and salt. The cheese sauce had good consistency, but was extremely bland (I opted to use lots of mustard instead). We were served pretzels without napkins (or place settings) for our table. When I asked our server for napkins, he said "I'm answering your question right now about vegetarian options...". Humph, ok. Our server also interrupted our table multiple times to say, "can I take away your plate tonight". How weird. Our server had a passive aggressive attitude and just wasn't very friendly.

  • Zulkiffly S.

    This review is strictly for the tour. It's super cheap. It's 1 dollar for the tour. And you get to taste all the beers they serve. And also when you leave you also can take the glass with you that cost 5 dollars in their gift shop. For one dollar you get all this. Much worth it. Definitely coming back.

    (5)

  • MJ S.

    Service is friendly and casual but occasionally slow generally when it's busy which is obviously understandable. My girlfriend doesn't care too much for the food but I think it is top notch for your average pub fare. Brew tours, growlers, great gift shop, and of course above average craft (and some micro) brews add to the allure. Been about half a dozen times with no complaints as of yet!

    I've done the $1 beer tour, eaten in the restaurant and gone to the summer movie series. I love it all! For $1 you get to take home a beer sample glass and try 5 kinds of beer. I recommend you show up an hour before the scheduled tour time ( redhook.com/breweries/wo… ) to register as it's on a first-come, first-served basis. The Forecaster's Pub (the onsite restaurant) makes a mean hummus plate. But be warned that if you try to eat a full meal and drink a pint of beer, then do the beer tour you will be uncomfortably full like I was. I suggest you get there early to check in, eat lightly, drink lots of water, then do the beer tour. Then after the beer tour when you've decided on which is your favorite you can order a pint of it at the Pub. I'm looking forward to returning this summer for a beer tour, a burger, and an outdoor movie :)

    I would have given five stars - but....I had come here for my husbands birthday to get a tour and tasting. No way to call ahead and reserve spots, or book your own private tour-we got there and it was SOLD OUT. How can a tour be sold out? Super frustrating considering six of us all drove up there for that. We ended up getting a bite to eat and that is what turned the whole thing around... Our waiter was SO friendly, patient, fun and helpful. The food was DELICIOUS. My husband got a Birthday Beer. Prices are a little high but with it being so busy it makes sense. I like that you can move the umbrellas because obviously the sun was moving during our meal!

  • Jena E.

    I don't think there are quite enough reviews of the Redhook Brewery and its $1 anti-tour tour. Instead of writing a full review, I will just add some snippets. Please put these on a cinematic poster or the cover of the Redhook novelization. "We stayed in one room the whole time, but by the fifth beer I appeared to be moving." "I fell in love with the tour guide, but I fall in love with anyone who gives me beer and this is a problem." "I can't remember anything about it now except that hops taste like Grape Nuts." "Come with your parents who only drink lager so they give you all the bitter and dark beer."

  • Brenda A.

    I have not gone on the beer tour, as I am not a fan of beer, so this review is based off of the restaurant. The food is decent, it is like a fancier version of typical bar food. I especially loved the brat, and whenever I return, I usually use that as my default order. The ambiance is a bit crowded; usually there are lots of people waiting to be seated. If you try to visit during summer hours at night time, be prepared to wait. They have live music that time of the year, and dont expect to just walk in and get a seat. I've also had them turn my table away when it's 1/2 hour before closing, as they wanted to get out on time. This is somewhat strange, and rubbed me the wrong way. I've never had a large bar/restaurant turn a table for three down with a 1/2 hour before closing. My friends like the beer, though.

  • K M.

    I've gone on SEVERAL of the brewery tours here and hands down David's is the best. The food is good and the beer is always great, the servers and staff are always friendly and all the events Redhook put on are awesome! But definitely go on the tour! For a whole dollar you get way over a pint of beer, a lot of laughs and you might just learn a little.

  • Amanda B.

    This brewery is middle-of-the-road for me fo' sho'. It's close to me and my digs, but the beer has never been anything beyond decent, the space has never been interesting, and the food is pretty good. Nothing's wrong with the place, but I've been to far better breweries. That said, they're basically the only one on the East side, so we can't be too hard on 'em. Upside: plenty of outside seating (sometimes overrun with cyclists coming off the Burke-Gilman) and a cozy fireplace (even though it seats only, oh, four). Give it a try for a pint and some edamame. You probs won't regret it.

  • Veronica K.

    We ate here a couple days ago and although outside seemed pretty busy, inside was not. Our server (I believe Kim or something) had taken a bit to greet us but we finally placed our order. Literally 2 minutes after receiving our entrée, the server drops off our check and puts it right in between our food! I felt so rushed and as if she just wanted us to pay and leave in a very quick manner! My beer had been completely empty in the middle of us eating our entree and our server had never been by to ask if I wanted another one, or even how our food was (which was just ok). Of course, as soon as we put money in the check, she was by to swoop it up. All in all, lousy service, mediocre food.

  • Colin A.

    Take the Tour. Cheap ($1.00) Funny, Entertaining, Educational, and you get a good sum of beer to consume. Its near all the other wineries, breweries, and distilleries. Right off a convenient bike trail. Restaurant, I hear is nothing extraordinary. If you need to catch a game on tv while on your sequence of tours to a full glass here is the place to stop. Well worth the visit.

  • Keith C.

    Here's a caveat. I don't drink. "Why the hell are you reviewing a brewery then?" I hear you ask. Well, they serve food, and my friends wanted to go. Food: It's standard American fare, nothing outrageous. I enjoyed my burger, but it's the same burger you can get at INSERT BURGER JOINT HERE. So, not bad, but not mind blowing. They also apparently serve beer. My friend got a sampler, which was eight small glasses of beer. He drank them all, so I guess they were good, right? He said something about an IPA, and maybe an amber? Are these beer words? I dunno, someone else here must have tried the beer, read one of those reviews. Time: They were really slow that night. Like, we waited 20 minutes or so for a table and 40+ for our food to arrive. The waiter came by and let us know, so at least we weren't in the dark, but I was getting hungry by the time the food arrived. Other than that, I don't remember that much. They have a gift shop if you want to buy their merch.

    Unfortunately both hostesses seemed to be clueless. Told it would be a 30 minute wait, yet we waited well over an hour and still weren't seated. Hostesses were unhelpful, un-resourceful, and unapologetic. Were told we could order our food to go and eat it on the steps in front of the restaurant but would not be able to have beer. Will never return. Would have been zero stars if possible. Very disappointed as we love their beer and we're looking forward to eating there.

  • Dustin S.

    Tour lasts about an hour and it cost $1.00. For that one dollar you get to sample five of their beers and learn about brewing process. Valarie our host was a bit hungover, but she was delightfully funny. She was able to answer most questions from a home brewer like myself. If you are into beer, have some spare change and want a positive experience, I would definitely recommend this tour. It came with a free pint glass too! We also got a pint and some fries while waiting for our tour to start. We asked our bartender about parking around Safeco field. She was able to direct our question to a more knowledgeable staff who gave us great advice. Good experience. Their renovation was just completed so the place had a good clean vibe too.

    Stopped by here after vising a few of the wineries, I had never been and it was close. My friend and I were seated fairly quickly but it did take a while to get our drinks. We didn't see much of our waitress, and they where kind of avoidant of making any rounds. I ordered a burger with no sauce, and naturally it came with sauce. The replacement took forever to come, and by the time it had, my y friend had already been done eating for quite some time. The burger was about half the size you'd expect for a $9.00 burger, and it was pretty bland. The biggest downside to it all, was the bun was like inhaling a bag of flour.

    Ahhhh, good ole Redhook. I will always have a soft spot in my heart for the Redhook brewery, it's where I lost my virginity...my microbrew virginity that is. The 1st mirobrew I ever had was at the original Redhook, in the Trolleyman Pub. A pint of Wheathook is all it took to get me on the road to eventually becoming a beer snob. Of course, Wheathook is where a noob starts, but over the months and years you end up hitting the hard stuff and before you know it, you're all hopped up on Blackhook. Of course, Redhook was becoming very popular and eventually built a sprawling complex up in Woodenville to handle the demand for the supply. It's the mothership of all microbreweries the size of which I have yet to experience anywhere else in my travels. Yeah, it's big, but don't let that deter you from visiting. The Redhook brewery in Woodenville is not to be missed...period! The mothership has plenty of room for you and your crew, it's trendy, unique (there are boulders in there you can sit on) and the food is great. If you appreciate a large selection of world class microbrews, then the Redhook up in Woodenvill is Mecca.

    I always saw their beers at several stores but never had it nor visited the brewery. The tour and the beer were equally awesome. For a nominal fee, you get several tastes along with a complimentary small glass. We bought a six pack of the IPA which was very commendable in comparison to other great stout and dark beers. This place is next to several vineyards which made it very convenient for us.

    Sadly, though we eat here fairly often, I'm not that impressed with the place. The food is so-so. I usually get the pretzel and the arugula/pear/chicken salad. However, I am not happy with having to sit family-style at a picnic table with others. And I am definitely never happy with the temperature in the place! There is no barrier between the front door and the tables, let alone a separate entryway to block the weather or even a space heater! I've had to eat with my coat on. The service ALWAYS stinks. It takes forever to get drinks, then your food, then maybe they'll check on you, then forever for the check.

    * Nice beer tasting "tour" * Ok, so the tour involved getting into a large room with several kegs of beer and sampling them. And then one big "trip" through a door to look at the tanks. But the tasting of the different varieties of beer was nice. It was more a flight of beer tasting than a tour - but for that it was good. Can't beat the price also - just $1 and you get a little souvenir glass. Just skip the pub food downstairs - that is not worth the time/money ( yelp.ca/biz/forecasters-… ).

    Biked here today from Magnuson park. A solid 15miles (and then back!) The ride took longer than we thought so we were on a tight schedule. The waitress was great about helping us through our rushed meal. California burger - delicious! I wish they had fries instead of chips, but i guess i don't really need the carbs. Chicken Taco salad - yummy!! I will definitely do this ride and come to Redhook again!

    We showed up for the tour and stayed for lunch. The tour involves a large amount of walking for extremely long distances. I think I walked a total of 20 feet. Yeah, not really a walking tour, more of a standing around and drinking beer tour. The guide was entertaining and very informative, especially about the beers. After the sold out tour (get there early) we went to the restaurant and had our dinner before flying home. The sausage sample was great! One sausage wasn't all that great tasting for us but the quality was excellent and one member of our party absolutely loved it. The chicken taco salad we ordered was quite different than we expected but that didn't detract from it at all. It was also very tasty. Oh, and the beer was good too! ;-)

    This is a cool place to go with a group of friends if you want to sample beer and learn its history. PROS: 1. $1 beer tour! 1, 3, and 5 pm on weekends before Memorial Day and every hour 1-5pm during the summer. 2. 5 samples of beer equivalent to at least a pint and you get to keep the little glass they give you! 3. Super funny tour guide. CONS: 1. Hella crowded. Get there a half hour before tour time lest you want to be bumped up to the following hour's tour. 2. They allow kids on the beer tour. WTF? I LOVE babies, but not when they are crying over the voice of the tour guide. Seriously? Parents, leave the kids at home! Seriously? Redhook, is that even allowed? 3. Food is meh. I ordered the grilled salmon for dinner after. $14 for dry, bland salmon, day-old rice pilaf with frozen veggies mixed in, and over salty side of broccoli. Tasted like hospital food or old-home-people food.

  • Elaine S.

    Went for the $1 tour. It was awesome. No BS just humor and beer. had a blast honestly. I love their beer - if you want to get the sampler that is one the menu you are better off doing the tour because you get the sampler plus an extra beer sample of your choice (it is the exact same size/amount). Definitely worth it.

    (4)

  • Dennis D.

    Don't expect fancy dining, or haute couture... this is a brewery. But when you get there, definitely snag a bottle cap....um....I mean tour ticket... because it's totally worth it. If you've already been on the tour... it's worth it to do it again. and again and again... ...yeah, if you're sensing a pattern here... well... you've not taken the tour enough. BTW... PRETZELS!!

  • Dina H.

    Do the tour! It's a dollar and you get five tastings of beer AND you get to keep the tasting glass. Our tour guide was hilarious. My cheeks hurt from laughing so much. I actually learned a lot too. You don't actually tour the facilities ... you mostly stand in a viewing room ... but it was still a lot of fun.

    I know this review will not be very helpful to most but I did have an experience there and I feel I should be able to share it. First off, I did not eat or drink here. My wife and I did the ropes course on the property and walked in about 4:30 on a Sunday. It was fairly busy and we were told there would be a 20-25 minute wait and we were given a pager. We were told if we could find room at the bar we could sit there and be served. We walked to the bar of no seats and returned to the front. As we were walking I could not help but notice 3 completely separate tables that were clean with 4 chairs each in the restaurant and they were completely empty. Maybe somebody could explain to me why in the hell I would have to wait 20-25 minutes to sit down when there are multiple open chairs for me to sit down and have a meal at? Please make it sound convincing also. I don't want to hear that the tables were reserved, there weren't enough wait staff, the kitchen was overloaded, etc. I can't imagine the food or service could be that good if they can't even friggen get people seated; and from some of the reviews on here it appears that I am probably right in this regard If I owned that place I would be jumping down somebody's throat if I saw anybody walking out and not being seated at an empty table and chairs that I paid for and paid to have put into the restaurant. The whole point of a restaurant is to maximize profit by having all empty seats filled as much of the time as possible. Yes we wanted to enjoy the place but we ended up walking out and spending our money at another restaurant where we were seated quickly and served quickly.

    Great place to grab lunch and a beer or two (or three). I recommend the tour for sure. Tours are at 2pm and 4pm on weekdays and 1, 3 and 5 on weekends (I am pretty sure). We went on a Friday afternoon and it was very fun. Tour guide was funny and we got to drink 6 mini-beers for only $1! You tour some of the brewery and get a good dose of jokes, and you get to take home the 5 oz. Redhook glass! For lunch I had the bratwurst with beer-marinated sauerkraut. So good. My boyfriend had the pork sandwich and liked it a lot. The food here is bar food but on the more creative side of the spectrum. Cool experience, would especially be fun to take out-of-towners to lunch and for the tour. Cute gift shop to buy Red Hook swag.

  • Darleen W.

    It was a beautiful Sunday afternoon, we got there right at noon, and were seated right away, outside on the deck which was great, except for the cow dung smell, which I had never noticed before on previous visits. The waiter, was great, took our drink orders, and got back with those in a timely fashion. We ordered our lunch, the place was filling up fast, and waited 1 hour and 15 minutes just for the salads before the entrees!!!!!!!! We asked the poor fella several times what was up, and he apologized profusely every time and said, the kitchen was super busy. They were, but this was ridiculous!!! Another 20 minutes went by and we finally got our lunch. Great waitstaff, extremely.SLOW........ Will not go back for a very long time. They remodeled to acomadate more people but apparently don't have the kitchen to support it.

  • Lindsay A.

    I have to start off that I'm not a beer fan but others in my group are and they like the beer. So I can't comment on their beer. We usually go to Redhook for lunch before going wine tasting. The food is decent. I like the sandwiches, but in the summer they only serve chips instead of potato salad. My entire group was disappointed because potato salad is a summer staple in my book. Instead they served a small amount of chips. I don't feel chips can replace potato salad, especially when the price doesn't change. $11 is steep for a sandwich with nothing with it other than chips. Sometimes the waitstaff is a hit and miss. I've had really great service and really bad. The only time I would never visit is if there is a huge group of bicyclists. When I went one time the restaurant smelled like a gym and it ruined the whole lunch. I don't want to eat in a gym. (I really wish Woodinville would have some more restaurants, since Redhook is disappointing at times)

    The $1 "tour" is great. It's basically a guy operating a few handles behind a bar. He recites a bit of history about Redhook and some basics about the brewing process. 5 sample sized glasses for $1, and you get to keep the glass, which is nice. What knocks a few stars off is that the beer wasn't cold! I mean really - you're at the dang brewery and 3 out of those 5 pours were fairly warm instead of cold. Thinking it might be the tour, we went to the bar afterwards, and again, the beer wasn't cold. If they were serving cold beer, this would easily be a 4-star type of place.

    (3)

  • Ken R.

    Redhook's nice, bright, shiny new kitchen has so much potential, but in my opinion, is being very poorly used. I like the place, but the food is of poor quality and unimaginative. Maybe they need a chef that is more than just a line cook and by all means, better quality ingredients.

  • Sarah L.

    To describe the brewery tour, as the guide says, "Where else can you get drunk for $1?" This is one of my favorite brewery tours. You learn a bit about the brewery history, style and manufacturing, but the focus is on the beer. Between each tidbit of information, you get a sample of one of its beers. There are a few breaks to see the bottling room and beer tanks, but these are few and short lived so you can get back to the important thing: the beer! I think all in all there were five types to drink, plus we got one more beer of our choice as a bonus round. You even get to keep the shot glass as a souvenir. For those looking to learn more about the beer making and production processes, you may be disappointed. But for those of you who want to hear a few anecdotes about Redhook and enjoy all the beers it has to offer, this tour is for you.

    I threw a surprise belated birthday party for my boyfriend last night and we had a blast! They always have lots of cool events here in the summer but best of all is $1 beer tours! The tour is awesome and so funny! The beer is delicious and the food was pretty good too. Our server gal was great especially considering there was about 14 ppl in our party. This place is only 5 minutes away from us and yet I sometimes forget its there. I definitely need to come here more often.

  • Troy G.

    So I really wouldn't call this a "tour" but it was pretty awesome. The tour is only $1 a person so seriously what have you got to lose?? Go drink some beer!!! So the $1 gets you a small Red Hook tasting glass which usually costs $2 I think from the gift shop. I think throughout the tour each person drinks about 18 oz of beer or maybe a little more, so the price is MORE THAN WORTH IT!! So you spend the entire tour in fairly good sized room with all of their beers on tap. The guide will talk for awhile, pour a beer for everyone to try, and then talk for awhile. This continues until the tour is done. If no one uses the shame bucket, then everyone can choose a pour of their favorite at the end. The bucket of shame is where you pour your beer if you can't finish it or don't like it. You see where the beer is made and learn the process. I learned a lot of helpful tidbits about beer. For instance, did you know that any beer sold in Oklahoma over 3.2% alcohol has to be sold in a liquor store at room temperature? I mean I didn't like Oklahoma before but that gives me even more of a reason. So in conclusion, If you love beer and you have $1 and around an hour to kill, why not go try some Red Hook beers. It may not be a formal tour, but unless you're a beer expert, I guarantee you won't be disappointed. Now as far as the restaurant is concerned, I have no clue if it is any good since I went for the tour. I will say the gift shop was good though as I walked away with a shirt in hand that I purchased.

    Take flight. DON' T USE THE BUCKET OF SHAME. ( if you don't you all get to pick your favorite at the end to taste) A flight of beer for $1.00 plus a tasting shot glass if YOU GO ON THE TOUR. Money well spent although it wasn't a tour per se. Two rooms but lots of history of the beer brand. Nice host. It was well worth the time and buck. Also, dined in the restaurant and it had great sandwiches (chipotle chicken and salmon were favorites) salads ( caesar was awesome and add Salmon) soup (clam chowder and beer cheese got accolades) plus kids' meals. The large patio hosts great views of the greenery for out of towners. Umbrellas for the shade needy and full sun for everyone else. This place was hopping and the beer was flowing. Great lunch spot. We would come back again.

    This was so FUN on our visit to Seattle. It was raining off and on so we decided to find some wineries and we stumbled across Redhook Ale Brewery as well (which is right next to Chateau Ste Michelle and Columbia Winery)! The tour was only $1 per person and our tour guide was super fun and awesome. We got to taste a couple of beers and you get to the keep the little beer tasting glass!

    Average brewpub. Beer is Redhook so hard to go wrong there but food is average or worse than average. BEFORE THE GREAT REMODEL: 4 stars with good kitchen, great service and decent atmosphere. AFTER: full bar, enhanced brew pub warehouse decor, good beer and food has gone downhill. Could use new cook. AVOID PORK PLATE - extra dry which no amount of sauce could help. Great for families or if you just want to visit the bar...

    $1 for 5 beer pours, and hands down FUNNIEST brewery tour I've ever been a part of. There were roughly 30 people on the tour and it was amazing. I have recommended it to anyone who will listen to me.

    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!

    Simply awesome. Im freshly 21 and this place took me in with open arms like a newborn infant. The Brewery Tour is amazing, extremely informative. We also went to Pike Brewery downtown and both these places had their advantages. Cool restaurant to hang out at. Excellent choice for a vacation experience!!! Go Dawgs.

    EDITED because of unexpected follow-up from management due to this review. Yay for Mark from Redhook. Thanks! _~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_ Never been on the tour so if I ever do I will update accordingly. That said I've been here to eat several times for lunch after a busy morning wine-tasting at Chateau Ste Michelle across the street. I don't have any complaints about the food, (anything tastes good when you've been drinking wine since 10am on an empty stomach! We go for birthday parties, don't judge!) but we've consistently gotten BAD service. I don't even like their beer (Everything tastes like an IPA! Ew!) so for me, lunching at this place is more of a chore than anything. The last (and hopefully final) time we went there my boyfriend inadvertently pissed off the waitress with the amount of the tip he gave her and she felt the need to corner us in the gift shop and scream at us for several minutes! I hope she got fired because that was unacceptable! Who does that?! I quite enjoy tipping well if you deserve it, I want to let people know what a good job they did, but if you act like a total snatch, don't refill drinks, keep us waiting and bring me cold food? You're lucky you got anything! Dearest Red Hook: Please verify that your employees have taken their medication before you unleash them on the unsuspecting public!

    Note: this review is solely on the brewery "tour", we did not eat at the restaurant. Our "tour" guide on Saturday was Valerie, a perky blonde with a loud (shrill) voice and a hilarious penchant for bird calls to get everyone's attention. I keep putting "tour" in quotes because it wasn't really a tour, as many reviewers have pointed out. Our large group was basically in the same room the entire time, with one brief detour into the fermentation cellars. We tasted five different Redhook beers, including the Pilsner, a Belgian-style Wit, Copperhook, IPA, and one other one that I can't remember because I hated it (went back for more Wit!). I liked the crisp, refreshing Pilsner and Wit beers, and even enjoyed the light amber Copperhook, but the IPA was just unpleasant - super hoppy and too bitter for me. I was somewhat disappointed that they didn't provide samples of any of their lesser known beers - instead, all the beers we tasted are pretty well-known and widely available, at least in the NW. What would be great is if they previewed upcoming seasonal beers, but maybe they do that closer to the seasons? I would have loved to try a seasonal pumpkin ale or maybe an oatmeal or chocolate stout. Anyway, they should really start advertising this as a tasting rather than a tour. But at a buck even for about 12 oz of different beers, it's a pretty good deal! My one real complaint I have here has already been mentioned: crying kid in a stroller. What the hell, Redhook? What the hell, "parents"? Were you last in line when they passed out the "good idea" books? What would possess you to bring your child to a brewery? Okay, rant over - time to chug a cold one!

    Beer! So fun to do the beer tour here. Well worth the 2 dollars or whatever it cost. And you get to keep the glass! The food is great too. The tour is awesome. You also learn about beer. The tour guide we had was very cool too.

  • Lilani E.

    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.

  • Matt P.

    Went on the tour. Best dollar I've ever spent. You get to hear a little about the history of the brewery and taste several of the beers. You don't get to walk around the brewery but it was still a fun time. You get to keep the sample glass when the tour is over which is cool. Also if you tip the tour guide you get full sample glasses!

  • Nestor P.

    Another destination when I have out of town guests at home. I really like the tour and specially the location. Convinient located, Redhook brewery is a place where you can spend few hours entertained with friends and family. The brewery tour is cheap and fun because the Tour guide are friendly and funny. The balcony is very well located because you can see almost everything including the machines filling up the bootles and the packing process. the brewery also includes a small restaurant that gets crowded during the weekends and the service is really good. If you have visitors, include this place as an option because people find it interesting and funny.

  • Ann C.

    Mudslinger should NOT be just a seasonal, it should be available 365 days a year! It won't be around for much longer, so I'm drinking it every chance I get. The food at Forecasters Pub is usually pretty good, and while I love fries, I'm glad that they're not an option there. Their potato salad is a little sweet for me, but still very, very good. The one thing I have a big problem with is the service. It's been more than a year since our last visit, and we were given indifferent service that time, too. There were lots of employees aimlessly walking through the sparsely populated dining room, and it seemed like only one or two people were actually serving food - like, serving ALL the food. It took forever for someone to come and take our order. We watched one unsmiling waitress walk by our table three times, and if we'd known she was OUR waitress, we would have flagged her down. A simple acknowledgment would have been nice but instead, we were ignored. It's odd that when I've called to ask questions, the staff has been very friendly and helpful, but the ladies they have serving tables tend to be on the surly side. Are we just unlucky there? However, I got my Mudslinger, so we'll return. Maybe not until it's back next January, but we will return!

  • Angie P.

    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!

  • T H.

    I came here with my boyfriend and his parents/aunt and uncle. The food was pretty good (we all enjoyed our meals), but the service was lacking and slow. When clearing some dishes, the waitress dropped a knife on my boyfriend's foot. He picked it up, handed it to her and she didn't say a thing. No "I'm sorry!" No "Are you okay?!" We also had to hunt her down for the check AND to pay. Yeah... I'm sure I'll be back but I will make sure we don't have the same waitress!

    (3)

  • Steven S.

    All you have to do is read the other Yelp reviews, they're spot on. The wait was longer than they promised, the food is mediocre, even for bar food. The only redeeming thing for the place is the beer, and that was served somewhat on the warm side. ONLY go to have a drink and go on the tour...skip the restaurant!!!

    (2)

  • Maureen K.

    Honestly, I wouldn't go just for the food. The food is ok and reasonable priced, but nothing special. But the fact that there is a brewery tour gets this place 3 stars! What makes this place special is their "tour of the brewery" that operates daily. Check their website for hours. But tour only costs $1 and you get a nice souvenir tasting glass w/ the Red Hook logo! We ended up sampling 4 types of beer (including their seasonal). The educational part of the tour is pretty painless...they guy we had made lots of jokes and you stand in a room, drink, listen, drink some more, listen and drink. Personally, I thought the history of Red Hook and how beer is made was interesting. They are pretty lax, so the tour is not long winded and will take about 30-45mins depending on how many refills of the 4oz glass they do (depends on # of ppl in the tour group). I highly recommend going on the tour! SIDE NOTE: I was staying at the Willows Lodge (next door and w/in walking distance), so the fact that I could drink on the tour and not worry about driving made it nice. Also, it was a good (aka cheap) alternative to Barking Frog and Herbfarm!

    I have put off reviewing Redhook Brewery because it is just A-OK. With nothing to rave about and nothing to complain about, I have difficulty finding the words to write for this review. Redhook has average service and acceptable food and beer. They also have a decent set-up for watching games on TV. I never made the recommendation to go to Redhook, but I no reason to refuse when friends suggest it or I am in the area wine tasting. It is a true A-OK restaurant.

  • Just Y.

    Believe me, the only reason to come here is for the beer. And even then, you may not want to make a special trip for it unless your in the neighborhood already. The beer isn't bad, they just don't have a terribly large selection of brew styles to choose from and you either like their brews or you don't. I'll tell you how to really enjoy this brewery though. On the next sunny warm day, jump on your bike and take the 20 mile ride along the Burke-Gilman Trail out to Woodinville. Just about the time you're sick and tired of it all, there is the Redhook brewery and a cold couple of beers are exactly what you need to dull the pain. Park your ride next to the 75 others who came to the exact same conclusion, then go straight thru the otherwise empty inside dining area to the packed-and-there's-a-wait patio. Grab a bench in the sun and don't be afraid to order by the pitcher. Get a good buzz on, then take the hourly one-buck tour, have a little more beer, then hop back on that bike and burn off the sin with a ride back into Seattle. Did I mention that Hales brewery is on the other end of the bike path?

  • Tina P.

    This is another typical place. Nothing special but also not terrible. A wide selection of dishes and plenty of seating. So it would be a good spot for a large group. I must say I was really confused as to why all the dishes came out with couscous instead of fries...

    Redhook good to the last drop. I love the redhook, I wish they had some more options for beer selection, and I hate the Redhook brewpub. terriable service. Great beer, poor selection and service.

  • marquita f.

    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...

  • Kurt S.

    $1 tour with about 24 oz beer (6 4 oz tastes, but the guide didn't seems to care if you came back for 2nds) and a souvenir glass. Just avoid the mediocre restaurant....

    Redhook Beer delicious ("B"), Redhook food I rate a "D". I should have went tot he Barking Frog, across the parking lot. Had the Flat Iron Steak, well below my expectaions, especially when the mash and broc were cold. My warm pretzel (app) came after my main course. Typcial brewer.

  • Trip C.

    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.

    For those beer snobs who want to like walk amongst the machinery and wax about beer, hops, malt, etc etc, you will be disappointed. However, if you just want to sample a bevy of beer with an entertaining tour guide, then it's definitely worth the trip. (and it's $1, yeyah awesome!)

    Go for the food... NAH... Go for the BEER!!!!! Great location and just open the door of your car you smell the sweet crisp Northwestern woods and the hops and barley of good fine beer brewing!!!! Great outdoor area to eat and indoors great little bar to grab a cold one. Right down the street from Chateau St Michelle's so all your guest can get their drink'on! Went several times on a recent trip for the Nitro ESB on tap as it was the way to go!!! Also the porter was great too. Now the food is as food goes at a place that focuses on beer. So why are you there anyhow? Hopefully for the beer.

    There are a couple things to try at Red Hook: 1) Quiz Night happens on Tuesdays starts at... 7:30 I think. I went yesterday evening and the group I was with arrived at 5:30 to get a table. The place was PACKED, but the waitress never let our glasses go empty. The food was about average, your basic pub food. The beer was excellent. I recommend arriving early to get a table otherwise the wait can be LONG. 2) The outdoor movie series happens during the summer months. I went a couple times this summer and it was cool. You can bring your own chairs/blankets and they have beer vendors and candy/hot dog stands... it's a great way to spend a summer evening with friends. 3) The beer tour is well worth the $1 fee. You get several samples of beer and a free beer glass. --Also if you have never been there before (especially at night) the place is a bit hard to see. The road is really dark, so keep a look out for it or you will miss it. They should get a better sign...

    Well sh!t kids, I had a lot of fun. First off, the tour is 1$ and you get about 2 pints of beer, which ended up being more like 3.5 for me. YES, I did have a good time. Beyond being the perfect price, the tour was excellent, and the barladie was of so fantastic at her job--very charismatic and entertaining. So I tipped her because, fck, 1 dollar for 2 pints. Not only did she subtly hit on me after wards, she made sure to tell me that any more free tasting where more than allowed. So 2 dollars got me about 3.5 pints (enjoyed some from the lovely driving ladies who accompanied me as well). PLUS, you actually learn some neat information about beer and how wonderful it is! Optimal experience. Will def go back.

    I was taken here for my 21st Bday. I got to try a sampler of all their different beers. I liked long hammer and blonde the best. The food is really good but a tad overpriced. I think that it is a really fun place to go with really good beer. Their pulled pork sandwich is great. The stuff that comes with it (I think its called couscous?) is kinda weird but good at the same time. The shop is really cool, no dorky souvenir crap here, I bought a long hammer glass here. There are also shirts and hats which are pretty cool. (Stuff that actual people would wear)

    The theme park of "brewpubs," and yes, I have to quote that word because an actual brewpub is much more quaint than this behemoth. Plenty of parking, and as an added bonus, this appears to be a convenient stop while cycling around the eastside on a nice day, though watch out for annoying drivers who all too easily equate parking lots with motoring anarchy. We enjoyed our salmon sandwiches--more than I thought we would--but the menu struck me as limited. Perhaps I was expecting a menu more proportional the voluminous space. As such, it might be hit or miss for you, but if your needs are simple, there will probably be something that strikes your culinary fancy. Their beer is fine and known the nation over thanks to their partnership with Anheuser Busch, but nothing too unique or outstanding, considering the wealth of high caliber breweries in the northwest.

  • Harmony W.

    Beer is great, but the menu and food have gone downhill. It's not greasy enough to be 'bar food' and not fresh enough to be good. I suppose it falls somewhere in the middle, so I hope they will rethink the menu and make some changes soon. The tour is fun and worth a trip for sure. The outdoor patio is really nice in summer. They have outdoor movies in summer which I haven't been to but heard they are great.

    if you want great beer mixed with good tasting grub coupled with a great time for groups then Redhook is for you. This is a great place to bring out of towners visiting who appreciate fresh beer. redhook is world known and is a local favorite and when i moved here was on my top ten places to visit in my first week. The beer is sensational and i know its just redhook, but its fresh and so damn yummy. they offer seasonal brews that are always being poured and if you are feeling quite a bit like a beer afficionado, then try whatever they are pouring with nitro. their nitro pours are awesome and always will satisfy. if you are feeling witty and want some good beer, then visit on tuesdays for trivia night. talk about a good time with a few of your mates, this is the time to visit. Never been let down on a visit to redhook. try the tour if you get some extra time in the afternoon.

  • Peter L.

    Definitely a nice break in the city of wine! Red Hook is located right across the street from Chateau Ste. Michelle and next to the fantastic Willows Lodge in picturesque Woodinville. The brewery tour is an hour long and well worth the token $1 fee, which includes a generous tasting and a glass (I now have 6 of them). Forecaster Pub is ok, but not great. But with a patio, it's a nice place to pass a summer afternoon. The gift store has a bunch of shirts, glasses, and of course, beer, and at $19 for a case of ESB, I just had to pick up one last week after dinner.

    The Shining 08/21/08 $5.00 donation for entrance. $3 OR $5 beers depending on the size! I am really like the summer limited edition ale! I also like the blondes! I got a nice patchy area near the front! It was a little moist, and rain was sprinkling down! I forgot my glass's so I pretty much wandered around hoping someone would recognize me! But when that didn't happen I ate a delicious cheese burger, with Tillamook cheddar!! And listened to the Mamma Mia soundtrack on my Ipod! Good beer, GREAT MOVIE!! And I got a tank top for $5 bucks! Next week is Knocked Up!

    We went there for lunch and the food was about the Brewery. However, I can speak on the service. Let me just say it took about an hour to get a salad and an appetizer. Being outside of Seattle, thought the salad with wild salmon would be great. DO NOT ORDER THIS DISH !

  • Beck N.

    I'm a big beer fan, so when I knew I was going to Seattle, I begged my friend to take me there. While I wasn't overly impressed with the brewery itself (not quite as big or as elaborate as I had thought it would be...& no one was working because of the holiday), I did enjoy the laid back atmosphere. The tour pretty much takes place in one room & although I tried to pay attention (they reward correct answers to trivia with more beer ;) ), it seemed to go something like this "blah blah blah... try this beer. Blah blah blah... have another beer." So, for only $1, I got a nice taste of 5 beers that they offer. After the tour, we hit up some lunch downstairs. The menu wasn't fabulous, but the BBQ chicken sandwich totally hit the spot.

  • Tammy S.

    Great vibe, space and menu offerings. I'll come back again. The food was a a tad above so I gave this 3 stars. We had a lot of fun here and would go back.

    This definitely the eastside version of a "micro-brewery". Small kind of the same way "Micro"-soft is small. If that's your demographic, party on. If you remember the old brewery, brewery tour, and the quiant and cozy Trolleyman, it's not the same. I second the opinion that this is more of a tasting with little facts about the brewery and brewing process. All the same, a good chance to get a few different beers and a souvenir cup for $1, and it was fun to taste some of the beers that I haven't come across in stores (like the Eisenbock which is pretty good, ala the Spaten Optimator or Paulaner Salvator) Mostly, this place makes me want to go find a small brewery and try to relive the quaint cozy experience that I remember from the old days.

  • Graham C.

    Alright, Here's the deal. Don't drive here. Find a bus or a charter or perhaps get your parents to drop you off and tell them it's a church or something. The restaurant is cool, but the tour is the thing. I had a California chicken sandwich. Why the hell does putting avocado in something mean you call it "California?" It was fine. I love Redhook Beer. And the tour allows you to drink a lot and get a pretty decent view of how they make the beer. But, it's not so much a tour as a stand by a bar and look out windows at what happens. Any of you fools been to Ben and Jerry's in Stowe, VT? It's like that, but with beer. Valerie, the tour guide, was awesome and funny and knew her beer. I fell in love a little bit. If only I wasn't 3,000 miles away. But go and drink and have some decent pub food. They're perfect, chill Northwesterners.

  • Me H.

    I've been here a few times and I've taken the tour and if you go with a group it can be fun just remember to keep drinking the samples and you'll laugh at the frat boy tour guides jokes a little more. The food in the pub is not your standard pub food; they don't have a fryer so you won't see any fried foods on the menu. The food is ok with a nice selection but it's nothing amazing, the hummus tastes store bought but I still order it. The beer is the redeeming factor here it's tasty and hoppy and wheaty and good. The service leaves a little to be desired, my glass was empty and I couldn't get our servers attention to get a refill and than when it came time to pay the bill couldn't find her again. Expect tasty beer not so good food and service here.

  • May C.

    This review is for the tour mainly because I cant remember what happened in the restaurant. Exactly why they are getting 5 stars! Now we got to the brewery right before the tour started. And with a dollar, you get samples of all their beers AND you get to keep the sampling glass. What a steal! I remember the tour went, beer, facts about Redhook, beer, facts about beer, BEER, SOMETHING, BEER BEER BEER! hehehe. I loved it and I got nice and toasty. And you get more beer if you can answer trivia questions right. YAY BEER!!~

  • Gunther W.

    I stopped here after a couple of wineries and really enjoyed the beer and burger. The sampler flight was on sale for $4.50 for 6 different beers. I thought most of them were pretty good and really liked the stout. The restaurant was nice and had a few tv's on the wall so you could watch the Mariners game. I had the burger with the guacamole and bacon. Pretty tasty and really hit the spot since I was pretty hungry.

  • Chris B.

    The beer here isn't anything to write home about, but the atmosphere makes it fun. They do a trivia night on Wednesday nights that was really fun the time that I went. Something about trivia and drinking at the same time makes for a magical experience. For future reference regarding trivia: other people will be grading your responses at "halftime" so keep that in mind .. Also for future reference: a lacrosse game does not begin with a circle-jerk, as we incorrectly answered on our trivia.

    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.

  • Anthony M.

    Good Beer!!!!! Me and my girlfriend went to washington for a vacation, and we stopped by REDHOOK. Killer beer, we got the sampler, our fav was the Trippel Ale, reminds me of CHIMAY. We went to hundreds of breweries and we never found a beer like this. We had their spicy shrimp app...was great with the Nitrous ESB. Would recommend to anyone that likes beer.

  • Lyndsay B.

    I really lovee this place, and am so glad it is so close!! I have been here twice, the first trip my dad and I came for dinner. I had recently turned 21, so it was fun to have a little dinner and a pitcher of beer with him. We were sat pretty quickly (later, I was really impressed considering trivia was about to start in less than an hour). We started with a beer sampler, so we could decide what pitcher to order. Im assuming that was around 5 dollars (I'm sure you've read other posts about a better way to try these..) he ordered a burger, I got a sandwich. The food was decent, but struck me as overpriced. The sun was starting to set when we finished, and we decided not to stay for trivia. We were both a little tipsy so instead we took a walk down the Burke Gilman (sp?) trail until dark and headed home. Overall was a lot of fun. My second trip I was with 5 other already tipsy females after the winery tour. We walked in just in time to catch the last tour for the day. I cant recommend this enough!! Our tour guide was Kevin, he did a GREAT job, enough to have him interrupt our ladies night and come down to the patio with us for some drinks. He had lots of funny jokes and there was nothing more entertaining than watching the bottling room when youre drunk. If you live in this area- you NEED to do this tour. Afterwards we had some nachos and a couple pitchers, following with a blacked out night at a nearby kareoke bar. Bring a DD, and youre guarenteed to have a great time! But, again the food wasnt wonderful. Id avoid it all together, go for the tour and trivia+beer (tuesday is trivia night).

  • Harper H.

    The food is just okay, not full of flavor and not a very extensive menu. There is usually a wait to be seated and the restaurant itself has a cafeteria feel to it. The tables are not very comfortable and I don't think they have any booths? I ordered a Chinese salad. The chicken was chewy and had no flavor. The sauce was sort of gross and heavy. Next time I would just order a burger. I do love their beer selections. Also, they have outdoor movies on Thursday's in the summer. Good place to go for a beer, not food quality.

    (2)

  • Terry P.

    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.

  • Tricia M.

    Fantastic tour. Very informative with great beer samples. Heard they're considering smaller sample sizes. Darn!

    (5)

  • Miu M.

    The tour costs $1. That buys you a tour (possibly by a cute young guy), generous samples of their beer (enough to get a good buzz going, on an empty stomach at least), and a souvenir glass. Trust me, you cannot get more value out of $1 than you can here.

    (4)

  • Megan L.

    Beer tour & tasting for only $1! The funny thing is they don't have a tour at all. They herd you upstairs into a small room and just serve you different beers and in between the different beers, the server tells you stories about their brewery. Still cool that's it's only $1 and you get a free shot glass.

    (5)

  • Jeremy D.

    Cold, and go for the beer, not the food. I went on a sunny spring evening and although it was warm outside, the cavernous concrete dining area made me wish I'd bundled up. The $8 burger was sub-par. The bun was cold, the chips were mediocre, and the cheese overwhelmed the taste of the burger itself. On the plus side, the outdoor seating is fantastic in the summer.

    (2)

  • Charles C.

    I've had much better food, and I certainly have had better beer! The brewery is in a nice location, the staff is friendly, and the tours look fun, but there are many other breweries that I'd much rather eat and drink at.

  • Hunter O.

    so my buddys took me here for a my bach party.. the bummer part is that you cant buy tickets ahead of time for your party...lame boo on you redhook..it was my first time here and i did not even get a tour and one of my friends got there over a hour before the rest of us and the tickets were already sold out..thats why you get only 2 stars...and i will not tell friends to come here due to this. no one should have to get there over 1 hour ahead of time to take a tour. let them prepay and if they are not all there that is there problem if they miss it you already have there money. who cares...

  • May A.

    The company took the whole Kirkland team out to lunch today to welcome a couple of new employees. I don't drink beer but was impressed with the Brewery. I was fortunate that they had a small wine list to satisfy my taste buds. The food was decent nothing out of the ordinary - we were a large team and had to occupy two tables. I was disappointed that the waitress didn't accommodate the team together but treated the two tables separately this cost problems because the other table got their food before ours and they were half way finished before we received our food then the other table was getting ready to leave before we even finished. This was very disappointing!

    (3)

  • Jeremy D.

    Great beer. Definitely one of my favorite breweries. It has a very "lodge"-like feel, it's very spacious, has a fireplace inside, cool patio outside, and a great range of events that go on year-round. They have comedy nights, trivia nights, and the Moonlight Movie Cinema every Thursday during the summer. (I'd highly recommend going to at least one of these - it's one of the largest outside movies that I've ever been to. Hundreds of people come every week). The food is decent,nothing to brag about. They had a wicked clam chowder though one night that I went. It was awesome. The tour is pretty sweet. I got hammered and a half with the help of my last one. If you like a laid-back drinking atmosphere, enjoy good brew, you will probably like this place.

    I did not go here for tour. I brought a date, was hoping to get a light meal and have some drinks on a Friday night. We arrived around 10, and to our surprise found out there would be stand up comedy. To my dissappointment, the kitchen was already closed. I was not surprised by this, but it sucked nonetheless. What really upset me was that our server came by the table around 11:30 in attempt to get us to close out our tab, as this place closes at midnight. MIDNIGHT?!? What the fuck, I thought this place was a bar. I might go back for a meal or the tour, but never again will I spend a Friday night there.

  • Danielle B.

    I would love to review the food here, but the waitress wouldn't let us order. My boyfriend and I got lost on our way over and arrived 10 minutes after our party. We asked for menus, but she would only give us the late night menu, and the rest of our party had gotten the full menu. The waitress tried to tell us that the kitchen was closed, but it obviously wasn't because our friends had JUST made their orders, and they had to be making their food somehow. We ended up having to sit and watch everyone eat since we didn't feel like having crappy bar food. What a ****.

  • Jen R.

    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.

  • K. G.

    Gosh, I want to write a good review for this place. Unfortunately, the restaurant is very loud (can hardly hear people at your table) and the food is OK at best (I've heard it's not prepared on-site, and it shows). If Redhook could bring their kitchen onside and expand the menu slightly they'd be making two big steps in the right direction. Meanwhile, my visits here are limited to about once a year based on the above observations.

    My wife and I had lunch here and I took a chance on the portobello mushroom with seasonal veg. It was the best portobello mushroom I've ever had hands down! The price was great (we had an entertainment book 2 for 1 coupon) but the food was much better than you'd think for a pub atmosphere. We did the brewery tour after which cost $1, and you got 5 small beers and got to keep the glass. Great food, great beer, $1 for a glass and a whole lot of beer. It's just a great place to go, especially if you want to bring people from out of town.

    (5)

  • Francisco A.

    Now that I think about it, the food here is actually kind of sucky. Regardless, I love sitting on their patio during the summer and drinking a cold beer and staring out at the field. If they had better food, this would be the perfect place to hang out.

    (2)

  • Tammy V.

    i feel like a 3 star is too little yet a 4 star is too much...3 1/2 it is. there is nothing that bad about redhook, its just the food isn't great. the food did not convince me that i ever needed to go back to this place...but - the atmosphere was good. they have trivia nights on tuesdays end up being pretty fun. especially if you're eating outdoors where it has potential to be a very fun place to be on a summers nights. i, unfortunately was there when it rained but i'm not going to take a star off due to weather! ps they serve chips (think Tim's Cascade chips) instead of fries with their food.

    (3)

  • Milo D.

    This is a good place to go during the summer months. They have a huge patio and large tables for you and a few friends. The beer selection is good of course. The food is good, probably not the best but not the worst either. It's not the kind of place I go for the food, more for the beer

  • Sarah S.

    beer makes things more fun. i took my mother here. yes, my mother- but she likes beer and i needed a driver. she also had a good time, the beer samples were enough to get here a little tipsy so then we had to eat. the beer was good, the food was mediocre, and the atmosphere was ok. i've been on better tours, but they give you a decent amount of beer. they have a nice patio, so if the weather had been nicer it would have been cool to sit outside. the people were a mix, i think some business-type people, some tourists and some randoms...

  • M T.

    Good beer, okay food, terrible service. Maybe this was a one-time occurrence, but I don't feel the need to spend my money here again. Our server refused to serve beer to one of my friends, even though she had her ID (which was completely valid, not expired, NOT fake, etc). He claimed that the picture didn't look enough like her, and even though she had numerous other forms of ID (student ID card, credit cards, etc). He obviously needed a lesson in how to check an ID. Needless to say, those of us who got our beers finished them, paid, and left. It's one thing to question an ID, it's another thing to completely embarrass someone in the process. I'll still buy their beer, but I'd definitely pass on eating here.

    (1)

  • Sarah M.

    Perfect on a summer evening (summer because I have to have Sunrye, which is only offered in the summer) sitting on the deck drinking. I highly recommend the appetizer plate with caper berries, salami, cheese, and a smorgasbord of other yummy items. They have live music on the weekends as well.

    (4)

  • Sara W.

    Great beer, great food and great location! I really like to hang out here during the week because it isn't crowded. Red Hook has a reputation for being one of the most crowded places ever. And to top it off, the wait is often 45 minutes to over an hour!!!! In the summer they also show movies off the back patio.

    (4)

  • S S.

    I think this place is overrated. It's ALWAYS crowded, which means there's almost always some kind of a wait. However, there's plenty of parking. Food is mediocre and they don't have a variety of vegetarian items. Their beer samplers are good, though. I don't think it's worth the drive to go to this place for food, unless you're doing the tour of the brewery.

    Love Redhook, and here is why...Redhook Blonde ale! I just moved here a few weeks ago and one of the first places I wanted to go was the redhook brewery, so I convinced my room mate to make the journey into woodinville. It was like a tuesday so business was slow. I loved the atmosphere, very fun! Our waiter was super nice and made us feel welcome. we both got the sampler and got to try the slim chance which I am very sad to announce that slim chance is ... *tear* replacing red hook blonde. I did not like the slim chance. No flavor total poo. We ordered the half size of the nachos. They were huge and they were awesome! They had a ton of cheese which is a rare thing with restaurant nachos. and the salsa was bomb. then we got our sandwich . this is what brought the rating down a star. it was strange and very...wet. It came with chips which I would have loved if they were home made.. but no, they came from a bag. =[ all in all it was a fun experience. yay!

  • Maria C.

    Too crowded. Go, though, to take the brewery tour which is interesting, and once a winter I go for a Nut Brown Ale that's only offered in winter. Sounds like it would be fun in summer, but I haven't tried that yet.

    (3)

  • Gerald H.

    I'll buy that for a $1! You get a cool glass taster cup and about 30oz of different Redhook beer. WARNING: If you are not a beer drinker, you may not like this "tour". You go up to their tasting room (if you go on the later tours, prepare to make like a sardine) and there you donate your hard earned dollar and sample your first brew, usually the lighter one. You will spend most of the time in this room sampling the beers. If you go M-F, you can see the bottle machines going. On weekends depending on the guide, you can see the bottling machines but they are not on. You also go onto a small ledge where the tanks are. Pretty cool if you have never seen one before. The tour lasts about 1 hr, with 45 minutes of that spent in the tasting room. HINT: Take a designated driver and drink their beer (60oz for $2!) Also, take an earlier tour M-F to avoid the rush. The guides can sometimes be annoying but it is worth a $1 and an hr of your time. If you know someone that loves beer, take them here. If they like tours, take them elsewhere.

  • Robyn H.

    When its crowded its almost impossible to speak in a normal tone so be prepared to go home with a frog in your throat. The brews on tap are the usual good Redhook brands and the Winterhook is going to be coming out soon this autumn. All in all, its a long drive for something you can find closer to town.

    Take a tour of the brewery. Get samples of there Ballard Bass (or something like that) or their most popular IPA Pale Ale. Fun tour. Make sure you leave with a jug of fresh beer.

    Good vibe. Good beer. Waitress was awesome! I was visiting from Michigan and this place is on the "must return" list for our next trip. Got much more than the 6 samples from our waitress. I had them invent a nacho because I am a vegan and they made it special order no fuss at all. It was incredibly busy and that is a good thing. seems to be quite the destination for cyclists which rocks my face off. Plenty of bike parking!

    I've been going to Redhook repeatedly for years now. There's a reason for that which is my favorite four letter words when it comes to food- free beer tour. OK, it's not TOTALLY free because you have to pay $1 which buys you the glass (I think it's some WA law they can't just give the beer away.) The tour has remained consistent over the years- drink a beer, welcome to Redhook. Drink a beer, history or beer. Drink a beer the masher and all that. Drink a beer and the bottling facility. Then drink a beer. In under and hour and for only a dollar I walk, ney, stumble away a happy girl. Bonus I usually learn something and the guides are witty (but the jokes are always better towards the end... curious.) After taking the tour there is a full dining area. The food is OK, but hey when it comes to bar food it's along the better to soak up the booze. Tues is trivia night but you have to get there early is you want a table! Parking has never been a problem, even on the sunniest of weekends and it's right off the trail if you the biker/runner/powerwalker type. Oh, and if you're feeling like a particular lush, Redhook is conveniently located between two Chateau St Michelle and Columbia winery... just sayin

    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!

    I really enjoy Red hook beer... So since we were in the area, stopping at the brewery seemed like a good idea. We had a great little lunch at their pub. We had lunch outdoors. I suggest getting the beer sampler... Its only 5 bucks... We also ordered some Blond beers.. Yummy.. They have a pretty basic menu with sandwiches and a few entrees... Our food was good.. Can't complain... We didn't stay for the tour... It is only a dollar. Go for it... We would go back again. A big plus was that the weather was great...

    What can I say, I had a great time here. My background is as a former beer judge, so I have had my share of beer tasting. I wouldn't say the beer was memorable, but it was perfectly fine. We went on the brewery tour, which was only $1, and for that price, a ton of fun and a ton of beer. Yes, the tour guides have a let's get drunk kind of vibe, but hey, it was fun. Walk up to the area where the tour starts, drink some beer. Talk about the brewery history, have a beer. Talk about the beer-making process, have a beer. Look at the bottling area, have a beer. Answer some questions, drink more beer. Yeah, if you're a true beer connoisseur/snob, it's kind of amateur. I wouldn't say that the tour guide was all that knowledgeable on the intricacies of brewing. But hey, it's Red Hook, so in actuality it was better than I was expecting. We had the Copperhook, IPA, Winterhook, and Porter, and all were quite decent. Seriously, for a dollar, this is nothing to complain about! After the tour, we had dinner downstairs. It was typical brewpub food, no complaints, it was pretty good for what it was. Highly recommended if you're in the area.

    Always a good time, just crowded as can be - good beer selections, love the seasonals. The tour was nice, the food was great (the selection could be better), gotta love Tim's Cascade Chips with a Blonde on the side!!

  • A Q.

    Not a microbrewery in the usual "small, hole in the wall" sense but the tour is fun and a fantastic value and the food is surprisingly good. I don't get the hate for the couscous salads that come with most meals. It's cool, tasty, and something different. They don't serve fries because they don't have a fryolator. Why don't they have one of those? OK, you got me. Try the Italian chicken sandwich or the burger. For an appetizer, they serve great nachos and the hot pretzel is a classic. Trivia on Tuesdays is a lot of fun. $5 per team. There are several TVs now, too, and a great low table with comfortable chairs in one corner. If you've been to the Portsmouth, NH location, you'll recognize just about everything as the exteriors and pub layouts are very, very similar. Oddly, the only letdown for me is the beer. I'm just not too crazy about any of the regulars. I do like the Black Hook porter, which is not usually in stores but is at the restaurant, very much as well as the Late Harvest fall seasonal.

    we didn't bother eating here, so this review is for the tour only. i don't drink beer much anymore but my gf loves it. red hook's beer is a'ight--you know, better than a PBR but hasn't got a thing on Lagunitas. but the tour is perhaps the cheapest buzz around. the hour tour goes something like this: history of red hook, have a beer. look at machine where process starts, have a beer. discussion on seasonals, have a beer. look at tanks, have a beer. check out bottling area, have a beer. q&a, have a beer. not bad for $1...and you get to keep your tasting glass.

    Not the prime rib, unless you like blood-red meat even when asking for med-well, the cook staff sucks. I had ordered med-well, when I got something (like blood seeping out from underneath it) had me flip it over, well done one side, rare on the other. The attitude of the cook staff was worse than cooking. The place is nice, the wait staff nice. I've enjoyed other meals there and met one of my favorite local bands there.

    I've been to redhook a million times or so it seems. I love the concerts, the outdoor movies, the races, etc. I don't love the menu or the beer as much as some places, but I do make do. I love the outdoor seating. I aspire to run or ride my bike here from somewhere else someday, but so far this has yet to happen. I have done races that have started or ended here. I have taken the tour a dozen times. I try to bring all my out of town guests. Although apparently tours sell out so I will have to remember that in the future. Most recently I was quite impressed with my tour guide, if only I could remember his name. He even had a british play list for the tour and was full of tons of facts about both beer and redhook. I love the samples along the way, and the new take home glasses. I had wanted to get a meal before or after but the wait for a table was outrageous. I guess everyone wanted to have a beer on a nice saturday afternoon. I was looking forward to trying the puttanesca pasta, but some other day.

  • Samuel H.

    I love going to the Red Hook. The tour is where you really win here...you get to try all of the Red Hook beers for just $1. Enjoy the afternoon and stop off at some neighboring wineries for a great afternoon date! The restaurant itself can get very crowded...stay away on trivia or any other event night as you won't find a seat unless you arrive a few hours before the event starts. Other nights can be fun and it does have a great outdoor seating area in the summer! The food itself is OK. Nothing special and a relatively small selection...don't expect to get french fries as the kitchen is too small to make them. You must eat some Edamame though and get a good pitcher of beer. I promise you'll enjoy your evening!

  • Lydia K.

    I used to work for the Columbia Winery and my office was on top of the Red Hook building. I have a fondness for this place since a vast number of their pitchers got me through my misery at work. Plus, I was at Redhook for the big earthquake in 2001 (my first!), so Redhook will always have a special place in my heart. That said, the menu can either be great or god awful, depending on what time of year you catch them (and what you're in the mood for!). The beer is always good, the waitstaff is ok, but the atmosphere isn't the best. It's always crowded, tables seem squishy and squeezed together, and you can always hear the conversations at other tables. Plus there are far too many bicyclists here in the summer. Its annoying. I always want to like Redhook more than I do, and I always seem to go back for more. Overall, though, it's just kind of average.

  • A S.

    Redhook beer isn't very good. The tour is $1 and isn't too exciting. All of the samples were bad, as I expected. The guy doing the tour was nice, but there was some obnoxious jackass in the group who made it nearly intolerable. I wish the guy giving the tour would've told him to shut up after a while for the sake of everyone else. The food wasn't too bad, especially for the happy hour prices. It's worth going once, I guess, but I can't think of any reason I would want to go back. I would never buy Redhook at the store, so I don't know why I'd drive out of my way just to get it at the Brewery. Maybe they could compete somewhere that didn't have so many better choices, but in the NW, you've gotta do better.

  • Eva G.

    I'm not a huge fan of beer...ok...I'll have one at a place that has Stella or makes a good shandy..but this place serves up a nice blonde ale. Anyway..Tuesday is Trivia night and who says no to trivia? Especially when the MC is cute - as in college boy cute cause judging by his looks, he probably just graduated. The nachos are good - but pass on the meat..it's better without. I made fun that they had humus and pita but my pal ordered some and I was surprised. how good it was - but they should have toasted the pita. Warm pita is the best. Told her she could get the same at TJ's. Oh and the olives..they would have rocked my world if the pit has been removed. I mean com'on - chewing on those - I don't need a dentist appointment. Why did I remove a star...cause if you know week after week that your trivia night is packed...why don't you just let people reserve a table? I don't do well on trivia if I have to stand for 2 hours.

    Drinking beer at a brewery is like eating bread at a bakery both are best when fresh! Not a classic brewery atmosphere and the food is kind of 'healthy' stuff, not the traditional bad for you food that I love for those reasons I took away 1 star, (still fun). Note: I was there a few years ago so maybe the menu has changed. Of Note: The best brewery ***** to visit in the North West WAS the Thomas Kemper Brewery in Poulsbo WA. located in a North West Farm like location out side of Poulsbo WA. Fresh beer and Great food (bad for you kind) just a great overall experience. Bummer is they closed down in the early 2000's(Kemper still operates a larger brewery in the Seattle area)

  • Patrick B.

    During the tour the guide gives a brief but informative (for those that know nothing about Red Hook's history) spiel on the beer, brewery, business and founders. Finding out that Budweiser owns 32% (according to the guide) of Red Hook was interesting, but seeing the brewing area that looks just like Homer Simpson's work area in the nuclear plant was great. The brewery is quite polished and doesn't have the micro-feel that it probably used to before it was producing zillions of barrels of beer a year. Good times, good beer, and the restaurant has decent food and a pretty friendly staff. Oh, and stop by the winery next door if you're in the area anyway...2 birds, one stone, etc.

    I don't drink beer but this is a great hangout (good tour too) at a great location (right by the burke gilman trail). So for an avid runner (occasional & biker), this is an awesome place to meet up with friends after a work-out. Food is not all that fantastic but atmosphere is casual and lively.

  • El L.

    I have to give this place the 5 stars. It's got great beer and they always have events to keep folks coming back. Mike the bartendar and the rest of the staff are also down to earth and know about their beer. I have to say the comeback of the Nut Brown (Mudslinger) gives Redhook their 5 stars. Summer time movie nights after a ride on the burke-gilman is also very fun.

  • Chris R.

    The only reason I take away a star is the food. Dont come hungry and get the great cheese plate. The beer is great (duh). The tour is an amazing deal for $1 (Free if you get their coupon online). I hope you get the middle aged wacky-go-crazy-nuts lady for the tour, the rest seem kinda blah (yes, I've been more then once) In the summer the moonlight theaters rock and the summertime SunRye ale are great. Love the brewery layout and the ground. Just need to improve the eatery.

    Decided to check out Redhook with the girlfriend on a sunny Saturday evening a couple weeks back. The wait for outdoor seating was approx. 45 minutes, so we decided to eat indoors. The "tweener" hostess told us it would be 20-30 minutes for a table for two. We sat down in the couch directly in front of the hostess' podium. Half an hour had passed, couldn't be much longer right? WRONG! We noticed two sets of couples walk right in, and get seated immediately. My girlfriend asked me what was up, and I told her they probably had reservations? 5 minutes later, another couple walks right in, and the hostess seats them right away. I got suspicious and asked the hostess why those couples were seated before us. Thats when she admits to us about her little brain-fart, and says she totally forgot about us. FORGOT ABOUT US? We were sitting on the couch directly in front of the you! She even looked at us a few times during down times. So the hostess apologizes and promises we will get the next table. Oh wait, she forgot to mention it was the next table for TWO. So, minutes passed and several groups of 4-10 were walking in and being seated immediately. REALLY? You couldn't sit us at the open table for four to the right of us? Oh no, God forbid you lose income by sitting the two of us at a table meant for four. Lets just piss us off more by letting groups larger than us just walk right in, sit down and order away long before our table for two opens up. So our 20-30 minute wait ended up being a one hour and fifteen minute wait. By the time we had ordered our food, people who had walked in after us had already finished eating and were leaving. We finished our meal quickly and got out of there. Who would have thunk it, we had plans to be somewhere! I would love to give you a zero rating for that experience, but a one will do. Only because we love the beer and have for many years.

    I think we've been on this tour like 3x, but will definetly go again next time I am in Seattle. They have you try several types of beer (I always end up giving away some...IPA...no thanks!) Whenever people came to visit us, Red Hook was always a great place to take them. Can't rate the food because I'm too full just on the beer! I highly recommend if you are in the area (p.s. stop at Chateau Ste. Michelle's nearby too)

  • JoAnne C.

    Nice looking place in a nice area. Particularly like the small batch (beer) offerings and haven't had a disappointment there yet. The food is low-average, I'd say. It'll sop up alcohol but you'll probably forget what you ate by the next day. That said, I like big, noisy, high-spirited bars and Redhook definitely hits the mark on that. Not a place to propose to/break off with your girlfriend unless she's a lip-reader. Otherwise it all works. And the beer's worth the trip.

  • Pru i.

    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.

    I'm going to write two reviews here: (1) The restaurant: this place was jam packed, but the 45 minutes we were quoted for a table was actually only 15 minutes, so hey that's cool. The food was surprisingly good - both my husband and I had the chipotle chicken sandwich and highly recommend it. We didn't order beer at the restaurant because we knew we were going to get some samples on the tour. Which leads me to... (2) The tour: was not a tour, it was a tasting of several of their most common beers (in total we got around 12 ounces or so). We drove 45 minutes to get to this place expecting a tour of the brewery but instead we paid $1 to get shuttled into a room where a cheesy fratboy told us a teeny tiny bit about their brewing process, but then kept yelling "more beer!" and giving us samples. If Redhook had advertised this as a tasting, then that would have been fine, but in no circumstances should they call it a tour. We didn't leave the room we were in the whole time. There was even an option to go out onto a patio type thing to look at some of the facilities, but the tour guide was like "well, you could do that, or I could give you MORE BEER" and passed out the next sample. Also, I was really disappointed that they didn't provide samples of any of the dark or lesser known beers - instead, all the beers we tasted are well known and available on the east coast where we were visiting from. In contrast, Dogfish Head in Delaware always has really interesting beers that aren't widely available at the end of its tours. I can't believe we wasted an afternoon on this so-called tour.

  • Kali A.

    My coworkers & I did a brewery tour last Friday & we were entertained so much by David, our tour guide. He kept the crowd going while teaching us the process of the beer. For only $1 for the tour, you definitely get your money's worth & more!

  • Jeremy T.

    Environment/Service: 3 Stars Food: 2 Stars Booze: 4 Stars Summary: When the sun is shining, you can't beat their patio with a locally brewed beer, just skip the food and be ready to wait. Environment/Service: Located in the heart of the winery area of Woodinville, the spot colocates the brewery with a significant seat restaurant serving the brews. The wait is usually long at peak times (particularly when the weather is good and during the summer), service is hit or miss (sometimes great, sometimes apathetic). Their patio is great when the sun is out, but the sun turns this place into a zoo. Food: Typical pub food with a bit of a Northwest flair. Usually takes a while and don't expect miracles, their kitchen is not where they're spending their capital (see the big liquid tanks in the back?)... Limited kids options (Kraft Mac and Cheese right out of the box), hamburgers are from frozen pucks, don't come here for the food. Booze: I'm a fan of the locally crafted beer, so I have a soft spot for folks that have been doing it as long as these guys. That said, they've fallen behind the creativity curve of some of their younger peers in the Northwest and their catalogue of craft brews is getting a little tired. I think they've settled into a comfortable volume play (their beers can be found anywhere in the NW) which limits their desire to be bold and inventive, which is a shame, they've let the pushing of the brewing envelope to the small shops in the area. Wine options are limited, but you don't go to a brewery for the grape, right?

    (3)

  • Shane B.

    Hands down the best craft brew in the business!!! If you are in the area you must go to the pub and go on the tour...It's a buck for about 2 pints worth of beer. Then you need to go to the pub and ask what is on Nitro......Right now they have Blackhook porter on Nitro....If you like Guinness, then you'll be blown away by this beer.

  • Kathleen L.

    I've been here quite a few times and every time it's been the same. Maybe its a fluke on their hosting staff.. maybe its just... i dont know.. but at this point its 3/3 for them. 1. Ambiance: Nice brewery. Small bar area and lots of room in the table area. Deco on the walls is what you would expect. 4/5 2. Service: Disappointing. Out of the three times I have been here, I have been told the same thing.. The wait is about 40-45 minutes. But when I look out onto the floor. There are tables upon tables that are empty. This is the weekend mind you, so I am expecting that the managers would schedule enough people to work. Anyway.. I am staring at empty tables and standing there waiting to get seated and scratching my head wondering.. 40-45 minutes? That can't be right.. I put my name down, just in case. Sure enough.. 40-45 minutes pass and we do get seated.. I've worked with que lines before and I know you are supposed to pad the time to accommodate those in line.. but when there are open tables and you are telling me its almost an hour wait.. I hope you have a reason why! If servers are strapped and stretched over tables. Tell me you are short staffed. Then I could chock it up to bad scheduling. But don't tell me its that long when there are plenty of tables and there are only 2 people ahead of me. First time: we went to the bar to wait.. While staring at those empty tables, we decided to just stay at the bar since the bartender was efficient and quick with our drinks and taking our order. Second time: group of 6. There were about 4 tables free to seat 6 people.. and yes we waited an hour. Third time: Group of 4. 40-50 wait. Tables everywhere! We went to the bar to wait.. Tried to sit at the fireplace mantle (where you obviously can't eat food) and we were told we have to have to hostess seat us there. EW. There was already a couple there, but we were not in their way or impeding on their space. We just wanted a place to sit down. Nope. Guess not. We ended up crossing our name off the list and walking out. Needless to say: 1/5 3. Food: The selection of food is GREAT! (If you can get a table). Portions are a good size, beer selection is great (obviously) and its all certainly fulfilling. I get the French dip with Mashed taters and a cesar salad.. yum yum yum! 4/5 4. Price: Average. Not uber expensive and food is worth the price. 4/5 Overall Feeling: Such a waste that good food is preempted by bad service. If they get their hostesses or system in check, I'll make an effort to come back out there. But until then, I'd rather make it out to a brewery/restaurant that has their stuff in order.

    Waitress was nice, place was nice, food looked great but did not get a chance to try it. I was there watching a playoff game and they said the policy was they could not put the audio on....what?? They had it on for the earlier game...kinda backwards to me, it was a playoff game not just a regular game for crying out loud.

  • Carrie H.

    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!

  • Amber B.

    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.

    I can't say I have ever eaten here, but their beer is superb. Red Hook ESB, Long Hammer and Balard IPA are all excellent. Their tour is somewhat limited in access to the actual brewery, but they make sure you get what you need. You get the story of Red Hook and samples of all their regular beers! Good vibe here too!

    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.

  • Will M.

    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.

    (2)

  • Shannon M.

    They have a great little tour you can take, which includes a cool little shot glass. Their food is pretty good, though if you get there at the peak dinner hour it's going to be hard to get a table. Love the events they do like trivia night - but if you decide to do them get there early because space fills up fast! We love taking out of town-of-town guests here because it's always a big hit. If you enjoy biking you can also plan your bike trip to end here for drinks and food. It's a great location as well because you can hit up the surrounding wineries for more tours.

    I too went on the LivingSocial tour this past weekend. This was my favorite stop! The tour guide was HILARIOUS!! And the tour was fascinating although we didn't do much touring exactly....mostly just looking and drinking. What more would you want from a brewery tour, really?

  • Inna B.

    Go for the $1 tour!!!! It wasn't much of a tour in that we didn't actually walk around much, but the presenter was knowledgeable and amusing. Plus you have a chance to taste about 3-4 beers while listening (and get to keep the glass). I was feeling quite tipsy on the way downstairs for lunch (my group went to Chateau St. Michelle before coming here), but the food was tasty and settled me down (somewhat). I don't generally even like beer, but I had a blast and actually enjoyed it.

    Skip the food. It's really nothing special and serious cash. It is actually possible to order a $20 salad and a $10 bratwurst here. Looking over the menu did prompt an ordering philosophical discussion however. Why are half orders like 7/8ths of the price? Why do they punish the not-very-hungry? Why not just sell half an order? Appreciate the expansive estate. Have a brew out back. They have tours of the brewery for $1 that includes tastes and a souvenir. It's worth the trip.

    This is one of the coolest places to go if you like beer. For a minimal price(I think around a buck), you get to tour their brewing facilities and sample all of the beers. Also, the guy who led our tour was hilarious and you could tell he really enjoyed his job. As far as the beer itself, Redhook is not my favorite, but it's a solid, respectable beer. I highly recommend taking a tourist here and make a day out of it by taking them to the nearby wineries as well.

    Brewery tour isn't exactly a tour, but it is about the best beer tasting you could ask for when you are only paying $1. The "guide" was hilarious and interactive- drank a lot of free beer and learned a little bit too.

    The tour was alot of fun! for 1 dollar i got to sample many beers of different kinds. By the time the presenter was finished speaking about the history and facts of their company, I was pretty drunk. My one dollar was the best dollar spent!

    Holy cow! I love coming to the Redhook Brewery! We don't live in the area, so we usually make the winery rounds and then hit up the brewery. The tour is always a blast, regardless of how many times you've been. The tour is the reason for the 5-stars. For a whopping $1, you get five five ounce tastes. It's Redhook, so it's always going to be good. In the past, the taster glass was just a little taster glass, a cool souvenir. However, the last visit it seems like they've changed up things. Still got to taste a bunch of beers, but instead of the taster glass, they gave you a plastic cup. At first I was like, what, they've cheaped out on us? Heck no, you trade in that flimsy plastic cup for a rad glass at the end. Not the typical pint glass, but still 16oz. The tour is really, really fun and I highly recommend it. Whenever we finish the tour, we always have dinner at the Brewery. They change stuff on the menu all the time, but have some items that are always there, like the pulled pork sandwich. We usually get some sort of appetizer. One of the last times we were there, we had an antipasto app, it was delicious. They usually have some sort of cheese appetizer. I love cheese, so this is totally fine by me. I generally get some sort of turkey sandwich here. I like turkey. I like sandwiches. It's all good. They serve the sandwich with Tim's chips, which aren't really my favorite but I so love some crunch with my sandwich. We always get a pitcher of beer. It's usually just 3 of us, but this last time it was 4. It's definitely a better deal to get a pitcher to share than to order individual beers. All in all, I would say this is a super awesome place to visit occasionally. It's a really great place to take your visiting family or friends. It's also a great place to get a bunch of beer for $1.

    This is, by far, one of my favorite places. I love all of the Redhook brews - I'll even drink the Longhammer IPA, although I loathe IPA's. Even I respect it's IPA goodness. Hubby and I went on this tour so many times, we now give away the Random Toasters because we have so many...3 different glass designs and counting. We own the Redhook Trivia, so if you go on the tour, you better hope we're not in town visiting friends because you'll get pwned. Oh - if you're military, let the tour guide know. We've had many a free tastings due to my husband's active duty status. On a final note: Lutefisk, lutefisk, lefse, lefse! We're from Ballard, Ya Sure, Ya Betcha!

    I love the setting of this place. It's really a neat place to go. We popped in on the first spring day Seattle had seen in 2011 and it seems everyone else had the same idea. We waited almost an hour for a table! YIKES! The waiter was not very attentive....at one point we almost walked out because we were getting ignored.....but we ordered the beer sampler and then from their decided on a pitcher. We gobbled it down and ordered some chips with guacamole and salsa. Despite the off night on the service I would certainly come back here. The brewery has such a lovely setting and makes for a nice evening out.

    this is a standard deviation of two numbers: 5 stars for how awesome this place as a whole is - the restaurant, brew tour (radical!), zillions of fun access able events for the public - very cool! I give 2 for the service we received recently. (Yes, I know it should be 3.5 but yelp doesn't allow halfsies so 3 will do). Service here is usually pretty good but when we recently went, I don't know if it was the surprise of the sun or what but it seemed like their entire outdoor staff was in a bad mood. They were not uncharacteristically busy, nor did they appear understaffed. Our waitress 1) didn't check on us after initial seating until 15 min later when we asked the bus boy (he gets 5 stars) for water 2) appeared to be annoyed at our existence 3) didn't crack a smile 4) actually made an audible grunt. Leave you personal baggage at home people and don't take whatever ails you out on your customers!!! My boyfriend is a former waiter and even he said "no tip." Which usually we're about the 20--23%ers. We had to ask for our check, she walked around holding it for 5 minutes before she swiped it, then came back with the wrong book, no card, took another 5 minutes. UGH!!! It was irritating. We had a post brew tour experience that was also very --- sad. The person in charge of the floor actually went around being table nazi (i can see this from both sides) but actually started asking people who were seated properly to leave because she though they were squelching others tables, and then she didn't even apologize! If it weren't for how fun their $1 brew tours (you get 5 free tasting!) are, this would get a 1. Fries - AWESOME! perfectly crisp and delicious

    From one Blonde to another, their beer is delish. Love the seasonals. Can't beat the fun atmosphere, and the flowing pitchers. However the food is really not good. I mean really not good. However it IS a brewery, and that shouldn't be your priority anyway. ;) Hey also as a side note, if you like live music-- you may need to order a few extra pitchers because they have bands come play a lot, mostly on weekends. And they aren't good. Bunch of old dudes rocking out like they should be in their basements. Beer rocks. Especially the blonde.

    OVERRATED. I've never been a fan of Redhook beers. But what the hell, it's within 10 minutes driving distance of my house. I've tried several times to make this a local haunt, but the beer sucks. VENUE: It's in the Sammamish Valley surrounded by wineries. The landscaping as you ascend their driveway gives the feel like you should've packed your bags before coming to this chateau. And the first time seeing the brewery I was wondering if this Hofbrau looking place was the right spot. DECOR: The Forecasters Pub (the onsite brewpub) lacks creative vision. There is a major flaw in the seating in the NW section where these massive beams come into the center of a round table. There are west facing windows which provide a great view of the sky if it weren't for those O2 sucking trees in the way. Actually, they have a very nice piece of property. The outside impressed me more than the inside. PATIO: They have a deck on the north side of the brewpub. It's a nice deck, really, leaving the view wide open for those summer sunsets. This is a big plus for the venue. AMBIENCE: It's where the stuffy people come to loosen up. I've caught a couple of cover bands that go retro bar rock. On more than one occasion I've seen the patrons get down and dance (good job, bands); But there is a weird aura of the past resurfacing to create a feeling of a high school reunion dance. This is not my scene, but I will say the people get down on the weekends here. FOOD: I've had a few appetizers. The menu doesn't look interesting so I've never tried it. BEER: Ugh, the fact that they're too lazy to name their beers is an indicator of a lack of creative talent. Okay, so a couple of them have names, but really? I'm at Redhook and I can choose Copperhook or Winterhook? Their beers are awful. I really have tried to find something drinkable because it would be nice to have a brewery in my neighborhood I can visit regularly. But no can do. SERVICE: The waiting staff that services the floor are great. No complaints here. However, I did have a bad experience with the bartender who was a bit of an ass. My friend asked for a Hefeweizen and the guy said they don't sell Hefes. Hey, douchebag, you have a Wit...why can't you suggest a wheat beer when you don't sell wheat beers? He was an ass to everybody and even got so wrapped up in closing he didn't even think of squaring our tab. Even though we didn't pay, we still felt ripped off. I would avoid bar service, the floor service is far better. I really, really tried to like this place because I wanted to find a regular spot at the neighborhood brewpub. No thanks, I'll go drive somewhere else.

    Disappointing. I've been to a couple of large events here in their upstairs event space and was not impressed. At each event (about 2 years apart, mind you) the AC was "broken", at this point I suspect that it doesn't even exist. The worst part by far was the "service" we received at the event I most recently attended. The attitudes of the event staff and the management was so bad that I'm embarrassed for them. Call me old fashioned, but I don't think it's appropriate for management or staff to refer to patrons as "douche-bags" and make a sweeping decision to cut an entire group of 100+ people off. Needless to say, I will not be back.

    Redhook Brewery has a great tour - whether or not you want to listen to the hour long spiel about their history, you'll get to be drinking beer the whole time. By the end of the hour we had consumed the equivalent of 3 beers, gotten tipsy, & received a Redhook glass cup all for just $1...honestly, how can you beat that? I thought our tour guide did a great job of giving fun information. The "tour" doesn't really go anywhere - we stayed in 1 room most of the time with a quick walk into the fermentation room. You can kind of wander around the brewery building outside on your own, but there isn't much to see. Anytime I end up back in the area, I'm sure I will pop in for another tour & be able to answer the tour trivia questions correctly (which equals more free beer...yay).

  • Kristin C.

    I have been here a couple times for the "Geeks who drink" Quiz nights and I have also done the Brewery Tour. The Brewery Tour is fun, and interesting. For $1 it's a great deal. You get to learn about the history of the brewery, and the process of making the beers, in addition to trying 6 different kinds of beer. However though, there are way too many people on the tour. The reason it takes an hour isn't because you are getting that much info and beer, but it's because the tour guide is also the one pouring all the beer for 50+ people. I would actually prefer paying a bit more to have a smaller tour group, with more info and more beer. I love the beer. I don't think I have had a Redhook beer I haven't liked. It's a great "craft" beer for a new or infrequent beer drinker. My parents are used to the likes of bud light and corona, with the occasional hefeweizen, but I brought them here for the tour and they loved the beer. My favorite is the Copperhook. It's one of the few beers I can drink straight out of the bottle. At the brewery itself though, I like to order the Wit(because its good on tap, but not out of the bottle). The food though leaves a lot to be desired. I have had the french dip sandwich and the mac n cheese. The french dip is good, but I wouldn't order the mac n cheese again. They don't have french fries, which I am fine with, but in the summer when they are "really busy" the only option you have is chips. I'm sorry but I am not ok with paying $11 for a sandwich for it to come with a side of chips. Other times of the year you can get potato salad, which is quite good, but having chips as the only option is pathetic. You can add a salad for $2, but I find that to be unfair and too expensive for the quality of the food that you get. It sounds to me that they are just a bit lazy. I'd come here again for the Tour if I have out of town guests, or to the Quiz nights if they have another fun Quiz like the Harry Potter Quiz, but other than that, I will definitely avoid this place. It's too big and commercialized, and for a "Brewpub" just isn't worth the price for the lack of quality food, plus I can find most of their beers in the grocery store or at other restaurants with better food.

    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?

    Normally, I'm a bigger fan of local micro-breweries, but since I grew up drinking Red Hook beer I must admit...I really enjoy their brewery. Red Hook is a classic example of craft beer success in the Northwest. We've all drank it: some love it, some don't: but most can agree that the Woodinville Brewery provides a solid array of limited Red Hook Releases (off the menu, gotta ask your servers; I'm a huge fan of their 10.2% Belgium Trippel), some great outdoor Movies, bike-friendly location, good food (Forecasters)...and one of the best, most affordable educations on the planet---The Red Hook Brewery Tour $1/person. Most importantly--- Red Hook has gotten people talking about something other than wine in Woodinville. BEER!!! ---Woodinville has at least 4 Microbreweries located within minutes of the Red Hook location and more in the works. Go check 'em out...these little guys make some Big--Badass--Beers!!!

    Nice place to stop for lunch while riding through the Burke trail. Outdoor seating during the summer months is nice. The food is your typical brewery selection. Definitely a fun destination for out of towners and locals alike. It's nice that it is near the Columbia Winery & Chateau St. Michelle for those group of friends or family who prefer wine over beer. At least you have the both options and do not have to travel far for either. Try the $1 tour. Definitely worth the value.

  • Anne N.

    Came here for lunch and for the $1 brewery tour. There's really not much to say about the food. I had the Turkey B.L.A.S.T. but ended up throwing away the croissant because it was dense and stale. My friend had the California burger but the cook forgot to add the guacamole. It could have been worse I suppose. The tour portion was the main reason we drove out to Woodinville. Where else can you get 20 oz of beer AND learn about brewing all for just ONE DOLLER? Money well spent if you ask me. We tried the ESB, Copperhead (my favorite), IPA, Pilsner..sniffed some hops, and munched on some roasted grains. After the tour, I bought myself a 64 fluid oz growler. Not quite sure what I'm going to use it for....but it is a pretty neat souvenir!

    As a little know fact, or at least to us it was, but Redhook has an amazing banquet room with a full bar upstairs near their tour gallery, that they rent out for events. With getting married in January, an outside wedding was out of the option, so we started the search. Every other venue is way over priced, and has too many restrictions, and not enough options. Redhook was PERFECT!! From the initial emails, to planning, to day of ceremony and reception; it all went flawlessly. Our guests raved about the food, the beer, and the atmosphere. Andrea, the wedding/event coordinator there, was extremely helpful in giving us options and advice as we got ready for the big day. Then the day of coordinator and bar keeper followed up to deliver an exceptional event for us and our guests. I would highly recommend Redhook to anyone weather it be for a wedding, corporate event, sports team party, or even just dinner down in the regular bar. They made us feel like family and we will continue to come back time and time again.

    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.

    We didn't go on a tour of the brewery so I am only rating the restaurant. It's as generic as generic can be. It's crowded and fells like a food court in the mall. It's how I imagine a "Chilis" to be.

    A Seattle-area institution, Redhook continues to evolve with the times to keep on the cutting-edge of craft brewing and the brewery experience. I have been frequenting these halls for over eight years, and it is still easy to find reasons for coming back. From special brew release parties to outdoor concerts and movies on the lawn, true beer lovers (and anyone who's got a pulse) can expect great beer and fun times at any of the numerous events throughout the year. Come in any other time to sample unique brews available only in the pub, and order something delicious from their amazing appetizers to their signature dishes that all have their own special flair. One of my favorites is the spinach steak salad. And to cure a case of the munchies, I highly recommend the pretzel appetizer with cheese sauce. If you are visiting the area from out of town, you MUST stop in for an afternoon for a brewery tour (with the most amazing tour guides) then follow it up with a late lunch or some dinner in the Forecaster's Pub. Bring your camera, your appetite, and your thirst for craft beer. You can thank me later!

    I thought it was pretty good. Decent enough food for a brewery. Beer (ordered the sampler) was about as fresh as I've had - not the least bit skunky. The sandwiches with bacon include slices of the thickest, most awesome bacon I've ever had. I also read some other review that criticizes the table held by the beams. My group sat at that table. I doubt that was a mistake or even strictly needed structurally. It was a visual design choice that's supposed to look similar to those triangular things they have hanging from the ceiling. They have a similar table at their brewpub in Portsmouth, NH, although that one uses a square tabletop rather than a round one. They also had a $5 kids menu (don't remember all the choices, but it included a kid's burger or mac & cheese) along with a drink and apple slices. They also take Passport Unlimited cards (I guess mostly Microsoft Prime around here) which makes it a real bargain if you don't have a large party (they'll only take two max per party).

    Every year we visit Redhook. Never again. We were told there were too many other big parties and felt that they didn't want to seat us. There were clearly several seats available EMPTY. Too bad Redhook missed out on a couple hundred dollars worth of business.

    Ok, so the Forecaster Pub now has french fries. Yay, but that is the only good thing I can say about this place. My husband and I used to make this a regular stop during our bike rides on the Sammamish River Trail. It was actually the destination and the reason that I bothered to get on my bike! It was always odd to me that they didn't offer french fries. But it didn't matter to me because I always got the flat iron steak with veggies and it delicious. Fast forward past the remodel and now there are french fries as a side. My husband ordered the ESB Burger ($13) and I ordered the Bratwurst ($11). The food came out in a timely manner so we were pleased with that. My husband immediately noticed that the beef patty on his burger was perfectly formed with perfect edges. Like the frozen patties found at Costco. It was confirmed when he bit into it that it was a previously frozen patty. The meat was rubbery, chewy, and dry. Now that we think about it, the waitress never did ask how he wanted his burger cooked. My Bratwurst was good, but you could taste that the sauerkraut was from a can. Not sure that most people would care, but I noticed. The fries were perfectly cut and perfectly cooked. Easily the best part of our meal. While I'm snarking, I'm going to mention that when we walked in, there were 3 greeters standing at the podium. I made eye contact with the middle one and smiled and she didn't return my smile. I then assumed that she was a customer waiting for service or a friend or something and didn't think much of it. Then the greeter on the right greeted us and asked us how many people were in our party. She led us out to the patio and the middle greeter that didn't bother to acknowledge my existence followed the other greter out who was leading us to the patio. ???? Weird. As far as we're concerned, the latest renovation added a fryer and more freezer space (at least for the burgers and possibly for their brand new french fries.) Next time we're on the Sammamish River trail, we'll be packing our own food. TYVM.

    4/5 Stars, State Rating. Updated rating as of 10/12/2013. Well, things are beginning to settle down after a major remodel and overhaul. They've hired a first rate manager and seem more receptive to feedback. There's a good selection of beers including guest taps. The atmosphere is pretty good and great on sunny days when you will be able to eat out on a large patio. Service is quick and friendly since the remodel. The kitchen is massively larger than it used to be which helps both on the time it takes to be served and the time to be seated. This is still a works in progress. The burgers need to be better. If you plan on ordering a burger get the Kobe burger. It's the only decent one on the menu, albeit $2 more than the others. Order it pink on the inside and make sure that it is or send it back. (*Note - I attempt to make all my ratings more relevant by rating them within a defined region, be it World, Country, State/Geographical Region or City)

    There's a $1.00 beer tour here, and it was FUN; especially the part where we got to try all the beers. The tour guide was very witty and knew his beer, and had fun serving us beer. Let's put it this way, for $1.00 you get to try about 5 beers that Red Hook brews, and you get to see the assembly line, it helps the drinker appreciate how much a beer goes through just to reach your lips. Will definitely go here again when I come back to Washington.

    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.

    This was a pretty solid brewery tour, in terms of tastings. $1 gets you five 5oz. pours of beer. It's not much of an actual tour - you basically stand in the little room for an hour, looking at various things. I would give it three stars, except my tour guide (Kevin), was just plain awesome. I learned the difference between an initialism and an acronym. ("ESB is an initialism because you actually say each initial when you say it. An acronym is when you turn the initials into a word, like NASA, or MILF.") The drive up was pretty nice, too. You can build a case for $1/beer to take home. Not bad, not bad.

    Four of us headed out to Redhook for an evening of saying good-bye to a good friend who is moving out of state. We didn't take the tour, so this review is for the pub only. We chose the patio since the evening was balmy and just breezy enough to feel great. Our waitress was welcoming and prompt with our orders. The Wit is my seasonal favorite - I'll be sorry to see it go. The burgers were good, as was the edemame appetizer. The concert music filtering down from Ste. Michelle = great and all was well until..... .....a big scurvy rat began cruising the patio....yikes! We understand, in theory, why the rat is there - Sammamish River nearby. Still, an unnerving experience and the question "Does it have access to the kitchen?" lurked in our heads. A staff member did chase it away with a broom but the bugger returned just a few minutes later. So, I've got to take away 1 star for the rat.

    Awesome tour and beer tasting! I visited on a whim, since I was already driving in the area. It's rare that I venture this far east. I'm glad I did. The tour of the brewery and the bottling plant was very interesting. It was also great that they had all of their offerings for tasting. I'm a fan of their ESB (Extra Special Bitter). I also loved the history of the company and their ties with Seattle (The original brewery is now Frans chocolates in Fremont. Overall a great experience.

    Used to love going to this place. The new renovation makes it looks like a big box. Even though the old bar was always crowded, it had a good feel to it. The new bar is set up very oddly - the tables butt right up again the restaurant customers. I don't think the renovation was an improvement at all. As for the food and the service (12/9/13), the food was a basic scoop of hummus, very plain and no thought to the presentation. The bartender was great with her obvious regulars, but quite ordinary with us. I'm afraid I won't be back any time soon.

    This is a review on the layout and the atmosphere. Not on the service and or the beer. I was there for Devo for the 30th B-day bash that the Brewery was holding. The event had some hit and misses. This is not a show review, however, I am hoping that by posting on yelp someone from the company will read this to ensure that the next celebration has some kinks worked out. 1. They sold mostly beer, little water = bad idea for 95% of the people whom had to drive there to the venue. 2. Set changes were a bit too long, more likely to sell more beer which was understandable, however, promoted possible drinking and driving. 3. Hundreds of people and only less than 20 port a pots. 4. In terms of food vendors = hamburger and chips...that is it. 5. Merch for bands were put on the table late, more likely so people walking by would buy beer instead. 6. Security check was lacking. At a real show, even for rain, no one would be allowed to bring an umbrella to the show which encouraged these assholes whom decided not to wear a poncho to instead block the view of most of the people at the show. There is more........

    The place is huge and the service was great. Just so many other places with really good beer. 3 stars for beer and 4 star service.

    This place is pretty solid. The food is quite what I expected it to be, nothing quite jumped out at me, but then again, nothing was wrong. I would say, the food is comforting and the beer is the nice little pat on the back. Besides, if you go to a brewery for beer that you like, you generally don't go for the food. The tour was enjoyable, especially for $1. The beer I enjoyed, the food, it did it's job, kept me alive.

    Usually crowded and overpriced. Where the Eastside egomaniacs go to feel trendy. No thanks.

    Positives: $1 tour, Seafood chowder. Though Red Hood is considered the "Budweiser of Craft Brews," I actually had a great time at this little brewery. It was a lot smaller and more quaint than I had expected and the food was solid. The seafood chowder had lots of big chunks of clams, salmon, shrimp, and other seafood, perfect for a rainy Washington afternoon. The hour long $1 tour was awesome! Very well planned and designed for scalability, the tour was structured as such: Beer, then History, then Beer, then more Information, then more Beer, etc,.. Our tour guide was hilarious, and the tour took place in a singular room and a half, so is also great for folks wearing less than comfortable shoes.

    The TOUR! A great bit of weekend fun! I mean really, can't go wrong spending an hour drinking samples of beer and hanging out. I hear that the restaurant is kind of a ripoff, so maybe head out of the area a bit, something like Teddy's burgers if you want something serious... For $1, you get about 2 beers and a 5oz Red Hook glass to take home (hint: these glasses are $2 each in the gift shop.... get it?). So, do the tour. The tour guide was entertaining and knowledgeable, pretty interesting stuff, that Red Hook. Only detracting part is loud, obnoxious people who aren't really interested and talk over him... he goes, no kidding "Sir, you're the only one talking. Is that awkward for you or what?" Funny stuff. Check it out! Thanks for listening!

    The tour was great! Hilarious commentary, historical insight, and quite a nice amount of beer to go along with it! And only a dollar? WHAT? YES! Plus you get to take home the glass at the end! Some people brought their kids...WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU? Don't be one of those people. By the time we made our way down to the restaurant we were all pretty buzzed so the food tasted just fine to me, but to someone more umm..sober perhaps it wasn't all that. I didn't think the pricing of the restaurant was bad either. The waitress stiffed us on our change, but it only hurt her tip in the end.

    Meh. Meh. Super-meh. Sure the beer is good, the patio is a great place to hang out at, the $1 tour is a great deal and they have all kinds of fun events. The problem is the total meh food. The only reason we have suggested this with family is we get the second entree free. The burgers are OK but as other reviewers mentioned your only side option is chips. I've had plenty of other options like the BBQ pork and the mac and cheese and they are just mediocre. The mac and cheese is screaming for more cheese and the BBQ pork is just one-note boring giant pile of pork on a bun. I would have killed for some coleslaw or something. The balsamic salad dressing tastes like it is just that, balsamic and nothing else. Another super disappointment is the kids food. They have house made mac and cheese but when you order the kids meal it is kraft mac and cheese, potato chips, applesauce and oreos.

    What a fun place to get great beer and good food! And when you're tired of beer you can cross the street for some wine tasting, because Redhook Ale Brewery is next to all the wineries in Woodinville! Redhook is also a great place to start your biking trip. Last weekend was the annual "Haul Ash" bike ride and Redhook was the starting as well as end point for the ride. I usually don't drink before I start riding, but you can be sure that I threw down at least a couple after a 40+ mile ride to Fremont and back! There's also an outdoor concert after the ride. I usually get a hamburger at Redhook, but all of their food is generally good. It's just a great atmosphere there, with happy people in abundance. Summer s the best time to visit Redhook, as you can soak in the sun with your sunglasses on in the outdoor seating area while enjoying good food and beer... and more beer! :)

    Outdoor movies coming soon! Can't wait. Always been a fan of Redhook. No french fries. Huh? Although no deep fryer is the healthiest option, I sure miss having those fries with a burger. Easy seating.Good for groups. Lots of plasma TVs on the wall- makes for a dude friendly setting. Not so much for an intimate date. FYI. Great Menu. Great Brews. I will always go back here for lots of reasons. And you will too! The Copperhook and the Mudslinger are two worth trying.

  • Brian L.

    I've been here a few times and each time the food has been good. Sizes are a little surprising (read: small) but I always leave full so no complaints so far (but never any leftovers). The beer is decent, they have a CDA (Cascadian Dark Ale or Black IPA) on tap which was pretty good. For those who say the beer is "overpriced" or "expensive" please realize where you are eating. This isn't a dive or a grocery store or a liquor store. $4.50 is a very average price for a good beer in my opinion.

  • Deb D.

    Went on the tour of the brewery after we had lunch in the restaurant. The tour was so much fun. The tour host was very entertaining, got to taste a lot of beer, and learned a lot. Love my 5 oz. Redhook beer shot glass that you get to take home.

  • Amanda S.

    This review is for the brewery tour, not the restaurant. I don't think they should call it a "tour" because you basically stand in one room the whole time with about 50 other people. Your guide tells you the history of the company and some of the beers that they have on tap. I was disappointed because I wanted to take an actual tour and walk around and see the place! However, because it was just a buck for an hour history lesson and five 3oz beer samples (and you get to keep the glass!) it was a great way to spend an afternoon with my man. The tour guide was really funny and at the end of the tour he gave everyone an extra fill-up of their favorite brew.

  • Kanoe K.

    Oh yes ... a brewery!! I will admit that my friends and I stopped into this place after visiting 3 wineries and their wine tastings before. Therefore our first stop was the bar ... to order food (fooled you huh :D) I'd heard the food here was good as well as the beer and I was not disappointed. We only had time to grab something quick to eat from the "hoppy hour" menu, but everything was delicious!! Okay on to the most important stuff ... BEER!! So as others have stated ... the tour is $1.00 ... $1.00!!!! Can't beat that price!!! You also get to keep the tasting glass ... FREE. I don't even remember all the beers I tried, but they were all so good. FINAL VERDICT: Take your friends and make a day trip out to Woodinville! Visit the wineries and definitely stop in here to get some food to rejuvenate yourself for the rest of your tour!!

  • Farzeen J.

    My brother, boyfriend and I went there for lunch after doing several wine tastings around woodinville. The food was mediocre and the service did not make up for it... We ordered a cheese plate, two burgers, a salmon sandwich, and a winter ale. ($60 bucks and some change for all that) The cheese that came out were purple and green, which totally weirded me out... esp because they were neon in color.... (WTH!?) We asked our server, and she told us that one of them was a sage cheese, and the other, she did not know... and would inform us after she found out. That never happened. We asked for one of our burgers to be cooked medium, and that didn't happen either. The food runner just told us that the kitchen cooked them both medium well. I hear that the 1 dollar tours are great. But I guess they are only able to do that because their lunches are a GREAT BIG RIPOFF!!!!

  • Matt V.

    Great patio on a nice day OK food great beer service was fine SO BUMMED they don't have fries or even onion rings. That is a must for me when I go to a brewery. Yeah, I know they're bad things...but I love fried food :)

  • Jennifer C.

    Way cheap for the tour and some good freakin beer. I loved them all. The tour guide we had was probably the best tour guide I've had at a brewery ever. They let you try 5 different beers and you get an extra one of your choice at the end. For $1 and the amount of beer you get to try, it's definitely worth going to.

    (4)

  • Kate A.

    The food and bewery tour were amazing! I had the house salad and french dip. They don't use ice berg lettuce which is always a plus when ordering a salad. The bewery tour was a great deal. For only a $1 you get to taste five beers!

    Visited this place Halloween weekend with a friend who was from out of town. $1 tours don't come often, yet Red Hook does a superb job of letting you in on their secret of brewing without being to stuffy or full of themselves. Our tour guide definitely knew this wasn't going to be his last job, as he spewed one fact after the other while stating he gets paid whether or not we like the beer. Pretty funny and entertaining as I am sure we all enjoyed the samples they gave (we received about 6-7!) Mega easy to get to from downtown Seattle, particularly for those familiar with a lot of the accessible wineries in the area. There are big screen tv's while you wait for the tour to begin, equipped with fireplaces, leather couches, and a attentive waitstaff (I'd highly suggest the "Winter Hook"). A great value and an excellent time especially for those visiting from out of town. Nothing too special compared to other brewery tours. Overall, you probably get the liquid equivalent of 1 1/2 beers and a free tasting glass. I'd definitely go back, just not by myself.

    Redhook Revisited! Well, I was there last Thursday. The weather was glorious, so I decided to take in some "deck dining life"...and motored my way on over. Lucky for me, a large percentage of folks here in Washington require a certain temperature index before they venture toward outdoor dining...and it was still a touch too warm for the masses. So....when I walked in, although the parking lot was filled to capacity, I still managed to score a great spot on the deck. The hostesses were very prompt and inviting. They asked me my preference of sun or shade and then seated me to my liking. Now, remember, I was there for the "ahhhhh-mbiance"...so no criticism on the fact that I went to a micro-brewery and ordered wine. My server was kind enough to suggest a nice light white wine to satisfy my hot summer day thirst. I also ordered a pretzel to go with, as I wasn't in the mood for a huge meal...you know how it is with hot weather... Overall, it was a great day...great service...and good food. As a bonus, I had fun watching a 7 month old baby across from me do the rockin'-out head bob with his right hand up in the air to the tune of Take Me Out... Sweet!

    One dollar Seattle beer tasting for 5 delicious beers starting from light to dark like IPA. We stumbled on this place on our way to the wine tasting and it turned out that I liked it better than the wine tasting we intended to go!! They have a great tasting/tour. There was not too much listening to the history of the beer but enough to learn about how the beer's made and the story of the brewery. I don't know about others, but I saw some people start spilling beer and I definitely get a bit tipsy after a big lunch. I didn't get to try their food but as far as the drinking is concern, this place is worth checking out.

  • Jamie T.

    The tour is not so much of a tour as it is a beer tasting with a few facts about the history of the brewery and a quick lesson in how beer is made. For the $1 cost of admission, you get to try 5 beers and keep your tasting glass! Like a previous yelper mentioned, on our last trip, we were given cheap plastic tasting cups instead of the souvenir tasting glass. At first I was disappointed, but at the end of the tour, she explained that for some reason they didn't order the tasting glasses, so she gave each of us a full-sized pint-glass. Score! I'm not much of a beer drinker, so I can't comment on the beer itself. Our tour guide was great, though. She was really funny, and I still enjoyed the tour even though I didn't drink much beer. We also ate in the restaurant while we were there. The portions are huge, and the food is pretty tasty. I was a little disappointed that they didn't have any fries to go with their burgers. It comes with a couscous salad, but I paid extra to get a caesar salad instead. The salad was disappointing, but the burger was good.

  • Dena R.

    Well this place ranks among the most laugh-our-whole-drive-home places. We paid the $1 to go on the beer "tour," which consisted of the host encouraging everyone to drink more than their fair share and if they couldn't handle the alcohol, then they had to dump their brew into the "bucket of shame" at which time he advised everyone to laugh and point at said inebriated and alcoholically weak person. Ridiculous! The incident reminded me of those low-scale hazing parties you hear of. I was just waiting for someone to take a leak in a corner. Silly! Call me uptight but I expect establishments to encourage responsible drinking and that includes not making fun of people who have different alcoholic thresholds. As for the food, tasted as though it was from Costco. The waitress was kind and brought water for my tea (that's my tell, so you know my tastes!) and veggies, which were sort of on the menu in the form of mashed potatoes and a side of broccoli. Broccoli was undercooked, but at least they had some veggies. Yes, I know, it's a meat/potato/beer gut kind of place... but given the location, seeded next to the Columbia winery, guests may be expecting a bit more class!

  • Felicia C.

    When visiting the wineries in Woodinville, don't forget to stop by Red Hook for beer tasting. Tours cost $1 for your glass tasting glass that you get to take home as a souvenir. Although the "tour" takes place in one room, host is entertaining while telling the story of Red Hook, punctuated by 4-5 beer tastings. It's quite a bit of beer!

  • Christine H.

    3.5 stars: 3 stars for the food and 4 stars for customer service, rounding up for the brew and location. I had to give it 3 stars for the food because, well, I love fries, and they don't serve ANYTHING fried here! (If they had served fries, I would have given it 4 stars.) That probably is a great thing for everyone's' waistlines, but when you're at a brewery drinking all sorts of ales, you sort of crave the greasy stuff. Having nothing fried sort of limits you on your menu selection. I ordered the chicken and white bean soup and the pita and hummus appetizer. Others in our group ordered the nachos and burgers. Overall, the food was good but nothing to write home about. I like pita and hummus wherever I go and haven't encountered a bad platter yet. Others thought their food was fine too.

  • Tony G.

    Come on out to Woodinville, my friends, and sample some delicious beer...for $1! And with that dollar you get your own mini glass and six tastings. That is a hell of a deal. Luckily I went with a bunch of friends who did not like IPA, so yours truly got 7 tastings of that beer alone. They have different beer for different seasons. I haven't tried them all but I came here awhile Halloween and sampled their Autumn Harvest beer, which I though was pretty tasty. Since it is a seasonal beer you can only get it in the fall. Next time I come here I will have to try their food...so I can drink more, of course. Zipzap Zubidy Bop!

    The tour started out great. Caleb was our guide, he was AWSOME. We decided to eat afterwords. It was busy but we were seated right away. I tried to use the ATM. I got a receipt but no cash. An error message that says see attendant. I talk to the manager Samantha. She says it's not our machine we can't help you. You need to e-mail some one else. He SHOULD be able to help you. I ask for a phone number when they gave me a number it leads no where. When I asked to talk to Samantha's boss, along comes Adam Riehl who claims he was the general manager. (The business card he provided did say that Adam was indeed the general manager). He assured me there was nothing he could do. So long story short, our day was ruined by our experience at red hook and the way they choose to handle it. The receipt I got from the ATM says red hook brewery, the entry on my bank statement shows red hook brewery, but there is nothing they can do when their machine malfunctions. There are plenty of other options, in Woodinville, don't waste you time or your money at Redhook.

    Yay! $1 for many pints of beer! awesome- The tour guide was awesome! she was so funny and did a very good job explaining to us the history of Redhook and the facility. I realized that there are more than just 'downtown seattle' tour in Puget Sound - i'll probably bring out-of-state visitors here as part of the 'Seattle-Tour' ;)

  • Tj W.

    Best place to take out of town visitors. $5 for tour and learn about beer and drink beer, including a free souvenir glass (used to be larger, but it keeps getting smaller...). But all my visitors always enjoy it. Then you follow up with eating lunch or dinner there. Food is tasty. Not bad. And drink more beer. Would I go just for the food ? No.... If I'm there for the tour, then yes... Outdoor seatings are nice. Great service. Beer is good. Food choices are limited but good, taste fresh. If you haven't been, then you must go at least once. And if you looking for something to do with your out of town friends....this is one of the must do!

    We had spent the earlier portion of the day hanging around the Seattle Center, where I hadn't been since October 2000, when the Mets knocked the Giants out of the playoffs and before the nation suffered through the embarrassment of the Presidential election the following month. While most of the names associated with that tourist trap endured, changes had indeed occurred - the Experience Music Project has devolved into a lowest common denominator type of attraction, while the Key Arena had shamefully lost the Supersonics. But the Space Needle remains the worst sort of tourist trap. My friend Ed has lived in Bellevue for most of his life, but this is the first time I'd visited him since the Y2K trip. In the meantime, both of us had gotten married, and he suggested a tour and a dinner at the Redhook. So, we met up in the parking lot outside the restaurant to greet each other, ask about the traffic and common acquaintances, and walked in. While we were the first group to arrive, others quickly filed in and by the time the tour started just after 4PM, we had a group of 20-25 beer enthusiasts. Most of the time on a beer tour, one is lucky to get four ounces of lukewarm ale, but this time was different - many different ales at greater quantities, all of them cold. Maybe I should do this more often, I'll just need to remember to bring somebody along who drives as well. Our host taught us a lot, too bad the knowledge evaporated along with whatever brain cells were killed during this tour. Afterwards we thought it'd be wise to sober up by having dinner at the restaurant. While the weather was nice, the stench arising from a nearby creek inspired us to go inside for further gossip and eats. I partook in a salmon pasta dish, and washed it down with yet another Red Hook (don't worry, we hung around long enough afterwards so that it wasn't a factor), and realized that neither of us really had room for dessert. Cost was reasonable, too. The Red Hook Brewery: A cheap entertainment/food option, but don't expect the outdoor aroma to be agreeable.

    My company held their summer picnic here so that gave me the opportunity to visit Redhook for the first time. The brewery is located in the middle of the Tourist District in Woodinville in between a couple wineries. Being situated in wine country gives Redhook a lot of space to work with. While there is the main brewery building where the brewpub and brewery are located, there is also a field where the brewery holds their Moonlight Cinema Series of outdoor movies. This space also serves as a private event area for the brewery and was the venue for the event I attended here. After turning into the brewery, make a turn to the left to reach the main parking lot. Though if you are attending a private event, there appears to be a parking area specifically for this including a parking attendant. At the event I attended, Redhook set up a burger truck. While on the other side of the field was a booth with a selection of their beers to choose from. I got their Californian burger which took a while, but was tasty. As for the brews, I tried the Long Hammer IPA which was just okay. Although the brewery offers a tour, I didn't end up trying it out. The tour is $5 and runs hourly. Having missed the last tour, I didn't want to wait for the next one so I skipped it. If a tour is not your thing, they do have a brewpub here to enjoy food and beer. Having not done the brewpub or tour, I feel like my review is not very thorough. But based on my visit to Redhook, I wasn't really wowed. There are better breweries out there, but Redhook does have its large size going for it as it allows them to use it to draw visitors to its venue via their outdoor movie series and tours.

  • Stan Y.

    Went Redhook tour with father-in-law over the weekend. He was always interested in beer so a brewery tour would be nice for the father's day weekend. The tour cost $5 per person, and the ticket could be used as 20% coupon at gift shop. Basically the tour guide takes you to the big room with bar that overlooking the brewery area, and pour each guest half plastic cup of beer. While you're sipping bee, the guide talks about the Redhook company history, how beer is made, different type of beer...every 10 mins he will stop and refill everyone's empty cup with a different beer, half fill though. So during the entire tour, you will taste five different beers including IPA (India Pale Ale), Long Hammer, ESB(Extra Special / Strong Bitter), Porter. Some are light and some are strong, but all tastes pretty good. Not bad for a $5 tour. And you learn lots of knowledge about beer. Since we took the 12 o'clock tour at noon with empty stomach, I was a little light headed after 4th cup. So remember to eat something before the tour. After the tour, we decided to buy some porter because we like its dark coffee scent. However the girl at the gift shop told us that they don't have bottled porter for sale. We checked with the tour guide again. It turns out that the porter only has tapped, so we have to buy the jug from the gift shop, then the bar will fill it with tapper porter for us. Fine with us since we really likes it and the jug could be a nice souvenir. However a little pissed at the girl in the gift shop didn't gave us full information. Probably she didn't want extra work to go to bar filling the jug so lied to us. Bad attitude. The filling itself took quite some time around 20 mins, because we bought four jugs and at lunch hour the bar was quite busy. It was nice of the tour guide to take all the jugs to the bar, filling them and brought them back to us so we don't need to move. At the end, with all the ticket/coupon it was about $9 per jug porter. BTW, the Redhook restaurant is totally packed over weekend. So arrive early is you go for lunch. We didn't try it this time though. I would say the tour is a nice experience for visitors but probably can skip the expensive gift shop

    I love the beers here, especially the apple themed ones. For a nationally known brewery, I think it lacks a bit of creativity in the dining menu and in the atmosphere in particular. I was surprised when I walked in. Bare walls, industrial feel, it just seems like any other big name bar in a small town. The beers keep me coming back though. I guess simplicity is what they're going for. It's not necessarily a bad thing, but I'd much prefer to visit say, Rogue Ales in Portland or Pyramid in Seattle just because they offer a more lively atmosphere. The food is super average...same stuff you could get at an Applebees or Blazing Onion. I actually think the food is better at Blazing Onion....but the purpose of a brewery is to drink, not to eat, so I'm not focusing on the food in this review. Just something to note. If you like lighter beers, they have many great options. Dark beer lovers will be happy too. There's something for everyone. While I wasn't blown away by this brewery, it's still a cool place to bring friends visiting from out of state.

    Their tours are cheap and fun. The food here is very "meh", so I try to eat before I come. They have a big free surface parking lot and is conveniently close to the Burke-Gilman Trail for those who want to bike there from Seattle. Redhook is a good place to take out-of-town guests that enjoy beer during the Summer.

  • Bryan K.

    Review for Tour Only Took the brewery tour and it was a great way to spend an afternoon. For $5 not only do you get to learn about the history and beer making process; you also get to sample 5 distinct types of beer. The tour guide was excellent, explaining the ingredients, each part of the brewing and bottling process and the beer tastings. I'm not a huge beer drinker, so hearing the explanations and the flavor notes in each beer was helpful. The tour lasts about an hour and after the tour your get to keep the tasting glass.

  • Vega S.

    Redhook is a nice pit-stop for lunch and beverages if you are bicycling on the Burke-Gilman trail. The beer is not mind blowing but it is reliable and so is the food. I had a BLT made from naan which was interesting but possibly too crunchy. Accompanying side salad on the other hand was excellent. And they have a huge seating area so even on a crowded day wait time was no more than 10 minutes.

  • Some G.

    Fun tourist destination. Sample their beer, take the tour, but for your own sake, avoid their food. Tried their food - everything for flank steak, sandwiches, tacos, and burgers over the past 4 or 5 years and it is just consistently bad. Pains me to give our local brewery a bad review for their food. Fortunately this place is surrounded by good food. Try fireside. Barking frog, Hollywood, purple cafe, station pizzeria, herbfarm, or any of the winery serving food near by.

    Big selection of microbrews and cider. I like to come here and pick up food to go from their bar when i am attending a lawn concert across the street at Chateau ste Michelle. The have a large salad selection which you can add chicken, flat iron steak or salmon.

  • Angela K.

    I would say this place would have gotten five if not for the strange manure smell that permeates the outdoor seating from a local creek running alongside it. Other than that, I utterly recommend the beer tour before having a lunch or dinner here. Our beer tour guide was very knowledgeable and generous with the beer sample pours. For just five bucks, I savored a half a dozen beers, got an insight to beer making, and walked away with a double shot glass. After, I had a delicious garlic chicken pasta meal while my husband had salmon pasta. The food was fantastic. The only downside, they didn't have a blender to make a blended margarita. Other than that, enjoyed my time here.

    Went here this past weekend. Pretty nice change from all the wineries we had visited. Great food, great beer, cant complain. If you can, try to do the tour. It is only $5 a person and that includes beer tasting as well as a small (shot glass size) souvenir glass cup.

    REVIEW FOR "MOONLIGHT CINEMA" SUMMER MOVIE SERIES I love an outdoor movie, and in this regard, Redhook well earns the three stars awarded here: They have the most pleasant venue in the Seattle area to watch a movie under the stars. Downfalls include limited food options within the movie area, and the almost inexcusable warm beer we were served throughout the evening. We were here on a 90 degree day, and to say the temperature of the beer was a letdown would be an understatement. Oh, and the parking? A complete farce. Overall though, this is a nice, family-friendly experience, with some much appreciated touches including free lawn games. Add to that the fact that at only $5 it's a remarkable bargain, and it's a solid three stars in my book. Just do yourself a favor and patronize one of the other excellent places in the area for food and beverage before heading through the gates at Redhook.

    After visiting Saint Edward State Park, we drove to Woodinville to have a late lunch at the Redhook Brewery. We started our meal with delicious fried cheese curds. My wife had a delicious Rueben with fries. I had the sausage dinner with fries and a Caesar salad. It was good but I have better. The salad was lacking dressing. My daughter and son-in-law shared a salad and ribs. Again, they thought that they have had better ribs. If you like a noisy atmosphere, this could be the place for you.

    Review on tour only: A friend and I came here for the beer tour ($5/person) and it was very entertaining. We went on a weekday afternoon and there was only a couple other people there for the tour, so small group. Our tour guide was funny and knowledgeable. We got to sample five different Redhook beers and learn a little more about each one. They went into how they make their beers to bottling them. Overall, the tour lasted a little over an hour and you get a pint glass at the end. Definitely a great way to try different kinds of beers and expand your beer knowledge!

    TOUR REVIEW After making a couple of wrong turns getting to Woodinville my boyfriend and I were about 3 minutes late to the 2 o'clock tour. Originally, we were told that we had missed our opportunity, and that we could do the 3 o'clock tour instead. Unfortunately, we were on a bit of a time crunch that day and we could not make the 3 o'clock tour. I understood it was our fault for being late, and went to the restroom before making the drive back to Seattle. While I was gone, my boyfriend was able to convince one of the guys to take us on the tour. Unfortunately, I do not recall the tour guide's name, but we were very grateful to him for making an exception on our tardiness and giving us a great tour! Since we were late the tour was at a faster pace, but was still very informative and fun. My boyfriend was visiting from Korea and loved all the beer samples and getting to pick the brain of the tour guide who was super knowledgeable about beer. At the end of the tour we each got a pint glass. All in all, we had a great time and I look forward to coming back (on time) and trying the tour again.

    I don't even like alcohol but I love Redhook! Pay $5 for the tour and you get a pint glass too. They've changed the tour a bit since the first time I was here - I feel like they used to give you between 1/3 and 1/2 a glass of beer for tastings but now you get a plastic cup (with your free pint glass) and they fill it up maybe 1/4 of the way. It's not like it should matter to me anyway, I'm usually Sober Sally/DD. The restaurant/bar downstairs is convenient and I'd love to try biking to Redhook sometime. It gets damn crowded on weekends. Get here early for lunch or be prepared to wait at least 45 minutes for a table.

    Definitely, for any beer lover, bookmark Redhook ale brewery if you're in the Seattle area. Seriously, $5 for an amazing hour long tour with LOTs of samples and tastings of their beer (wide assortment from IPA, ESB, Ales, etc). The tour guide was funny, definitely had a broad beer knowledge, and was delightful. My friends and I went on monday..so the tour group was small and intimate. Everyone gets a free pint glass as a keepsake and probably sampled and equivalence of 2.5 full pints of beer depending on how much you asked for. I would definitely recommend this place for the cheap price and the fun tour to see how everything is bottled and all that good stuff. As for the restaurant, the food is a bit pricey, but taste wise not too bad. My friend ordered a cheeseburger, dry and under seasoned, nothing spectacular. I ordered the steak salad which was actually pretty tasty and had a fair amount of steak on top of a bed of spinach and cranberry. Like i said, nothing revolutionary here, but good beer grub to go with the different ales.

    This tour used to be five stars, when the tour was $1 and you got a little souvenir tasting glass. Now it's $5 and you do get a pint glass, but they've only added one little part to the tour (bottling and canning) and it's not worth the extra $4. We've been on this tour several times, and we have had a great tour guide every time. They are usually witty and clever and interesting. It's a great tour to bring Washington visitors to, and it's not boring like a lot of tours are. The pub downstairs has decent food. My favorites are the burger and a porter float. Yum! They have lots of cool beer stuff in the gift shop also. One of my favorite Woodinville spots!

    Food was all awesome. Brewery is conveniently located off the bike trail. Pretzel was great along with both the mustard and cheese sauce. Beer sampler was good. Main dishes did not disappoint. Stopped by the store on way out and you can pick up beer and swag. Awesome long ride from downtown Seattle.

    Redhook is a fun place to hang out with a group of friends and eat some fairly decent bar-food. Confession: I'm not a fan of Redhook beer. :( They do have wine from nearby wineries, so that helps. Trivia here on Tuesdays is hosted by Geeks Who Drink and it's pretty fun. Fun, loud, diverse and laid-back atmosphere. :)

    I came here for the tour on a sunny(!) Saturday afternoon, and while I cannot speak to the food, the tour was everything I could have wanted it to be. Tours run on the hour every afternoon and don't accept reservations, so I was a little nervous when we pulled up at 1:40 that there wouldn't be any spaces left. Luckily, my sister and I snagged the last 2 spots in the sold-out 2pm tour. After the group was wrangled, we were led upstairs by our very charismatic tour guide, whose name I unfortunately forget. Once we reached the tour room, we were greeted with our first of five beer pours, which were nothing to sneeze at. The entire tour basically took place inside this room, but there was a small balcony overlooking the brew room that you were able to step out on and take a look. The tour itself went pretty in depth into the beer itself, the history, how they brew, with lots of jokes and tastings throughout. Our guide was very knowledgeable about the product and process, and was able to answer any and all questions. At the end of the hour-long tour we even walked away with pint glasses! Incredible deal for only $5, especially since I walked away definitely feeling the effect of those pours. I would not hesitate to recommend this tour, whether you are a beer lover or just need a break from all the wine tasting that is abundant in Woodinville. Definitely check it out!

    I have no idea why there is only 3.5 stars to this brewery.. My husband and I have been drinking redhook for a very long time. Visiting Seattle from California we could not skip the opportunity to take the tour. Of course I yelped the brewery and was shocked to find out it was so low in stars. We had an amazing experience from the food. Waitress & bar tender to the extraordinary tour guide.. (Forgot his name) I will most defiantly come back next time I'm in town.

    Came to Redhook to do the tour! And it was a great tour! Emily was awesome, super funny! If you love beer this a great way to learn about how it's made! $5, you get a pint glass and around 5 beer tastings! It's so worth it. Word to the wise don't bring kids on the tour they won't have fun. You stay in one room for most of the 50ish mins! Also did the outdoor movie! Such a lovely place to watch a movie! Had some great food vendors and yummy beer! Only downside they stop serving the beer once the movie starts! Haven't eaten their food in years so can't review that as of now!

    Food was great and the service was amazing. I was happy they had the game on and people seemed to be having a great time. There is a small area right when you walk in that sells a lot of cool merchandise and other fun things like BEER!!! Happy to have made the drive from Seattle.

  • Nam N.

    I want to give this place more stars as I love the service and the atmosphere here. And it's an awesome brewery that offers tours and has summer movie nights. What makes it really miss that 4th star is that it's really pricey food! The foods are decent but not worth $15+ a plate. Altogether though it's a fun spot to hang out after a day of skydiving and get some food and drinks.

    UPDATE: adding a star for management follow up effort and communications that all the issues will be looked upon and addressed accordingly. So they changed the tour price to $5. I actually didn't mind as it was a great deal anyway before and still is. I was disappointed that they changed the nice little collectible RedHook taster glasses into large bulk typical pint ones. They didn't have much time and the tasting felt a bit rushed towards the end instead of the smooth schedule they had before he alliance change. They also covered more fun historical facts of the brewery before in which they did not do this time. Many of my guests said it was more robotic and boring. As for the restaurant. We all waited about an hour for tables which I think is a bit unfair since we did the tour. I asked in advance and they said that we would have to do the tour first and then be present to be waiting for a table...this made no sense since they know when the tour gets out and could have actually done some organization or felt it out so the people who came early and wanted to experience the place would be able to eat afterwards. The hour wait was also unjust as we saw people who arrived after us get seated 30 minutes before we were even thought of. Yes, the buzzer they gave me was broken! Most of the restaurants I have ever gotten a buzzer always did a test before handing it to me. The place isn't that big so having been forgotten was not appreciated at all. Having brought people through an organized event, this was a great idea but a poor experience for all of us. I felt very responsible for the poor total experience that the people who attended received.

    After several visits here, I finally took the tour - Hands-down, one of the best tours! Our guide was a comedienne, her delivery was exactly like Sarah Silverman. Every time she dropped a bit of knowledge about beer and the brewery (amidst her stand-up act), we were called to the tour room's bar to fill up our cups! In all, I believe we had about 6-7 tastings. The other GREAT thing about the tour? You stay pretty much in the same 100 ft of space, yet you get to see almost all of the operation! Perfect lazy (wo)man's tour! Probably a good idea too as they wouldn't want you wandering the facility after drinking so much. This is certainly a steal for $5, considering you get to take a souvenir pint glass home for free :) The food is typical bar food - nachos, burgers, etc. All of the items I've tried have been hearty and satisfying. There is also a gift shop up front, of course, if you need to bring any presents home for the beer lovers in your life. Don't forget to keep the drinking train moving, this is located amidst a bunch of wineries - tastings galore!

    I've been making rare appearances here for many, many years. For better or worse, I consistently dabble in a variety of beers from worldwide brewers, and find their beer to be pretty great. In the sense that every beer in the line-up can hold it's own for the style it's supposed to be, versus one or two flagships and then blah. That said, their ESB really is a standout for all ESB's out there. The brewery/restaurant/patio areas are great. Warm, inviting, fun. Biking there is the best, right off the Burke-Gilman trail. Driving there is easy. What isn't there to love here?

    Where to start...? My boyfriend took our group to Redhook because he had been there before and it was our first time visiting Woodinville. We were expecting a nice brewery experience but got one mistake after another. Usually not a big deal but it's comical how many things happened during our visit. First, the server spilled beer on my boyfriends brother. We got an apology but no new beer and no help cleaning it up. Second, it took over 30 minutes to get our food order. When we did get our food order my boyfriends Pulled Pork sandwich was cold. My salad was missing two ingredients from their advertised description for their chop salad. When my boyfriend finally flagged down a different server she brought back a hot pulled pork sandwich with coleslaw on it this time. Hmm? Our server must have been embarrassed to come back because she took forever getting our check. We didn't want to say anything when we were there and took the managers business card. We have attempted to call the manager 4 times to discuss our concerns but have gotten his voicemail every time. We have left a voicemail and have not received a call back. We are not looking for any freebies here just some decent customer service. Redhook has clearly failed on all aspects of running a customer first business. Unfortunately, we will never return.

    I've been to Redhook Brewery a couple times, I definitely wouldn't seek this brewery out, but if you're in Woodinville, it's a great option, as there's not much around for food. All local brews, I'm pretty sure they also had other beer to choose from, and they have a full bar. We did find that it gets really busy, even during the weekdays, which I found a bit surprising! Get there early, or you'll be waiting a while. The staff was just OK -- didn't feel like anyone went out of their way to welcome us. The bartenders were even kind of cranky, which was a bit off putting, considering we'd have to wait 40 mins just to get a table. The food was really mediocre. Both times I went, we had apps & main dishes, there *are* a few vegetarian options, which is nice. The first time I had the veggie burger, it was cold and bleh (I was also in a large group). The second time it was pretty A-OK. Good fries, my meat eating family seemed happy with their selections.

    I went on the brewery tour here, and it was certainly memorable. Tours run on the hour from 12-4 every day, and last pretty much a full hour. I went on Super Bowl Sunday, so there were only 5 of us on the tour but they accept up to 50 people. The cost is $5. You pretty much go in one room upstairs for the whole time and hear about the history of the brewery. The brew kettles are also visible from this room. They make it fun with a lot of cheesy jokes and once the beers started hitting us, the jokes got better and better. We even got to play a short game of foosball. They are generous with the sample pours during the tour. You get to hear about the flavors of each of the 6 beers, and if there is a history to the name. Upon completion you receive a Redhook pint glass that is only available on the tour. Don't forget to tip! I definitely recommend this tour if you're looking for a laugh and a large amount of beer.

    Nice to have a brewery in the heart of wine country so to speak. A nice departure from the norm in the area. Red Hook campus is huge and has great outdoor space whether it's on their patio attached to the pub, or around the grounds and short walking trails. One thing I noticed about coming in...it gets crowded. There was a 45 minute wait just to have a table so we opted for the bar and got lucky with a few open chairs. For $7 you can grab yourself a beer flight to wet your palate and help decide what you fancy. The ESB was certainly my fave. Aside from their delicious brews they also have a ton of other great beers on tap and a full bar. Happy Hour is definitely the way to go here. We ordered a nacho...which notably the full size is enough for several people. HH they do a half order which is nice. It was OK. Some cheese...beans, green onion, lots of jalapenos with the typical guac, sour cream, and salsa on the side. It was kinda plain in my opinion. Overall service was good. It was kinda hard ordering at the bar but not terrible. All in all a nice place to stop in.

    When picking up our rental car in downtown Seattle, our friendly and super-helpful agent asked where we were headed. We told her we were going wine tasting in Woodinville. She said "If you are going to Chateau St. Michelle, and you like beer, go to Red Hook--it's right across the street." We like beer, so we took her advice. And awesome advice it was! We started with lunch in the bar. Probably the best chicken quesadilla I've ever had! And quesadillas are a regular staple of my diet My friend got a steak salad--with a ton of steak. We spied on every dish a server took by our table and everything looked great. I wanted to get the giant pretzel, but I was already full. Anyhow, my review isn't even for the food--it's for the brewery tour. Only $5 and it was so much fun. Plus, they give you a nice, sturdy pint glass as a souvenir. You learn a lot--and get a good buzz going, because the tour starts with beer, and they keep pouring! It is seriously informative, and you get to try about 6 different beers. I'd never tried Red Hook before, but they made 2 new customers as my friend and I both liked it and plan on buying it now. If you are planning on wine tasting in Woodinville, set aside a little extra time for Red Hook. It's well worth it.

    Granted its a small brewery, but the tour is more of a glorified sampling and not really worth the full $5. The pub and restaurant are nice, with some neat limited edition beers.

  • Lindsay S.

    So the beer here is great but I feel the service on a busy day is HORRIBLE. It was impossible to find seating, They messed up the wait list of tables so many people waited. there were times we waited for beers for a while. I would rather order a beer to go then hang out on a busy day.

  • Vania K.

    A good place to take your out-of-town guests if they like beer. Plus, Chateau Ste Michele is across the street, so if you time your visit accordingly, you can hit up both tours (I recommend going to the winery tour first, of course). For $5, you get a glass, a 45-minute tour, and 5-6 beer samplers (whatever they have on tap at the time). It's a pretty sweet deal. Their tour runs hourly, with the last tour at 4pm. I didn't find the tour itself being all that informative and engaging, but I'm not exactly a beer enthusiast (I stick to a couple beer that I like). The guide was definitely knowledgable (he skillfully fielded all questions from a couple overly eager tour attendees), friendly, and entertaining. We enjoyed our tour and the tasting. Didn't get to try any food at the restaurant, but there are lots of other food options in the area.

    Okay tried this place for a second time and we decided to leave before we were even seated. The host at the front is so flipping rude. She acts like she's annoyed that were even there. "Inside or outside?" That's about all she said. Different host, same story as the first time around. The first time we went there, same thing, 4 different staff members were rude to us. They just don't say much, they just act like tired kids who don't want to be there. I came with my mild mannered, polite family of four, we're not difficult customers or anything like that. They're rude right off the bat. The food is okay but nothing special. No better than any other pub or burger joint. I would compare a red robin burger favorably to red hook. NEVER coming back.

  • Lori D.

    I remember the food being mediocre, so it's not like I had high expectations. The steak was a grizzly cut that tasted like microwaved beef. I couldn't eat it. Aside from that. If you have small kids you might like to know that this is a popular place for parents of toddlers and babies to hang out. Enjoy! ------- UPDATE: Very nice response from pub manager sincerely interested in making things right. Much respect and appreciation for that. If you haven't been there it's worth a visit. Who knows? Maybe my steak was just a "bum steer" hawhawhaw. Try your luck. The beer is always good!

    This is one of the best breweries to visit on a hot and sunny day in Redmond. Their outdoor patio seating is fantastic and the road to get here is easy to travel by bike. We stopped off in Bothel about 10 miles out on the Burke Gilman Trail. We loaded up the kids in the bike trailer and leisurely made our way down the windy path, along the river, through beautiful foliage and finally to the brewery. It's a massive brewery but has a great down to earth, outdoorsy feel. We parked our bikes and headed to the patio to get our drink on... so to speak. We started off with a hoppy session beer and a huge plate of chicken nachos. Nachos are either the bomb-diggedy or crap depending on how they lay on the cheese and Redhook does it right. These nachos were a mountain of cheese, chicken, crispy tortilla chips, and topped with plenty of sour cream and guacamole. Of course I ordered the Kobe Burger with Bacon and Cheddar cheese to top it off. After that I went for the sampler of beer to explore their other beers. Unfortunately there wasn't many seasonals on tap, but I was happy with the location, ambiance, food, service and weather. So any beers at that point were icing on the cake. All in all it was a great place to grab some grub, and throw back some pints while soaking up the outdoors.

    I've come here on two separate occasions and both were great experiences! The first time, I came for the tour. For a $1, you get a tour of the brewery along with a quick lesson on how beer is made, plenty of beer tasting, and your own souvenir tasting glass! Can't beat the price! That, and the the glasses are a little bigger than shot glasses so you get a good sampling. The second time I came here, I came for the trivia night. I've never done bar trivia before, but it was so much fun! I came here with a big group of people and while there seemed to be politics with cheating, etc., it was still a great time. The beer here is pretty good although I can't say much about the food as I only had a hummus plate. Umm...they did a good job scooping it out of a jar? I'm assuming it wasn't homemade. Great, fun place! Especially good for some cheap fun for out of town guests.

    This is a cool lunch spot if you are in the area. The beer is good and the food is just OK. It's pub grub so I didn't have high expectations. It can get busy on the weekends so expect a little bit of a wait.

    Went here on the LivingSocial adventure to take the tour. The tour guide was engaging and extremely entertaining. You could tell he was very passionate about beer and brewing and Red hook. He provided a detailed history of the company and talked about the brewing process and where certain beers got their name and when they were invented. You can even smell some Hops and try some of the toasted grain they use to brew. Brewery tour is really simple. You only have to turn from one side of the room to the other to see it all. You get to sample 5 beers and keep the Red Hook sampler glass as well. LivingSocial provided white cheddar truffle oil popcorn for us to nom on and it was perfect. I really cant say which was my favorite, I really enjoyed them all. I didn't get a chance to try the food but we had time before the bus boarded to down another pint of their delicious ale and purchase a couple of souvenirs.

    I came in and sat at the bar and was waiting to meet a friend. the bartender finally came up to me to ask what I wanted to drink after 10 minutes. he gave me a warm beer too. there was not a lot of people only about 5 or 6 people, it wasn't busy. he just worked really slow. every time I ran out of drink I had to wave him down after waiting too long for a refill I got a bloody mary, it was decent and cold. we were ready to order but waited forever then I had to wave at him to get his attention so we could order. he never came to check on us to see if we needed another drink, to see if I had silverwares or if our food was good. I ordered French dip and salad. both was good. the overall experience SUCKED because of the bartender service was bad. Maybe it was his attitude he just didn't care about making good tips.

    Totally fun tour, completely mediocre food. I've had lunch at the Redhook Brewery twice and taken the tour once. I'd do the tour again but skip the restaurant. The brewery tour isn't offered all the time so check the schedule online ahead of time. It's not really a "tour" since you spent 97% of your time in one room, but it's still alot of fun. And it only costs $1. Yep. For one dollar you get a little buzz, learn about beer (including the history of IPA), are entertained for over an hour, and take home a cute little Redhook glass. Not bad at all. Our "tour guide" was a handsome young lad who probably auditioned for the job. I don't know if he came up with everything on his own or if it was scripted, but it worked. There was one awkward moment when he chastised someone for talking or asking a question, but aside from that he was a fantastic host. He was knowledgeable and funny and clearly loves his job and Redhook beer. Someone who already knows a ton about beer may not be very impressed, but everyone in our group enjoyed themselves. After the tour concluded, we were all hungry, my lightweight friend was a little tipsy, and my boyfriend decided it would not be a wise idea to drive anywhere without getting something in his stomach to soak up the beer. We ate lunch out on the patio and the food was just OK. There were hardly any vegetarian options, the side of chips were way too salty and not very good, and nothing really stood out. Well, the hummus platter was decent but needed more pita bread. The focus here is clearly on the beer, so too bad there's nowhere else nearby to eat. Speaking of location, the brewery is a little tough to find and not well - marked. We had to ask for help at a nearby hotel and they were like, "Duh, it's around the corner." I think such a tourist destination should have a big sign overhead, but apparently the Redhook owners don't think that's necessary. The tour is great -- some of the most fun I've ever had for $1 -- but if I went again I'd be sure to eat more beforehand so I wouldn't be stuck with pub grub.

    I've been to a lot of breweries traveling around and this place ranks up there in the top ten percent for me. The service was fantastic, the beer was great, and the food was pretty darn good. All three of us got the beer sampler and the waitress did not need a map to place the beers back in front of us, that is impressive. Also we got the usual appetizer nachos before our meal, nachos were pretty good. For dinner I had a burger which was cooked to perfection and was thick and juicy, cannot complain about that after a long day at the office. I would go back if I was in the area.

    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.

    Went there last night for their 30th Anniversary concert. The beer was ok, I didn't try to the food as it did not look cute. The bathroom situation was a mess. Porta-Pottys? For a brewery? You've been around for 30 years. I think you can commit to proper outdoor plumbing. Other than that, a nice experience.

    We went here on a beautiful Saturday afternoon, mainly to have a beer out on the patio. I had been wanting to try the Ballard IPA, and wouldn't you know it, they were out. I chose the Pumpkin Porter instead and have to say it's the weirdest thing I've ever had. It had a cheap tasting pumpkin pie finish to it. My husband got the hard cider and it was warm and flat. Just then, we both got a whiff of what smelled like sewer gas. Sure enough, the same awful blast came through about five minutes later. It was so bad, that by the time our hummus plate came, both of us had lost our appetites. The hummus had an odd, fishy finish to it and tasted like someone had poured a bunch of garlic powder in it. We also had the buffalo wings which weren't the least bit spicy and very dry and leathery. The bleu cheese dip didn't seem to have any bleu cheese in it, and the celery was limp. Ugh. We finally asked the waitress what was up with the sewer gas smell, and she assured us it was from the slough, so no worries. She was apologetic about it, and noted that it's worse on some days than others. Whether it's sewer gas or some sort of anaerobic decomposition from the river, it's extremely unappetizing. I've never been impressed with any of the food there, and have always gone mainly for the beer and the nice atmosphere on the back patio. I've never noticed that awful smell before. If it is from the river, I'm wondering if it's the result of a particularly dry summer. Whatever it is, I'm in no hurry to go back.

    Will get you drunk like this in one-hour tour. just pay ONE dollar then you'll get 6 shots of 2 oz different kind of delicious beer. THERE you go, You know you're buzzed when you walk out of the tour. make sure you don't forget to bring the free shot glass that you've been using as a souvenir! coz I was TOO drunk and forgot to take it with me :(

    Food was decent enough for the price and the beer is good. Staff was very pleasant. I think it's a good place to take out of town visitors - especially if they have kiddos. It was fairly busy, but we only waited for a table about 10min. I'll be back!

    I had a chance to come here for the tour. It was $1, they offer limited tours a day, so be sure to call to see if your schedule matches their time of the tours. I though the tour was quite informative and even though I've listened to a lot about beers, it was interesting to hear the history related to Redhook. I feel that it's well worth the $1 to sample some beers and hear some history.

    Best buck we ever spent! If you are visiting Redmond WA stop here for the brewery tour. they let you try 5 different beers and you get to keep the glass as a souvenir. The tour was funny and informative. I always bring out of town guest here when they visit.

  • Klaire R.

    Tour I've been to Redhook a few times to go on the tour or to take a visitor on the tour. I'd say it is more of a beer 'talk' with a flight than a tour, but, with that in mind, it's fantastic. If you don't know much about the making of beer, you will. There's some bits of humor thrown in here or there, but I can't say I remember it being knee-slapping. The talk goes through the brewing process and parts of Redhook's history, with intermittent pauses for you to file past the host who fills your tasting glass(included- you even get a full pintglass if they run out) with one of the brews. It's only $1... how can you pass that up? It's clearly the best thing about this brewery. Food More recently, I've been bike riding to Woodinville from Seattle once a week. Unlike other breweries in the area, there's food... so I've stopped at their Forcaster's Pub a few times during happy hour (weekdays, 3-6pm), and have had the mac & cheese and the brat bites. Both feature theire beer cheese sauce, which is pretty tasty. However, the mac is just noodles drenched in sauce and topped with cheddar and crumbs... mediocre at best... and the bites are just a (barely) cut up brat atop a slimy pile of shredded carrots and a dip of sauce. Their toted brat wasn't even all that great. I may come again out of convenience(and for beer), but I'll stick to a pretzel w cheese or something else where average food doesn't dissapoint as much. Service Every time I've come, I've been seated on the patio. If it's more than half full, expect r e a l l y slow service. I've received food before beer, which is absolutely rediculous, and nearly cost this review a star. When it's really slow, of course you'll get more stellar service.

    We arrived too late for the tour, but were able to enjoy some drinks and a soft pretzel at the restaurant. The pretzel was good and hit the spot and the drinks were great. Our server was also attentive and very personable. We'll definitely be coming back and plan on taking the tour one of these days.

    This brewery is awesome! Not only do they have a great selection of brews, but their food is awesome as well! Just went here for the first time last weekend and it was definitely a major highlight of it! We came a little early before one of the tours started (which was our main mission for going out there), and so we grabbed some lunch and drinks in the restaurant. Their menu is full of really great sounding things. I got the Turkey B.L.A.S.T. and my friends got their burgers and cheese platter and everything was really great! We gobbled everything up! If you go there...DO the tour! It's only $1 if you eat in the restaurant and $5 if you don't. TOTALLY worth it! The tour guide was hilarious, informative, and really knew his beer/company history. The whole tour group laughed a bunch. They even give you a free little RedHook glass to drink out of and keep while you do the beer tasting on the tour. Included in the tour, you get to sample 5 of the brews, get a tour of the brewery, learn about different types of beer and the companies history, and well..you get to drink a lot. It's quite awesome and definitely a bang for your buck! :) I would go here again (even though I live in Seattle) and do the tour every time! I learned a lot, drank a good amount, and had a blast!

    LOVE LOVE LOVED the tour!!!! Our guide was pretty funny (way better than the St. Michelle tour across the street)! If you are expecting a big walking tour ... uhm ... no ... not happenin'. BUT you get tons of interesting knowledge about the company while chilling in a big room and having tasty sips!!! The tour is cheap (think $1) and you get more than your money's worth in beer samples. And it's located above their restaurant so you can grab a bite after the tour and your 5 or more hefty samples of their tasty beverages!!! I noticed a ropes course right outside the door, but I didn't venture out to see exactly what it was all about .... it was rainy and a bit chilly. Definitely something to check out for the summer! I will most certainly bring out of town guests here as part of my must see in Seattle (or surrounding areas) tour!!! Please go and check it out for yourself and enjoy!!!!

    They have some great brews, but if you want great food try the Barking Frog next door, or even the McDonalds on the way in, shoot...probably do just as good if you hit up the 7-Eleven chili cheese dog! The sausage plate flat out sucks. Oily mess. Tastes like Oscar Mayer. Nachos are plain and toppings not evenly dispersed, greasy. Way way to expensive for run of the mill lacking quality pub food. Service was good and one of the guys gave me a free pint glass which was killer. Brew tour is also killer.

    If visiting Seattle, the trip up to Red Hook is definitely worth it. The Longhammer IPA awaits your tasting. The tour is a ridiculous $1, so why not get some education and several free samples of their different beers? After getting some free samples, stop by the bar area and sample some more or snack on some appetizers. They also have a shop to buy some tshirts and hats.

    If you are a cougar fan skip this place. Only husky football is allowed here. Turned off the cougs to put huskies on. When I asked to have the game put back on I was told that they had to play the huskies it was a contract issue. Please coug fans vote with your wallet and go someplace else for that beer and burger. You are not missing much here anyway red hook is just a fancy Bud.

    One of the best breweries around. Great staff, great food, and a funny $1 beer tour. Only downfall is the wait for a table around dinner time... But I guess that's what comes with an awesome brew pub.

    Went here on a Saturday for the 1pm tour. The price is right at only $1 for the tour. You get to try 6 beers. This was my first Red Hook experience and they were nothing special. The "tour" is pretty lame as you stand in a big room for an hour as you listen to some lame jokes from a cheesy tour guide. You get to see more on the Bud, Miller or Coors tours.
