Seattle, WA Community

Located in the heart of Seattle, Rooftop Brewing Company has grown into far more than a spot to enjoy a cold pint. With a mission rooted in connection, Rooftop was founded on the belief that great beer begins not only with quality ingredients, but also with great people and great places. Since opening its doors, Rooftop has become a go-to gathering place, drawing in both locals and visitors who come for the brews and stay for the warm, welcoming atmosphere.

“Seattle Beer, Crafted for Everyone”

At Rooftop, inclusivity is not just a slogan—it’s a brewing philosophy. Their tagline, “Seattle Beer, Crafted for Everyone,” perfectly captures their approach. Whether you’re a seasoned craft beer aficionado or someone just looking for a friendly place to relax with friends, Rooftop makes you feel at home. This open-door attitude has not only earned the brewery a loyal following but also national recognition for their award-winning beers.

A Dynamic and Seasonal Tap List

One of Rooftop’s standout features is its rotating tap list, which evolves with the seasons to reflect both tradition and innovation. On a hot summer day, guests may find crisp pilsners and fruit-forward ales, while cooler months bring out rich stouts and malty ambers. No matter your flavor preference, the selection is curated to offer something for every palate.

Can’t get enough of a particular brew? Their online store allows fans to purchase favorites and enjoy them from the comfort of home, making the Rooftop experience more accessible than ever.

Food, Flexibility, and Flavor

Rooftop Brewing understands that food and beer go hand-in-hand, and they’ve made sure to cover all the bases. Their resident vendor, Smash That Burger, serves up smash-style burgers five days a week. On Mondays and Wednesdays, rotating local food trucks bring additional variety, giving guests a chance to taste Seattle’s vibrant food scene alongside their favorite beers.

Prefer to bring your own picnic or takeout? No problem. Rooftop encourages it, reinforcing their laid-back, guest-first philosophy. It’s this kind of flexibility that keeps people coming back—not just for a drink, but for an experience.

Event-Friendly and Community-Focused

Whether you’re stopping in for a casual pint or planning a special gathering, Rooftop has you covered. Their main tasting room offers a cozy and conversation-friendly setting, while their private event space is perfect for birthday parties, company outings, or neighborhood celebrations.

Rooftop’s community-focused spirit also shines through in their regular events, seasonal releases, and collaborative initiatives that support other local businesses and organizations.

A Place Built Around People

What sets Rooftop apart in Seattle’s bustling craft beer scene is its unwavering dedication to accessibility, community, and comfort. Every detail—from the layout of the taproom to the upbeat, friendly staff—is designed to make guests feel at ease. And true to its name, the space offers plenty of fresh air and scenic views, making it an urban oasis for beer lovers.

Ultimately, Rooftop Brewing isn’t just brewing beer—they’re brewing belonging. It’s a place where you’re encouraged to stay awhile, strike up a conversation with someone new, and raise a glass to the shared joy of community.
