Great place to have a beer and hang out with friends. They have nice big tables which are perfect for a card game, and a nice selection of beer and ciders.

I love this place, but lately, their hours have been incredibly sporadic. The hours on their door don't match the hours on Google, or their actual hours. They say they open at 3 every day, but I've gone after 4, around 5, and at 6:45, and they're not open. No indication that they would be closed or why they should be closed. Just closed, during operating hours. It's really annoying. I just want to visit this quaint, comfortable neighborhood watering hole, but it's impossible because they never seem to be open. Even when they say they will be. It would be great if they could at least provide an accurate schedule, including the random days they choose to be closed.

I like the selection of beers, and that you can bring takeout from another place while you have a drink with friends! Also, it’s dog friendly even inside which is a huge plus.
Rohan Arora
Good beer selection, dog friendly inside, can bring food from elsewhere, and they have games. Only knock is that they only have 1 single person bathroom.

A convenient location with a great selection of beers, bar tender is very nice and I like the music play list a lot
Jen Cunningham
Good beer and a spacious indoor area.

I painted the Sasquatch / Orca Mural at the front of the shop ... I kind of have an affinity for this place. There is a whole lot of competition in the area, but BBCo. is still one of the best spots in town to visit if you want to sample a wide variety of local beers without having to do a brewery crawl.

Great place for event parties. The staff was really nice. Lots of great beers. I think the bar needs more than one restroom and a no key system.
Klarissa Gaskell
Great drinks, great staff, decent vibes. All of their games are missing pieces, so you can’t play them, which sucks. But overall, it’s a cool spot.

Great sours, and always a great vibe. Lots of seating available too, hit it up if you're in Ballard.
My wife and I came here with her two friends, my cousin, and his girlfriend after seeing Black Panther at Majestic Bay on a Sunday afternoon last month. This is a good spot with large tables so it is great to meet large groups. They have about over a dozen local beers on tap as well as a couple of ciders. They also have some bottles and cans as well. My wife and I tried two flights and we loved everything we had. The staff is also very friendly and the prices are quite low.

One of my go-to spots when I'm looking for a pint. I frequently bring my dog here at the end of his walk, he can chill while I read a book and have a brew or two. Beer selection is solid (if uninspired) but location and ambience simply cannot be beat.

My friends and I wanted to drink before going to a museum on the first Thursday of the month in the late afternoon but many of the places weren't opened until 3pm. Daaaarn until we found this place which was opened! Whoohoo! It's located next to Ballard Coffee Works and Cupcake Royale on NW Market St in Ballard. There's a lot of paid parking spaces but also free residential parking a few blocks up. During dinner hours, parking can get really tough around the area. I got a flight of four (peep at pic). I got the Buoy Vienna Lager, Bauman's Dry Cider Loganberry, Stoup Red Ale, and Obec Summer Saison. I'm not usually a big drinker so I didn't really know what to choose from the list LOL. I usually like my beers a little more on the fruitier side which they didn't have besides the Mango Sour which I didn't not want to chance since I knew sours weren't my fav. The ones I chose were all kind of hoppy but still really good! I think my least favorite was the dry cider. I guess I don't like my ciders dry at all LMAO. My group enjoyed their drinks too! Huge place to hang out with friends on a night out (or in this case, afternoon LOL)! Very spacious and quite a few drinks to choose from. P.S. They have happy hour until 4 or 5pm! $5 drinks.

Ballard Beer Company and decent drinking spot that kinda reminds me Thor for some reason, the Asgardian drinking all, because it's like a big hall with bench seating. There is a cool upstairs area too. You walk through to the counter and on the wall is displayed the current options. Easily the best thing about this place I've seen and not at others is 6, count em' 6 glasses in a flight! You can get 4, but the option for 6 is awesome. In my visits the selection has been alright, nothing exclusive or anything jumps out to me. Even their Hazy's, or red ale which I like just get an OK on my pallette rather than This where I gotta be honest and say that BB - Ballard Beer does slumps just slightly There are a ton of breweries in the area, so competition is hot. I think BB is counting on its easy to spot, easy to come to, neighborhood appeal. The service is just OK. Not very engaging like at other breweries. I do like the setting and the art in the walls. I'm grading in the upper curve from a 3 to 4 but BB needs a bit more character both in beer and service.

Decent place to stop in and have a beer in the Ballard area. It's not a brewery but they do serve local beer. No food but there are plenty of food options in the local area.
