Hale's Ales Brewery Pub - Seattle

Don 't walk, run to have one or three last beers at Hale 's Ales. While the fate of the property is not yet revealed, Hales Ales is calling it quits. You have through April 9th to go make one more memory. They 're not serving food this last week, but you can still pull up a seat, have a chat with the bartender or the other flies, and imbibe with a Kolsch, a nitro cream ale, a pilsner, or a few others to choose from. They still have some merchandise, albeit going fast, as everyone wants one last piece of the place they 've come to for decades. It 's a unique blend of a pub, a brewery, and an entertainment venue with the Palladium in the back. The Moist Festival is on right now, but it 's sold out. You can try hanging around the box office before the show to see if you can snag an unclaimed seat. Hale 's Ales will be having a garage sale April 16th-18th and an auction on April 19th to purchase anything and everything they dig up. And so, we say a fond farewell to yet another pioneer in the Seattle Brewery community.

This restaurant is extremely mediocre. There was no effort put into creating a welcoming atmosphere, and the food was barely passable with baked fries and canned macaroni salad. It seems like no effort was made to improve the overall dining experience. There are much better dining options available nearby.

Great space! Never too crowded, Hales is still one of the best places to get a quick beer in Ballard!

Star down is for the food, not beer. I didn't have beer. Food is only for someone drunk and just looking to toss anything solid into their stomach. This is not a place to eat lunch or dinner or eat for enjoyment. If you want food for sustenance and joy, go elsewhere. I did not taste the beer, but that would be the only thing I'll order if I ever go again.

The restaurant offers fantastic stand-up comedy shows, friendly staff, and a spacious environment. They are compliant with COVID guidelines and also feature arcade machines for added entertainment.
