Reuben’s Brews To Open Seattle Downtown Taproom in Summer 2025
Joining its locations in the Ballard and Fremont neighborhoods, Reuben’s Brews will open its third taproom in Seattle. Come this summer, Reuben’s Brews will open a new outpost in the heart of downtown Seattle. Though this area of the city has fallen on some hard times as of late, Reuben’s Brews sees this as an opportunity to expand its business in an area of town that does see its fair share of tourists, but just not at the same levels it once did.
Located just south of Pike Place Market at 1201 First Avenue, the Downtown Taproom will offer something for everyone, including 28 taps of beer, cider, seltzer, and non-alcoholic offerings as well as a full menu of beer-friendly American pub fare. Featuring abundant natural lighting, ample seating indoors and out, flat screen TVs for Mariners, Seahawks, and Sounders games, and freshly packaged beer-to-go, Reuben’s Brews Downtown Taproom will be a relaxing gathering space for any occasion. This expansive new space brings the signature hospitality, thoughtfully brewed beers, and community-driven spirit that Reuben’s is known for to the city’s urban core.
“We’ve always believed that beer builds community,” says co-founder Grace Robbings, in a press release. “Opening a taproom downtown lets us connect with a greater number of locals, tourists, and commuters. It also allows us to craft relationships with more nonprofit organizations, something that we actively pursue through our work with the Reuben’s Brews Foundation.”
Steps from Pike Place Brewing, the Seattle Art Museum, and the city’s waterfront attractions, not to mention its easy walking distance to the stadium district, Reuben’s Brews Downtown Taproom will be the ideal location for a satisfying meal, a quick drink between activities, or an impromptu gathering of friends and family. In the future, the space will also host entertainment, watch parties, and community events on occasion throughout the year.
“We’re very excited to be part of the energy that has renewed the historic waterfront,” says co-founder Adam Robbings, in a press release. “And in our typical glass backwards approach to problem solving, we ended up with a taproom that checked all of the boxes by combining a former grocery store and a fashion retailer into a single place for award-winning beer and craveable food.”
The goal is to have the new Reuben’s Brews Downtown Taproom open to the public in the early summer of 2025; the official date will be announced in the coming weeks. The grand opening will kick off a weekend-long, all-ages celebration that will include limited beer releases, fun giveaways, and a new beer brewed exclusively for this festive occasion.
