Issaquah Brew House

Seven months ago I went to Issaquah Brew House with friends for dinner. It's been a favorite of mine for years, and we usually have a great experience. Back in December we had a very negative experience and I wrote the company about it. They never responded. I wrote again, without a response. I wrote a third time, and never received a reply. Then I started receiving newsletters from the company via email, which I never subscribed to, addressed to the email I had written them with. I contacted them via their Facebook page, asking them if they were ever going to acknowledge any of my emails. Today I received a response from Jack Joyce of Rogue:\r ""You said - staff says. Deal. Neither is always right.""\r The rest of the email is equally insulting, rude, and condescending. I've never encountered such customer service. I know I've recommended the Issaquah Brew House in the past, but never again! more

Issaquah Brew house has great food and just as good beers. They have a ton of choices and all great. This is a great place for lunch or dinner but parking can be a pain unless you know the secret spots that you wont get towed, well worth the risk. Service is always friendly and the atmosphere is good. If you are lucky you can watch the brewers at work while you enjoy your visit. more

Having driven and walked by the Brew House over the last year we finally ventured in the other night. The menu is amazing, it has so many good options my husband and I both had a hard time picking what to order. The fish & chips were awesome. We will be adding this place to one of our favorite in the neighborhood spots. Pros: menu more

Fabulous selection of beers - all of which are superb in freshness, taste, quality. An ambitious menu that is hit-or-miss, especially on a busy night. We enjoy going here as the atmosphere is fun and unpretentious though hectic and not relaxed. Have a sense of humor, roll with the punches thrown by harried waitresses and drink their fine brews! This is a real gem - not a diamond or ruby but a garnet. compare this with the foolishness dished out by the grossly over-rated Jaks across the street and this place wins every time! Pros: great beers more

Hardcore real fresh Rouge beeraphiles ONLY. Neighborhood "Cheers" pub. Belly up to the "dangerous corner" at the bar and enjoy an adult bevarage with some locals, feed your face with good pub type fare that changes occasionally to keep things fresh and enjoy good cell phone free conversations. Satisfying, friendly, small town pub environment. Pros: friendly, great beer Cons: none as long as you want Rogue beer more

This is my favorite pub in the area. Parking is easy on the street or at the library across the street. It's always easy to find a seat because of the varous rooms. They have a very large assortment of beers on tap. My personal favorites are the bullfrog and the dead guy. The food menu has a suprisingly large variety and even my wife has found a few items there that she enjoys. Service is always fast and friendly. Great local place with some character.\r more

Seattle area micro-brew places are cool places to try new and innovative new beers and this is one of them. If it weren't so loud, it would almost be perfect. Hung out there with some friends, tried some new micro-brewskies, and had a generally good time. The food is OK, although not the primary reason to go there. Pros: Cool micro-brews and fun place Cons: very loud more

Very friendly and quick service. Great place for beer tastine (Rouge Ales). 3 rooms of dinning, counter seating, and a store. One room even has chalkboard tables you can draw on. (Very fun!) Pros: friendly service, bright atmosphere, good food and drinks Cons: crowded on weekends, can be loud more

The service seems somewhat unorganized, but the staff is friendly, the atmosphere is cozy and inviting, and the food and drinks please every time. A great place to stop and socialize with friends. Sample the barley wine for something ""different"" :) Pros: quick seating, great drinks, friendly Cons: unorganized service more
