Chuck's Hop Shop

With 39 beers on tap and a policy that’s comically kid- and pet-friendly, it’s easy to understand why this glorified Quik-E-Mart holds a place in the hearts of so many Seattleites. If you’re into beer (especially the hard-to-find variety), this is your Mecca. What began as a convenience store with a few bar stools and even fewer draft beers quickly became the meeting spot for locals. In summertime, it’s standing room only: Regulars swarm the modest patio, which can easily seat 60. Kiddos play board games, while mom and dad take the edge off with a pint.
