Big Time Brewery & Alehouse has been in business in Seattle's colorful "U-District" since 1988. We are a classic American Alehouse located in an old yellow brick building with high ceilings and lots of stained wood. The pub has an antique bar, an extensive bottle and can collection, numerous historical brewery photographs, and lots of old beer signs and trays. Music is provided by a 100 disc CD jukebox with an eclectic mix of artists. An original 1950's era shuffleboard in the back room gets plenty of use.

Big Time usually has at least 10 ales on tap, plus on Thursdays and Fridays we feature a cask conditioned "real ale" on the handpump. Our standard brews; Prime Time Pale Ale, Atlas Amber Ale, Coal Creek Porter and Bhagwan's Best IPA are on tap at all times. The other three taps and the cask conditioned pump rotate from week to week with some of the many specialty beers we produce over the year.

The kitchen features pizza, sandwiches, chili, soup, salads and changing daily specials. We serve generous portions at very reasonable prices. Food is available until 11:00 pm

In Short
Nestled on the south end of the Ave, Big Time's antique bar, vintage beer signs and wood floors give it a turn-of-the-century feel. A steady flow of all stratum of UW affiliates circulates, from coeds to profs. Safe college standards play on the jukebox. Ten of their own brews are on tap, with selection varying depending on the season, and the student-priced menu is stocked with standard pub fare: pizza, sandwiches and salads.

Save Money
Grab a large pizza on Sunday and they'll throw in a pitcher for a buck.

The Extras
