This large Capitol Hill brewpub has an industrial feel that sums up the Northwest concept of "local brewpub." The stouts and strong ales are especially good, and the brewers' creativity here just can't be beat. Hands down, Elysian is the best brewpub in Seattle. Other Elysian pubs are at 542 First Ave. S. (tel. 206/382-4498), and 2106 N. 55th St. (tel. 206/547-5929).
Open setting and wide selection of brews make this a Capitol Hill favorite.:
