I visited Brewtop Social about a week ago when I was flying out of SeaTac. Been meaning to check it out for a while, and finally did! The vibe is definitely "airport bar", unsurprisingly, so not necessarily the best thing in the world. But, this one is up on the second floor of the main atrium and it has big windows looking right out on the runway, so if you gotta be in the airport, this place isn't too bad.
14 beers on tap on my visit, with every beer coming from either Washington or Alaska. A previous reviewer said prices were unmarked, but on my menu they were clear. Of course, they were airport prices - $14/pint in most cases. Styles heavily favored IPAs and pale ales, but there were some lighter lagers and one or two darker beers also represented. On the whole, darn good for an airport.
The service was fine; maybe a little bit slower than most airport bars. I think they were training a new guy on the day I was there. I had the cheese curds which were (of course) overpriced, but actually pretty darn tasty (of course, cheese curds are hard to screw up!).

Nothing like getting some new ticks at the airport, right? Be warned, prices are not listed! They ended up being $13 a pint! I know airports gouge, but this is ridiculous. I'm glad I didn't order food too....

SeaTac Airport—an exercise in terminal despair if ever there was one. After a mind-numbing, soul-draining day of wrangling with a customer, I arrived in a full sprint, parched, desperate for a liquid savior to carry me through the next leg of this madness. My flight schedule stretched before me like some Kafkaesque fever dream, and I needed quality fuel to survive. Yet, in the desolate wasteland of airport bars and overpriced swill, I spotted a glimmer of hope—local craft on tap, no less. Fortune favors the bold, they say, or maybe just the thirsty.
I pulled up to the bar, eyes scanning the options like a half-starved wolf eyeing the last deer in a burnt-out forest. Local names, familiar brews, some damn fine choices for an airport. It wasn’t long before I was slamming them back, one after another, trying to keep pace with the clock ticking down to my departure. The beers were solid—hell, better than I’d expected—but this was an airport, after all. Standards had to be adjusted. It wasn’t exactly a taproom revelation, but for a place designed to strip you of all joy and money, it wasn’t bad.
Food, however, was a cruel joke. Some half-hearted attempt at nourishment, barely fit for human consumption, and far below even the questionable standards of air travel. But I wasn’t here for food. No, I had my beers, I had my mission. A quick glance at the time, a mad dash to the gate, and I was off, racing toward the next leg of this chaotic journey. Overall? For an airport, it was decent. But anywhere else, you’d likely raise a glass, take a sip, and wonder why you ever left home in the first place.
