Here is our annual guide to the best beers at the ballpark and the best deals on beer at T-Mobile Park, the home of the Seattle Mariners. They’ve made some changes for 2025, and we’ll tell you about those. Like the baseball season itself, things usually evolve as the summer moves along. We will update this guide as we learn of those changes. We hope you find this useful if you’re headed to a Seattle Mariners game.

Beers at the Ballpark
The beer program at Seattle Mariners games has evolved over the years. At one point, you could get a barrel-aged stout or a fruited sour beer on tap. Eventually, they went all the way over the top and served cask-conditioned ales from hand-pumped beer engines, just like they do in jolly old England. Those things were novel, but they didn’t make much sense at the ballpark. Hard to blame the T-Mobile Park concessionaires and the Mariners for making different choices. It’s sad that the craft beer menu is now quite lean, but this is a ballpark, not a beer bar.
Regarding the prices, they are offering some Value Beer choices once again. Some people balk at the idea of paying $7.00 for a 12-oz can of craft beer, but it’s a lot better than paying $6.00 for a can of non-craft beer. And, new this year, you can get a pint of craft beer on tap for $8.00 at T-Mobile Park, which is less than you might pay at a downtown restaurant.

Nearby Beer Destinations
We have a few recommendations for grabbing a beer before or after the game.
- Fast Fashion Brewing is located on 1st Avenue, just a couple blocks south of T-Mobile Park. It’s a fun and eclectic taproom. The beers are excellent, with much attention given to lagers and IPAs. Kids are welcome. 1723 1st Ave S, Seattle, WA 98134.
- Hooverville Bar is a grungy, fun tavern with a great lineup of local craft beers on tap and cocktails if you need them. It’s located right next to Fast Fashion Brewing.

This is no place for children (21+). 1721 1st Ave S, Seattle, WA 98134.
- Flatstick Pub, Pioneer Square, is about .5 miles north of T-Mobile Park in the Pioneer Square neighborhood. The beer selection is fabulous; 100 percent local, Washington-brewed beers only. It is essentially a craft beer bar with a miniature golf problem. Games, but this place is for grownups only (21+). Golf, but you are more than welcome to only drink. 240 2nd Ave S, Seattle, WA 98104.
