UPDATED MAY 22ND. 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.

Value Beers
LOCATIONS: Value Beers are only available at certain locations around the ballpark. Below, we share exactly where you’ll find the value beers. These are often beverage-only vending stations, not the main concession counters. They might be marked with a Value Beer Here sign. Always ask and ensure you are at one of the vending stations selling the Value Beers. Always ask what Value Beers are available.
Value Draft Craft Beers
This is the best deal in the ballpark. Value draft craft beer is just $8 per pint. As of April 10th, they were pouring pFriem Family Brewers’ Lager, Deschutes Brewery’s King Crispy Pilsner, and Boneyard Brewing’s RPM IPA. The lineup may change, but we will do our best to keep this post updated.
- 100 Level Legends Bar – This bar is located near the Mariners Hall of Fame, between sections 132 and 137. It’s around back by all the memorabilia.
- The Patio at 195 – Located in the outfield beneath the bleachers. It’s not exactly on the concourse level. You have to go up some steps to find it.
- 200 Level – The outside bar at the Hit it Here Cafe.
- 300 Level – Behind home plate, out on the patio, the Sodo Sipping Container.
100-Level Value Beer Stations
Value beers are available at sections 116, 136, 149, 221, 243, 319, 328, 329, 330, and 341, the Hit it Here Terrace Bar, and The Patio at 195.
Section 116 – Main concourse between first base and the foul pole. When I was there, it was branded as Vodka Lemonade.

VALUE CANNED CRAFT BEER SELECTION
These are the only two value craft cans available as of opening day. In the past, the lineup has changed as the season progresses. At the point of sale, it is always worth asking which value beers are available. We will update this guide if we learn of changes. As the season starts, only two canned craft beers are available at this price. We will update this guide if something changes.
- A Value Beer Can is a 12-ounce can, $7.00.
- Bale Breaker Brewing: Pilsner.

Nearby Beer Destinations (Near the ballpark)
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. Kind of easy to miss. The bar is in the back, not visible from the street. 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. The crowd is usually robust and lively before and after games. There are two bars. Hot tip, head to the back bar when it’s busy. 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 yes, but this place is for grownups only (21+). Golf yes, but you are more than welcome to only drink. 240 2nd Ave S, Seattle, WA 98104.
- Farther afield – Ghostfish Brewing is one mile south of the ballpark on 1st Avenue and offers tasty beers and good food at its all-ages brewpub. It’s all gluten-free. This is, perhaps, the nation’s top gluten-free brewery. 2942 1st Ave S, Seattle, WA 98134.
- Farther afield – Seapine Brewing has a lovely all-ages taproom just off First Avenue. It’s about one mile south of the ballpark, at 2959 Utah Ave S, Seattle, WA 98134. It’s really good beer.
