Machine House Brewing

A well-respected brewery already operating out of the Georgetown neighborhood has opened a second location in the Central District. Appealing to soccer fans and cask-conditioned ale fans alike, this tap room is light and airy during the day with dark wood paneling for an English pub vibe in the evening. Just across from Seattle University’s soccer field and amid other vibrant restaurants and bars, makes it a perfect destination for those International beer lovers.

The Reef

A turn of the century building with a rounded brick facade and giant storefront windows became the perfect location for a cannabis shop in the heart of the Capitol Hill neighborhood. The local owners were interested in defining their brand with this second location and making a statement to the street below. The result was playful retail ‘bubbles’ lining the windows to showcase product and a giant jellyfish mural on the outside by Seattle’s very own graffiti artist, Weirdo. Existing beams and car-decked ceiling were exposed above, while hot-rolled steel accents and freshly poured concrete counters make a hip locale to find organic and sustainable cannabis.
