Resonate Brewery + Pizzeria — Restaurant in Bellevue

•Resonate brewery•

Resonate brewery was a long overdue experience. Being one of the only breweries on the east side of Seattle they have been on the list for a while.

@resonatebrewery is located in a strip mall in Newport Hills, Bellevue, WA. They have a large logo with their name and hops posted above their patio so they are hard to miss.

The patio is community-style with picnic tables in row form. They have shades on the outer portion to help keep the temperature down. The patio is fairly limited and fills up quickly on weekends.

Once inside there is beerhall style, booth, and table seating available. It is a seat yourself so find a spot and grab it quickly as the inside fills up just as quickly as the patio. Even with it being much larger.

Their staff is extremely friendly. They were one of the best parts of Resonate. Beyond of course the beer 🍺

They offer pizzeria-style food. Appetizers, Pizzas, Calzones, and Salads. During lunch hours they have wraps as well. We bought the cowboy (their bbq option) and it was delicious.

They have a large variety of beers on top, with options for all palates. While there we tried the Young and Hazy Juicy IPA and my partner got their 2 towns Northwest Applebee's cider. Afterward we got a flight. We tried:

-bicycle Race (grapefruit Radler) -Fru Fighters ( fruited Brett sour) -Jagged Little Pils (west coast Pilsner) -The Sustain (English/PNW summer ale) -Mexican Radio (Mexican-style Lager)

Favorites: Fru Fighters (Sour) Mexican Radio

This is a family/Dog family-friendly establishment. Pooches must remain...

Celebrating on a birthday weekend & found this local little hidden gem on a google map search; my, what a great find! ...Wonderfully adventurous assortment of beer varieties, truly something for everyone--from casual beer drinker to connoisseur, & with their selection its a perfect place for a flight! Superb pizza as well! ... "sourdough"/Romanian dough makes for an amazingly unique pizza crust that makes so much sense, honestly i dont know how it's the 1st brewery/pizzeria I've been to that ferments their dough...brilliant, so fitting & delicious! All the topping combos we tried were delicious, generous yet still in ideal ratios & perfectly cooked, quite the skillfully crafted pizza all the way around. Their spinach & artichoke dip was the best I've had anywhere, especially with their take on the smoother texture/consistency--souch a great touch, with bold & bright garlicy citrus flavor thats balanced out by the creaminess of the cheese, I could honestly come here just for that. Incredibly warm, fun & personable staff make the experience even more of a delight. Will definitely be returning to try their new hatch specialty too! ...Ample seating, & different options depending on ur mood--from cozy booth to bar seating & even a lovely patio, kid friendly too & clean. (Nice bathrooms too, just sayin) ...Big, bright, spacious & versatile environment; bring the bros, a date, or the whole fam! Trivia on Tuesdays! Special thanks to Allison for making our experience...

I have been here once almost close to closing time (45 till.) So I don't know how packed it gets around peak time. I think the ambience is there and could be a fun place to hangout with friends and family. I got a pizza and to be honest I wasn't very impressed by it. I think it was the size of a MOD pizza but in the shape of an oval. I didn't think that the high price was justified for how it tasted. Also the pricing structure for toppings will have you paying $3/topping. Yes, that per topping. And the build your own pizza starts at $15. That's pretty expensive.

As for why I didn't like the pizza, the center of the pizza was soggy. Toppings were a bit scarce probably because the pizza itself is kinda small to begin with. I don't know if it's because of the shape of the pizza but it ends up with these two end slices that have nothing on them, so basically I paid $20 for 3 small slices with not a lot of toppings. I liked the mozzarella they used though.

Again, this was just my experience from the one time I've been here. I am hoping that the owners will see this and make some improvements. I'll probably be back at a later time to give them...
