Imbibe Bottle House & Taproom — Restaurant in Maple Valley

We’ve been loyal patrons of Imbibe Bottle House and Taproom for years — attending trivia nights, earning loyalty points, bringing friends, and always enjoying the space. Unfortunately, after our most recent experience, we won’t be returning.

This was our first outing as new parents with our 2-week-old baby. Our understanding is that Washington law allows babies in breweries/taprooms at the business’s discretion, and we didn’t see anything on their website about a “21 and over only” policy. While there are posted signs, we mistakenly assumed it applied to the indoor space, not the outdoor patio.

When we sat down, an employee came over and told us our baby couldn’t be there. While we accept the policy, the way it was handled was extremely disappointing. Instead of quietly and kindly explaining, he spoke loudly and sarcastically (“Oh really, you didn’t think so? What, is he over 21?”) in front of other patrons.

Overall, a great spot to wind down and to hang out with buddies while enjoying some snacks from their menu. Atmosphere is amazing while they have channels to view sports. A...

Tough to spot from the road, but once you find it you'll never forget it. Great space inside for groups or a solo beer sippin' adventure.

About 25 taps to chose from and a selection with most beer styles and some cider options. Bottle and can selection is plenty big. Not overwhelming, though. Lots of Washington brewed beers.

Awesome outdoor sitting when days are nice and comfortable inside with three televisions to watch sports, or even a Talcum Powder Legal Helpline infomercial which is currently on, haha.

Best part about the taps: varied ABV selection. Low ABV and high ABV options. Something that's lacked in a lot...
