Where soccer fans should visit in Seattle this summer

Lowlander Brewing is one of Seattle’s most exciting new venues — a working tank brewery in the heart of historic Pioneer Square where beer is brewed onsite and poured straight from the tanks into the glass, with no shipping, no kegging, and no compromise on freshness. The spacious beer hall seats around 100 guests inside with generous outdoor space for the summer, anchored by a massive 12-foot ultra hi-def TV wall that was built for exactly the kind of occasion the 2026 summer of soccer delivers. Expect a comforting menu of house-made sausages, fries, salads, and brew hall classics, while the name itself pays tribute to the Puget Sound Lowlands and the building’s history as FX McRory’s — a beloved Pioneer Square sports bar for decades. For fans who want the freshest pint in Seattle in one of the city’s most storied neighborhoods, Lowlander is the new essential stop.
