A tank bar in Seattle's historic Pioneer Square neighborhood. Expect fresh beer. Like, really fresh. Lowlander is a working brewery where beer is brewed onsite and poured straight from the tanks into your glass — no shipping, no kegging, no waiting.

The menu will feature house-made sausages, salads, fries, and other brew hall favorites. The name “Lowlander” tips its hat to both the Puget Sound Lowlands and the building’s history as FX McRory’s, a beloved sports bar for decades.
