We'll be honest — we send every single guest to Lumberbeard Brewing. It's not just because it's close to the bungalow (though at just 5 minutes away, it's practically our neighborhood brewery). It's because the combination of exceptional craft beer and genuinely outstanding food makes it one of the best spots in all of Spokane.
The Food Is Seriously Good
The Boneless Wings
Let's start with the star of the show. Lumberbeard's boneless wings are, simply put, the best we've had in Spokane. Perfectly crispy on the outside, tender inside, and tossed in sauces that range from tangy to fiery. Whether you go classic buffalo or try one of their rotating flavors, you will not be disappointed. We've ordered them on literally every single visit.
The Pretzel Bites
Warm, soft pretzel bites served with a rich, house-made beer cheese that's exactly as indulgent as it sounds. This is the appetizer that the whole table fights over. If you're sharing with your travel group, order two — trust us.
The Rest of the Menu
Beyond the wings and pretzels, Lumberbeard's menu is a cut above typical brewery fare. They take the food as seriously as the beer, and it shows. Burgers, sandwiches, and rotating specials are all worth exploring.
The Beer
Lumberbeard's tap list is always rotating, which means there's something new to try every time you visit. They do an excellent job across styles — their IPAs are hop-forward without being aggressive, their ambers are smooth and balanced, and their seasonal releases show real creativity. If you're a fan of Pacific Northwest craft beer, you'll feel right at home here.
The Vibe
Lumberbeard strikes that perfect balance between polished and unpretentious. The space is warm and inviting, with plenty of seating for groups. It's the kind of place where you can bring the family for an early dinner or hang with friends late into the evening. Service is friendly and knowledgeable — they genuinely want you to enjoy yourself.
