Chainline Brewing Company Taproom at Urban

Edit: Well apparently, a new location is slated to open up right back along the CKC, probably within a stone's throw of the old location. This is great news! No longer a bicycle pub. I sorely miss when this brewery was right alongside the Cross Kirkland Corridor and had front and back bike racks. The front rack was inside, away from thieving eyes. There used to be a back patio that gave a great view to the corridor and the lake and was a welcomed site to cyclists passing by. It was the perfect location. There was no other place like it in the area. Ever since it moved to the new location, that cycling spirit seems to have been lost. I blame Google for demolishing the old brewery building for more office space, though I don't know the whole story. The new location has no indoor bike parking and there's no proper space to chain my bike to that's close to the brewery unless you want to chain it to some railing. Where is the dedicated bike rack? Feels like the bicycle-based name doesn't really fit anymore. They still do beer well, but the bicycle spirit really died when they moved.

They always have a good mix of classics and new seasonal beers on tap. The rotating taps are always fun to try and often delicious! There's a decent selection of snacks but I think you can also bring your own food if you want. The outside patio is great on sunny days.

I’ve been here countless times and it’s always great. There’s ample seating inside and out. The outdoor seating is covered in the fall/winter. It could use heaters, but a warm jacket does the trick. They are super dog friendly and will provide water bowls upon request. Food is tasty. I’ve ordered a few pizzas and the guacamole. Beers are fabulous - juicy, crisp, fresh. No complaints.

Nice and pleasant outdoor seating and great beer to top it all. We went for hazy IPA and IPA. Both were tasty and worth the time spent there. I really wish they could stretch on their closing hours. 8pm is little too early given on sunny …
