Pints Alehouse

Easily the best beer bar in town. The owners are the only people who work there and are each incredibly knowledgeable on every beer and brewery they serve. He has a way of getting special cellared beers that you can’t find anywhere else in Washington. Prices are good for the unique beers they carry. The special events are awesome and I’m disappointed if I miss one. If you enjoy craft beer, you can take it to the next level at Pints Alehouse.

Nice atmosphere, with a knowledgeable bartender, and a solid selection of craft beers mostly covering local and regional breweries. In the north end this is the place to go if that is your thing.

A vibrant beer loving crowd, and knowledgeable owners ready to guide you on your beer tasting adventure.
aka: Beer is good. And stuff.

This place is beer lovers paradise.
To start with the selection of brews is always fantastic. Follow Pints on Facebook because they will occasionally bring out something VERY special that has been cellaring for a while (example: vertical of Firestone Anniversary :0). Not to mention there are always some awesome bottles that are available as well and can be carried out as gifts or for later!
But the reason Pints is such an awesome place actually has less to do with what’s on draft than you might think. The Pacific Northwest is awash with great beer and better places to drink them, but there are none better than Pints because Derek and his wife, whose name unfortunately escapes me at the moment, are some of the nicest and most genuine people and business owners I’ve ever met.
They remember faces and names and are PASSIONATE about beer and their patrons. I can not speak highly enough of them.
When you combine great beer, with great atmosphere, and great people, you wind up with something truly special. I’ve lived in Portland, New York, Seattle, London, and Spokane. And I’m happy to say this is my favourite spot to grab a pint of beer in the world. Cheers!

Pints is a microbrew treasure! Definitely enhanced the Northside when it opened. The owners are knowledgable and friendly. We enjoy grabbing a couple beers and playing a nice game of cribbage or battle of the sexes from time to time. Also check out their Facebook page for new beers on tap.

We finally got to check this place out, they were having a event with some older Deschutes brews. We got there right at the event time and had to stand for the one beer we had. It’s worth a second try on a none event night, the people working seemed great and the prices were not bad. Happy to have another place with a great beer selections in Spokane.
Get there early for events!

This place is a hidden gem on the Northside. It’s quiet and low lit which just makes the ambience even greater. The owner/​bar tender transcends that title into a passionate advocate for micro brews. He is highly knowledgeable and influential about the many different beers on tap. I would recommend this place to anyone who has a love of great beer.

This has been my favorite bar from day 1. I remember when the place smelt like fresh paint. In Spokane and want a good beer? Stop here!!!

Pints is a nice addition to the northside off Spokane. The staff is knowledgeable and attentive. The beer selection rotates and features different beers. I really enjoy grabbing a beer here when out and about on that side of town.

This place is great. Go there to learn about and drink fine craft beers. I have new appreciation for beer. I know the basics. but talking to the owner, gives you much more insight and enjoyment. Atmosphere is subtle, clean and fun. The price is fair for the awesome quality. They have Coors Corona and Kokanee in bottles if you must. But come here for quality.

Wonderful owners, even better beer, and wine
2 year anniversary!

Nothing fancy here but the beer… and that’s fancy indeed. I haven’t seen another place in Spokane with this array of limited release craft brews. Very friendly place, almost intimate, yet lively on weekends.

This is as good as it gets in Spokane for beer bars! The only thing they need is some sort of food, but there is a Mexican restaurant next door. They have a wonderful selection of local beers. You can have a sampler at a great price. The bartenders were very knowledgable and even suggested the order we should take our sampler. Lots of locals were there when we were there. This is the type of place I look for when out of town. There are not many cool bars in this side of town, so if you are up this area for the night and like beer, I would highly suggest this place!

Hot diggity damn. Beer!
Great place on the far north side of town. Beer and wine (no food), but the focus is definitely beer. And with good reason.
They have 18 draughts in there and diligently maintain Taplister (which is awesome), so you always know what’s on tap. There is a nice mix of styles, so there will be something for everyone. Quite a few options for the hop-​heads, a few from the porter/​stout family, and a smattering of Belgian styles and others (e.g., barley wines). Most everything I saw was local and/​or very highly rated, so you know you’re going to get some good stuff.
Another awesome feature is that they have a nitro tap. If you’ve never had a stout on nitro, you haven’t lived. The nitro (instead of CO2) makes the beer super creamy and cuts down on that slight bitterness you get from the CO2 push.
If you’re interested in trying a number of beers, you can also do a flight. The wife and I did that they other day, and we really enjoyed it. The pours for the flight are pretty generous.
And for you beer nerds: This a nice place to geek out. I was able to chat with a couple guys from No-​Li who stopped in, as well as the gentleman behind the bar. Wife and I also chatted with an older (than us) couple who stop in there frequently. All in all, it made for a great vibe, and a pleasant experience all around.

One of the best beer bars in town, if not the very best!
All of the beers on tap are hand selected to reflect quality and variety. The owners Derek and Patricia, go out of their way to ensure that the taps rotate frequently and try and get the very best beers available from their local distributors at the time. One of the only bars in town that consistently has Belgians or Belgian style beers on tap! The owners are also very friendly and knowledgeable. This is the only beer bar in town that cleans their taps on a weekly basis and uses the proper glassware. If you are a beer geekstress like myself this is pretty much beervana !

Nice selection of beers. Decent atmosphere. Attentive service.

So stoked to finally have an alehouse in the «far» north. Pints has quickly become a regular stop for my wife and I. As beer tastes are subjective, I happen to be lucky enough that this alehouse carries a large selection of beers I love. They also seem to have a couple beers that no other alehouse (or maybe one) has in Spokane. The owners are very friendly and it’s a nice mellow atmosphere. After visiting the Taphouse in Seattle and getting a 4 beer sampler for almost twice the price as Pints, the prices seem very reasonable to me.
Really hoping this place is here to stay. Go check it out if you like good craft beer.

A new Place on the North end of Spokane with 18 taps, 17 of which are Craft Beers. Ever since my daughter moved here I have complained about the lack of a decent place to drink Good beers once you leave downtown Spokane and head North. Derek the owner has finally fixed this problem. Yes there is Flamin’ Joe’s on Division, but most of their beer is in 22oz bottles, but it is more of a younger crowd and the taps are mostly boring stuff.
Pints is a great local bar to go have a Great beer or a Glass of wine for those who prefer the Grapes. Derek seems to know his stuff beer wise. We had a great conversation when we could. It was a pretty busy place the night we stopped in.
I can’t say enough about how everyone who loves beer needs to stop in and give this place a shot. I know we will be back.
They don’t have food here but you can order Mexican food from next door and they will deliver just like you are sitting in their place.
