Pike Brewing Closes Downtown Pub and Fish Bar After Decades

Pike Brewing confirmed this week that its downtown Pike Pub and Pike Fish Bar will close permanently, ending more than thirty years of continuous operation at the locations. The announcement was published on November 20, 2025 and updated on November 22. Company communication thanked longtime customers and staff and made clear that the closure applies specifically to the downtown pub and fish bar while other Pike Brewing outlets will remain open.

The brewery stressed that brewing operations will continue and distribution of its signature beers will carry on through retail and other taproom locations. Flagship offerings named in the announcement include Space Needle IPA, Kilt Lifter, Monk’s Uncle, Post Alley Pils, Uptown Hazy IPA, and Ol Crimson Legendary Lager. For homebrewers and hobbyists who follow local beer trends, that continuity means shelf and draft access to those recipes is not expected to change immediately.

Pike Brewing set a final service schedule for the downtown sites, offering draft pours at four dollars through November 30 and designating November 30 as the last day of service. The announcement framed the price reduction as a way to thank regulars and to encourage a final round of visits in the remaining days. Staff transitions and specifics about severance or reassignments were not detailed in the public notice.

The closures remove two fixtures from the downtown beer and dining scene, spaces that have hosted casual nights, release events, and local gatherings for decades. For community members who treated those locations as meeting spots or tasting rooms, the loss will be felt socially as well as commercially. Local homebrewers and beer clubs that used the venues for meetings or tap takeovers may need to find new partners and alternative venues for events and collaborations.

For retailers and other taprooms that carry Pike beers, the change may shift traffic patterns as loyal patrons seek familiar brands in different neighborhoods. Homebrewers who study commercial recipes may still be able to access Pike labels at retail and at the brewery s remaining taprooms. Observers will watch whether the company redirects programming and release events to other locations or ramps up distribution to fill the gap left downtown.

As the community processes the end of a long run, the immediate takeaway for enthusiasts is practical. Stocks of Pike s signature beers will continue to be available through retail channels and other taproom locations, and the downtown locations will remain open for a short goodbye through November 30.
