I absolutely love coming to Initiative! The outdoor patio is the best place to come relax and enjoy a meal and some excellent beer. Yesterday I had their Cubano sandwich and it is wonderful. The pork was cooked just right. The mustard and pickles complement it as they should. I also had their regular fries and they are always cooked to perfection. I had to get their fry sauce as well because it is out of this world. To wash it all down I went with my favorite, the smoked lager. Their Trouble With Authority smoked lager is by far one of my favorite beers. The service is always second to none, and I really like the outdoor patio area because you can bring your dog. Even if mine is not with me at times, there is almost always other dogs there. I highly recommend visiting Initiative Brewing on a regular basis.

Last night I’m town for the Overland Expo and we wanted a simple but tasty meal. This place definitely delivered. Honey lager was light and fresh, and the cubano sandwich was great – pulled pork AND pork belly- very tasty combo. Nice big open patio that was super dog friendly, our waitress (who was fantastic) brought out the water bowl and everything.

This was our second time here and the food was great. We shared the teriyaki bowl and the shane-ful chicken sandwich, both were very good. Our first visit we had the loaded fries, a good choice also. For beer you can’t go wrong with the Take Initiative IPA and the We Heavy Scotch Ale.

This was a good place for a brew, cocktail, or a quick bite. Pub style atmosphere with large outdoor area and fire pits. Service was great and they use electronic ordering devices. Food was average pub fare but fresh prepared and they reached a little with items like hand breaded chicken strips or Korean fries that were served with kimchi. Beer was cold and delicious. Ample off street parking and patio can accommodate larger groups. Prices were reasonable. Family friendly. Another great spot in Redmond.

Top 5 burgers I’ve ever had. Hawaiian burger is the absolute best. I’d give 5 stars but the word “generous portion of fries” is an understatement. Not generous at all.

Fantastic place to eat! We had a large party with multiple teen boys and parents all spread out amongst 4-5 tables, eating lunch prior to a baseball game. This was the 2nd time some of us ate there in a 4day trip. The atmosphere is great, clean and bright. The food is good. The service was outstanding. Our waitress was amazing in every way. She did a fabulous job in balancing the large # of us and taking orders aligned with kids and their parent(s). It was PERFERCTLY executed. The whole staff was so friendly and so attentive! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Great place, such a wonderful addition to our community. The brews were great. Brian was a great server, so very friendly and attentive. We enjoyed the strawberry feta salad with chicken and the BBQ chicken sliders. Great place, great service, great food and spirits.

Initiative Brewing has become one of my favorite spots, and I find myself visiting frequently. One of the things that I appreciate most about this brewery is their excellent gluten-free selection. As someone with a wheat allergy, it’s not always easy to find places with options that are safe for me to eat, so I’m grateful for the effort that they put into providing these options.
