Magnuson Cafe and Brewery, Seattle

For Seattle residents, a bit of drizzle doesn't deter them from the patio of Magnuson Cafe & Brewery. Rain or shine, they come to enjoy views of Lake Washington, along with a pint of beer on the covered deck, complete with heat lamps and string lights overhead.

They can also opt to dine indoors, where they might catch a glimpse of brewers loading up stainless steel fermenters and cooks assembling plates in the semi-open kitchen. Either way, they can order from the same menu of craft beer and handcrafted food.

• Housemade beers from Mollusk Brewing include the Rain Shadow Stout, wheat beers, and the Easy Drinkin', a session IPA.
• Line-caught seafood stars in dishes like the fish tacos and fish and chips, made with vodka-battered Alaskan cod.
• Locally sourced ingredients include beef from Double R Ranch for burgers, pork shoulder from Carlton Farms, and lamb from Anderson Ranch for the rigatoni bolognese.
