Side Hustle: Taproom & La Vida Social CuisineB-

15 Lake St #201, Kirkland, WA 98033 · Brewpub, Restaurant · Downtown Kirkland

Community-forward taproom with lively events, strong beer lineup, and a globally-influenced comfort menu; great vibes, occasional service/owner conduct complaints, and food execution varies.

The verdict

Side Hustle delivers a lively neighborhood taproom experience anchored by knowledgeable beer staff and thoughtfully designed, cozy ambiance. However, food execution shows variability across shifts—standout empanadas and burgers compete with occasional microwaving and portion inconsistencies—preventing a higher grade. The strong community loyalty and event programming make it a solid local choice for casual dining and live music, though not a destination for culinary excellence.

One caveat: Occasional kitchen shortcuts reported (e.g., microwaving a burger bun) amid otherwise positive food feedback
