Seattle’s Seward Park neighborhood is getting a fresh dose of pies and pints as Aslan Brewing opens its new taproom this Wednesday, April 1. The Bellingham-based brewer is taking over the former Zeeks Pizza spot just off Genesee Park and rolling out a pizza-forward kitchen, certified-organic beers, and a patio that welcomes both kids and dogs. For local drinkers, it means one more low-key spot for slices, pints, and whatever game is on TV.
Opening day and hours
The Seward Park location is marked as “OPENING DAY: APRIL 1ST” on Aslan’s official Seward Park page, which lists the address as 4920 S Genesee St. and shows daily hours of 12 to 10 p.m., according to Aslan Brewing. The company describes the new taproom as a pizza-driven space with foldable New York-style slices, salads, wine, and cocktails, with links to the full menu and reservation options. Neighbors are encouraged to keep an eye on Aslan’s social channels for updates on events and any menu tweaks.
Menu, beer and game-night plans
In a social announcement covered by the Washington Beer Blog, Aslan says the Seward Park taproom will pour its lineup of certified-organic beers alongside a pizza-forward food program that includes gluten-free and vegetarian options, per Washington Beer Blog. The post also hints at happy hour deals and “specials during Mariners games,” and notes that the room will be well stocked with TVs for watching local teams.
How this fits Aslan’s expansion
On its company pages, Aslan describes a deliberate growth trajectory since its start in Bellingham, emphasizing organic brewing practices and a community-centered approach. The brewery’s timeline highlights milestones such as earning Certified B Corporation status and rolling out additional Seattle locations in recent years, according to Aslan Brewing. The Seward Park taproom follows earlier moves into Fremont and Tangletown, as well as the existing Bellingham brewpubs, extending Aslan’s neighborhood-focused model farther into the city.
Hiring and neighborhood fit
To staff the new spot, Aslan has posted job openings for both front-of-house and back-of-house roles tied to Seward Park. The hiring PDFs break down hours, benefits, and application contacts for positions including cooks, servers, and bartenders, per an Aslan job posting. Regional coverage earlier this year flagged Aslan’s plans for Seward Park and noted the conversion of the former pizza storefront into the new taproom, as reported by Cascadia Daily News.
When doors open this Wednesday, the setup will lean casual, with service centered on pizza and draft pours. Anyone itching to be there on day one should keep checking Aslan’s website and social feeds for any last-minute details or opening-day plans.
