I love Black Raven. They always have special brews on tap, along with their already good brews. Meritime Brewery in Seattle (Ballard district) has OK beer but amazing food (get the little smokers if you go there - double breaded smoked onion rings
). Since you'll be in Issaquah, the Issaquah Brewhouse is cool. Its owned by Rogue, so they have 20 or so of their beers on tap, and good food.
For a bottle shop, i'd recommend Special Brews in Lynnwood, or Malt & Vine in Redmond (about 5 minutes from Black Raven if you go there). For good bars, go anywhere in Seattle, throw a rock, and whichever bar the rock hits, go there.
