31 Best Bars near Fox Island

“Relaxed place. Go to take your time having a long lunch and taking in the atmosphere. BEAUTIFUL landscaping and eating areas (though very few tables downstairs). Great selection of beer on tap at this quaint island's only restaurant. Food was good, but not great. The fries were undercooked? Soft, limp, kinda chewy.“

“Such a fun place! Ciders were AMAZING! Had an awesome outdoor seating area with a ton of games to play, loved the atmosphere, people had kids and dogs which was super fun. Loved the giant connect four game and our server Kiara was so kind. Thank you for having us!“

“What can I say? I was a customer first & foremost, and occasionally you'll find me behind the bar! The vibe, IMHO, is unpretentious. On any given day you'll see someone grubbed up in work clothes, some in their office clothes, some dressed for a night on the town, and anywhere in between. You can bring in your food - AND your dog (make sure to get their pic taken for the 'Woof Wall'!); play cornhole or other board, card, or pub games; listen to or dance along with live music; play trivia (Thursdays); watch 'the game' on any of the 3 TV's; etc... There is a selection of beer & cider on tap, more ciders, seltzers, soda, and beer in cans, and even quite a selection of wines to choose from - either by glass or by bottle. A couple times a month there'll be special events: wine tastings, crafting events, night markets, etc. You can sit in the sun (or inside away from it!), watch the sunset, and even catch a glimpse of water-life! It's a place my friends & I frequent, and it's a place I would tell you to bring your friends also! It may not be "CHEERS" - we may not know everyone's name - but Hal & Ronda and the Haase brood (and myself!) will do our best to make your visit a good one!!“

“We had a date night here and were absolutely impressed. The Beecher’s grilled cheese and butternut squash soup was a stand out. Both of our pasta entrees were phenomenal as well. The star of the show, though, was our dessert, which was a deconstructed PB&J. I don’t think I’ve ever had something that had such a wide variety of complementary textures. It was amazing and flavorful.“

“Real cool local spot within UP. My wife and I just came by for a quick drink and an appetizer. Full bar, rotating beer on tap, and decent amount selection to choose from. Can catch the game on TV as well. Very nice staff.Kid-friendliness: There's a small section at the bar closed off to kids, but the rest of the places to sit are available to families.“

“We had a wonderful meal last night. Not a big place (cozy feel) and we had to wait 30 minutes for a table. Our server was wonderful and when we said we were sharing everything she actually plated all our dishes separately which was so nice. We sampled the ciders and had drink specials. We had the beet salad, cup of crab bisque and mushroom burger. Everything was delicious! I would definitely recommend and we will be going back. The new wine bar next door looks fantastic and we will be trying it out next.“

“Awesome bar, very chill atmosphere, friendly bartenders, and a huge selection of beer. I've been a regular there for some time now and it's always great to stop in for a pint. They've recently started doing bingo nights every other week, which has been a ton of fun.“

“I hate to say the food here is 'cheap' because that makes it sound bad. Instead I'll say it's inexpensive. I ordered the BLT and fries, and it was delicious and easily enough for two people (don't judge me). Service was fast and friendly. Atmosphere was laid back.“

“so many beer selections, in addition to 40 beers on tap and also a great selection of ciders.. This is a beer lovers paradice. super friendly staff who know their beers and can make pinpoint suggestions to your tastes. Honest prices and had decent seating. Growlers can be filled here too!“

“So my wife and I we're on a date downtown in gig harbor and we wanted some pizza so we wandered in with only about 20 minutes left till close and asked if they would like us to order takeout instead to save them some trouble and they told us to just go ahead and sit down. They were awesome! They have amazing pizza that I think is even better than fondi's and They have great customer service. Very kind people!!!!!!! My wife would also like me to mention that their ranch is exquisite.“

“The Tap Room is a warm, welcoming pub in the heart of beautiful downtown Steilacoom. It features microbrews and an atmosphere that is conducive to small group gatherings like a book club meeting, Scrabble night with friends, potlucks with your neighbors, etc. Nona is very accommodating and occasionally opens her lovely pub for private parties. It's a small space (maximum of 50) but then "Great things come in small packages!"“

“This is a nice quiet spot. Large area to sit in air-conditio on at 80 degree day with 3 TVs watching the Mariners on 4th of July! There are small tables outside also to view the bay as well. The best part of all this was the very professional and pleasant lady at the counter. She handled the long line and all the people all by herself! Nothing was really open after 2pm here. She deserves a raise!We loved our lager and cider. We also was able to bring in our food from "the trolley" next door.Both experiences from each establishment, great!Come visit a local!“

“I have eaten there 3 times in the past year and each time I ask for Shawna. She is the friendliest and best waitress ever, I return every time I’m in Tacoma just to see her. Hope she is still there when I come back this spring. The steamed clams and chowder is the best!“

“Wonderful little place with reasonable prices, great food and cool ambiance. I come a lot and try different plates. Great French Dip, Oyster burger, burgers, chowder, chili, salads and much more. Pull tabs and sports on the tube. Full bar (no one under age tho). The train goes by at least every 30 minutes and the water is right outside the doors. People are friendly too.“

“Great atmosphere. Great staff. Great brews. Nice covered heated patio where you can enjoy a tasty brew with your dogs:) Good snacks but no food (only “downfall” really). I HIGHLY recommend this place for a great atmosphere to enjoy a tasty beer or glass of wine. Best bar in Gig Harbor in my opinion!“

“my husband and I will go there about few times a year. this was my father in laws favorite place to eat every Wednesday with his brother for many yrs. Yesterday(July 21st) we ate there at approximately 7pm. very nice waiter we had. my husband ordered a Chicken Fried Steak breakfast. he indicated that that meat was very tough and rubbery. I tasted it and totally agreed with him. but that won't stop us from going there again. we did show up on July 16th(Sunday). had no idea you closed up so early(it was about 6pm)“

“I was craving deep fried pickles, so i googled it and this place came up. Me and my wife sat at the bar, ordered our food to go and had a couple beers while we waited. The wait staff was super friendly and attentive to us even with a full saturday night crowd. When we got home, i regretted getting the "stupid hot" sauce on my wings because DAMN! Lol. I love spicy, and the name lives up the heat. Luckily, i also got some garlic parmesan wings that were delicious, the deep fried pickles and a side salad. We cant wait to come back and dine in.“

“My friends and I went here for the first time yesterday around 7:30ish and I want to say it’s the very first restaurant ever I am satisfied with! From the service to the food and atmosphere ! Service was very nice and attentive. Appetizers were delicious we got smoke salmon deep dish, chowder soup and calamari and no disappointment! Food came in decent time and best steak I had outside my house and dessert was so yummy too as their lemonade! Hope to experience the same my next time coming here! It was very enjoyable dinner with a beautiful view. Lastly, I wanna addressed that prices for all their menu aren’t even bad either ! If u see this review u have to go there ;)“

“Tell Elaine has become an institution in the Tacoma area. So much so that I can remember going there as a Cub Scout and bowling with my friends. That was more than a minute ago Tory Lanez offers great bowling facility. Also host a very large golf warehouse where you could spend a little bit of time with you and the family. Also included as a game room bar, and restaurant. Fun for a first date and or just take the family there for a night out. Kids would love it.“

“Had a BOMB bar tender / server who handled our crew of 20+ people and the rest of the bar like a Rockstar. She never once let the smile leave her face, or have even a hint of defeat! She pushed on and did an awesome job! This was no small feat and she did it with Grace!! 10 out of 10 would recommend!!“

“The new owner Sarah uses the highest quality ingredients for her community that was shared by her and her employees. The salad dressing and all sauces are made fresh and very tasty. Portions are great, services from the staff is so inviting and friendly with care. Atmosphere is upbeat as everyone there has smiles on their faces with bright greetings. Perks for clean restroom!!! ? Price is very reasonable for the quality and portion size!!! When you do go, you’ll definitely will be returning as you’ll crave the taste of their food!No place brings people together like Kinja Teriyaki!!! Thank you for your wonderful services and delicious food!!! ??❤️??“

“We ate here tonight for the first time and we loved it. We got a pretzel appetizer, it was huge and fed 5 of us. Our food got there pretty quickly after we finished the pretzel. I got the bbq burger, I was just in the mood for a burger. It was the best burger I had had in a really long time. We came with 4 kids in tow, and sometimes that gets looks and attitudes, but we got great service!“

“This place is super cute and great for studying! The service was really fast. I ordered a vanilla chai with oat milk. It was a little sweet for my taste but it was the perfect temperature so I'll know better for next time. The cookies were excellent warm and super big too.“

“My mother, Louise Foster, was a beautiful lady and a fantastic mother, and I have many happy memories of her here. I used to enjoy this place when they had a lot of pool tables, and I can't believe they still had money for the machines.“

“I visited on a Friday for lunch. They have al pastor, carnitas, mole, fajita style and more. I had the carnitas and they were crispy and delicious. The tortillas, chips, salsas, all the food is fresh, the people warm and the place is relaxed. They have a small bar that has a great selection of tequilas and other drinks I look forward to trying another day.“

“The decor is amazing and will definitely be back. My friend ordered the meatloaf with mashed potatoes and green beans and that was delicious. I ordered the house salad with goat cheese and a vodka soda. My only constructive criticism is for my meal and drink. My salad was pretty plain for the price ($12+ $5 for a skewer of dry chicken) I brought it home and added croutons, more candied walnuts/ cranberries and a lot more dressing, it was quite dry. I did a toasted sesame dressing and man was it freaking good after I spruced it up, salads shouldn’t be boring because they’re a salad load that thing up! If it came like how I made it I would order it every single time it was so good. And the last thing is my vodka soda was more like a vodka water cause the soda was flat, I asked for it muddled and it wasn’t. But I will definitely be back to try more things and probably just order a burger and beer.“

“I'm biased so I'll be simple. The atmosphere is great to enjoy a game, have a drink and eat amazing food. I love their breakfast, I'm a biscuits and gravy guy and they have the best around. I love the kraken tea it's... you should try it. Ask the burgers are great, the sides are well thought out and the entrees never fail to impress me.“

“Flautas and jalapeños for lunch, excellent! Service is little slow during the lunch hours, but never so bad as to not want to come back.Flautas are still pretty good, but the serving size has shrunk and the prices have gone up. The food is still delicious.“

“Moctezuma’s Mexican Restaurant and Tequila Bar is a small family-owned Washington restaurant chain with 4 locations. Arturo Garcia opened the first restaurant in Tacoma in 1978. He opened the second restaurant in Gig Harbor, which is the one my parents introduced me to, and that I have dined at over the years. The other two locations are Tukwila and Silverdale. The restaurants are now jointly owned by Arturo, his son Bernie Garcia, and Bernie’s mother and sister, Magdalena Garcia and Maribel Arias. Bernie Garcia took over as president in 2005. This business has won a number of awards over the years. Moctezuma’s is a favorite for both locals and visitors.My parents retired to Fox Island, Washington, in 1990. Fox Island is next to Gig Harbor. Montezuma’s was one of my mother‘s favorite restaurants. I visited with her many times over the years. Now that she’s gone, I don’t go as often, but only because I’m busy exploring new restaurants. The current Gig Harbor restaurant is in a different location than the original. It’s also much bigger and much nicer.These are pictures from my last visit. I’m always warmly greeted. I love their complementary basket of fresh chips and salsa. The salsa is some of the best I’ve ever had. I ordered a Combination plate with a Cheese Enchilada, Chile Rellano and Taco Dorado. Served steaming hot, I loved everything, except for the Chile Relleno, which is a house specialty. For dessert, I ordered Flan. I prefer flan with a more delicate texture, but it was exactly like the one served at the original location, so I assume it’s a family recipe. It’s pretty good. All in all, I had a very enjoyable meal.“

“My server was phenomenal! Between her customer service and her attitude i had no choice but to leave her a 40% tip.Was a bit thrown off by the salsa dance event that was going on on the 16 th of March rather than st patricks day celebrations. But it was chill.“

“Aye the food here is outstanding. However I'll be straight up and tell y'all: 1) they got my order wrong 2) it took over 90 minutes to get my food. Real talk. 3) they be overpriced AF If you're trapped in UP and have time and money to spend, I'd get it again. Otherwise go somewhere else. 5 stars for the Shwarma tho.“
