18 Best Beer Bars in Tacoma

“Nice relaxed feel to the restaurant.“

“I've always wanted to visit this place, but I always seem to pass it on 6th Ave. It looks like they used to have a large assortment of beers you could have selected, but either the fridge is broken or the business model didn't pan out.

They do have 50 beers on tap with a good selection of wine.

It was quiet but picked up around 4:30, and a few parties took place outside.

I did see kids and dogs enjoying the outside seating.

I did enjoy #50, but it lacked a bourbon barrel flavor.“

“Good food and beer. nice people.“

“Fantastic tavern in a beautiful neighborhood in north end. A huge variety of tasty local beers. Beautifully decorated with a warm inviting atmosphere. Didn’t have food but heard (and saw) that it’s fantastic. Lots of games including shuffleboard, darts and pool for only 50 cents!!“

“🍕🍺 Hidden Gem Alert! We had a fantastic visit to the Crafty Beaver. The owner himself waited on us—such a genuinely kind and welcoming guy. We ordered pizza and wow… it was FANTASTIC! Crispy, flavorful, and crave-worthy—we're already dreaming about our next slice.
The space was spotless, cozy, and had a great vibe. Prices were very reasonable, making the whole experience even better. If you're looking for great local beer, delicious food, and friendly service, this bar/restaurant is a must-visit.“
