“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.“

“Cute little diner. Although it was a Tuesday they were fairly busy at lunch time. The atmosphere was nothing special. The service was OK, she was obviously busy, but had to wave her down if we needed something. The food though... that was the magic. I love a tuna melt. I have never had a tuna melt like the one I had here. It was flavored with lemon and tarragon, packed full of tuna, and smothered in cheddar cheese on sourdough. It was SO yummy! I literally couldn't stop eating it. My husband had the special which was a French dip and he thought it was great. So if you want some really good eats, check out this sweet place. It's no wonder they were busy!“

“There's many bars / taverns / pubs etc. around the general area but this has become my partner and I's favorite and most visited spot to go out for food and drinks. They have an amazing beer selection and there food is made with so much love and soul.Everything on their menu is great from my experience but also they have a unique entree on special every day and a different scratch-made soup each day of the week. My partner and I order the specials almost every time we go: the entree or the soup or both! And they never disappoint. Their clam chowder (w/ bacon) is the best I've ever had. From their regular menu I highly recommend the french dip sandwich or any burger.“

“*21+ establishment*Upon arriving it was really busy , so with it being a seat yourself establishment it was a little tricky finding a spot at first. Once we were seated the service was pretty rapid from here on out. They have a sizable list of fully decorated hot dogs and sausages (craft beer as well but didn't try it) for a fair price. I had tried The Chicago outfit sausage and it came out juicy with a generous amount of condiments on top. I don't think you'd be disappointed trying anything on The Red Hot's menu.“

Steilacoom Tap Room Bar • $
1615 Lafayette St, Steilacoom - 4.91 miles

“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!"“

Hop Pharm Bar • $
3216 Judson St, Gig Harbor - 6.54 miles

“After living in Gig Harbor for nearly two years, I finally stopped to checkout Hop Pharm. It should not have taken me so long because it's a cool little spot.Chris was behind the bar serving up the beer and friendly chat. As it turns out, he manages the place.I can't remember the name of the beer Chris recommended, but it's one of the best IPA's I've had. There is a selection of twelve beers on tap along with a self-serve cooler with many more options to choose from.I sat Indoors, the place was impeccably clean with seating at the bar, side bar, and a couple of tables.There is also an outdoor seating area that has been enclosed with a soft sided enclosure with a propane heater to cozy it up.There are a few bagged snacks available for purchase other than that no food is served.Chris mentioned live music was on the calendar weekly.If you haven't visited Hop Pharm yet, I would recommend that you do. See you there!“

“Egghole reminds me of Eggslut. It isn't quite the same, but the idea and concept is there. I have driven by this location lots of times wanted to stop by and finally got around to doing so last weekend. There is a drive-thru, which is super convenient for those who are on-the-go. There is limited amount of parking and no indoor seating FYI. Once you enter inside, you are basically right at the cash register. The menu is pretty small, but regardless the items we ordered were delicious! I ordered the Walk of Shame, which is their #1 seller on the menu. It has soft scrambled eggs topped with caramelized onions, American cheese and sriracha mayo in a toasted brioche bun. My sister got the Friends with Benedicts, which has smoked bacon, a runny egg, and hollandaise served in a toasted brioche bun. Besides the two sandwiches, we both got drinks: Infinity & Beyond and Liquid Sunshine. Out of the two, we liked the Infinity & Beyond one more. My one complaint was the drink had a lot of ice in it, but it was the 16 oz. cups we ordered instead of the 24 oz.“

The pizza itself is also really fantastic - really creative flavors that don’t sacrifice novelty for taste. We had the Thai pizza (no chicken) and it was perfect. The jalapeño cheese breadsticks were also amazing and came out really quickly. Can’t wait to be back!“
