24 Best Beer Bars near University Place

“Best date night spot. Love the nachos. Wife likes the THD pomegranate tequila drink. Definitely a cozy and warming atmosphere. Will def be here again. Thank you Thirsty Hound!“

“Food was fantastic, and speedy service. Drinks were very good (Bloody Mary with bacon). Aelysa and team have a great menu with lots of awesome choices. Keeps the authentic vibes of the Pine Cone of years past, but with a new and fresh take. Friendly folks and casual atmosphere. Highly recommend!“

“Nice relaxed feel to the restaurant.“

“Good food and beer. nice people.“

“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.“

“Nice area, but very hard to find parking. I like the outside seating and cozy chill inside atmosphere. The bartenders were very nice and accommodating even though they were very busy on a Friday night. The dreamsicle cider was such a treat.“

“Crafty beaver is a favorite local spot of mine. Whether going for a small catch up with friends, or going for their delicious flatbreads! My favorite is the bbq chicken.

Local selections of wine and craft beer. If you want to local experience of being a local here in Tacoma, this is the place to be.

Christina is so friendly and a joy!“

“great selection and staff!“

“This spot is awesome. Great pub vibes, awesome service and a great variety of delicious dogs and sides. I got the Big Lebowski and the Rainier Reuben with a side of Mac and cheese. The big lebowski is fantastic with the caramelized onions and peppers, the spicy mustard needs a bit of balance however, I added some saurkraut to it which did the job nicely and I would highly reccomend either that or dill pickle as an add on for this dog.

The Rainier was the star of the show though. It feels like a warm hug for your mouth and is definitely my top pick if I'm back here.

The Mac and Cheese is also phenomenal with a great texture and flavor that leaves you wanting more.“

“A to Z, this place is nailing it! Fantastic variety of food, 100% recommend their variety platter of sausage and more. The spicy cheese sausage was grand! The staff was so kind and attentive. Made friends around the fire and loved the beer! Will be there again! Prost!“

“Thank you for being so friendly and for giving us the free ice ❤️

New information - I just learned that the ice machine is cleaned quite regularly here and I'll tell you folks, this is a clean establishment. Most bars and restaurants don't attend to their ice machines regularly and this is a big deal. Mold grows on unclear surfaces, even in the icy cold! Trust this place with your drink because you won't be disappointed.

Please disregard the negative reviews of The Steilacoom Taproom because I can promise you, after reading them, they are wrong!“

“Phenomenal food! Cheesy bread twists are definitely a must as well. Best pizza i have ever had and the customer service/attentiveness is top notch definitely 5 ⭐️“

“This is a perfect spot for a relaxing afternoon. The indoor space is spacious and inviting and the outdoor area is really well put together. I love the view of the fountain and being able to watch the golfers. The service has always been great every time I’ve gone. The baristas are attentive and friendly. I’ll be back!“

“Best beer & wine pub in Gig Harbor“

“This place got me through a rough patch. The beer is amazing, the staff is amazing and the view is amazing. Nothing more peaceful than watching the boats come and go, and it's even more incredible when the mountain is out. Made some new friends and had some nice beers.“

“the service an food {says the cook}“

“Tonight I had the pleasure to try the cuisine at the new Port Orchard location. Yareli took charge of my order at my request. I was served the best fish taco's with Verde Salsa and lime. The three taco's reminded me of eating a chefs delightful creation at a high end Bistro. I was instantly transported back in time to Mazatlán eating on the playa. I would not order fish taco's normally and Yareli picked this winner for me. Each bite was followed by a uhmmm. I expected something to tear me out of this euphoric moment but after downing three taco's I was still firmly planted in Heaven. I was wise to drip the juices and seasoning from the taco into the rice. What a nice way to accent my meal. I braced myself for the refried beans that had grown cool but found them very fresh and delicious. Yareli inquired if I would desire a dessert. I asked her to pick it since her performance on the meal was top notch. Yareli provided a strawberry filled fried churro with the most delicate aroma. I would have licked the plate if I thought I could do it without being seen. Every bite was warm, sweet and delicious. Please don't think ill of me but the only downside to this experience was cheap silverware and the food is placed on a metal tray with a paper liner. It's my own fault after being in the military so long to develop a phobia over dining utensils. So in a nutshell my experience is on par with being given a shiny new high performance car but with the wrong style valve caps for the tires. I have been truly blessed to have this experience on a rainy night in Port Orchard Washington.“

“I finally made it to Spanky's. I had a Bleu cheese double burger. It was the best burger I've had in awhile. The staff was polite and friendly. I will be back Thank You.“

“The best selection of beers in the state. The rotation is and creation of a solid beer lineup. Incredible. Never the same selection twice the owner in Bartender is one of the nicest people I’ve ever met in my life. What a fabulous experience.!“

“The Hob Nob has a very nice variety of food choices to pick from, the bar has a diverse variety of choices as well, with great people to serve you, the atmosphere there is always good.“

“Great Sunday brunch! Breakfast cocktails and food were great today!“

“great staff! the owner is awesome!! 🧡🧡🧡“

“The beer selection is second to none in the area. The breakfast sandwiches are so good I cannot stop thinking about them. I had the egg salad sandwich with arugula and a delicious wasabi sauce that paired so well with a delicious Pilsner from Melvin brewing. I also had the walk of shame sandwich and the cheese and chives were the perfect combination and exactly what you are looking for in a breakfast sandwich. The buns they use here are of noticeable quality hold up well to the hearty sandwiches. The staff here is also very friendly and makes you feel like a regular even if you are 300 miles from home.“

“Great place for family gathering“
