“We stop here frequently on our way to the Key Peninsula. We appreciate the wide selection of Washington made beers-to-go and the numerous beers and ciders on tap. They even had some non-alcoholic options, which was much appreciated for a pregnant mama at the time. On our most recent visit, we were surprised to see some improvements to the taproom had been made (new refrigerators and bar seating), which look great and made it easier for us to find new beers to take home to try. Definitely give them a try!“
“Beautiful brewery located right on the water in Gig Harbor. They have indoor and outdoor seating (with fire pits). On a clear day, you can see Rainier! Good beer selection (a lot of IPAs). There is also a Millville Pizza Co. food truck available. Parking can be limited on a weekend or busy days so plan accordingly!“
“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!“
“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.“
“Had The Big Lebowski with a tall root beer - insanely good. Only problem was I drank all the root beer too close to bedtime and it made me pee all over my wife’s aunt’s rug in the middle of the night. Man, that rug really tied the room together.“
“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.“
“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.“
“Great atmosphere, but they need to work more on their pizza doughPros:They have a beautiful yard with picnic tables and benches, and felt a great place to be on a warm sunny dayThey use high quality toppings on their pizzas, which is rare even for Neapolitan pizzas in WA, and practically non-existent for any other types of pizzaCons:They need to work more on their dough. It was very firm, unleavened, and felt unpleasantly chewy. I’m not sure if they were using tipo-00 flour, but if they did it was waste of an expensive ingredient.Even though the toppings were of high-quality, the balance wasn’t very impressive.Finally, the pizzas are 20% more expensive than comparable Neapolitan pizzas in Seattle area, but I guess this is normal for a restaurant on an island.“

“Beautiful little hidden gem in Tacoma.Parking can be a little hard, and the door easy to miss.Once you get in though, it's a gorgeous little, clean, chic, modern bar and bistro.We tried the Margherita pizza and the Spicy Vegan.Both are on point. Great chew and texture to the crust, and fresh, quality ingredients.“
“Cute, fun hole-in-the-wall tap room. Amazing ciders and sours. Tried the bbq pork pans and Toms sandwiches, best sandwich I’ve ever had. Staff was super cool and friendly. Will be back just for a sandwich. Very clean in there too. 4729/10 reccomend!“
“Although as the Proctor District goes this place is fairly new, it looks like it's been built for 100 years. It fits right in the Proctor District.The wait staff was very attentive and courteous. The food was quick and delicious. There are plenty of drink options and even drinks to go. It's a beer and wine place, although I prefer the cider. There was plenty of seating for us at lunch on a Saturday. Parking sometimes can be a bear but that's what it is in the area. I walked a block and a half wasn't too bad. I'll definitely be going back. Great place to bring friends from out of town.“
“I’m not sure what their hours actually are. I stopped at 1 PM on Saturday and they are not open. The hours posted in the window are the same posted on Google. No signage has two why they are closed nor what their actual hours are. I do love this place though when it is open.“
“We were in the Tacoma for a weekend and decided to try, it was a Sunday morning and a wait was to be expected 40 mins for 2 (we choose to sit anywhere and got the bar) but the service was amazing we met some locals there and it was nice to see them greet others by name. It seems like a staple in the community. Food and the award winning bloody mary was amazing! Thank you if we are ever back we will definitely visit the Hob Nob and the Wright Park right across the street is beautiful, perfect for walking after that delicious meal!“
“Went here a few days ago and it was great! Such great options for gluten free!! The burger and fries were so good! I can not wait to try the gluten free chicken strips! What a treat! My celiac daughter loved this place!Hope the dining in is open soon too!“
“Is this place worth a trip to Vashon? Probably. Definitely if you live in North America already. This place masquerades as a super-low-key bottle shop connected to an ice cream parlor/arcade, but it's more than that. The beer and wine selections are masterfully curated, and while the staff seem like super laid back people who just want to make sure you're having a good time, asking a few questions about anything makes you realize that they're actually complete experts about everything there, and will happily teach you anything about anything they sell there if you ask about it. And don't get me started on the food. Anything you order will be delicious and underpriced.Bring your kids, shove them off into the arcade and enjoy a couple hours there. It is one of my favorite things now.Kid-friendliness: Unassuming atmosphere and there is an arcade/ice cream shop next door, my kid loves this place.“
“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!“
“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.“
“We sat down and instantly felt welcomed. We came from out of town + we couldn’t have asked for a better environment. The bartender which I believe was the owner was so friendly and fun! The servers even made efforts to talk to us and crack jokes, drinks were great! We definitely recommend for the saloon vibe!“
“This is a great place! The owner and staff are always friendly, know their selections so they can make good recommendations for you. They have rotating taps, so you don't get tired of the same thing every time you go.If you are a dog lover, this is the place to go! They have an entire wall near the bathrooms called the "Woof Wall", I believe, that is nothing but doggies that have brought their humans with them for beers, treats, and good times.Some nights they have trivia, some days live music. They also hold special events for things like wine tasting from local wineries. I've had nice conversations with Hal on more than one occasion when it's not too busy, and he's always great to talk with.Give them a try. Summertime is great there with all the doors open, a gentle breeze off the water, and cold beer in hand. Also, try the tacos from the food truck in the parking lot. Excellent!!“
