“ I absolutely love the Tap Room. Atmosphere is great, Service is great, Knowledgeable on how to craft a cocktail and great live entertainment. Highly Recommend!!! ”
“ Thursday is steak night, Dine in only, starting at 5pm. Worth the trip for 20 steak and side. Get there early it fills up fast. Counter order take your number and find a table. Fresh and nice portions. There is karaoke and a band starting around 6:30-ish, you've been . Great variety of beer and cocktails. I Reccomend to try if in town. Certainly a bar/pub feel with a stellar kitchen. ”
“ Steve and his team do an excellent job. The food is spectacular and the drinks are strong. Give them a try! If the Krewe of Olympia calls it home it has to be good. ”
“ Very good as always. This time a soft shell crab poboy, crispy sweet potato fries waffle style and huge fabulous wings. ”
“ BEST burgers on the Northshore! The patties are always fresh and juicy, plus they butter and flash grill the potato buns and they're soo good. Try the burger on Texas toast if you're up for something different--it's my fav, and they're always happy to make any substitutions you request. Sweet potato fries are always my side of choice. Wings are also a solid bet and consistent crowd pleaser! Friendly staff, casual vibes, and tons of beer options on tap which is fun when you want to try something new. ”
“ It's a fun place to hang out with your friends and see live bands, like The Skitch, which is totally awesome and plays a variety of genres. ”
“ 01-07-2025 The menu is on the mend... but still some weirdness remains. The Cuban sandwich is almost as good as it once was. Burgers and some sandwiches are amazing... but be careful asking first cheese... no substitutions! Still... sometimes it happens. Nashville Hot Chicken sandwich is my current recommendation. Rating raised. 10-01-2024 None of the good original items remain! The last hold out was the awesome chicken sandwich they had... now, it's a chicken tender sandwich. I'm done. It's too easy to eat elsewhere. 6-2024 Please disregard my previous reviews. Few of mentioned items remain on the menu. Ratings lowered. 11-2023 Still one of my favorites, but recent changes to the menu have me and my friends concerned about their commitment to serving high-quality food. I have always been impressed, considering it's a bar... we'll see how it shapes up. 4-2023 Come here a lot... and the food will knock your socks off for a beer joint. Got the cuban sandwich this time and added bacon to it! New pics uploaded. 2-2023 I'm here quite often now and have perfected my order! Friends always go with the French Dip sandwich... but for me... it's the Buffalo Fried Chicken sandwich. Wait, there's more... I add pepper-jack cheese and bacon, then some extra raw onions... outrageous! Check my pics... the food rocks here. 9-27-2022 Returned for trivia twice in the last three weeks and had great experiences. Had the hand-dipped corn dog last time, but the Cuban sandwich is crazy good. It's probably one of the largest Cubans I have had, and unlike the typical dryness found in most... this sandwich has flavorful pulled pork and a creamy dose of mayo and pickles that really make each bite better than the last. I ate the whole thing and definitely was completely satiated after! We had a great trivia night experience. Upped to 5 stars. Previously... Almost had a train wreck of an experience here recently, brought the entire department, 10 people, for lunch and with an empty room weird stuff happening from the start. Like what? Well, if the manager hadn't made it right... I might have told you. But, after a short battle to see who had the most patience... we did iron it out, and the manager made good. While some of the 10 guests may not return, I have always had great experiences here. Still one of my favorites! ”
“ Nice place, a little small for the band tonight . Groovy 7 was groovy. Bartender's were very efficient, nice and could hear over the music. Over all a 9 on a scale of 8. If you are ever on this side of the lake for anything and looking for a night out I recommend highly recommend the Columbia Street Tap Room and Grill. ”
