I must say the last few times I've been in there the customer service needs some work. When you ask somebody how they are or say hello you assume you'd get a response ?? Nope! Literally crickets. Nobody asked me if I needed help. I wasn't greeted when entering the store, the other locations are always way busier and always say hello and go the next step to ask if I need help or they can point me in a direction . Working in customer service myself; it's not hard to give a smile and say hello. Select selection is great most of the time.

They offer happy hour all day on Sundays, and since they don't take reservations, it's first come, first served. We arrived a little after 2 PM and there was plenty of open seating inside and out. This location is in the Spring District, which is super convenient if you're taking the light rail since it drops you off right there. It's located next to a park like plaza with a small grassy area and little water fountains. According to their website, kids are welcome in the restaurant and patio areas until 8 PM (but not in the bar area), which makes this a nice family friendly spot earlier in the day. Later on, the vibe seems like it would be perfect for catching a game, grabbing drinks with friends, and enjoying a more energetic brewery atmosphere. We started with two Moscow mules. Since that's one of our go to drinks and we've had quite a few, these weren't our absolute favorite here. They leaned more on the lime heavy side, and we weren't sure if the ginger beer was just a little flat. That being said, we still finished them! The Birria nachos were the highlight for me! They were so delicious, and the beer cheese sauce was SO good. I honestly just wished there was more of it because it added such a great flavor. My only small complaint is that I wish the toppings were spread out a little more evenly so every bite had a good mix, but overall they were still really tasty. The Mac Attack was also good, but it didn't completely wow us. If you're looking for an ultra thick, super creamy mac and cheese, this probably isn't that style. Still, it was a solid dish and enjoyable! Overall, we had a great first visit and would definitely come back to try more of the menu. Great location right in the heart of the Spring District with a fun atmosphere!

Don't be surprised by the small building because it plays out fairly large with a lot of seating and viewpoints to watch a game. I was there to watch a World Cup game and it was quite crowded but still comfortable. I ordered shrimp poppers. I had fries too. The bar food was fine. The server had a huge amount of tables and she was definitely running around to get to everyone. Considering the crowd that day I was actually happy with the service. I understand how hard it is to accommodate a huge crowd with the noise along with getting to all of the customers having worked in restaurants in my past. So thanks to our server, we did pay up before the game was done making it easy to leave at the end. I'd go back to the Pumphouse again because of nostalgia and ease! Oh and the location is definitely handy.

We shared a pizza and ordered two pasta dishes, and they even let us order a full bottle of wine instead of just a glass. Today's special pizza featured a pistachio sauce--it was creamy, refreshing, not overly salty, and served in a generous portion for one to two people. The pizza dough itself have very strong firewood aroma, which is lovely. We ordered the Pappardelle Bolognese, and the unique, wide pasta truly set it apart from what you typically find at other restaurants. Since we were still hungry, we also tried the Rigatoni Alla Vodka, which came with spicy sausage. While I expected more of a vodka flavor, the bold kick of the spicy sausage made it intriguingly flavorful. We couldn't resist today's special dessert, the Panna Cotta. It had a distinctive gelatinous texture and even looked cute as it jiggled on the plate. This cozy spot is perfect for a date or a girls' night out--ideal for sharing a bottle of wine and enjoying the authentic Italian ambiance.

When we walked in around 8:40 p.m., it was fairly empty inside, with only two or three small groups scattered around. Since we were stopping by on their "Wine Wednesday", wine taps actually carried a discount -- a nice unexpected surprise. TL;DR: Tapster is an awesome spot you have to check out if you're a beer lover. Never in my life have I had the opportunity to pour my own beer at a bar from so many different taps before. The wide variety of beers here is not something you see often. Most of the time when a place has a large beer menu, it's saturated with a bunch of lagers and IPAs. However, I was pleasantly surprised by how many sours, fruit beers, ciders and stouts they had here. My favorite beer of the evening was one that hot hot honey mixed in with it. While there are a few snacks available for purchase here, you are more than welcome to bring outside food in as well. Overall, Tapster is an awesome beer spot that I would highly recommend to others stopping by in the area.

Second, the prices are way out of line with the TWaM store a few miles away. Their regular prices are so high that TWaM regular price beats their sale price by $5. I guess this is why employees eagerly ask what you're looking for and then walk you to it and grab it off the shelf for you. They don't want you seeing the high prices and walking out like I did. Don't even get me started on their bogo scam. Go elsewhere and maybe something useful will take their place when they finally move out. Compare 4 Roses small batch and small batch select with Bevmo and any other area retailers and you'll see. Small batch select is $86.99 at Bevmo, under $60 at TWaM. Even grocery stores beat these guys prices by as much as 30%. It's outrageous gouging and this company doesn't deserve anyone's business.

We also found a half price pumpkin vodka, butterscotch Schnapps, and chocolate liqueur. The prices weren't too bad, but of course, the Washington state taxes were ridiculous. If you are looking for a specialty alcohol and need a couple groceries as well, I would suggest going to this store since it is all in one place, especially if you happen to be in the area. The person who checked us out seemed nice enough, but was not very knowledgeable about some of the specialty products. That was OK though since we didn't really have questions about anything. The store is laid out in a fairly easy to navigate way with similar alcohol types together and groceries way in the back.
