As many of the other reviewers have mentioned, do not let the outside of the bar fool you, it's a lot bigger in the inside than you would expect. I got the Spectral Vision, which had a nice hoppy taste but a smooth finish. This particular bars claim to fame is being the first brewery in the city of Tacoma. The bar is very bright and filled with light, which is both a pro and a con. Reason being is the area is easily maneuverable however it feels like it's bright morning which may be difficult when navigating from a dark environment into a light one and vice versa. However, an added bonus is the doggie with an America bandanna that wanders around (and likes to eat his/hers stash of cookies from the cookie jar), so that in itself is a major plus. A very nice and relaxed environment, a lot of locals in the bar, with their own brewery enclosed in glass around the bar itself. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a local bar flair. read more

One of the best pizza spots in Tacoma. I love that they have weekly specials and try to get something new each time - but honestly the Radiator, Upper White Trash, and Mash Tun are my favorite. read more

AHHHHmazing! Friendly staff, dog friendly, great drinks and bomb food!! This place is a gem.

I was on the hunt for a spot that was dog friendly AND had great food. Oddly hard to come by in Tacoma. There were a few options but E9 stood out to me. Pizza was super good! Everyone was more than welcoming of dogs. read more

Literally my favorite pepperoni pizza in Tacoma. Perfect crust, quality ingredients and great people! I'd love to see some craft root beers for the sober crowd read more

I absolutely love this place. 1 There beer is killer. 2 the staff is awesome. 3. they partner with Holy mountain in seattle to do some killer collabs. I honestly cannot speak high enough of this place. I visited their restaurant before the brewery and it was not what we were expecting but the food and beer were good. Now that there is a more brewery focused location I love it. Like I said its amazing beer and it may actually be my favorite Tacoma spot. The outside area is awesome. As a person who lives in the pacific northwest nothing is nicer than having a solid patio during the times when the sun is out. They have great games and a great atmosphere. I cant wait until after the covid and fires so we can go back and hang there. Grab some beers, try their pizza, and hang out!! read more

E9 Brewing - Breweries Near Me - Tacoma, Washington

A brand-spanking-new addition to the beer scene here, in the form of an expansion by Tacoma's granddaddy of craft breweries. They get a ton of capacity to brew, and the perfect amount of capacity for people to come drink. This whole corner of downtown has gone from a crime zone decades ago to a bunch of empty buildings more recently to new construction and cool reclaimed spaces today. The brewing industry is good at turning old warehouses and power stations and other architectural oddities into thriving hangouts, and this is just the latest example. There's only so much parking around here, but inside there's a clean, bright, brand-new taproom with plenty of tables and barstools. On the other side of pretty floor-to-ceiling glass walls is a big warehouse space full of barrels, a cold room, and lots of shiny steel tanks and vessels where the suds grow. There is a flat screen tuned to the game over there, and a bar space with about 15 taps, some bottles, and a couple wines and hard seltzers. They have food, and the pizza certainly smells incredible. The staff are youngish and super friendly, helpful, and well-informed about the lineup of beers. They're great. Prices are very fair here, and if you didn't know, the beers at E9 are exceptional. Tons of great sours and explosively flavorful IPAs, plus plenty of other styles. They're internationally recognized for great beer, and we're lucky to have them. read more

Good menu & food, quality service, great ambiance. Tacoma classic for the whole family

I chose to hit up this brewery yesterday to watch the Seahawks game for a few reasons. I'm a huge craft beer enthusiast and I also follow this brewery on ig. I've also tried a couple of E9's beers at Teku Tavern in Seattle and I absolutely loved their ipa's. When I arrived I was really surprised that it wasn't very busy. I didn't mind it because I was able to get a great seat to watch the game. For my beer I chose to try the Pogo Stick Mosaic IPA and it was really good. Then I went on to order one of their pizza's from the list. I decided to go with "La Margarita" ($15) made with No cook red sauce, jalapeño gouda, cilantro, romano dusting. Pizza was really good I just wished that it was bigger Lol. Perhaps I was super hungry. This brewery is definitely worth checking out! read more

Good drinks. (The ginger lime hard seltzer was very refreshing!) Great pizza (even the vegan one!). Awesome dog-friendly patio. Would return! read more

This is one of the two best pizzas in Tacoma in my opinion. A different special every week and they are always creative and amazing. I have tried three pies on the menu and every one of them was among the best I ever had. The service is always friendly and I usually do take out since I live close. Seriously, you need to try it. It's worth it. read more

So happy to have E9 in our area! This location is great for getting drinks and food. I don't like beer, but have successfully found a few that I can enjoy from E9. I have only sat outside, but they have two indoor seating spaces that are for larger groups. Each time I've been it has been pretty busy, but I always have been able to get a spot without having to stand around and wait. If you're like me, I always like food with my alcohol, and E9 as a few choices: charcuterie and pizza. The charcuterie platter is DIY, which just meant we had to cut the meat and cheese. Don't know about you, but that didn't bother me. I've also had a pizza there. I'd consider it a thin crust, which always have the potential of getting burnt/crispy. Ours was perfect though! Nice. Bonus: sometimes there are cute dogs there. read more

Came here after hearing great things about their pizza and brews. Was not disappointed at all! Me and my SO ended up ordering The Radiator pizza and loved it. It had this lavender oil glaze that we were concerned about at first but ended up loving the taste of it on the pizza. It doesn't really have a lavender taste and ends up complimenting the pepperonis very well. Also tried a couple beers while we were there and enjoyed those as well. Highly recommend the Bing Cherry wild ale. read more

E9 Brewing - The Radiator - Breweries Near Me - Tacoma, Washington

This is probably the best new brewery in Tacoma. The beers here are outstanding. Lots of variety from Belgian styles to sours to IPAs everything is excellent. They have some food on the menu, more appetizer style but it sounds like they're trying to add more. The staff here are friendly and knowledgeable about beer. It's a great stop, I would highly recommend trying a beer here. read more

New addition to the unofficial brewery district in this part of Tacoma. Good selection of house beers on tap. Beers themselves are OK. Middle of the pack for the Tacoma. Outdoor seating area is interesting..great views, but I feel like I'm sitting inside of a prison exercise yard due to the the barbed wire surrounding the entire perimeter of the outdoor seating area. Food truck was surprisingly good. I'll definitely be back. read more

We went to this place because it was close to the Tacoma dome before a concert. The parking was easy. We ordered beer (I had station wit) which was delicious! We also ordered to pizzas (one pepperoni with lavendar and a three meat) Which took about 30 mins to cook. The atmosphere is really neat - indoor and outdoor with open dog policy. I love it. You can see the steel chambers as well as the wooden barrels inside. The patio area was small but decorated with lights. read more

I stopped in for the first time with dog and son in tow. We all really liked the vibe here - really chill and welcoming. Our server was super friendly and really made us feel welcome. There's a large outdoor area with plenty of tables to give four-legged friends space to relax (in the shade, no less). All of the beers we tried were great, and there are a lot of styles to choose from. There are plenty of snacks available and they have a limited sandwich menu as well. We'll definitely be back. read more

I would give six stars if possible. If the amazingly interesting pizzas aren't captivating the warm Brussels sprout salad is unlike anything on the planet. The brews, the staff, the food, and the ability to bring our dog makes this place a constant go to for us. read more

There wasn't an ability to leave 10 stars, so i'll settle with 5. I have ALWAYS loved this place but today takes the absolute cake. I got to E9 right when it opened today so I could grab a good spot in front of the projector to watch the Mariners playoff game. Grabbed my beer from Todd and got all situated front and center. The projector was a bit pixilated on the screen so it was a little hard to focus on what we were seeing. Todd pulled out all the stops to make sure there was a resolution. I'm not kidding...he took out a 40 foot latter and climbed up to the projector to make sure the lense didn't have dust on it. After about 20 min of trying any and everything that would help, HE DID IT!! I can now watch my Mariners get this win and move on to the stupid Astros in the playoffs all because he kept trying until he found a solution. I FREAKIN' LOVE THIS PLACE!!!! Thanks, Todd and go Mariners!!! read more

Welcome to the neighborhood! We are so happy to have this new location a couple blocks from our place. This is the go to brewery to go for "experimental" beers - I especially loved the wild bing cherry and O'Leary's milk stout. My husband loves their IPAs too! They serve DIY charcuterie, baguettes and snacks & possibly roaring food trucks (Sirius Pizza was there today) read more

We stopped in yesterday around 4:00 to try their pizza and get a beer. I was excited because my friend really likes this place and suggested it. I'd say the first annoying thing was when we got there, we couldn't figure out where to go in the front door. We were literally walking back and forth. For anybody who decides to go, it's a red unlabeled door. Second, there wasn't any sign telling us what to do. I saw a couple of tables available, but I didn't know if I needed to be seated, so by the time I was able to ask someone, those tables were taken. We did eventually get to sit down and I ordered a cider, but we decided not to stay. It was loud and insanely crowded for any time, especially covid times, and we have been out to eat a lot. There were so many dogs inside. I didn't even know that was okay. I'm totally fine with dogs on the patio, but we were inside the building. Anyhow, I left bummed that I didn't get to try their pizza and was hungry, so not the best first impression. read more

I love a cozy spot with counter service. This place has indoor and enclosed-ish outdoor space where dogs are welcomed. (and a love a good dog friendly place). It's very casual. The pizza was tasty and had a thinner crust, which means you can eat more. One pizza was good for 2 people. read more

This was hands down the best pizza i've had in Tacoma!! We had the Radiator, the Margarita, the Spicy Calabrian, and the Mash Tun. Would 11/10 recommend. Very cute seating outside as well, lots of dogs, and super friendly people. GO GET SOME PIZZA RIGHT NOW. read more

E9 Brewing - The Radiator - Breweries Near Me - Tacoma, Washington

If you are an existing fan of E9 brews, this is the place for you. If you are looking to discover new brews and desire a flight of beers this isn't necessarily the place for you as they do not offer flights, just 5oz pours. Eclectic beer selection, as you would expect from Tacoma. Trendy atmosphere, nice outdoor seating area and large screen available to watch the local game. The only food offered is a collection of enticing, inventive pizzas. But the buck stops there. The execution of The Radiator pizza left much to be desired between the super thin and flimsy crust and the saturation of pepperoni grease. read more

E9 Brewing - The Radiator - Breweries Near Me - Tacoma, Washington

Came here during a sunny afternoon during COVID. After seeing high reviews, my expectations were high. The beer was very good. I tried the "Pasadena with Love," which is a lovely, refreshing wild ale, and "Aeons," which is their signature farmhouse ale. The latter was tasty, a bit on the tart side, but not as good as the Pasadena. I also tried the Spicy Calabrian pizza, which has red sauce, sausage, mozzarella, & ricotta. Herein lies my biggest gripe. This 14" pie cost $19. It was very tasty, by west coast pizza standards, but $19 is borderline obscene. I get the uniqueness of the "wood fired" concept, which is one of the most well executed in the area, but at the end of the day, it is pizza. Normally pies like this make sense in the $10-$12 dollar range, $15 max. The premium here is so egregious, that it's enough to knock what is otherwise a 4-star establishment down to 3, which is a shame. That said, the dough is the best part, again well executed & tasty. I wish the cheese were a bit fresher (the ricotta in particular) and slightly less sauce (can make the pie a bit soggy), but these are nitpicks. Also, my pie came out slightly cooler than I expected, not piping hot, which suggested it may have been sitting for just a touch too long in the kitchen. I will probably return here for the beer, but I can't bring myself to pay $19 again for the pizza. read more

One of my favorite hangout spots on a weekend day when I want to go sit and have a beer by myself. Usually get a pizza to go, which are also delicious. Maddy is always a gem, as well as (I think his name is) Todd. They're both always really welcoming. Great merch, great beer & a decent amount of seating (indoor as well as covered outdoor (with heaters for the PNW weather) Overall; one of my top 3 Tacoma spots. read more

Good beer, friendly staff and unique salads and pizza options. Was our first time there last night and arrived before the rush - which worked out well for us - until we needed to close our tab. It took 15-20 mins of standing in line just to do that when we were ready to go - which was the only negative. They should set it up that you can order food and pay online since staffing appears to be an issue (as with most places these days). The place filled up quickly starting around 5:30-6:00 (on a Saturday) so if we visit again on a weekend we won't open a tab and just pay as we go. We will definitely try this place again. read more
