Waitress couldn't get from behind the bar because she had to entertain her friends gathered there. When asked for something, a snippy "I'll get to you" and then another 20 minutes later she arrives. After waiting for one last glass for nearly 30 minutes, with food still on the table, I went to the bar at 8:55 to ask for another round, greeted by a snarled "I called last call 10 minutes ago." Take your business to a place that wants it.

Nice comfortable place with beer, but alas, no food offerings. They have a food truck outside that…read moreI assume is open at some point, but not for us when we stopped in. It has some comfortable seating around, so we ordered beers at the bar and sat outside. They had 12 (I believe) beers on tap - 10 of thier own and 2 NA ones from somewhere else. As a self proclaimed beer snob, none were really that great.

Great little spot with indoor and outdoor seating…read more Bands outside and food trucks. We sat at the bar and ordered a flight of beer to try some different styles. Bartender was great, beer was good, loved this spot. Stained glass artwork behind the bar was cool.

Is it the ample bleu cheese crumbles, candied pecan chunks, or dried cranberries??? It's all of it. Maybe it's the low lights and inviting sense of brewery in the air. Maybe it's just the beer.

Decided to have a small quick lunch here at this place. Matt was the bartender. It was very…read morefriendly. I ordered the BLT and had a black logger, which was one of their flagship beers. Place with a little slow, but that was only because I was there within the first half an hour opening. The place is very clean, very organized and they had merchandise and a very visually appetizing from within. The BLT came out and it was very good. The sun-dried tomato mayo was phenomenal. There was a lot of bacon and the tomatoes were very crisp and fresh which had added a bunch of flavor to the sandwich. I would definitely come back again if I live closer and check out more items off the food menu. I did end up buying merchandise which was a tin sign and some stickers to go home with.

Such a great store! Went in looking for a specific thing after searching for upwards of a month at…read moreother stores, and when I saw their selection I was floored. Not only did they have what I was looking for, but a fantastic selection of other things I have been dying to try as well! Great service to match as I was met with conversation about what I was looking for and different things that fit my taste, and after picking up what I had long searched for as a very special occasion, I will 100% be returning!

The pizza is SOOO good, and the staff is always real nice. Been back a few times to make sure it…read morewas as good as it seemed the first time...and it always is! We'd been meaning to try this place ever since we moved to Oly a few years ago, and man we should have tried it sooner, it has become our favorite pizza along with (but entirely different than) Old School. Oly Taproom is a great place to eat and chill, or to meet friends, have a conversation or people watch, and on nice days they often open the garage door type windows making the inside seating feel like part of the outside, which is cool. As a bonus, after your meal, the Percival Landing boardwalk is right across the street, so you can take a walk and take in the lovely views. Besides the beer on tap, there are more in the coolers, as well as some soda options (and I think iced teas?). I'm not a big beer drinker but the staff is always great about helping me choose the right one based on my preferences, and because there are hops in the pizza sauce, the pizza & beer combination is especially delicious. But for non-beer drinkers, the pizza is still super tasty and the sourdough crust always cooked just right.

Had a great time at Oly Taproom and would absolutely recommend it. They have a really solid…read moreselection of beers with a nice mix of local and regional options, making it easy to find something you'll enjoy whether you're experimenting or sticking with a favorite. I didn't try the food on this visit, but everything coming out looked good, especially the pizza. It's definitely on my list for next time because it looked like the perfect pairing with their beer selection. One of the highlights was getting to interact with one of the owners during the visit. That kind of personal connection really stands out and makes you want to continue supporting places like this run by people who clearly care about what they're building and the community around them. Overall, Oly Taproom feels like the kind of local spot worth returning to again and again. I'll definitely be back.

Located at the Capital Mall, Total Wine is a liquor superstore. On weekends, they offer tasting sessions of new release liquors, kinda like the demos at Costco, though you cannot keep going back for more. The staff is generally knowledgeable and the selection can be overwhelming for the uninitiated. If unsure, ask an associate. Prices are very reasonable, and this place is great for adult gift giving. Enjoy (responsibly)!

Really wanted to love this place. But the inattentive and semi-passive FOH staff made it difficult…read more They're still a newer storefront in Oly, in time they may grow and reflect better customer service. Pros: Chill lounge/sitting area at the front corner with sofas, a low bar (accessibility friendly) and board games. Big tables to accommodate groups and various bar seating. Large brewery menu screens with large range and the food looked good. Tbh we came for brews so can't comment on food. The Wildman Beer brand was so-so. Some better than others! Cons: FOH staff interaction. Why we love pubs/breweries is because of the chill, friendly, conversational flow of FOH; their knowledge of the beers and/or cocktails, their passion for sharing it with new customers so they come back again and again ... this vibe fell short at Wildman. TL;DR Good for a basic group of people looking for a brewery experience in town with room for large groups. Not for those who are expecting an awesome brewery experience -- a la PDX, DEN, PHX, ATX or SEA.

But when I saw that they opened up a location in Olympia and Steve and I were going to Olympia for a show it made perfect sense to go to this new location. Downtown where our show was is super walkable and this brewery is right there. When we went in what escaped my attention at the Raymond location was that I was particularly impressed with their own mead selection. And the mead did not disappoint in the slightest. The first mead I had was their Oak Aged Classic Mead. Such fantastic balance in body and the oak flavor was truly impressive! I got another mead from the list, the Sneaky Bastard Meer. It's called meer I believe due to the five different kinds of hops they put into it. Great floral and honey flavored highlights! Our experience here was excellent! Steve enjoyed his drink selections as well! Definitely returning for more mead enjoyment!
