    Looked not so happening from the outside, but such a fun spot in Forks! I can see why it is a local favorite. Vibrant and loud - people are having a gala time here playing games, watching sports and doing tastings. Our group had a good time here playing Uno while sipping on the ciders. Huckleberry and spiced apple cider are the two best options on the menu. A must visit when planning to go to Olympic national park and Forks.

    Probably one of the best dining options in Forks - there weren't very many options in town and this seemed like the best one from our Yelp research. My panini sandwich was pretty good, I wish it was a bit bigger but solid for lunch or a quick snack. The highlight was definitely the ciders/beers on tap, they had a good variety of flavors and sizes. You can even purchase growlers to-go. I ordered the 10 oz Watermelon Basil and Pineapple ciders, which were both very refreshing and yummy. My friend ordered the sampler, which came with four 5 oz flavors of her choice. There's indoor and outdoor seating available, and some games like Connect 4 inside near the fireplace. I definitely recommend this cozy spot if you're in the area!

    Great find just outside of Olympic National park! Popular for tourists and locals alike.

    This is not our first choice to eat dinner when we visited Forks recently. We ordered panini sandwiches because they don't have any other options. We were satisfied with our sandwiches and the service. You can choose indoor seating or outside or even options to sit at the bar, high tables, and comfy larger chairs. It was a nice experience.

    In a town where every unique establishment is a gamble, you can be rest assured the Westend Taproom Tip and Sip is a winning bet every time. But do yourself a favor and heed the warnings, they Do Not allow anyone under 21 on premises, no exceptions, their license requires it. Not only does this awesome little pub offer a clean and crisp environment, but they also offer a wonderful variety of craft beers and wine to satisfy even the pickiest of palates. With plenty of comfortable seating options indoors and out, there is no chance of getting bored with the great selection of games and TVs available. This awesome little gem has been in the hands of a couple of great owners who truly love the community, it is the best pub in Forks! Cheers!!

    What can I say. This place is amazing! From the minute you walk in until you leave, the friendly customer service, cozy atmosphere, cleanliness, and amazing food and beer treat you right. They have a great selection of ice cold beer on tap. The Panini's are amazing and the made to order hot chocolate chip cookies are a must order. Would highly recommend this to anyone traveling through the area or living in the area.

    On a Monday, this was the choice to eat. The food selection was shallow and not terribly good. Service was great. Ambiance was fair.

    Stopped in as we were driving through town. We were seated quickly with our server coming quickly…read morewith menus and waters. Menu is super straight forward with burgers and salads on the one side and wraps appetizer and soups on the other. Menu is well laid out with lots of burger choices and several salads to choose from. Hubbs had a cup of chowder, came out hot and full flavored. He also ordered the French dip, came with side winder fries, which are big and delicious. I ordered the Oriental chicken salad which was big and flavor filled. Very tasty and lots of chicken!! As this IS a bar and grill, there were tvs on with sports, pool tables being used and various conversations going on...however WE could still talk and be heard w/o shouting. Place is clean, servers are quick and friendly - would return again and tell others to stop by as well. A great place!

    THE REALEST REVIEW YOULL GET ABOUT THIS PLACE. The food was actually pretty good, but the service…read morewas so bad I can't give this place anything more than 1 star. We sat down and waited almost 30 minutes without even getting water. The same server walked past me probably 5 times while I was trying to get her attention and ask if we could order, and she just kept ignoring me. Meanwhile, the two white couples sitting right next to us were constantly being checked on and getting service. I'm brown, and after watching this happen over and over, it genuinely felt like I was being treated differently because of my race. Then a guy I was talking to had his son come inside just to ask his parents to order something for him. He looked around 20 or 21, and they immediately kicked him out. He wasn't causing any problems or doing anything disrespectful. The whole interaction was just unnecessarily rude. The ordering made absolutely no sense either. I tried ordering onion rings and was told I couldn't order any more food, while the people next to us were literally still ordering food. Then I was told I could order them for takeout, so I sat back down, and suddenly I was told takeout wasn't allowed either. I ended up waiting around 40 minutes just to order. The crazy part is some of the food was actually really good. The mac and cheese balls were really good and so were the fries. The elk burger was easily the worst thing we ordered and basically just tasted like a regular burger. I probably would've rated the food pretty well on its own, but the service completely ruined the experience. The place inside is also pretty nice. They have a nice bar and pool tables. So mad I ate 7 bites max and threw away their terrible service food. I'm not going to upload any photos, almost threw up looking at it because of the service I received.

It was a perfect way to spend a few hours. It was a pleasant Spring afternoon and it was busy. There is seating indoors and outdoors. We chose seats at the window indoors. Once a big crowd left, it was a lot more pleasant for us -- we like a bit of space and quiet brewery whenever possible. It seems timing, depending on what you prefer is the key to success when visiting here. The beers were delicious. I went with a dark beer, high abv. It was the Doppelback. My husband had a saison Brett for ironic reasons. They were both delicious. It was so lovely just hanging out and enjoying the brewery. Staff were friendly and seemed like they loved every bit of their job. The washrooms were clean. There was a Mac and Cheese pop up stand/truck. Families ordered from it while we were there and the kids sure seemed to enjoy it. Parking can be tricky when it's busy. We ended up parking on the side of the road. Who cares, though. The beers were worth it! See website for more details.

We had a 15-20 min wait on a busy Tuesday night but we're glad we waited! Our server was friendly and helpful with choosing cocktails because they had a to. Of unique selection. Haven't ordered more than one at a restaurant before but had to try two here! We thoroughly enjoyed our final selections of Ginny from the Block, Garden era, strawberry bourbon smash and Blackberry goose beer! For our mains we got the alaskan cod and chips and Blackened cod tacos and loved it all. They really know how to prepare tasty cod! The Alaskan cod and chips had the perfect crispy texture and my blackened cod tacos had all the flavor profiles you need. A hint of heat in the Thai chili slaw with a creamy avocado, Crema and the brightness of mango salsa and of course a touch of sour with the HOUSE made pickled red onions. Even better they let me substitute corn tortillas in for the flour. But you can't mix and match your proteins. I didn't need to because I loved both of my blackened cod tacos. The atmosphere is in the name: cozy Gastropub. They have a plethora of beers on tap, but parking is solely on the street so a little bit more challenging than picking your beer but I don't think it would be too challenging if you're up for a small walk. We were able to walk from our Airbnb, so didn't have to figure that part out. Pretty sure it was farther than any walk you might have to do for parking!

Our waitress was very nice as well as knowledgeable about all the types of cider. I enjoyed the cherry one very much. I opted to go with the traditional 'birds and bees cider', which was a very refreshing apple cider with pear which was so easy to drink and just perfect on the hot day. The cidery has lovely grounds you could walk about and has a well stocked cidery store inside the barn. We thoroughly enjoyed the atmosphere here and hope to visit again.
