Really wanted to love this place. But the inattentive and semi-passive FOH staff made it difficult. 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. read more

I was at the Wild Man Brewery in Raymond a few summers ago. At the time I liked the beer well enough. 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! read more

The owner was our server and she was fantastic! Beer was good, food was delicious. So glad we stopped in during our quick trip to Olympia.

This place was really tasty! I had the pineapple coconut beer which was a little light on the flavor. The food, however was delicious. We shared the onion rings which were light and crispy, some of the best I've had. I had the patty melt with a side of au jus. It was really good! The French dip also looked tasty. If you're looking for someplace in Olympia definitely check this out! read more

Ask about the Corndog Millionaire! Seriously, that's your first assignment and a good reason to go! Never had Meade before, so this place gave me a wonderful introduction. Take flight with a flight of Meades for an affordable price. There are over 15 types of Meade offered here! Various levels of sweetness and alcohol content! Some may be sweet and strong! The bar has tots and the famous Corndog--freshly made in house. I hadn't eaten a Corndog since the 90s when I was a kid! The taste brought me back! Again, ask about the Corndog millionaire! He's a legend! Let's Meade up here soon! read more

Thank you for adding to the vibrancy of downtown. Great beer selection and enjoyed variety of entertainment read more

Had a great meal and great service from Emily today. I had the bleu burger with grilled onions and hubby had the mushroom burger. Both burgers were tasty and we liked the buns. Star of the show were the onion rings which are the best we've had in as long as we can remember. Thick cut and they hand dip them in house made beer batter to order. Light, crispy and flavorful. Any other onion rings will be a let down from here on out!!! Our server was very knowledgeable about the beers and my beer aficionado hubby enjoyed discussing the wide array of options they had. Oh, and they had a flag expressing inclusivity. What a bizarre review someone made regarding bumper stickers on customers cars in their parking lot, like they have control over what the general public does read more

Wild Man Brewing Gastropub - Out of this world onion rings. Hand dipped in house beer batter to order - Pubs Near Me - Olympia, Washington

Wow. The place is great. I sat at the bar and got help with a choice of beer. Stout was great. One became two. I had a Reuben sandwich which was warm and excellent. The reviews talked about onion rings I had them you should too. The service is first class. Trivia night kept everyone involved. read more

Our first visit to this location, oddly enough closer to our house than the Raymond location, where we've been many times. Great vibe here in downtown Olympia. Variety of meads and beers available. Friendly, fast service. read more

I went here last night with my friend and ordered the only veggie burger on the menu. I was disappointed to see the lack of vegan/vegetarian options. The veggie burger had WAYYY too much mayonnaise and I was disappointed by the lack of creativity in their only vegetarian option. I would love more vegan options here, until then I will not be returning for the food. On the other hand, my friend was very pleased with his dish. This place does have a wonderful selection of beers and ciders, and the staff were lovely and very attentive. Please be more inclusive to who can eat at your restaurant. read more

This was a fun stop, we just had a quick drink and snack. Friendly, clean- and overall enjoyable.

Stopped here for a late lunch while on a recent road trip. About to transition ownership, the soon to be owner engaged with us on our preferences and consistently solicited feedback. The deep-fried carrots were amazing - almost a tempura vibe, and the carrot texture was both smooth and crisp (hard to explain, but just order them and decide for yourself). My friend and I split a couple of beer flights, but they were out of quite a few (due to the upcoming ownership change) so filled them out with mead selections. Chose Sangria Mead as a wild card and loved it. If it wasn't a five-hour flight away, I'd be back on the regular! read more

I am not a brewpub fan however, we met up with some people who wanted to go here. I was not disappointed, but I prefer more drink options than beer. That doesn't mean it's not for you, it just isn't for me. I would recommend this brew pub for those who enjoy them. read more

The beer and mead selection is great, I like the atmosphere. The service was good, even very good. However, if you are going to call yourself a "gastropub" the food had better be a cut above regular pub food. It simply isn't. The appetizer menu is bland and unimpressive. Don't get me wrong, the food is ok, only not unique or impressive. There are a lot of breweries within walking distance of this one who might be considered a gastropub who are really busy on a Friday afternoon....this one isn't though they sell themselves as a gastropub. I'd love to see them succeed, they are close, but the menu....please step it up! read more

Initially went in for a quick drink with my wife but the menu looked so good and they were having a painting night, that we ran home and got the kids . Joe was working and saved the comfy couches for us while we ran home. Food was terrific. Beer was amazing. My daughter painted a Sasquatch with the help of the traveling artist. Joe was the best. We will be back. read more

Excellent beer selection. I recommend the raspberry mead. One of the few places with a big mead selection. The bbq burger is also solid. When I went they had an open mic night and it was a really nice ambiance. read more

Mmm first time I've ever had deep fried oysters and they were delish!! I got it to go with a simple side salad and ate it overlooking Budd Inlet at my Airbnb, with a glass of white wine. Perfect and very reasonably priced too! read more

Good food, service, and beer selection. My kids were able to be entertained there too.

Bad food. Actually the food might be okay but the couple times we tried it it was burnt. There was no care taken in trying to provide a decent delivery experience. We won't be back read more
