    Smoked wings, nachos, brisket loaded fries, chips and queso with 2 ciders
    Iris C.

    Really good happy hour, good draft selection. Love sitting out back any time of year. Heaters are nice. Food is good. Love the wings.

    Nachos

    Our family tried the Can Bar for dinner tonight and loved it. The patio is great and loved the selection of can beers. Our food was great and the nachos were the star of the evening. I can't believe I haven't tried this place before. Will be back again for sure!

    Ever have one of those nights where you're not sure where you want to go? You want something tasty but not a gut bomb? solid atmosphere but not "scene-ey"? Well Can Bar is the place. Great service, drinks and food. I had a fresh hop collab from bale breaker and cloudburst. Oh dear it was mouth watering good.

    Second time here and I ordered the same thing I ordered the first time! Always undecided on a sandwich, the smoked wings, or the Tall Man Turkey Salad... Can Bar has the absolute best Ranch dressing in town and although I'm not always a fan of fresh cut fries, theirs are both crispy and the right amount of squishy. Ate half of everything and reheated the leftovers in the oven the following day. Still tasty. Cocktail was good and not crazy downtown priced. Both times I found parking right in front!

    I've wanted to check out the Can Bar for a while as I've seen some photos of the food on the FB and sparked my interest although I'm not too keen of beer in cans. Since then, I've been here a few times and what stands out in my mind immediately is the slanted back bench seating in the booths that are way more comfortable than the squared off seating. Even the bar stools look comfy. There's always a hip vibe going on and music to match. I can see where someone with some friends can just chill and spend a few hours here drinking beer and partaking of the menu. I'm a chili fanatic and had to have a bowl of chili and wasn't disappointed and remember it was using some brisket as the meat base. The sandwiches are pretty hefty and I tended to destroy the bun holding on where the weight of toppings overwhelmed the bun. I like the the character of this place and it's somewhere in White Center where you can chill out, drink a few beers and let the day go by.

    bosk goth beach party on draft
    Joy P.

    i can't remember the last time i was so pleasantly surprised by a place i'd driven by multiple times and meant to go try but had yet to actually stop. can bar, you are my new favorite spot! the decor, inside and out (on the enclosed rear patio) is so fun and colorful and the drinks and food were also fabulous! i fixated on the bosk draft option named goth beach party and i paired that with fish and chips. the woman who took our order originally told me the fish and chips are true cod but apparently there have been issues procuring that so she returned to let me know that mahi mahi was being substituted. the cole slaw was a spectacularly tasty non-mayonnaise version and there were plenty of fries, offered with both tartar sauce and a spicy cocktail sauce. it was a hefty plate of food! the other food going by and destined for other tables looked equally amazing. nachos and salads and sandwiches piled high. there was a lot to peruse on the menu and plenty to choose from! i'm so excited to find a friend who hasn't been to can bar and introduce them to it. super fun atmosphere and the woman who waited on us was very welcoming so all around, a great first visit and impression! i will no longer be just driving by; i'll be parking and stopping in!

    We rolled in on our Vespa's from Tacoma and had a taste of the chili and wings. Delish. Good ambiance and friendly barkeep.

    Do you have A/C?

    Unfortunately not! Just an outdoor patio with some shade.

    Can I bring my kid?

    Only if they are 21+

    Dogs okay on the patio?

    Yes well behaved dogs are welcome on the patio! Dogs must be on leash at all times, excessive barking, and aggression will not be tolerated.

    So what's the theme of this bar?

    The bar has a nautical theme. We bought a 1960, 26’ Owen’s boat and cut it up to make the actual bar and bartop. There are several pieces of the boat placed throughout the interior. A “can” is a nautical term for a buoy, and we have 60+ different… Read more

There was not too many people and we got served right away by the bartender. They have some cool unique cocktails. I got the first one, which is a custom gin cocktail for about $15. I usually cringe at cocktails over $12 but this really was worth the $15 price tag. It was so balanced and nicely flavored and had a good strength. The place has bar seating and booth seating, and televisions all over showing football, wrestling, and more. They have a mini wrestling ring at the front, which is fun. I bet this place is so fun when they have special events. In the back they also have pinball, of course! And board games. The wall is covered in art and wrestling memorabilia which adds to the ambiance. We sat at the bar for a bit and the other guests were nice too - chatted with us, chatted with the bartenders. I think some people are regulars, which is cool. I really liked this lowkey unique bar and wouldn't mind making a trip out here again soon.

I was seated quickly and got a great table overlooking the kitchen. I enjoyed watching that action and felt like I was part of a cooking show =) I ordered a dirty martini which was made perfectly and the blue cheese olives were divine. For food we did their family feast which consisted of: Tomo Caesar- we really enjoyed it, not overly drenched, lots of favlor and crunch Albacore Tataki - nearly melts in your mouth, fresh and the ponzu was so good Dan Dan Beets - I'm not a huge beet fan but it was good and the citrus added really makes the dish Cacio e Pepe Rice Cakes - literally one of the best things I've ever had, amazing, warm, gooey, flavorful and comforting...a 10 for me Dry-Aged Steam Burgers - a mini bite of heaven, people who don't appreciate these are not real burger eaters...they are absolutely delicious, soft and cheesey... I could've ate 6 of these alone Klingemann Farms Pork Chop - grilled perfectly, and the sauce that is laid over it is like drink in a cup delicious, I wish I had white rice to soak it up because we did not want to waste it Cara cara orange + coconut pandan Kakigori - shaved ice dessert, very refreshing and light even though it's like a foot high when it comes out, we devoured it All that came as part of the feast but we also added the Dungeness Crab Rice - this was like a wet risotto and it was incredible, the flavor is packed, the brown butter dashi is like liquid gold and the only thing to make it better would be to triple the size because you don't want to stop eating it!!! The restaurant itself is pretty small but that sort of makes it even better, everyone is socializing and enjoying the food, the staff is great and attentive but not overbearing and the chefs are doing beautiful work.

The standout dish was the Dungeness crab rice, which was easily the best bite of the meal. It was rich and well balanced, and the one dish I would strongly recommend ordering. Most of the other dishes were underwhelming. The cacio e pepe rice cakes in particular sounded promising but didn't deliver much flavor and ended up being disappointing. It's also quite far to get to, and given the overall experience, it's hard to say the trip was worth it beyond the crab rice. Overall: worth trying the crab rice, but the rest of the menu didn't stand out.

Knowing how viral spots can get, we arrived early at 4:50 since they were listed to open at 5. By 5:30, no one had shown up. We checked their Instagram and found comments from other people who had the same experience from other days: showing up at opening time only to find the doors still closed. The owner had replied to one of those comments saying, "Life does unfortunately get in the way of being able to open right at 5 pm..." So apparently this happens somewhat regularly. Right as we were about to give up, someone finally pulled up and unlocked the place. We rolled down our window and he told us we needed to park somewhere else. That's fine. We waited a few minutes to let him get settled before walking in. There was no "thanks for waiting" or any acknowledgment at all. When we asked if they were serving food, he told us the sandwich guy "should be here around 6:30 or so," and suggested we grab a burger next door if we were really hungry. Honestly, that was such a letdown. We'd waited all day to eat, driven 50 minutes from Tacoma in the pouring rain, and were so eager to try their food, not the burger spot next door. We debated leaving but decided to make the best of it. We grabbed burgers next door, came back, and ordered cocktails. The drinks were fine, and the space itself is genuinely awesome, great vibe, super fun décor, and a lot of character. I mean they even play scary movies on a projector. Like, it's awesome. But the experience left us feeling more like an inconvenience than valued customers. I really wanted to love this place, but unfortunately, the lack of communication and hospitality overshadowed everything else.
