Had a great time at Oly Taproom and would absolutely recommend it. They have a really solid selection 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. read more

Shared a plate of nachos with a friend, it was the absolute WORST. Tortilla chips drowned in canned cheese sauce, with cold canned chicken breast pieces and a few sliced olives and tomato chunks. Watery grocery store salsa and sour cream on the side. Really terrible. read more

We arrived at 9:07 pm and last call was at 9:10 pm. The server declared last call was already and refused to serve us. This was rude!​

Oly Taproom had good pizza, but I felt incredibly awkward there. The outdoor seating was preferable to indoor seating even on a rainy day in December -- little space heaters on each table made it bearable, and the shelter kept the rain out. Inside was so quiet that it felt like every patron was listening to me order. The bartender seemed chill to a fault, as if he had to remind himself to come back to earth for every response. Cool guy, no mistake, but I couldn't help but feel like a clueless outsider while I was there. The slightly cringey chalkboard message declaring that "We have no WiFi - talk to each other and pretend it's 1995" didn't help. The pizza was pretty good. We did a half-and-half of Hawaiian and BBQ Chicken. We both preferred the richer BBQ Chicken side. It wasn't a bad experience, but nothing about it leapt out and made Oly Taproom a Must-Try. read more

We came to the Olympia Taproom as a party of three on Sunday night at 7:30 PM. We admired their beer fridges while we waited for our Chicken Bacon Ranch pizza. We love the vibe-it is very casual and relaxed, and you can play an assortment of their boardgames if you feel like it, and take some excellent beers to go! Their signage is quirky and fun too. I loved their pizza-it was indulgent and a perfect way for my stomach to start the week. What a cool place! read more

Ate here on a whim with some friends while exploring downtown Olympia and I have to say their food was great! Ordered a 16 inch pepperoni pizza which was made on a thin crust; it had the perfect amount of everything and the crust had really good flavor to it. We also ordered some buffalo wings. I always mentally prepare myself for how spicy buffalo wings might be, but this was perfect in heat. It has just the right kick to it and it went well with their ranch sauce (possibly made in house). Definitely would love to return and try their other menu options along with some of their drinks! read more

Our first visit to the Oly Taproom June 21st was to celebrate their 10-year anniversary. Initially, it was a bit crowded for me and my wife. But after my first Oly Taproom 10-Year Anniversary West Coast IPA (pretty tasty) the experience mysteriously seemed to improve. We met a bunch of nice folks. And later we shared a pizza (also tasty) with our family members Dwight and Hallie. Levi, the current owner announced to the crowd that Dwight would be taking over the taproom sometime in July! All in all, it was an enjoyable day with good beer, good chow and good people in a relaxed casual atmosphere. Check it out. Tell them Jeff sent you and hopefully you won't get tossed to the curb :-) read more

Some of these reviews are crazy! Bartender was too chill? Beer selection was not great? Food would disappoint Gordon Ramsey? TF is all this Great selection of beer, if what is on tap isn't to your liking, grab something out of the cooler. All the food we've tasted is perfect for this location and the staff has always been super cool to us. This spot is cool! read more

My dad and I go here frequently after playing Pokemon Go at Percival Plinth with friends. The beer selection is usually great, and the sourdough pizza crust and hop pizza sauce are delicious. It's a unique tasting pizza very worth trying. It's dog friendly, and their covered outdoor area with heat lamps is very comfortable. We love coming here with our pups. My only complaints are that 1) they sometimes don't have a truly dark beer (stout or porter) on tap, and 2) they have zero dessert options. If they could make sure they always had a stout or porter, and offer a cookie or brownie or something like that, I would give it 5 stars for sure. read more

The pizza is to die for!! Love it so much!! The service is awesome and always keeping up on things. The environment is super laid back and fun. read more

I'm sorry, this taproom really deserves FIVE stars, but they ran out of non alcoholic beer though their source is in town. FRUSTRATING. Realize this is a place that serves alcoholic drinks but they almost always, except today, have some here. Yet, they are really awesome and have amazing people here. Food is a little spendy for what you get but it's good food. The parking around here is somewhat challenging so glad it's somewhat overcast and not crazy busy. The building and inside space is really well maintained, picnic tables outside look new, everything is ideal, except above. Really deserves five stars. Hope they'll strive to keep NA options in stock. Very sad but maybe it's meant to be. read more

Great place to have beer and food! Wish they allowed kids considering they serve food. They are missing out on a lot of business considering it's right across the street from a beautiful playground. read more

Welcoming staff and delicious pizza! Enjoyed the build-your-own with pesto sauce and mushrooms. Looking forward to popping in the next time I'm in Olympia. read more

Decent selection of beers, customer service was great, and the location is great. We took a walk along the marina afterward. We had a pepperoni pizza and some wings and both were just ok. read more

Rudest server I have EVER encountered! The gal with the tatoos poured the WRONG beer and when we asked for the ACTUAL BEER WE ORDERED SHE TRIED TO CHARGE US instead of exchanging the wrong beer. WHAT!? YOU, THE SERVER POURED A BEER WE DID NOT ORDER AND WE NEED TO PAY FOR 2 BEERS NOW? EXCUSE ME!? Not only that, the WRONG BEER was so gross we just gave it back and left. You not only poured the wrong beer, but one of that was gross. Never going back here. Do not recommend. Male server was great. Food was good! Girl with tatoos should not work in any kind of service industry. Needs training. Please hire more good servers. read more

Attend an event here and really enjoyed the laid back atmosphere of the place and the staff. The menu isn't large but everything we tried was delicious! We are still talking about the food and it's been weeks now! They obviously have lots of beer choices and such but if you don't drink alcohol there is also a cooler of nonalcoholic beverages so you won't be thirsty. Upstairs has lots of fun arcade games, while the covered area out front is great to sit and chat with friends, and the heat lamps do a good job of keeping you warm of the weather is chillier. read more

The food is awful. Gordon Ramsey would be appalled. Everything tasted old or from a bag. When I called to order food, I asked how if the chicken wings were good and she said "they are standard wings". Below standard but thanks for the disclaimer. Shoulda trusted my gut on this one read more

If I could leave a 0 I would. No tasting was allowed. The staff was rude, and did not describe the beer properly and their knowledge of the drinks they cannot let you taste was frustrating. VERY disappointed in this establishment. The environment felt hostile and like we were inconveniencing the staff by ordering things. I would never return or recommend. The service was horrendous. They brought my elderly grandparents their pizza and then told them to get their own plates, etc. inside. I feel embarrassed for the people that own this establishment. I have never written a yelp review, and was so moved by the terrible attitudes and environment that I downloaded the app. Believe all the 1 star reviews about the service. By the way make sure you know how many slices of pizza you have left over if you want a box by the way. They will ask...... read more

The pizza is great and there are tons of cool games to play while you hang out. Also, the beer selection is huge and the service is stellar.

Was super excited about the pizza and was not at all what I paid for. Overpriced and not worth it. Beer selection was not great either.

My husband and I have made this a regular date spot. We love the cider and atmosphere. We have tried the food too. 9/10 for the food & drinks. There are bathrooms & dog friendly. Dogs are only allowed in the patio area. read more

Pretty good for beer variety in Washington. Wish they had served samplers or flights when we went for Octoberfest 2023 timeframe.

Great place. Casual dining. We were in Olympia for a hiking trip and Oly was right outside our hotel. There was an art fair on the same street. We definitely picked the right place to stay. read more

Ordered a pizza from here. Tomatoes, dough were both made fresh. It was simply superb and delicious. Had a couple beers while waiting and learned these people to rank very high in the "ORDER OF NICE PEOPLE". Good job on you all. We appreciate you and your attitudes. read more

Love this place. Best taproom in Olympia with outstanding location, decent on tap selection with much more available in the cold case. Many places to sit inside and out and enjoy. Pizza is available. read more

This has become one of my go to drinking spots. 14 taps and a wiiiiiide assortment of everything you could imagine. I'm a cider drinker and they have a handful of dry ciders in their cold case. 1 cider on tap. $1 to drink anything from their case in house. They have a kitchen serving pizza, games, an upstairs and outside patio. read more

This is where Olympia Beer Lovers go. One of the few places you can see the sunset on the sound and sit outside. 14 taps and 10 rows of glass cases filled with cans.. they def have the best can selection in Olympia. The beers on tap are a variety and there's always something for everyone. Pizza, Wings, cheese sticks are also on the menu, but you can also bring in any other food (Indian, Thai, burgers are all steps away). The owners are great and it feels like family, I have been coming here for years. read more

Ya, cool vibe!! Owner seemed legit and kickback. Olympia, what's up with the tater tots???? Tater Tots as a delicacy, OK , I'm on board. You guys knocked it off the hook. Amazed by your Stout, tot's, Brussel sprouts, and a rather good burger. Cheers, good job!!! read more

This is a 21+ establishment that serves great beer, great pizza, and has a gorgeous view of the bay. We love this place.

Located on Columbia St. across from Percival Landing Park in downtown Olympia, the Oly Taproom is a cool place to meet up with friends and try some local craft beers. We stopped in to have a beer before our dinner reservation down the street at Anthony's. What I Love: 1) Great selection of beers on tap, and a huge selection of beers in the cooler. 2) Comfortable reclaimed wood tables & benches. 3) Fast & friendly service. Recommendation: Try the Tall Guy IPA from Breakside Brewery. It's awesome! read more

As much as I enjoy this place and the staff, their kitchen hours are all over the place (at least in my experience). It generally seems like if I show up within 2 hours of closing, there is a pretty good chance the kitchen is already closed. Which is a drag, because I'm usually looking for some pizza for a late dinner. So it's worth calling ahead to confirm if you're looking for food. read more

For whatever reason, I have never been here before this past week. And if it's any indication, we're headed there for third time in like 7 days right now. Awesome atmosphere, great selection of drafts and other options. I'm a sucker for sours and haven't really found a place here that has at least a few to choose from, but this place has options. And the outdoor area out front was such a good addition to this place! Definitely going to be a regular here from now until forever. read more

Terrible service. They don't do samples either which means you have to go into a beer blind. I can tell you, this is not industry standard. The guy who was bartending were apathetic and had a bad attitude from the start. If you enjoy good service and good beer, save yourself the trouble and try anywhere else. read more

This place is a great spot to have a beer and a pizza. The beer selection on tap is pretty good and the pizzas are amazingly delicious. The bartenders are happy and will joke with you and make suggestions on what to drink. I trusted their recommendations and was glad I did. I'm coming back here, it's a nice spot. read more

Now how simple is this for a business plan? Just sell beer. That's it. They have 14 on tap and who knows how many in the bottle. Some of the on tap comes from eastern WA and is not commonly available on the Worstside. Each glass is poured very well, respecting the beer and beer maker. OK. I exaggerate a little when I say all they sell is beer. One of the on taps was a hard cider. I did see they offer a red and white wine. Not to mention peanuts or chips. And a very nice beer pub ambiance, clean and nicely staffed added to my "I hate franchises" list. read more

Me and my mom came down for Mother's Day the day before because she works. First time coming in, made a lil joke to break the ice since no one smiles the manager off duty laughed while whoever it was behind the bar told me to fuck off with a complete straight face, joke or not it wasn't appropriate. Even tho this happened I kept my cool and trying to understand her vibe/comedy, I smiled to only get a mean mug back. Won't be coming back. read more
