THIS IS THE MOST REAL REVIEW YOU WILL SEE ABOUT THIS RESTAURANT. every yelp review about this place is so fake. After a long day of hiking and driving from Port Angeles to Forks, we did the Hoh trails and were extremely hungry after. We looked on Yelp and this was one of the highest rated places, so we thought it would be good. I genuinely do not understand the ratings. The food was terrible. The nachos were basically just a bag of stale chips served on a plate. There was maybe sour cream on ONE chip. The cheese was literally cold and frozen onto the chips. I'm not even exaggerating. The sandwiches were also extremely bland and nothing about the food matched what the reviews made this place seem like. Even looking through the reviews beforehand, so many of the Elite reviews read like the same forced AI review saying how amazing everything is. After actually eating here, I seriously question how this place has such a high rating. Easily one of the worst meals we had on the entire trip. I don't even wanna put a pic of the nachos that's how bad it was. the sandwiches were actually pretty decent that's about it. read more

Wow what a gem in Forks! Nicely curated beer selection- I love that once they finish a keg they swap it out randomly with what they have - meaning each time you come in, the beer menu will be different! A lot of local Washington pours, great boron from Portland, and other great picks. I enjoyed the cider I ordered and would definitely stop here again! read more

I'm so glad I came here. It was a great experience because we met Amy the owner, who is so nice. The beer selection is amazing and we had a great bratwurst sandwich for 7.25. Can't beat that. Definitely come here if you love beer and company. People are very friendly here. read more

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. read more

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! read more

What a terrific surprise in Forks! We were driving through and very hungry. There were not many options. First place we went to had a long wait. We did a Yelp search and saw the Westend Taproom and so glad we went there. It is not very noticeable from the main road, but not far from it with plenty of parking. We had our dog with us, so we ate outside on the patio which was not just nice (with games), but had heaters. They have a really outstanding beer selection--where you can see how much is left in a keg and then get a free beer if your order finishes it. I had a couple and they were both good. For food, I had the two cheese panini while my wife had beef and cheddar. These came with chips. Both were really tasty, we were both really pleased. Absolutely, definitely worth a visit! read more

Friendly atmosphere, great service, good beers & ciders. Visiting the community, we sat at the community table and struck up a conversation with a local(ish) couple - really fun and helpful! The place itself is not much to look at - but that's not really the point of a bar anyway. The point is to have good beers, good conversation, and good food. And on those three points, this bar hits way above average in a location where you wouldn't expect it. read more

QUICK READ I have heard horror stories about the food in Fork, and while Michelin may not be visiting here any time soon, they have easy paninis that are hot and tasty, good pretzels, good braut, and a good pint. Other food looked good too. Staff was very friendly as well, and they had 3 TVs to watch the game. Don't expect a lot but if u need food in fork u don't have to worry about getting ill or anything from here. If im ever in Fork I will be back! read more

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

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. read more

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!! read more

The paninis were very good for $12. You also get chips and a pickle. The IPA was great. Nice and hoppy!! Highly recommended by this Michigan traveler. read more

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. read more

Cute little bar with a nice patio! Great beer selection and I enjoyed a flight! Super clean bathroom and friendly staff.

Everything is either under or overcooked. It doesn't seem like they've every opened a restaurant before. I know a lot of kinks need to be worked out to open a place, but calling it "kinda fancy" dining just shows your ignorance. Knowing culinary terms is something you learn along the way. read more

My partner and I just spent 4 days in Olympic National Park where the nature is gorgeous but food options are rather limited but we found one of the best local places. We liked the decor, the ambiance and the beer and cider and local wine options are really good. The food was also great. The services were warm and personal and it gave you a very homey feeling. After dinner, we left for Sol Duc hot spring resort for the night where there was absolutely no cell services and the next morning proceeded to our trip to Seattle where I found out my purse was missing. It has my driver's license AND passport, along with a few hundreds of cash. I panicked. The next morning, Amy, the Taproom owner called and left a message saying she had my purse. Apparently, she tried really hard to find my contact number even calling my banks to let them know that my accounts might have been at risk. I called her back and Amy was so nice and all she was concerned about was what I would need (IDs to get on the airplane the same evening) and the best way to get my purse back to me. She kindly offered to bring my purse to Port Angeles so we would not have to drive the extra hr to Fork from Seattle . She stayed in touch with me the entire time until we met her with my purse and everything intact in there. I feel so grateful and very fortunate to have had the oversight from someone as kind and compassionate as Amy. read more

Great beers and service. Tried the paninis and brats which were excellent! Clean, fun, outdoor seating.

Forks has few watering holes so we were happy to find Westend, stopping in twice during our stay. Decent tap selection, ok wine options, friendly service, although both times the servers were somewhat distracted with chatting to locals. Took a while to get our drinks. read more

Great owners!! Love what they've done with the place. Has an awesome selection of drinks. Some great beers, delicious rotating ciders, adaptogen drinks and other juices, sodas etc if you don't want a drink- basically something great for everyone! Laid back atmosphere- a great place to chill out after a hike or a long day. A little off the main path but super nice owners and great drinks and snacks!!! Love that they have different fun classes in the space too! read more

Great atmosphere with staff-picked beers! They have a small but diverse selection of gluten-free beers in bottles/cans!

We had a salami & provolone panini and turkey & havarti panini, they were delicious! The wild berry cider was also a hit. The owner was very kind and friendly, with quick service. Would eat here again! read more

The beer was not great - neither if the IPA personally tasted great. Their sandwiches were very bland. We were delivered the wrong sandwich and had to wait for another one to be made. Served with a bag of Tim's Cascade chips. All in all, unimpressive and wouldn't go back. Liked the atmosphere though and the bathroom was clean. read more

Cute and clean little bar in Forks with great service and a variety of delicious panini's.

What a super fun local owned and local supported spot in forks. If you're passing through or doing an overnight I highly recommend coming in here for a panini and a beer. The taps seem to rotate and they have a mix of everything so if you like ciders they've got those if you like dark or light or pale they have all those. They make homemade paninis with homemade cheese. They have them in like salami or turkey or beef and they come with a delicious dill pickle and a little side of chips. More than enough for dinner alongside of beer after a long day at the national Park. read more

Westend Taproom Tip & Sip - Great selection - Beer Bar Near Me - Forks, Washington

We stopped in for a beer after a long day of hiking. I love this little bar. They have a surprising amount of local beers on tap. The place feels like it was remodeled recently and super clean. Service was fast and the place had a m relaxing, while being a little bit funky vibe. I love whatever system they use for those kegs because that beer is served cold! Definitely a great stop if you're in the area! read more

Visiting from SoCal, and wanted to check out this local spot while staying in Forks. An older gentleman (I think owner) and woman were the only ones working, and they were super kind and welcoming! Interior has a comfy/home-y vibe. They also seem to rotate their selections of beers and ciders, but it's all local selections on tap. Beer and cider were tasty, nachos were simple but good (has beer cheese). Will try the panini's the next time we visit. Would recommend anyone staying in Forks to check out Westend Taproom for drinks and bites! read more

Westend is a neat, cozy taproom that has a solid selection of West Coast crew and a tight menu of paninis and snacks (nachos and charcuterie). The service is great and quick. We got a variety of paninis (~$9), all of which were tasty and warming and make you wish you ordered two. Paninis come with chips (Lays original) and a pickle. Nice feeling ambiance inside and there are two TVs to catch any sports as well. There's a small parking lot in the back, but maybe worth parking out front for ease of getting out. Would recommend for a quick bite in Forks! read more

What a little gem of a spot in Forks! The service was outstanding and they have drink selections for every taste. We enjoyed some local beers and didn't eat, but the food coming out to other tables looked delicious. We sat outside, sipped our beers, and enjoyed the beautiful afternoon in this awesome taproom. read more

So glad that I happened to find this gem, the women who worked there were super nice and helpful when it came to the selection of beers. They were also nice enough to let us eat our pizza from next door in there. Cute place and everyone was so nice! The beers switch often but the creamsicle one was great! read more

This is a great addition to the limited food scene in Forks. An excellent selection of craft beers, both local and national, complemented by some unique hard cider choices and a very tasty menu of pannini sandwiches and yummy soft pretzels too. The interior is bright and welcoming with natural wood walls and lots of TV screens for watching sports. What we really liked was the covered outdoor seating, compete with electric heaters and roomy picnic tables. They have lots of games too. This place is a winner for me. read more

Nice people and good beer! A wide variety of beers and they have ciders and wine for those people who don't like beer.

We stopped in Forks on our way back from Kalaloch and even on a Monday night, this place was hopping! It draws a crowd of locals and tourists alike and the owners are exceptionally friendly and welcoming, regardless of where you are from. They appeared to have a decent selection of beers and ciders. I am prego so had to settle for a Diet Coke, but my husband enjoyed his beer. We also got the roast beef cheddar paninis and they came out super quick, with horse radish, a bag of Tim's, and a pickle. They were basic but tasty. There were lots of games available to play, as well as a few TVs. Overall, very cozy and a perfect place to stop for sandwiches or a beer, or even to get warm while it's pouring rain outside read more

I enjoyed my visit quite a lot. I had a minor misunderstanding regarding the menu and the staff went overboard in making things more than right for me. They gave me a second free order of the item I ordered. I realized the misunderstanding was all on me and asked to pay for the second order but they politely refused my request and said everything was good. If you are looking for a place to get a quick bite with a nice selection of draft beers, you definitely need to pay them a visit. read more

21 hours ago NEW This place is by far the cleanest and most updated, newest and finest atmosphere I have found yet in Forks. The owners are charming and the place is just So well put together, clean and enjoyable. Get your butts in here now! read more

Owner and bar tender super kind and friendly. They wipe down each table after people leave - something I don't see happen often in bars. Food is simple but good. The beer cheese is the best I've had. Would 100% come back. read more

I cannot say enough about this little gem and the welcoming proprietor in the small town of Forks. This is a simple, humbly yet perfectly appointed place for great brew and wine offerings; catching a game; overhearing small town gossip; and delicious pretzels with homemade beer cheese sauce. I spied some yummy sandwiches as well. This would be my go to if I lived here...and you must drop in if passing through town. Note the hours as they are not open every day. read more

What a wonderful hidden gem, hidden in the heart of Forks WA. Walking in feels like home, they greet you with a friendly hello. After taking our order, we found a cute little type living room with couches and a large TV making us feel even more at home. Our food came very quickly even with a half-packed house. I got the roast beef cheddar panini that comes with a pickle spear and chips, my friend ordered the nachos with all the fixings. We got a cider flight that was so delicious. After we ate, we noticed games just another homey feel. Would recommend anyone staying in Forks to check out Westend Taproom for drinks and bites! Feels like home. read more

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

We truly needed Wi-Fi for a fantasy football draft, but found a great atmosphere, food and beverage offering! Everything we had was excellent and the service was great! read more

Two friends and I wanted a cozy place to grab a beer (or 3) during our stay in Forks, WA. We were lured in by some lovely string lights outside and welcomed into the warmth of Westend Taproom by the owners - John and his sweet wife. We instantly felt at home there and talked for hours by the little fireplace. Wide selection of yummy beers and ciders with reasonable prices. If you're in Forks, don't miss out on this place! read more
