Field Bar & Bottle Shop — Restaurant in Tacoma

If you love communism, you'll love this place. There is a giant notice on their menu that says they steal the tips from their servers to make a living wage for the rest of their employees. In other words, "we're communists and we want you to know." The food was ok. They bring in their bread from an outside bakery, and this is the staple of their menu. Which is interesting, the bread is clearly in the forefront of the menu, and since they have already told us they're communists, it makes you wonder if they're simply trying to get you ready for bread lines. Outside of the bread, the trout was so salty I couldn't eat more than half of it.

Overall, my wife and I were so turned off by the upfront communism that we will not be back. But hats off to the balloon bakery (the place they bring the bread in from) for their outstanding bread. It's so good I would almost stand in...

This place is the best! Amazing, unique cocktails. Curated wine selection. Fun, creative, and original plates. The waitstaff was helpful, knowledgeable, and kind. The atmosphere was cozy and quaint. I could easily spend hours here sipping cocktails, having some nosh, and relaxing.

We had the salmon tartine; it melted in our mouth (shout out to the pastry chef for the rhubarb toast). And the tomato, ricotta, cucumber salad was a fresh and unique twist on a caprese. Not to mention the roasted peach for dessert: simply divine. It’s clear this place knows how to do farm-to-table in a thoughtful and fresh way. Hats off to the owner and hospitality extraordinaire, Brian, who made us feel welcome and relaxed at this gem of a spot. We’ll definitely be back.

Seattle Times! Get here already! A stellar review is...

So happy to see this place come to full fruition after functioning as a bottle shop for the past year! I found out about Brian's Cool Wine Hang (wine club) through a friend and have been receiving it monthly throughout COVID. Each bottle is mindfully sourced, naturally produced, unique, and delicious. The wine club even comes with a monthly Spotify playlist! Highly recommend for yourself or as a gift. Drinking the wines throughout COVID made me so excited for Field Bar to finally open. When I went, I was blown away by the relaxed ambiance, rustic decor, friendly staff, good music, and delicious locally sourced food. Best of all, there is no pretentiousness - only warm and friendly...
