The Living tapRoom — Restaurant in Tacoma

Nice atmosphere and location. Very comfy... This was my first time to a self-service draft room like this... I know they're popular, but I always preferred having a bartender pour my beer... Self-serve is a good concept, but really buggy... When you enter, you provide your payment card. For me, I was paying for three of us... so my one payment card was attached to three people drinking. This is important to remember because the place keeps track of how much you drink so they don't overserve... so three people drinking are considered ONE since one account is being tracked... The system stops the pour of the beer you select when you've reached your limit. Three people drinking means we reached the ONE person limit pretty fast... Sounds like a first world problem, but I was drinking root beer... The system wouldn't let me get any since it thought I was downing multiple beers as well... I had to have the attendant reset the account three times... It's best if you attach a different payment card to each person. Then, when you're ready to leave, pay all three accounts with one card (if you're buying for friends)... I sure hope they find...

What a lovely place and cool atmosphere! The idea of being able to pour your own drinks is quite nice and that you can either just taste, get a flight or just a pint of beer adds a lot of diversity and curiosity to the equation.

I did not see any food menus but looks like they have small snacks for purchase. They have 34 diverse taps of drinks/ beer that pour by the ounce and it tracks through a little wrist band you wear. Absolutely lovely idea and very welcoming location. They did have little card games like Uno, fact or fiction, etc. hanging around on the table. They had some very nice outdoor seating which was perfect for the lovely weather yesterday but i did opt for the swings!

Very nice social place for drinks -...

Several tables for two, long live-edge family style high top, and a living room area near the front door gave plenty of seating options. Roomy though not a large space, the one unfortunate was the noise level - hard surfaces cause conversation volume to be high to be heard by people seated next to you.

On a Saturday night the place was packed. Nice to see a pop-up opportunity for a local artist. Brought in a pizza from Salamones - didn't think ahead about napkins and such, oops.

Beer, cider, other local...
