    I liked this place and think that they had a good selection! I tried a couple of the IPAs and was not disappointed!!! The staff were very nice, friendly, and helpful in selecting beers, the food was good as well! We had the public house burger and they cooked it to order! We also had the tater tots which were impressive from someone coming from the Midwest! The place was fairly spacious, with indoor and outdoor seating and a pretty sizable indoor area. This place had good ambiance and overall great place to stop for a beer and food!!

    This was a nice, quiet place for a good afternoon beer. The service was good, and it's a big enough space you could spread out and keep your distance from the other patrons. The beer was really good. I had the Seapine Mosaic Pale, and the Matchless Topaz Hazy IPA. Both were excellent, but I liked the Matchless better.

    This place is super chill and quite spacious and open. Outdoor seating available. Good portions, food didn't disappoint, could barely open my mouth wide enough for the messy pulled pork sandwich. The cheese curds were my favorite and they definitely do their caesar salads right! Service was friendly and a tad sheepish.

    I got in a bit too late for the main menu. I did have the happy hour menu and what can I say but WOW. The Fish taco was bomb, nachos where great, the guacamole was on point. The beer was crisp and refreshing. The ciders are awesome. I would come here to get drunk and eat good food.

    Came here to get fish and chips and clam chowder. Excellent food and service. Really like the interior as well. Our table was clean, the service was quick and our food came out of the kitchen quickly but was also well-prepared. Definitely recommend.

    Amazing food! The fish and chips are to die for! It's just a good place for some good ol fashioned American food that is good quality. Servings are large and good for the price, so you shouldn't leave here hungry or disappointed. Good parking out back, too. Definitely recommend it to anyone in the Olympia area looking for melt in your mouth beer battered cod!

    It makes me sad that Fish Tale Brew Pub is closing its doors. When we travel to Olympic and Tacoma for ball games, it's our favorite place to eat. Thank you Jody for the great service. Our fish Taco were not as good this time, but we still enjoyed eating 😋 there. Good luck to the owner and all his employees going forward, we will miss you. Sam and Debbie

    Amazing fish and chips! Hearty Reuben. Good house made fries, the tarter is delish. Great service, and definitely worth a stop

    Great service! We ordered online and there was a minor mistake on both our behalf and theirs. We interpreted the side orders as additional instead of replacement for the fries. We got cole slaw that we did not order and no fries, but they made it right and made us the fries on the spot right before closing hours too. Very friendly and they had a good list of craft beers. Next time we are in Olympia we will definitely be back!

    This was a perfect place for a casual after-party dinner and drinks event following our wedding at a City of Olympia park. Our wedding was early in the day. We wanted to make sure our out-of-town guests had somewhere to go for dinner afterwards. I was also concerned about accessibility and needed a location that could be accessed without using stairs. I wasn't sure how many local guests would be joining us, so Fish Tale was a perfect option for us. They opened up a typically unused section of the restaurant for us on the main level that could accommodate far more people than our party. The food and drinks were great, and everyone enjoyed themselves. Thanks!

    Went here for a surprise bday party for a friend at 130pm on a Sat..l got there a little early to save tables, but they had already made space for our event. Great place for the 20+ of us, private-ish, not to loud, good parking, and the service was great. Emily really did a great job, and the other help was courteous & swift. Good beverages, good food, and great vibe for a good time. 👍

    From the moment we sat down, our experience was horrible. The service was subpar at best. They seemed to be adequately staffed yet slow and discombobulated. We order a pretzel as an appetizer. When it was delivered, the wait staff placed it on the table & walked away. We had to ask for utensils AND napkins. I ordered a chicken Caesar salad, after 2 bites, I had to send it back. Their “home made Caesar dressing” was VERY fishy and tasted almost sour! Other people in my party all commented on some type of freshness with their meal. My husband ordered the clam chowder and said it tasted like flour as opposed to creamy. I also ordered a cup of coffee (which I had to ask for twice) & as soon as I poured the cream in, I could tell the pot had been sitting for awhile, possibly all day! I do NOT recommend this establishment. Horrible food!

    Loved it. Not super busy, attentive staff and great beer. My colleagues ordered food that, while I didn't try any of it, looked delicious. Portions were big.

  • 5/5 Terrell D. 1 year ago on Google
    Great friendly staff. Great brew. Great locals. Enjoying the cider that is made by them. And it is great. I actually take a growler and fill it up so I can have more when I get home. Ah, life hacks. Lol.

    Love the vibe! Attended a networking event upstairs...great space! The Nachos were an event (the salsa is so good!) and the service was well done!

    The bartender was our server and he was great. I had the crab cake burger and it wasn't what I had hoped for. Not a whole lot of crab and there was a predominant spice, may have been old bay, that killed the experience for me. Nice brioche bun though. Friends enjoyed the fish and chips and really liked one of their burgers.

    One of my absolutely favorite places to come for lunch or dinner. Salmon Caesar salad, fish and chips, crab cake sandwich, great beer and cider on tap. Big open inviting space with lots lights. No place I’d rather be on a Friday evening.

    We love stopping in here for some great beer ( always changing) and some amazing food. This time us ladies got their delicious gin drink (can't remember the name) Kelsey was our awesome sassy server!!! Can't wait to go back again!!!
