Taps at the Guard House is such a gem in Port Townsend. The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, the food is delicious, and the drinks are spot on. Add in fun live music and it’s the perfect place to relax, catch up with friends, and enjoy a great night out. We left happy and looking forward to coming back!

We had a lovely time here last weekend. Lots of great cocktails to choose from and a small menu. We enjoyed the smoked salmon crostini, and the cesar salad with and generous portion of well-seasoned chicken. We’ll be back for sure.

The service was nice and the beers were good but the food did NOT look like the photos shown here at all. All the food was very cheaply put together despite the high prices. I was disappointed in my $20 salad.

Our first visit to this warm and charming pub! The staff was welcoming and friendly with a smile. Both food and drink were excellent. Music was just the right volume for catching up with friends. Well done and see you our next pass through town!

We had there special of the day, a charcuterie board with many local ingredients. Three of us had enough to fill us up with just the board.
We sat outside and watched the deer wander through the lot and across to the field nearby.
Service was attentive and water was kept filled.
Bathrooms were clean and inside the neat historic building.
Parking was right there in the lot free.
The taphouse is located inside Fort Warden state park so I thought that we needed a discover pass to park at the Taphouse. (I was wrong and was corrected below! By the Owner!) You DO NOT need a discovery pass to visit the Taphouse.
There’s an automated discover pass purchase station diagonally right across from the Taphouse should you desire to support our lovely Washington State Parks.

Someone recommended this place to me on Reddit.

The service was some of the worst I’d ever experienced. The bartender made us uncomfortable and he acted almost robotic. Very conceited atmosphere. I’m not sure if that’s a Port Townsend thing, but there seems to be a pattern.

I would avoid this spot at all costs. Wicker Man vibes

My personal favorite in all Port Townsend. The menu is short but everything is great. The pork bao is delicious, pork hamburgers are amazing and the salad was fresh and well prepared. I had the nut pie which was good but I also spotted the other desserts and looked well served. The place was an actual guardhouse so you can actually sit on a cell. Good bar and overall layout is well thought. You can also get food and drinks in a sofa setup. Extremely good and kibd staff

I came in for lunch and found a nice, simple menu. I had no idea I was in for a treat! This is locally grown farm to table so you get what is in season. The crab cakes were delicious and the fresh made potato chips were served with a leek dip that even my toddler would eat. The sliders hit just the spot and filled with flavor.

I went in to have dinner. I had heard good things about the restaurant, and since I was staying in the park for a month, I hoped it was good so I could visit a few times while here.

I had a service dog and was told that I had to sit outside. I told the manager(?) that she was a service dog. He stated that they “make their own rules”. It was too warm for my dog to be comfortable and safe lying on cement for an unknown time. So I left. I returned later with a card to show the ADA. It has both the consumers’ and the owners’ rights. He refused it and cut me off when I tried to speak. When I told him not to cut me off and pointed out that he had done so previously, he pointed to the door and said, “Thank you, have a nice day.” He did that 3 times.

I have sent a note to through the website in hopes of having a educational meeting with the owner or GM. I always try to use these opportunities as chances to educate the public. I’m hoping that they wish to listen.

Loved it! We had the caprese salad and a bowl of clam chowder. The beer was ice cold and refreshing. The food was good and the ambiance was fun. The prices are a little high, but that is to be expected for a place like this. Overall, we loved it.
One suggestion would be to expand the menu a little bit.
