Beer Star

"Beer Star is a glorious place in White Center that has lots of niche beers inside of a big fridge that you can pick out yourself, plus over three dozen varieties on tap. There’s plenty of room to claim a table for your afternoon drinking HQ, and you can also bring outside food - get a burger to-go from Li’l Woody’s next door, or bring in some kimchi fried rice from Anju around the corner." - aimee rizzo

"White Center’s all-ages beer hall (with a Tacoma outpost) has 40 taps a-flowing, featuring everything from beer to kombucha to cold-brew coffee. Beer fanatics can bring their kids and dogs and stretch out on the large patio, which seats dozens. On the food menu, there are burgers from Lil Woody’s and pizza from Southside Pizza Pie." - Harry Cheadle, Jade Yamazaki Stewart, Eater Staff

"Thanks to the presence of two restaurants inside this expansive beer hall, patrons won’t go hungry while sampling the 40 beers on tap (with the focus on brewers from Oregon and Washington). Beer Star also boasts one of the most impressive coolers stocked with single beer cans and other drinks. Grab a seat at the bar or mix and mingle with the families (with kids and dogs in tow) in the large dining area. The White Center location of Li’l Woody’s, one of the restaurants inside, is always good for a big, messy burger, but don’t sleep on the roast beef sandwich with peppercorn horseradish aioli. Zeek’s Pizza will soon be offering up pizzas for those looking to soak up the suds with big, meaty, pies like the Puget Pounder, loaded with pepperoni, Canadian bacon and Italian sausage." - Jenise Silva

"White Center's massive beer hall (with a Tacoma outpost) boasts a great selection of rare beers and ciders, whether one is filling a growler, buying bottles, or staying for a pint or two. There are also taps for wine, kombucha, and cold-press coffee, welcoming patrons regardless of beverage proclivities. Hungry patrons can order food from Li’l Woody’s and Southside Pizza, too." - Megan Hill
