Field Bar & Bottle Shop

Passing through Tacoma visiting from Portland and got lots of recs to stop by this place. A true gem! For wine lovers and those who enjoy well crafted cocktails and delicious bites. Also really appreciated a thoughtful curated NA menu. Lovely people and experience. Will definitely be coming back!

I had a great non-alcoholic cocktail at Field Bar & Bottle Shop tonight. My friend wanted to meet up there at 4:30- which felt kind of early until I realized she is a genius. Their “Aperitivo” is Wednesday-Saturday and goes from 4pm till 5pm. Their Aperitivo has a bunch of nice nibbles from Oysters to a Pickle Plate at a discount as well as discounted drinks. I got a glass of wine before 5 but then because I’m 46 and don’t drink two drinks at once very often anymore I got this “Bright Eyes” cocktail which was so nice. They had a bunch of thoughtful looking NA cocktails on the menu so if you’re looking for creative non-alcoholic options in Tacoma make sure to check them out! I love the dim lighting and friendly serviced - we had Panzanella, Beet Caesar, and delicious Sourdough with our drinks and it was so good. An excellent Saturday Night! #movetotacoma

The best dinner I’ve had in Tacoma! We were so impressed by the incredible staff, beautiful food presentation, and delicious cocktails that we completely forgot to take photos. (I promise, it was gorgeous.) We cleaned every single plate. I’ve had the pleasure of dining at so many restaurants in Tacoma, and Field Bar truly stands out with some of the best food and service in town. We started with the Pickle Plate and Seared Summer Squash (holy, that was amazing), then moved on to the Ratatouille and Seared Queen Salmon. Every dish was stunning and full of flavor. I can’t wait to come back and try the rest of the menu!

My husband and I went to Field and Bottle and were impressed by how creative and well thought out the restaurant was. It gives European cafe vibes while serving up incredible food and creative cocktails. We got a few small plates and the corn risotto with crab which I could not recommend more! The sourdough with ricotta and jam is something I would get everyday if I could. Overall we feel like Tacoma has been missing this type of restaurant. It’s great to see that they partner with local farms to bring this quality of food to the community. We are super excited to see what other creative dishes they come up with in the future.

Always get the oysters! From top to bottom, the entire staff at Field is lovely and the food is always delicious and ever changing. Check out the wine club and/or grab some pantry items to go. A true gem in Tacoma.

Small quaint restaurant. Beautiful ambiance. The atmosphere feels so intimate. A great please to go for a date night. The food and drinks were beyond anything I can ask for. We made reservations. I would recommend! Check the pictures out. 😉😉😉 Might I add… the desserts were spectacular and baked by my sweet friend McKayla! Kudos to the staff, chefs and baker. Everyone was so kind and wonderful!

Intimate atmosphere with one of the most phenomenal and thoughtful menus I've ever had! The variety that the menu has-- as well as how often it changes-- makes this always a wonderful and ever-novel spot to go to. Lots of love put into this place and we love to come here! :) (P.S.: highly highly recommend the panzanella)

Absolutely loved every bit of the experience here. The food is creative, fresh, seasonal and delicious. We had fresh oysters on the half shell topped with the most perfect chili sauce, beet salad was as delicious as it looked, and although I am not a liver fan, the chicken liver mousse was to die for! Brian, the owner, is super knowledgeable, approachable, and an overall amazing human being. The vibe is very chill and relaxing. The only thing I regret is not having come sooner!

For starters the service at Field is absolutely top notch, every single time we have visited. The entire staff is exceedingly friendly, attentive and informative if you have any questions. They also know how to pair their wines better than maybe anywhere I've ever been. The decor and design is also quite fun, especially if you're a Wes Anderson fan ;) The food is ever changing and always interesting, which we really enjoy. They just started trying out brunch service on the weekends and we thoroughly enjoyed everything we ordered!

This place is almost like a hidden gem. Right on 6th avenue, it is so cute and neighborly. When I've been it's either been happy hour time - not that busy - or dinner and super busy! Their mixologists know how to put together drinks! Hands down one of the best bars in town! The food is also exceptional. I love their ricotta and crusty bread. I have eaten a whole dish by myself because it is so good. The only thing is that their portions seem to be small(er) and higher price points. I understand that may work for their audience/target market but that will make me not go often. Although happy hour is a happy medium, I can't get away from work to really enjoy it. I do recommend that people come here. It is a great night, or with friends. Not a lot of seating so you may have to wait but worth it.

I've been here for dinner but they just opened a brunch (9 am-2 pm) and I had to try it out. Kids are welcome at Field but it's not a kid friendly restaurant really, so brunch is a perfect time for some nice food when you have to bring along a toddler. The place was pretty full when we got in about 10am, but they made a spot for us (toddler wedged in on bench where she couldn't run off!) and we ordered right away. (Note our backup if there was a long wait was gather juice which is right next door!) We got the banana bread (ordered immediately for kiddo), yogurt granola, shakshuka, side of potatoes. Blueberry shrub soda, and water. Would've ordered a side of toast but the server pointed out the shakshuka comes with toast! Toddler liked the banana bread, and we loved our food! I ate far too much - I especially liked the potatoes with the shakshuka. The banana bread is just so kid friendly. My friend liked her yogurt granola bowl! Service was super friendly and it was nice to not feel like a total liability with a kid in tow. Just the right treat for my birthday!

Oh. My. GOSH. Best brunch I've EVER had. I got the prosciutto eggs bene w the farm salad; my friend got the french omelet (also w the farm salad) & we split an order of the new bae potatoes. To die for. All of it. The table next to us got the banana bread and based off the smell alone, we'll be getting some next time! The space is SO CUTE and we had the BEST service (Maddie is wonderful!) Can't wait to go back and try more of the menu!

Food, service, & ambiance is all soo great! Every bite and sip better than the last. Whether you sit at the bar or a table you get a wonderful experience. I love that we've been able to walk in and be seated. Very few places with such amazing quality still exist. Should you book a reservation for a Friday / Saturday evening. Yes you should but outside of these times we've had luck.

This place is an absolute gem right in the center of 6th Ave, I've been visiting this place for about a year now and every time I stop in my experience is always 15/10! The atmosphere is warm and welcoming while also keeping a modern and classy aesthetic. If you're looking for an intimate, fine dining experience with a casual vibe and incredible food, Field Bar is absolutely the spot to be. My only recommendation is since the location is rather small, booking reservations before you plan on stopping in! Definitely my favorite spot to go to celebrate any event or just have a really enjoyable date night.

Oh my goodness, Field Bar and Bottle Shop is the cutest little gem in town! From the moment I walked in, I was charmed by its cozy, inviting atmosphere. The cocktail and spirit selection is absolutely fantastic, with something for every palate. But let's talk about the food--wow! The sourdough bread is perfection itself, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. And the salmon mousse? To die for! Each bite was a delightful burst of flavor. The staff here are incredibly friendly and attentive, making you feel right at home. Plus, the service is super quick, so you can spend more time enjoying your delicious drinks and nibbles. If you haven't been to Field Bar and Bottle Shop yet, you're missing out on a truly delightful experience. Highly recommend!

The bar and bottle shop is an excellent choice for dinner on 6th ave. The food quality is on par with with Seattle quality, and all the ingredients were clearly top quality. Upon walking in we were quickly greeted by staff, we had a reservation so we were quickly seated. I was there on a Thursday so we probably could have gotten seated without a reservation but the dining room is relatively small so if you're going I would recommend make a reservation ahead of time just in case. They do have bar seating available in a first come first serve basis as well. The decor is all related to out doors themes which goes well the field theme of the restaurant. Over all both my wife and myself really enjoyed our time here and will definitely come again. They have an extensive cocktail list which I didn't get to try this time but will hopefully get to review in my next visit.

I've been here now four times and each experience has been delicious and fun. Most recently I had some tasty oysters, smooth burrata and a potent cocktail that was also great. The service has been super friendly every time, the staff are interesting and engaging, the atmosphere feels like a neighborhood bistro that you want to return to often and I really appreciate their seasonal offerings. For some feedback some of the dishes are a little heavy on the sauce.

Adding another 5-star review. Outstanding and personable service, great food options, innovative "sharing" concept, inviting atmosphere, and just a cool place. We will be back.

The food and service and ambiance is a ten out of ten. The menu switches up very often. Sit at the bar and talk to the owner because he is a wealth of knowledge!!

I'll give them 3 stars overall but really it's more like 2.5 stars. For the price you pay, I just had higher expectations. I think because Tacoma has so few places like this, it's easier for places to get good reviews because there's not a lot of competition. However, when compared to other restaurants of this vein in other cities, they would not be a 5 star place by any stretch. 2 stars for service- the waitress was friendly but not very attentive and messed up a drink order. It was a very simple drink order too. Instead of making it right by making the drink again or taking it off the bill, she brought out a little glass of the missing ingredient and we had to mix it ourselves. That was a pretty big fail in my eyes.it makes that 20% mandatory tip sting when you are not actually getting that level of service. 2.5 stars for food- we had the oysters which were on special, they were good but not great. Their take on it, picked beets on top, was a bit of a miss in my opinion. The gnocchi dish was delicious but the Red curry was disappointing. That dish was just executed strangely. It came out in a soup bowl, and two additional small bowls so we could share. But no serving spoon was included so it was awkward trying to spoon the soup/curry into our individual bowls with these tiny spoons. There were also large pieces of broccoli in it with long stems. Again, very awkward to eat with our tiny spoons. It was an odd choice for vegetables. The flavor of the curry was very good though. En Rama and Wooden City do a much better job with their food and also have great ambiance and service. Cocktails 4 stars- other than the drink that was messed up (would have been a 5 if not for that) the two seasonal cocktails I had were delicious! Ambiance/Atmosphere 5 stars- the vibe was great and it felt good walking into the place. This is one thing they have done really well. I would definitely go back but only for drinks and skip the food. It's good but for the price I would expect better quality and much better execution of everything. I have more issue with that then the portion size.

I took my girlfriend here for a night out. We had a great experience; the food was very great and such a unique variety and the aesthetic was cool. Our server Yvonna (sp?) was very helpful with suggestions and seemed to really like working there, she kept our wine chilled for us and never let our glasses go empty. Also for a place that I would expect to be expensive it was reasonably priced.

Lovely time here. Great vibes and food too. Sat in window seat and had the best service

Came here on a late evening for a cocktail. Luckily there was seating at the bar facing the street since a group just left and this place was packed. Ambiance: 5/5 - dimly lit, intimate vibe. There is a lot of stuff to admire on the walls! They really put a lot of thought into their design. Drinks: 5/5 - speakeasy quality cocktails. I'm sold. Strong and delicious. Service: 5/5 - attentive staff and really friendly. Need I say more? Food - TBD since I didn't get anything to eat this time. Obviously I will be back.

We've been wanting to try this place for a while and a pre-Mother's Day date night. It's super cute inside, with lots of wines, syrups, etc arranged on shelves down the middle, separating the bar/kitchen from the tables. There aren't many tables so reservations are a good idea. I tried the Team Zissou cocktail and loved it. Sharon ordered a glass of the Réaltière Pastel Provence rosé. I hear it was quite good (wine's not really my thing). We decided to start with the sourdough - a bowl of fresh sourdough with house ricotta and a jam (rhubarb tonight). Our server was great. Very friendly and on top of her tasks. We asked about the wine club and she was super informative. She reminded us that the food comes out as it gets done, e.g. your table may get dishes at different times. The kitchen is small and this works for them. I decided on the tamarind BBQ meatballs while Sharon ordered the duck gnocchi. The gnocchi arrived first. My god. Polenta gnocchi?!? Yes. Please. Again. The duck was very, very good. Butter poached radishes. WTH? How do we make these at home? The meatballs were also fantastic. Amazing mix of flavors. We accompanied our "main" dishes with the Rose Dewitt and the Good Vibrations. We finished with the chocolate crème brûlée and the rhubarb frangipane galette. Oh no. The crème brûlée was gone... Two galettes it was. Everything was great! I highly recommend Field Bar & Bottle Shop. This may be my new favorite place in T-Town.

One of the very best restaurants in Tacoma. Quality food. Continuously evolving menu is the most innovative in Tacoma. Incredible service from very nice people. Pleasant setting.

We love it here every single time we come! The staff is always amazing, the drinks are wonderful, and the food is delicious!

Wonderful shop featuring diverse selection of natural wines, along with solid and friendly expertise to discuss them, and recommend choices to you. Also a nice selection of ciders and beer, and a very special eau pétillante from burgundy ( I had had this water myself on a recent trip to France and it's about the best mineral water I've ever had) It's a great addition to sixth Avenue. I am looking forward to trying them at dinner soon!

Seasonal menu changes and great cocktails! Dope dinners with wine makers are really cool.

Wow. Such a creative menu - food AND drink - spotlighting top notch regional ingredients. Staff is great and so knowledgeable. A dee-lish curated wine list & so many fab mocktails that Dry January seems not so dry. Becoming a regular!

I was a bit sensitive to some of the reviews. My friend raved about this place, so some Yelp experiences left me wondering if FB&BS was over-hyped. Early spoiler alert: it's not! My rating is a solid 4.5! . I am so happy for their inclusion in the T-Town food scene. Vibe: Beautifully organized and intimate space. The music was . Whoever curated the play list . We were warmly greeted as soon as we walked in. Our table wasn't quite ready so we sat at the bar for like .5 seconds, before we were escorted to our table. I don't know how else to say this, but they have a beautiful staff of people. Everyone was genuinely warm, attentive, and I loved that they seemlesly worked together. Drink: My husband had the watermelon based cocktail. I looked at it, but tequila be fighting my stomach so....but I did taste it and it was refreshingly tasty! I might ask for it next time and ask them to switch out the tequila for rum. Full disclosure--I'm a full on child when it comes to drinks. I want it like Lil' Wayne--like a lollipop. The bar staff made an off the menu drink based on my specifications. Though the drink was not exceedingly sweet, it was citrusy and refreshing--and actually more of what I was looking for without realizing it! It's not that I like super sweet drinks, but more so that I don't want the taste to be so alcohol forward. We'll upgrade me FB&BS. Teach me! Apps: ordered the salami charcuterie special, salmon mousse, and the Shisho leaves and braised chicken. All were delicious! I mean charcuterie is charcuterie. Kind of hard to mess up or elevate. But elevate they did! The soft cheese was smooth and rich and the honey mustard was robust. The salami had a surprising little kick in the finish. Definitely took it to the next level. The salmon mousse....Jesus Eugenio Cristo! Just so beautifully complex. I don't want to ruin the element of surprise, but this is masterfully composed and both accentuates each component individually and complements wholly. Different textures and tastes. Well played. Well played. Shisho or perilla, or as we call them sesame leaves have a distinct kind of licorice taste. My husband and I actually eat them often, but I remember him not liking them initially as he described it as having a perfume like taste. He loves them now though. So, we really liked this dish. It had a lot of flavors that are bold, but familiar to us. I can imagine for some that this is like a flavor punch in the mouth--being sweet, savory, and a hint of spicy. We liked it. Entree: we shared the risotto with added crab. As with their other dish, there's a lot of flavors here--umami, pickled, and rich. Overall, good, and I'd order again, but Id just like the risotto cooked about 2 minutes longer. I know there's a fine line between getting the risotto just right and mushy, so no complaint here. Dessert: I hate to say it, but in my experience, a lot of good food places are either just okay or not that great with desserts. I can't speak for all their desserts. We ordered the peach crisp. Hardly any peach flavor. And the crisp was more chewy and soft than crisp. The creme fraiche was meh for me. That seemingly ended on a down note, but it wasn't horrible, just not for me. I'd probably try the ice cream flight next time. And the rest of the experience was so good--I'm excited to go back. I'm really hoping to get the chance to try the duck gnocchi!

A few weeks ago, a friend who was shopping for a nice bottle of wine for her son's upcoming birthday asked that I take her to Field Bar & Bottle Shop. She had heard her son speak highly of this new place and figured that they would have solid recommendations to share. Walking in the door, it was immediately obvious that this nicely appointed establishment on Tacoma's constantly redeveloping 6th Avenue had been planned as a bar that sold bottles but, in the wake of COVID, had adapted itself to be a bottle shop that will one day soon also serve drinks. I was very impressed with the owner, Brian Hibbard, who gave my friend excellent advice on wine and also gave me some very knowledgeable background on bitters - a subject about which I previously knew next to nothing. Having enjoyed my first visit, I stopped in again yesterday to investigate another area of the liquor world about which I know nothing: aperitifs. Once again, the friendly and well educated Brian gave me an introductory course on the subject, sold me a bottle of Pasubio (which some friends and I *loved* yesterday evening), and refused a much deserved tip. Now that the pandemic is slowly but assuredly receding, I'm really hoping that it won't be long before this cozy little hideaway can start realizing it's full potential as both a bottle shop and bar. If Brian is as knowledgeable a bartender as he is a sommelier and liquor expert, I can easily see this place becoming a major player in Tacoma's bar/bistro/brewpub scene - and I can see myself sampling many of his tasty concoctions. Meantime, though, if you're looking for anything from a vino to enjoy with a meal to a bottle for a gift or special occasion, or if you just want to learn more about wine, beer, and spirits, step in the door and start asking questions - and be sure to sign up for one of their regular tastings, too. I promise that sharing a glass with Brian will be a pleasant and enlightening experience.

Excellent all around. Cocktails were fabulous. Food was delicious. Service amazing. And the larder and wine shop offerings a nice plus for grabbing something for later. Great vibe. So glad to have a place like this in Tacoma!

I like the concept and the ambiance. It's a intimate setting with your bar and dining seating arrangements. The drinks are very creative and so were the food menu. I believe the menu does change, but not sure how often. There is an array of wine to choose from and if you find one you like, they are available for purchase by the bottle. You can also purchase mixers to create your own cocktails at home. The service was also excellent. However, I wasn't expecting an automatic 20% gratuity to my bill. I didn't realize Tacoma started doing that. So just heads up that it's 20% gratuity automatically charged to your bill. As for the drinks, like I said very creative. I do want to say the 3 drinks I've tried all had some sort of bitter or tasted bitter. It's not bad, but I think just a tad too bitter to my liking. The food was also just okay. I got their sourdough which comes with homemade ricotta and jam. For the entrees, I ordered their Tamarind meatballs and the mushroom risotto with add on Dungeness crab. The meatballs are definitely different, not what I had expected. The risotto I think I could be cooked a bit longer for better texture and consistency. But the risotto does have good umami flavor. I would avoid paying the $8 extra to add Dungeness crab. It's wasn't worth it. It literally was 1 tiny piece of claw meat. Overall experience was positive, except for the food which wasn't really anything spectacular.

Go for the service, even if you don't eat. Great service from lovely people! And they look clean, too. Yeah, no, it's a thing. So, the food: The menu is small but good. You'll find authentic taste instead of enhanced flavoring. In other words, the squash tastes like squash while the chard tastes like chard, etc., without broth or other enhancements. I appreciate that! The wine was fragrant, but so didn't drink it, my friend did. I'm going again. It's really good.

Lovely first experience. Sat at the front windows and couldn't be happier with the delicious meal (only dish I didn't capture was the mouthwatering Panzanella.) Our server was kind down to earth, and another person brought us a sweet little candle for ambience. I love sweet small things like that. Be back soon :)

Oysters were tasty!!! So much attention seems to be put into every little thing. Enjoyed the risotto too-get the extra crab!

Small, quaint, warm and friendly restaurant. Tastiest small plates I've ever had!! Unusual and large wine selection. Sulfate and preservative free. They make their own tonic with fruit and soda water. Full bar. A little pricey but seriously tasty food.

This place is definitely a small bites and fancy drinks kind of place. Seems like reservations are needed if you want a table. They have a variety of interesting cocktails and some small bites to share. Liked sitting at the bar watching them make drinks.

Wonderful Food and atmosphere! The price of the food was very reasonable service was perfect! Perfect wine parings to choose from and again reasonable priced.

Went in looking for swick wine. They had it, told them what I kind of vibe we were looking for. Went with their suggestion. Couldn't have been a better choice. Love that they sell natural wines. Coming from Lacey every time! Do not hesitate!

The food is DELICIOUS. Crazy good. The service and ambiance are great. However, the dinner entree portions are the TINIEST things I've ever seen. I can't believe they're titled as "shareable". Buyer beware, you're getting two very very expensive BITES of delicious food for a very steep price.

So good! The vibe, drinks, food, and people are great! We had the sourdough, fermented corn, pork belly, and chocolate mousse. Each thing was delicious. We sat at the bar and got to chat with the staff who are friendly and engaging, even though they're busy.

10 stars! This is the best place in Tacoma. Inventive, delicious, and an ever changing cocktail and food menu. Brian, the owner, is the nicest guys and is super knowledgeable about his wines. There is a wine club and they do special pairing dinners. This is a gem in the rough.

Incredible small plates and cocktails. I love the creativity and commitment to natural wines. Atmosphere and service were also top notch.

We came for aperitivo, great vibe. Drinks and snack items were plentiful and high quality. Friendly and informative staff. Thanks!

Love this place. Everything about it. Fantastic signature and specialty drinks, phenomenal prep of creative food for all tastes. Both only surpassed by the incredible vibe that owner Bryan and his staff create. You. Will. Love. This. Place.

I couldn't find this wonderful location on Yelp so I had no other choice but to add their information so that I can give the owner of this Bottle Shop a giant 5 Star review. This place is totally awesome. The owner (who's name I totally forgot to get) made us a hot cider concoction. He showed us a few wine bottles that he though we might like. I was in Tacoma for a birthday celebration and visiting this location really made it awesome. I look forward to going back. Thanks for the drinks and the bottle of wine.

Amazing and very unique food and drink options. The wine club is phenomenal, as well! A really great place to have a drink or get a full meal!

This place is awesome. This is definitely a cocktail connoisseurs place. Really elevated drinks served by talented, and knowledgeable people. Among us we tried 6 different cocktails and they were all great. You just can't go wrong. We tried two different kinds of appetizers: the cauliflower and the sourdough bread. Both were amazing. The staff were super friendly. The place has a great vibe. They have a great wine selection and other interesting things to buy. It's quite the find.

This place is a gem. Every aspect is impeccable. The cocktails are delicious, the wine is interesting and impressive, the food is hands down some of the best made and most beautifully plated, and the playlists are perfectly curated. Highly recommend for anyone, whether you want to sit alone at the bar and chat with the friendly staff, have a romantic night with a love, or bring a group of friends or family for a joyous occasion. So glad this place has opened. x many thanks, field bar.

Everything was delicious. Hated it. 5 stars. Terribly wonderful service worst cocktails. I wouldn't go more than twice a week. Brian is as sexy as the food.

Field Bar is just awesome. The space is beautifully appointed and the service is fantastic. While limited, the menu is packed with tasty snacks and a few mains (the lamb meatballs are insane). More than anything, though, the owner (Brian) is affable and kind. He makes my wife and feel special every time we visit. Love this place!

Meh. The drinks were good but the food was pretty horrible. We only ordered one thing to share so maybe it was just a bad one to be fair. Made me glad we didn't spend any more $$ on food since they're on the pricier end for what it is. We got the shiso chicken wrap. I'm very familiar with shiso since I grew up eating them regularly so I was excited when I saw it on the menu. The leaves are supposed to be picked younger so they're softer. Theirs was tough because it had past its season. The chicken was watery and the cucumber kimchi was not right. They used the wrong kind of cucumber and the flavor was way off. So the unfortunate finished product was basically watery chicken with off-putting kimchi wrapped in some tough leaves. We got three of them sitting in a puddle of lukewarm chicken juice for $16... the space is very cute and people were nice. I might go back just for the drinks but it will take me a bit to get over the experience I had with their food lol.

Brian is super knowledgeable and gives great recommendations. The wine world can be a bit intimidating and Brian makes it fully approachable. The space is beautiful (I can't wait for it to officially open as a bar post Covid). It's chalk full of delicious quality wines and beers and other goodies. Go.

Incredible selection, knowledgeable staff, cozy vibes and the only place in Tacoma to find natural wine. Tons of reasonably priced options and rare finds. Brian the owner was so sweet and helpful, and we can't wait to see the bar portion open! Absolutely will be returning.

Amazing everything!! Food, cocktails, and especially the wine were all amazing!! Didn't catch our bartenders name but Brian our sommelier was awesome!! Gave us great recommendations and was just all around super cool to us. Can't wait to come back with family or friends?

What a find. Tacoma deserves an upmarket, cozy and friendly snug that one might find in Manhattan or Brooklyn. Comfy and worldly aesthetics complemented by smart use of design and space that's as personal as the staff. Smart beverage recommendations complement a small but amazing menu (that I think changes depending on sourcing terrific local food partners) --- nothing quite like this in Tacoma so we are thrilled to have "found" this spot (following on IG for a while now)....make reservations or chill at the bar if you are lucky to grab a seat. Oh, and the playlist? It's a vibe. Run don't walk to experience The Field.
