Pine Box

"Nothing will make you feel more alive than drinking while sitting on a pew inside a renovated mortuary. The Pine Box has the shell of a funeral home, but the atmosphere of a cool beer bar with tons of taps. It’s great for a casual weeknight drink with mediocre nachos, or a pitstop during a bar-hopping spree. Either way, even if it doesn’t exactly pair with your triple IPA, get the giant chocolate chunk cookie." - aimee rizzo

"Fans come for the large, dedicated game-watching space and stay for the large, solid beer list and superb food at this renovated funeral home, the site of Bruce Lee’s funeral in 1973." - Eater Staff

"The Pine Box is in an old mortuary. Don’t let that depress you - focus instead on trying to live it up while you’re here. That’s not too hard to do, given that their impressive selection of beers is pretty reasonably priced. The peanut butter brownie stout might not be your thing, but you’re going to need the “big-ass chocolate chip cookie.”" - aimee rizzo

"When you’re ready to swap all of the tequila and limes for some excellent beer, head across the street to The Pine Box, a bar that used to be a mortuary. This is really not the time to request inclusion in your date’s will - instead, just live it up over a few drinks. And if you’re still hungry for dessert, their Big Ass Chocolate Chunk Cookie can only make the night better." - aimee rizzo

"Located in an old mortuary (get it?), Capitol Hill’s Pine Box focuses on West Coast brews with a tap list of around 30. There are also darn good cocktails, and the food holds its own too, with deep discounts on snacks like pretzels with beer queso and pulled pork sliders at the daily “Holy Hour.” Proof of vaccination is now required for entry." - Megan Hill
