There are only a handful of premier landmark restaurants in our region that help shape and define Spokane, and The Onion Taphouse and Grill is one of them. A member of GSI for over four decades, The Onion was first introduced to downtown Spokane in 1976.
The Onion Taphouse and Grill brings fresh, natural, local products to its guests. With the explosion of local craft breweries, the restaurant expanded its taps featuring fresh local craft products. Thus, Area 51 Taphouse at The Onion was born. The Onion’s Area 51 differentiates itself by supplying customers with the finest on-tap beverages daily by using a distinctive and massive 45 rotating tap handle “Fresh Sheet.” The Onion chefs also work to seek out fresh, natural, local, and sustainable products.
