About this restaurant

  • Great for happy hour
  • Good for groups
  • Charming
Welcome to the Steam Plant Restaurant and Brew Pub! This historical building actually functioned as a steam plant between 1916 and 1986, when the last boiler was shut down in December of that year.

Then years later, the old plant was transformed from a dirty, drab industrial behemoth into a cathedral-bright architectural showcase becoming a functional commercial space while maintaining as much history and equipment as possible within the rigid guidelines of historic renovation. Fortunately, the iconic twin stacks continue to lend a uniqueness to the Spokane skyline.

Since reopening in November 2021, the Steam Plant has partnered with Grain Shed Brewing whose beers are made with regionally sourced ingredients. The bar and dinner menus have been updated to showcase local favorites. Prices range from $11 - 16 for shareable appetizers, soups & salads, handhelds, and pizza; entries range from $18 - 38; and desserts range from $9 - 19 for the Steam Plant Shareable that feeds 4-6 people.

    Great food and great service. Neat atmosphere. We did have a great guitar duo playing so it was a bit hard to hear but that’s my only negative. Kinda

    I didn't know what to expect when I booked my reservation. It far exceeded any expectations I could have dreamt of. From the service, the cuisine, the beverages and overall vibe to the atmosphere and historic surroundings, it was a total experience. I highly recommend this restaurant for any occasion! I will be sure to visit regularly now that I have discovered this gem!

    I went with my two teenage kids and had a great time! The food was good, as was the service. It's a unique venue with a fascinating history. It's kind of dark, a bit cavernous, and noise does travel, so I wouldn't consider it for a quiet or romantic experience, but they have multiple spaces to accommodate groups. Be sure to take time to explore the various levels and architectural details.

    Great food and ambience. There was live music which made it extra special. I love the historical aspect of the place. My kids had a blast.

    Sat us at a plastic folding table. Pizza was super greasy and not much different than a frozen pizza from the supermarket.

    This was the second time at The Steam Plant for dinner, and like the first time, it was a pleasant experience. Food was good, service was friendly, and the venue was great.
