Onion Taphouse & Grill, Downtown
and Northgate restaurants in Spokane

Where Burgers Built a Local Tradition

Great food has been part of this local story since 1978, with Spokane’s introduction to a gourmet burger concept built around fresh ingredients and scratch cooking. Today, Downtown Onion Taphouse & Grill carries that tradition forward alongside Northgate Onion Taphouse & Grill, serving American favorites with local ingredients and plenty of choice. Burgers remain central to The Onion Spokane, joined by menu favorites like the Original French Onion Soup and Cougar Gold Cheese Dip. Voted a reader favorite in Spokane Coeur d'Alene Living polls for its burgers, family-friendly atmosphere, beer selection, and more, The Onion has earned its place among the most beloved restaurants in Spokane. Come see for yourself why this local tradition has kept people coming back for decades.

THE ONION MENU, ENDLESS WAYS TO ENJOY IT

Good Choices Keep the Table Interesting

There's plenty of room to switch things up here. Hand-pattied burgers share the spotlight with sandwiches, salads, pasta, fish and chips, pizza, steaks, and desserts, plus vegetarian options for the whole table. For anyone comparing restaurants in Downtown Spokane or exploring options in North Division, that kind of variety makes it easy to come back and try something new every time.

Happy Hour, Onion Style

Spokane Knows When the Good Times Start

A good break in the week calls for a good pour and something worth sharing. Happy Hour runs Monday through Friday from 3 PM to 6 PM and all day Sunday, with half-price beer, wine, and cocktails. There’s also a current Happy Hour food menu, so be sure to ask your server what’s available. Get together, raise a glass, and enjoy the break.
