Walk into 24 Taps and you get the message fast — this place is about the beer, the burgers, and the 75-inch TVs. The wine list is an afterthought tucked into a drinks menu that's clearly built around 24 draft handles. Five wines. That's the whole program.
Five by-the-glass pours and nothing else. Castle Rock Cab, a generic Simply Red Blend, J Lohr Chardonnay, Latah Creek Pinot Gris, and a Prosecco — that's the full universe. The one bright spot is Latah Creek, a legitimately good local Washington producer that deserves better company. Everything else reads like a grocery store endcap. There's no bottle list, no regional story, no depth whatsoever.
All five wines are available by the glass at $8.25–$9.50, which is at least honest pricing for what you're getting. There's no rotation, no seasonal swap — this list has been set and forgotten. If you need bubbles, La Bella Prosecco checks that box and nothing more.
Latah Creek Pinot Gris — $9.50
Latah Creek is a respected Spokane-area winery and their Pinot Gris is a genuinely solid pour — the only wine on this list that reflects any local pride or actual quality. Worth the ask.
Latah Creek Pinot Gris
Nobody coming to a sports bar for a burger is ordering the Pinot Gris, which is a shame — Latah Creek is the real deal in Washington wine country, and this is the one pour that's actually worth your attention.
Simply Red Blend
A wine called 'Simply Red Blend' with no producer context on a five-wine list is a hard pass. You have no idea what you're getting, and that's exactly the point — it's filler.
Latah Creek Pinot Gris + Traditional Wings
A crisp, slightly off-dry Washington Pinot Gris cuts through buffalo heat and fatty skin better than any of the reds on this list. It's the unexpected move that actually works.
❌ The Bottom Line
24 Taps doesn't pretend to be a wine destination, and honestly, respect for that clarity — but the five-pour, grocery-shelf wine list is strictly for people who forgot they don't drink beer. Order the craft draft and don't look back.

West Downtown / Riverside · Spokane · Barbecue / American Tavern
The Blackbird is a genuinely good barbecue tavern that simply doesn't care about wine, and the steep markups on uninspired bottles make that indifference expensive. Come for the smoked meats and a cold beer — if you insist on wine, grab the Milbrandt and move on.

Downtown Spokane · Spokane · Fondue / Upscale Casual
The Melting Pot Spokane isn't a wine destination, and it's not trying to be — but the Washington State anchors on this list are genuinely good, and if you stick to those, you'll drink well enough for the occasion. Come for the fondue experience, order the Ste. Michelle, and save the serious wine night for somewhere else.

Downtown Spokane · Spokane · Hotel cocktail bar and lounge with small plates
1919 won't blow any minds, but for a hotel bar in downtown Spokane it earns genuine respect for keeping Washington State producers front and center. Come for the room, stay for the Beresan — just don't expect any surprises in the pricing.

Downtown Spokane · Spokane · Hotel Rooftop/Terrace Bar
The Grand Terrace Bar is a great place to drink wine in Spokane — just not necessarily great wine. Come for the skyline, order the Riesling, and save the serious bottle hunting for elsewhere.
