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.

Very historical building and property salvaged by building new structure within the old structure. Maintained the history and display. Very unique. Food was 5 star. Ambiance was 5 star for creativity and unique atmosphere. Service, while not bad, the servers never seemed to be aware of the empty dishes on the table when serving next course. Just kept stacking up. I’ll be back for the food.

Service and ambiance were great. If you’re not going to have salt and pepper on the table your food had better be seasoned well. I got the ribeye steak and there was absolutely no seasoning on the meat. I’ve honestly had better steaks at Texas Roadhouse for $20 less. The dessert was good and my wife enjoyed her Cajun pasta.

The salmon was dry…and lemon chiffon cake was dry.
But other than that. Loved the meal.

Food was delicious, the space was very interesting and the service was pretty good. It was a little chilly in the space but other than that it was a great experience!

The baked artichoke dip appetizer was amazing! My ribeye was not great, I actually needed to salt it and my friend's was way overcooked....
