    The food here is slept on. Ricky, you're the man. Got the cowboy burger. southwest style, corn on it, good sauce that isn't overbearing like some burgers can have. The burger had a lot urge pink in it, the sampler platter had great chicken wings. I'm not a chicken wing guy normally, but damn everything was executed perfectly in cook. A lot of bars can't time getting food let alone get a fantastic medium burger with a very slight pink in the middle, it's better than bar food, but it's still got a basic simplicity that isn't greasy. A lot if bars have greasy food. Not this one. It's consistently good. I've been many times. The trick here.. if you're afraid of rowdy or loud crowds, simply come early and leave. There's many dart boards, a single crowded pool table space and skee ball with a decent juke box. The prices are too good for what you're getting. The burgers are better than places like Red Robin. I would suggest staying away from the flat bread pizzas unless you like ghost bread specifically. The fettuccini is good, the salads are thoughtful and large. Yes, this is the same bar that gets rowdy, but the drinks are stiff enough and the crowd is mostly older 30s to 40s and up until it gets later in the evening. Places like this are why I have this profile. Hidden gems. Don't be scared.

    Service was amazing, after my fair share of alcohol. Decided it was time for food.....I have doordashed .y fair share of food, but this was literally the best burger I've had in Tacoma so far. 5 guys, red robin, and Wendy's be damned..... definitely recommend

    I use to think this place was sketch for years but one day I really wanted a Bleu cheese burger and onion rings so I finally went in. I just assumed I was just going to sit at the bar and eat but a lot more ended up happening. I was greeted right away which was nice (probably noticed I'm not a regular) In short. I ended up meeting plenty of regulars who were all really friendly and was introduced many folks by one of the regulars I met that day including the owner and his wife! Someone I met even bought me a welcome shot! Even when I went use the rest room I met people on the way there and even in the bathroom lol. It was a diverse crowd of all colors and bright personalities. If you had a bad experience I don't really get how you did unless you want the place and everyone tailored to your preference (which is silly) At the end of it all I felt extremely welcomed and the vibe was safe all the way through. And good Lord THE BEST ONION RINGS I'VE EVER HAD IN MY LIFE and the burger was cooked perfectly medium (at least my medium) and the prices are greatly fair consider how everything has risen in price. I'm for sure coming back to try everything else and hopefully see the new friends I was introduced to. Don't think about it. Just COME THROUGH.

    Really surprised about the service, food and the vibe of this place. It does look grungy, but that's what makes it a great place! Everyone was super nice, customers, bartender, server, etc. Very clean and tidy inside! Got the cowboy burger and the only thing I didn't like was cut lettuce, which just fell out when eating.

    Service was good, had a great night. One of the bar tenders seemed to be in a “mood” and it was spreading to people around her. It’s unfortunate that one person can dull the light of the wonderful people around her. Food was on point. The chef was tentative And polite. The atmosphere was very laid back. It was easy to relax, have fun, and feel safe. Something that is becoming more and more rare at bars. Also have music, pool, and darts. The darts seem to be the “center of attention”. Over all would highly recommend. Will be returning in the future.

    The food here is amazing the chef really knows what he is doing and is very friendly. The bartenders are very hit and miss some days they’re in a good mood and other days not so much I’ve started coming here with coworkers and loved it but just don’t know if I’d continue to go due to the attitude of the bartenders

    This place is just great. New remodel with some cool furnishing, awesome place to play darts, catch the game, and great staff. We drive about 30 minutes to play darts here.

    Throughout the years that I've visited this place. Overall the place is okay. Bartenders are usually friendly. Over a majority of the menu from the food section are unavailable, usually all I am ever able to get is Chicken strips and fries. The head from every Tap Beer is often poured off which takes alot from the beer flavoring itself; imo ruins the beer. The first impression as I walk into place, there's coasters just left on the floor however the place is generally clean. The three stars is due to lack of beer head and food availability that is advertised. I personally like this place and will come back.

    unique little neighborhood pub with good food and cold beer primarily darts pool table is covered in Seahawk colors. Price is very reasonable. not an upscale pub more of a neighborhood one but it's casual comfortable and uniquely decored. Nice after work stop for beer recommend daylight hours.

    I did not eat but the alcohol beverage I had was normal and I enjoyed the sun while consuming it and played a couple games of pool with another man, it was fun and the games were close.

    Rhonda is an absolute badass! I've never had such fast service in a bar. We walked in and instantly she hooked us up with drinks. At some point there was a disagreement happening between two guests across the bar, and Rhonda immediately had it handled. She's a legend! The food was fantastic too!!

  • 1/5 Ivory Jean A. 2 years ago on Google
    Very very weird and bad vibe unless you are a regular I gather. Bar is full of mostly men , and some of which seem like bigots and right wingers as one chanted “ let’s go Brandon “ when I came in. As a black person DO NOT GO THERE. would give negative stars if I could.

  • 5/5 Ryker S. 1 year ago on Google
    This bar is AMAZING! Great vibes here. Great people, great bartenders, great service, great food, great drinks. The location is great. Not a far walk at all for me. Seahawks game days up here are amazing. Has everything you want. TVs, darts, pool, ski ball, jukebox. My favorite bar in all of Tacoma. This place is literally the best.

    Amazing staff and the people are friendly. A good place to come and chill.

  • 4/5 Richard M. 2 years ago on Google
    Neighborhood kinda place. First time here, got a smile and a ' How ya doin? ' That makes the impression to me that it's a friendly place to go. Sometimes you find a nice place when you least expect it.

  • 1/5 Ryan C. 2 years ago on Google
    Bought the two cheapest drinks I could get. Got a tab for over $19. What a joke. Worst experience I've had at a bar in a while. Bad service at prices that rival Vegas. I'd rather drink literally anywhere else.
