“West 122 is an absolute gem! The steak and lamb were beyond incredible—perfectly cooked, tender, and truly melted in our mouths. It was such a pleasure meeting Executive Chef Keno and bartender David. Both were exceptionally engaging, offering thoughtful guidance on our food and drink selections. I enjoyed a perfectly paired wine, while my husband savored a fine whiskey—both recommendations were spot on! The entire experience was warm, welcoming, and unforgettable. West 122 has certainly set the bar high, and it’s definitely a place we will revisit!“

“A beautiful cider bar with 1000 year old wood from the Hoh rainforest as well as 300 different plant species. The manager was really nice and we talked about how he took care of his plants and the story behind the place. Will definitely be back for the unique space and great ciders“

Fresh ingredients with fluffy yet crispy crust. The customer service was also great, they truly care about making sure each customer enjoys their meal.“

“BANGING💥 SANDWICHES! If I'm in the area I usually swing by for lunch and get the Ruben Sandwich. The place has been and for a while, I recommend getting a cold one while enjoying your meal. The place feels very rustic and full of history. The staff are some pretty amazing people. Sometimes it can get pretty packed but, I just wait it out personally.“

“Great atmosphere, delicious food, nice vibe and great craft cocktails.“

“the service an food {says the cook}“

“After an already long evening we stumbled into this place - as it was right in front of our hotel.

What a great experience. Shill and relaxed atmosphere. Jessi was also nice and attentive and showed us how to use the tap. Tried a good variety of beers there. Nice concept and a nice ending to our evening.“

“I’m recommending it based solely on service and quality of food. I have not been to this establishment. But I love tacos and plan to soon. I look forward to you serving me.“

“Serves mainly pizza only other thing on the menu are paninis and salads. Growing up Italian I would have liked to see more panini options. Pies were small a bit greasy but overall pretty damn good. I didn’t get drunk there but if I was the pizza would have been the perfect remedy. The lady with the short hair served me I didn’t get her name but she was professional, friendly, fast, attentive and a great overall bartender and server. Drinks wee reasonably priced and specialty mixed drinks displayed on the wall with prices. Gentleman in the kitchen was also fast with orders cooked to perfection. Overall I would recommend coming here for a good buzz and a quick bite.“

“Good times Good times good times good times“

“The bartender was very attentive and knowledgeable. I didn’t catch her name but she was working 6/28 6-7pm ish. The wines were all very good for the price point I tasted three whites and one of their cocktails. Everything was delicious. I do wish they offered spirit tastings that weren’t full shots.“

“I'm Surprised this place Hasn't been flooded with Karaoke SIngers yet! Outstanding, very Attentive staff, Friendly atmosphere, and Security to keep things Civil. Looking for a New venue to Kickback with friends, This is it! Tacoma, y'all better Come get on this Train! Karaoke Wednesday 8pm, Friday & Saturday Nights Starts at 9pm! Challenge!“

“Good vibes, friendly bartender. Stopped in for a couple beers on a Thursday night and this was exactly what we were looking for.

I do wish they has a better tap list than the handwritten labels on the wall that are difficult to read. Minor inconvenience though.“

“Absolutely love this place and all the food, tv game options and the pool table is always available. Friendly customers and always a conversation to be had. Staff is great minus one lady who always looks like she's ready to tell you your puppy died and is quite short and unfriendly“

“Great rum bar with an HP Lovecraft tiki theme. I honestly don't even want to share this place with anyone as it feels special enough that I want to keep it all to myself. The drinks are stiff and wonderful. Enjoy the grog and shed a tear for Lord Admiral Nelson in what may be the best bathroom in Tacoma.“

All the bartenders (Kate, Shelley, Maat, Carrie, and Haelee) are all great! If you're looking for a dive bar to go to this is the one!“

“This bar is very spacious, crowd is diverse and friendly on a slow Sunday night, bartender was perfectly attentive, and drinks were fairly priced. It's full of things to do, but we went to play soft tip darts. They have a nice big row and a half of soft tip dart boards (online electronic) and a couple steel tip) We were visiting from out of state, but if we ever come back or move to WA, we will come back to play darts here again. Had a great time, thank you.

*Smoking is allowed in the bar, cigar lounge, and outdoors.“

“I was introduced to this bar by a few friends about less than a year ago and I always have a good time whenever I visit! The bartenders are super nice, sweet, chill, and they definitely know how to make some good drinks to make you feel good!! Any time I have visited they always greet and welcome me with beautiful smiles and they always take great care of me! As busy as the bartenders can be on a weekend, I appreciate them making the effort to make small chats with me or with anyone they can to make them feel welcomed and seen. Respect them and they will respect you, simple!

The cook, big shout out to him!! A few times I was cutting it close to order food in near closing and he still went out of his way to make it! For anyone that orders food last minute and still decides to make it, you better tip the cook!!

To the security staff, thank you for all you do!! I know on the weekends it gets hectic and I appreciate you guys having the patience to keep things fun and under control as possible!

Much love to all of you!!“

“Great hotel bar with friendly staff. There’s a few good local beers on draft and plenty of bar games like pool, shuffleboard and board games too. Didn’t try the food so can’t comment on that but definitely a decent place to hang out if staying here night before a flight from Seattle.“

“I love the atmosphere and fun decor. I recently went to the drag queen brunch and it was fabulous!“
