When I moved to Puyallup two years ago, I had this place bookmarked cause I loved the fair themed drinks and interior. We never got the chance to go but then I saw that they won Best Cocktails in South Sound Magazine. We got to stop by during the weekend of Washington State Summer Con and they had a flight themed after the convention so I asked my boyfriend if we could go and he was down! As we entered, we loved the decor of place as well as the overall vibes. It felt like going into your own private spot of the fair. The bathroom was also cute with ticket themed outlines, a funny mirror, and being very clean.

We seated ourselves and not too long after, a kind waitress came by with a drink menu so I had to ask about the food menu. She let us know that she is revamping their happy hour as we came in on a Sunday which is an all day happy hour. I believe she said it was $5 on cocktails. We decided to stick with the flight as we just ate and my boyfriend had to drive home. My boyfriend really enjoyed the Daryl and Carol the most while I really enjoyed the Cobra Kaitini. I'm sad that the Smashed Brothers was the most meh of the four as that was the one I was looking forward to the most. However, the rest of the flights were lovely and the little stickers we got with our flight was such a nice touch. We even got a whole Bowser sticker sheet! I got the basic grilled cheese combo as I was still feeling peck-ish but was surprised by how much food it was. The tomato soup dip was so good. It reminded me of the tomato soup that came with the ham and cheese sandwich at my elementary school which was what I have been craving. I asked for the dip to go but the waitress just gave me a small to go container for instead so not sure if they charge for that. She also never did come back to check on us so we had to go up to ask for a take out box too.

A great experience and I would love to stop by for trivia and other themed flights that are relevant to my interest!

Tasty cocktail selection. No boredom at this bar.

Didn't try the food. The staff was really nice and very quick. The atmosphere was done as well as it could be in a small bar environment. Nice to see a couple things that reminded you of being at the fair. It's a nice change vs some of the other bars on the strip that might try too hard to be trendy or seem like the millennial bar owner vibe with the sharables. Ha. I'll come back. I have a feeling that this place also takes care of their staff.

Great food and drinks! It was our first time in Puyallup, and we were just checking out the area looking for a drink. This place was a great little hole in the wall. Fantastic cocktail. And really tasty appetizers! I will definitely come back the next time I'm in the area!!

10 out of 10 recommend adding the Coaster to your list of things to do in Puyallup. From the fair themed atmosphere to the delicious food and amazing drinks! These ladies know how to make a fun drink that tastes as good as it looks! We walk in the door, greeted by name while Rachel whips up a special cocktail for us. If you haven’t already- you MUST stop by and check it out. You won’t be disappointed ❤️

Absolutely love this place! Everything about it is fair themed, from the locals posting their own fair photos to the roller coaster car that is literally by the front window! The bathrooms are adorable with the circus barrels to the fair tickets around the mirror! We have had several events here and visited several other times! The drinks are fantastic and the service is great! These women definitely know what they are doing in this industry! A must visit place to come!

Wow! Totally impressed with the creativity in the cocktail menu. I love the seasonal pairings in the drink flight, and they are very friendly and attentive.

ProTip: they can find you a creative cocktail based on your tastes, trust the staff to take care of you.

This place is such a gem! We have never known of this spot and we are in Olympia. I was sold by the photos and fun photo opps. I loved the service from everyone working there too. You MUST try the blue hawaiian type drink that comes with a duck! They had endless fun drinks! You are even able to grab some popcorn, just like the carnival! We will be back soon!

Came in after a day of shopping and wanted some drinks. I really liked the vibe and Rachel was great! I was even given some cake and cookies due to another event going on in the bar. Rachel and the other worker seemed to know the patrons well and I like that camaraderie at a bar. It made it seem like they enjoyed being there and serving others great drinks and food. Will be back with some friends next time ?

Went with a friend for a drink after work tonight for the first time. Amazing experience! Extensive drink menu but nothing too crazy. Asked Rachel for a surprise after explaining what I like and was genuinely one of the best drinks I’ve ever had! Thank you so much for a great night!

Most fun bar I've seen in my life. They create their own drinks that are extremely fun! All puyallup fair themed qith ping pong balls, rubber ducks, scones and so much more. A must see by everyone. Also it's the only bar around you can order a fishbowl drink for a group of friends to share!

I went during a busy Saturday when Cruse Puyallup was taking place (very cool event btw). The Coaster has been on my list of places to go. All of the drinks on the list sounded yummy. I described what I liked and the Bartender Lady made me a S'mores Martini. De-frickin-licious, I tell you, delicious.
Per another reviewers recommendation, I tried the Smoked Pulled Pork Totchos. They were good too but needed a little more bbq sauce in my opinion, but still good. Great place to come hang out with friends. I love the purple pool table and I hope to come back to play pool soon.
