Three of us showed up in the afternoon on Seahawks playoff day 1/17/26. We sat at a table close to the large windows that can open up from floor to almost the ceiling. Cold air was blowing on us from the leaky window seals; it’s January so brrrrr. We put on our coats and the colder it got outside, the colder we got inside the restaurant. We learned later that the effort to plug the leaky window seals with pool noodles was a fail. Nice try, but really? Call a pro and fix it - it’s January and freezing outside.
We started with the Dip Flight and it was delicious, with three different dips to enjoy with Parmesan crusted crostini and tortilla chips.
Two of us ordered the fish tacos and both said the shells were so tough that they were barely able to chew them. The fish filling was delicious, but neither would order the fish tacos again due to the shells.
The third order was a patty melt with Swiss cheese served on sourdough and accompanied by fries. The bread was white, not sourdough and for dietary reasons, the person would not have ordered this meal knowing it was served on white bread. The cheese was cheddar or some other orange cheese - it was definitely not Swiss. The fries were excellent.
The prices are good compared to other restaurants.
They were out of Bud Light in bottles. On game day.
We came to this bar to support a local business but not sure about coming back. Maybe it was just a freakishly off day, but it’s a lot to overcome.

Great little neighborhood bar. Football on the TVs, cold beer and a small dog friendly patio.

My favorite bar in Tacoma. I was looking for a place to watch a huskies game last season and no bars were showing it since the game was on the Peacock app. The manager let me cast my phone to the TV and other huskies fans started rolling in to watch not long after. Love this place.

Waited for 40 minutes for hamburger & fish & chips. Only 3 other groups in the place. The burger had so much pepper on it could hardly eat it. The fries were warm and limp. Used to love this place. Now just disappointed

Plenty of TVs to watch the game and music playing in the background not too loud you can hear your conversations. Food was made with care and tasted delicious. Will return.
Great local bar with good food and good service.
The bartender and service was amazing and our group loved the atmosphere!
Three letters describes it all! OMG!!! Out whale watching and wanted a bite to eat. Stopped by and grabbed the Capris bites and the Pearl Street Chicken Sandwhich! It was so delicious, and the people there behind bar were so nice! Definitely hitting the food spot again!
