50 Best Bars near Steilacoom

“Outstanding experience over the 4th. Great selection of beer and great service.“

“Been here around 5 times now. Their food is generously portioned and absolutely delicious every single time. Not once has been a miss. Probably some of the best fish and chips around, too. Last time I was here I got the fried chicken sandwich and it was fantastic. The service is also great, polite, and fast. I don't think it's ever taken more than 15 minutes to get my food. Their prices are, imo, better than a lot of places. Especially since their portions are enough it's easy to take half of it home. Love it.“

“great selection and staff!“

“Stopped by after a long adventure paddle boarding - so glad we did! We got the hand cut fries that were so crispy and seasoned to perfection, as well as the katsu quesadilla. The portions are tremendous! I don’t know what’s in that secret sauce but I highly suspect it’s crack. The staff was helpful in making suggestions, letting us try some beer to see what we liked, and so fun to talk to. Can’t wait to go back!“

“The food is just fantastic, thank you.“

“Great place! Good beer and music. Cool place. Highly recommend.“

“Best date night spot. Love the nachos. Wife likes the THD pomegranate tequila drink. Definitely a cozy and warming atmosphere. Will def be here again. Thank you Thirsty Hound!“

“Cool little dive bar. I have been twice, once for trivia and another time it was karaoke. I didn't sing but a lot of people did and that was pretty fun. Trivia was a lot of fun too even though I came in last.🤷‍♀ Everyone was really nice, food was good, I don't drink so can't judge drinks but it was a cool spot, if go again.“

“Always have a great time here. Absolutely love what they’ve done with the place. New owners and staff are making this place a favorite of mine.“

“This is a wonderful place to explore diverse wines from the US and other countries. The atmosphere is homey and relaxed, yet upscale. The staff are welcoming, accommodating and extremely knowledgeable. You can enjoy a delicious flight, or order a glass of one of your favorites. Food items are also available. They also have a vast array of wines for purchase. You're sure to find a special one to take home. Stop by; you won't regret it.“

“Excellent show and area is great especially for parking. Wished more choices for food but overall enjoyed the show. The Reggae scene and artiste was a breath of fresh air.
Please continue to shocase more. And I appreciate it being local in surrounding area as its drivable instead of Seattle etc.“

“Party of 4 for my nephews birthday party. Zach was our server who had amazing presence and really knew what he was up to! Bravo to Zach. The new menu did not disappoint. 10 out of 10 - 100% recommend. We'll be back. Beignets for dessert - cherry on top of a lovely evening.“

“Good food and Great Service!“

“We were looking for a spot that would let our pup inside, on our way home to Canada from Herron Island. This place is a hole in the wall dive bar with lots of regulars and the best pizza and calzone I've ever had. Service was amazing and she brought our Bruno a pup-cutterie. Don't hesitate to come here for fantastic food and pet friendly service 🐕‍🦺 ❤“

“Love love LOVE this place on 6th Ave. Chill vibe with good tunes, good drinks, and good people. The owner, Sam, was behind the bar just showing why Tacoma is such an amazing place to live. Had several drinks that were bartender's choice, and each was amazing. If you are looking for a fun spot for date night or just want to hang out with friends, Side Pony is the place to go“

“Stopped into Magoo's after a few days exploring Tacoma after many years, looking for something that felt like home coming from Chicago, and this place nailed it.

Tuesday night $2.50 tacos, $3 PBRs, and a true, unfiltered Tacoma vibe.

Jack behind the bar was outstanding. Professional, dialed-in, and handled everything like a high-end vet while keeping it completely approachable. One solid genuine bartender.

Five stars. Great spot, great energy, great people.“

“Amazing customer service and food. Will be back to try the rest. Fost visit and was Amazing“

“We were looking for a spot to eat outdoors with our pups and a couple of friends and happened on this gem. Delicious sandwiches, ginger beer and craft cocktails! We'll be back!“

“What can I say it’s a neighborhood bar“

“Great Sunday brunch! Breakfast cocktails and food were great today!“

“Just went there for the first time and we were super impressed with how fast our food came out! I ordered the breakfast burrito and it was hands down the best breakfast burrito I have ever had, normally places have way too much eggs in them but not here! Perfect! Great coffee too. Our waitress was super kind and cool as well!

We will definitely be coming back.

Edit: I forgot to mention, bring cash to pay and your meal will be cheaper!“

“Asado Steakhouse delivers an unforgettable dining experience that feels straight from culinary heaven. The steak is a masterpiece—perfectly cooked, bursting with flavor, and seasoned to perfection. The Caesar salad was a classic done right, with fresh, crisp greens and a rich, tangy dressing that elevated every bite. The honey-butter glazed carrots were a delightful balance of sweetness and warmth, and the Corona beans with sun dried tomatoes offered a new flavor to round out the meal. Even the sourdough bread, roasted on the grill, was a revelation—crusty, smoky, and utterly sublime. Every dish showcased for this January special met with meticulous care and mastery, making it clear the chef and kitchen team are nothing short of extraordinary. This isn’t just a meal—it’s an experience you’ll savor long after the last bite. Highly recommend!“

“We had a date night here and were absolutely impressed. The Beecher’s grilled cheese and butternut squash soup was a stand out. Both of our pasta entrees were phenomenal as well. The star of the show, though, was our dessert, which was a deconstructed PB&J. I don’t think I’ve ever had something that had such a wide variety of complementary textures. It was amazing and flavorful.“

“The food was amazing! I love the subtle hints on different flavors in the dishes. The service could be better. It seems that 20% is automatically added into the bill which I am totally ok with, but for those reasons it seems the server doesn't do anything but take our orders. We hardly saw our server.“

“Food garbage drinks over priced hooker vibe desperate“

“Ordered the Tower Platter and it was excellent - everything was fried so perfectly and was delicious. Was enjoyed by all in our group even the baby. Can't go wrong with ordering food from the restaurant.“

“I didn't have any of the cider, so my review doesn't include that (including my 'price per person').
It's a fun place, and is kid friendly. It's somewhat 'group seating', as there are a number of long tables with chairs. It's not the easiest place to find (go through the Inn's parking lot)

There are lots of pinball and video games, and they take quarters, so you won't leave with a bunch of tokens in your pocket.
The pizza isn't bad, but I wouldn't go there just for it. We stayed for some of the trivia, which was fun and got everyone there talking to each other, as you swap answer sheets to do the scoring.
Had a good time.“

“Thank you JP 😊 I use to come here and feel unwelcomed. Your customer service and welcoming attitude contributes to a different vibe I have not experienced before. It’s a comfortable neighborhood bar that I will continue to visit and tell my friends!!“

“I had a first date here and been going here ever since I love this place the atmosphere is always incredible the bartender's are marvelous A cut above the rest with all their smiles The vibes are steady positive at this place and it's been around since way back definitely my favorite place to jive 😁“

“We arrived with a group of 10 people, and our server greeted us very quickly and immediately moved tables to accommodate us. The great service continued through the delicious meal (served promptly), and the drinks were excellent. The live music was entertaining as well. We highly recommend The Spar!“

“Went to Dirty Oscar’s with a friend. I had fish & chips. Great batter not too thick. Also experienced the different tartar sauce- best ever. I liked that it was unique. If you have not tried the bar-restaurant, try it out.“

“Great GF options and the BEST blended Margaritas in town ✨❤️🇲🇽✨“

“my husband and I will go there about few times a year. this was my father in laws favorite place to eat every Wednesday with his brother for many yrs. Yesterday(July 21st) we ate there at approximately 7pm. very nice waiter we had. my husband ordered a Chicken Fried Steak breakfast. he indicated that that meat was very tough and rubbery. I tasted it and totally agreed with him. but that won't stop us from going there again. we did show up on July 16th(Sunday). had no idea you closed up so early(it was about 6pm)“

“Amazing different kinds of lemonades and great food“

“This was my first time going to the loose wheel. The atmosphere is perfect with the pool tables in the background. The food was excellent and in large portions. And the service by Ashley B was outstanding! Will recommend all my friends and will definitely be back.“

“Great food and amazing friendly service!! we came for breakfast and we'll be back for lunch!“

“I'm not a big fan of bars etc, but finally broke down and checked out Latitude 84. Excellent place to shoot pool or throw darts. Wings and fries are top notch. Didn't even need to salt the fries! Good prices, great food and service. Great mix of people tonight as well. Young and old alike, shooting pool and having a good time. Music wasn't overly loud so conversations weren't done at top of lungs.“

“Went to WildFin last night for the first time to celebrate a friend’s birthday. It was arguably the BEST service we’ve experienced at a restaurant! It was very busy, peak hours, with a Christmas boat parade on the water going on and our server, Kendra, was incredible! She was kind, personable, attentive, efficient, and knowledgeable on the menu. And that was just the cherry on top. The food was delicious, great portions, and left us feeling satisfied. Such a great experience! We’ll definitely be back.“

“This had the nicest Juneteenth celebration I have ever been a part of. Not fights not arguments, just pure fun, good vibes and laughter all night. The men to woman ratio helped allot . The staff is the nicest you would ever want to meet. The owner was down to earth. This is a must visit spot in Tacoma if I ever been to one“

“I had an engagement session near this Anthem so we went in! I challenged the baristas with making a heart on top of a latte to be used for a photo! They kindly did it free of charge with repurposed grounds! I absolutely loved the outcome! Great atmosphere!“

“Katie Downs is such a beautiful restaurant for any gathering. It is in the best location, right on the Ruston Waterfront, and the staff here are the absolute nicest. They go above and beyond to make sure you have everything you need for a great meal, no matter the occasion.“

“I'd give it a five star review but they do not carry shredded beef. Only ground beef, steak or shredded chicken.“

“food was good they offer the fights for free although my tab tells another story but over a great fight night experience“
