50 Best Bars near Steilacoom

“Thank you for being so friendly and for giving us the free ice ❤️

New information - I just learned that the ice machine is cleaned quite regularly here and I'll tell you folks, this is a clean establishment. Most bars and restaurants don't attend to their ice machines regularly and this is a big deal. Mold grows on unclear surfaces, even in the icy cold! Trust this place with your drink because you won't be disappointed.

Please disregard the negative reviews of The Steilacoom Taproom because I can promise you, after reading them, they are wrong!“

“great selection and staff!“

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

“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.“

“I came in here on St. Patrick's Day to check it out for the first time. Chill spot with friendly people. The food was good and I can't wait to come back to try more. I didn't know they did trivia so that was a fun surprise. My friends and I will be back soon!“

“The food is just fantastic, thank you.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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“

“Management provided outstanding service: bar stools labeled with our names as the ADA section at the back of the venue, next to the sound desk.
First opener: brief and fun.
Second opener: loud and played far too long; could have been omitted.
Third opener: The Tacoma Fun Police were great! How have we never heard of them before?
Mad Caddies: Even with many new musicians, they played a terrific setlist and entertained as they always do! BTW I'm 72; I wore my Caddies sweatshirt that I bought at their tiny Seattle show in 2002!“

“Good food and Great Service!“

“Food garbage drinks over priced hooker vibe desperate“

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

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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!!“

“Great music, and fantastic staff.“

“excellent service and fantastic food“

“What a cool place! This is the somewhat unnatural child of a coffee shop and tiki bar. You enter through an old roadside coffee pot shaped building. But inside are fake stuffed animals on the wall, bamboo screens, and just the wildest collection of stuff.

We had beer and onion rings, and sat at the bar. The day was young, and so we were largely alone. But I can see that this place can get hopping once the sun starts disappearing. The onion rings were good, and the beer cold. Prices are reasonable; they're not out to gouge you.

Come to this place and enjoy a great repurpose of the old coffee shop. Sit at the bar with a close friend in the unique double bar stools. And look around - you'll see something strange and unique everywhere you look.“

“We came to Dirty Oscars for a change of scenery. We live in Puyallup. Food was ok. We got dbl bloody Mary’s, the traditional eggs beni and the elk hash. Hollandaise was good and the elk, sadly was not very flavorful. The thing that sucked and pretty much ruined the meal was when we go the check we were basically charged for 2 bloodys each! $28 for a dbl Bloody Mary. Doesn’t make sense when a shot of vodka is just $8! Asked manager and her response was “I don’t make up the prices. This is ridiculous!” We won’t be back.“

“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.“

“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!“

“NEW NEW NEW! New snacks, new games - fun times! They have pinball games now and it’s amazing. Of course the cider is lovely, rotating and fabulous. Heard there’s a pizza test kitchen happening, I had a slice and I’m into it. Don’t be deterred by the weird parking lot, you’ll have a good time.“

“The staff were friendly and attentive. A great atmosphere and I’ll be back“

“We were seated minutes after arriving. Everyone we spoke with was friendly and skilled. Our server knew everything about the menu and handled our dietary restrictions with aplomb. The food was outstanding. (Wish I knew how to prepare a pork chop like that!) The dining area was inviting with exposed steel, brick, and wood floors. However, I miss the days when I could be heard across the table without shouting. Overall, a great experience. We will be back.“

“Our wait person, Shawna was great!“

“many years ago would go every day after work or should I say in my young years, Many beach derby Christmas parties Halloween parties so much fun with Dan Lean. thanks for the memories!“

“Pinball! Pinball! Pinball!“

“Pro tip! You NEED to have Ashley as your server! She was AMAZING! On top of everything. Never once was our drinks empty, very attentive, always had a smile on her face and was very polite. Very rare these days. I hope you have the pleasure of having her as your server.“

“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)“
