“We came here for a late lunch after doing an escape room. The food was really good! Two of us are vegan, one is vegetarian, and the other two are omni. Most of us ate vegan/vegetarian and really enjoyed our meals! The server was fantastic and our meals were really affordable (most of us spent $25 total). It is a dive bar, so the noise level was expected (it's hard to hear and you have to shout). It was also really dark in there. But nothing that would keep us from coming back! I highly recommend the vegan nachos! They were amazing.“
“Absolutely love this place!! The food is amazing, it felt like a lot a love is put into the meal. The bartender does an amazing job on drinks. The staff is amazing. I love the chimichurri steak bowl, it's so tasty! It's my first time there and I'm excited to try more food on their menu. So glad they play great music too.“
“My wife and I enjoyed a delightful evening at El Gaucho Tacoma as we celebrated our 39th anniversary. Shelly provided impeccable service and the food was marvelous! We particularly liked the special recognition on the personalized menu and card on the table. Thank you for making our visit a wonderful experience.“
“Parking can be a little tricky, but we parked around the corner at the Safeway. Only about 90 seconds away.Food was all very well prepared and tasty. Slightly under seasoned, but a little salt worked great. Food quality also seemed really good. Everything was prepared well.Servers were on top of things, even with it being busy. Didn't need to ask for much.Drinks did not skimp on alcohol which was nice. Though I didn't enjoy my rum and coke. Probably the only thing that we didn't like.Would recommend this place if you're looking for a solid, local breakfast or brunch spot. I'll be going back here.“
“Omg! So delicious! Asados is one of my favorite restaurants! Took my daughter for her birthday and she loved it.Ps. Lois is absolutely our favorite server. 10 out of 10 personality, kindness, and service!Kid-friendliness: My daughter felt special for her birthday dinner! Given a special drink and dessert! ?“
“Came into Bar Rosa with my husband tonight! FULL house! Our food and cocktails were incredible as always! Our servers were amazing! Very friendlyAnd accommodating. However there was this rude lady sitting with her family across from us complaining about the conversation of another table and how loud they were being. But honestly I didn't think they were being loud or obnoxious at all! This lady was being a total Karen. Scolded our servers as if they could control what the table talked about. They offered to move their table. Mind you the place is full and they refused. The lady tried to ask me if I thought they were being loud and I told her not at all. She gave me a rude glare for the rest of their time there. You could tell her husband was embarrassed by her shenanigans. The staff handled it very well!Best pizza and service in Tacoma! We will be back !“
“I just experienced the Pub Crawl event over the St Patrick's Day weekend! It was an amazing time! This bar is already an amazing place to come, unwind, have some good fun, drink, drink and drink more and it's always a place to meet people and have great conversations!And the fact that they participate in events like Pub Crawl show that they are on the cutting edge and care about us... Me and y'all... Their customers! I highly recommend this bar for great food, drinks, social interaction and great people to conversate with!!!! Check it out ASAP!!! YOU WON'T REGRET IT!!!Parking: Plenty of parking real estate around this pub!Wheelchair accessibility: They have wheelchair access.“
“Hands down the best wings and pizza I have had in a very long time (if not ever)! The atmosphere is awesome and Tami is around helping and just being an amazing owner and person. The prices are also really good for the amazing food, wish i knew about this place sooner! I will always recommend this place before any other bar or restaurant! Every bartender has been amazing as well, they are so personable.“
“Since I’ve been to this dive bar several times over the last few months, it has easily been one of my favorite bars in Tacoma. The atmosphere has been cozy and usually allows conversations to flow with the person next to you without having to shout at each other to hear. I’ve never been disappointed with the food and drinks either, the new menu face-lift has more options than before, with the fried cheese curds, the Korean pork belly tacos, and the hot honey lemon pepper wings being my personal favorites. The staff and the owners are talented and genuine people, with Drew and Cody working wonders behind the bar while Deven is usually cooking up something great. Every once in a while, there’s live music or karaoke which have been fun to attend to. When the weather is nice, the outside patio situation has been great to mingle but on rainy days we like to hangout and play pool. Overall, I really enjoy my time here and try to recommend it when I can!Parking: More parking behind the bar.“
“Finally got to try this place. Had breakfast and the food was delicious! Nashville hot chicken with a bacon waffle and bourbon syrup. Every bit as good as it sounds! Good service, nice ambience. Saw lots more that looked amazing on the menu. Will definitely be back.“
“Dorky’s is such a fun vintage arcade! We will visit this downtown Tacoma location on the occasional weekend night for some drinks and arcade games. We did have to present ID for 21 and over this night, but I know they allow minors during normal business hours. They serve a variety of beer, cider, and seltzers at the counter for a low price and they have ATMs and coin machines on site. I highly recommend trying out this great local location!“
“Awesome bar, very chill atmosphere, friendly bartenders, and a huge selection of beer. I've been a regular there for some time now and it's always great to stop in for a pint. They've recently started doing bingo nights every other week, which has been a ton of fun.“
“This place has the best clam chowder I have ever had in my life! The lobster roll and the big will sandwiches were also amazing and the bread was so soft. Kind of had a sketchy crowd but didn't really mind that. 100% will be coming back!“
“It's one of the best pork chops around, especially when you add a side of creamy polenta. I have been here several time is the last few months on different occasions and they haven't disappointed. Several items on the menu that will leave you wanting more. A must try ?“
“This place is awesome. I love coming here. I love their liquor selection and I also love their pizza. The calzones are really good too. It's a good vibes and good times every time I'm here and a very friendly staff. I can't pinpoint how many times I've been here but of course I always get a pizza and some beers. I'm so happy this place is still around even during the pandemic.“
“Great little dive bar by the Tacoma Dome. It appeared that there was only a bartender and a cook on duty so we had to serve ourselves and order from the bar which wasn't a problem since it wasn't too busy. The cheeseburgers and pizza bread was great. Music was a little too loud for having normal conversation with our friends.“
“Our server was the best, funnest most delightful server we have had in quite a while! I asked her name and promptly forgot but she had dark hair with short bangs, a few tattoos. We always enjoy Matador but I wanted to specifically draw attention to this young lady for keeping hospitality alive and fun! Thank you!“
“This place is perfect in many ways ! It is chill atmosphere parking is easy front and rear points of entry , one of the cleanest little watering stops around , bathrooms are extremely clean just a fun place ! My favorite reason Miller high life on tap and the owners are family 5 star“
“Bought a $100 gift card for my Father for Christmas. Can't wait for him to tell me about his first experience . My wife and I enjoyed individual flights last night, seated on the vintage looking green valour settee. The Bigger Bodies Reds. Each was amazing and it was a tough choice of which to choose for a glass. New World was the flight my wife enjoyed. Next I had a glass of the Blesoe. Two of our friend couples came so we became six. Each of them enjoyed a flight or glass. The staff was informative,super friendly and hospitable. We will certainly return, great meeting spot and The Spar is across the street;). The only suggestion is filtered water please as the water provided tasted to my wife & I like tap water.“
“I've wanted to try this spot since reading about it in the local newspaper. Finally tried it tonight... and it exceeded expectations! Our server, Sara, was phenomenal. The food was fantastic. (Cheese soup? OMG!) The setting is super cool. We loved it and will make it a regular destination.“

“Swung by for the first time on Friday night. The drinks were good!! It was extremely dark inside, though, like almost pitch black. I couldn't see the decor well enough to appreciate it, because it felt like being at the Pirates of the Caribbean ride with the power out ???.There's a wall-height fountain with a stone facade that I thought was awesome, but it wasn't running at the time. The staff, esp the guy checking IDs Friday night was super friendly and kind :)Parking: Minute amount of street parking in the alley, probably mostly occupied by nearby residents, and most of the closest parking options are paid. Expect to walk the hills a little bit“
“If you’re a fellow Pinball Wizard this bar/pinball hall is for you. A great rotating selections of pinball machines, a quarter machine, a few sweet or salty snacks, and of course drinks. They also have Pac Man a classic, and Area 51 a personal favorite…¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Open late, they host tournaments, and it’s a great place to escape the chaos that can be 6th Ave.“
“The 1st time I have been there and the bartender is by far my favorite bartender. Great conversationalist and knows her drinks and if she isn't sure, she was more than okay to look it up and make sure she had the liquor or substitute to make my drinks! She had me stay there longer than I had planned, haha! Excellent “
“When my friend and I are in the mood to go out dancing we head to Dawson's. I find a lot of Joy in dancing and don't mind dancing all night by myself. We especially like to go when the T-Birds are playing. The last time we went my dentist Dr. Hickey was filling in for them. Next time I go, I will probably be when he is playing with his band. We like to go early and order the fish and chips and our service has always been excellent. Thank you, Denise“
“This is really cool! When you arrive you check in at the counter and get your bracelet. Then you serve your own drinks! This means you can sample as many as you like and you don't have to commit to a drink you're unsure of. The indecisive person's dream come true! The staff were friendly and were kind in answering questions. You can sit on chairs around a coffee table or there is a table that has swings for chairs. Fun but can be hard to sit on for a long time. Next time I'm in Tacoma I want to come back here!“
“Amazing! Just go!!! Love the staff, food and ambience! This is my absolute favorite place ever! Bartenders are amazing and people are consistently awesome as well as the WINGS! Best wings in town! A few weeks ago I went 3 times in 1 week to order the wings - that's how yummy they are lol! Love Hans place!!! You guys are the best!!!“
“Cute, fun hole-in-the-wall tap room. Amazing ciders and sours. Tried the bbq pork pans and Toms sandwiches, best sandwich I’ve ever had. Staff was super cool and friendly. Will be back just for a sandwich. Very clean in there too. 4729/10 reccomend!“
“I hear this place can get rowdy, no signs of itmaybe late night?? The Billy Bs burger is fucking amazing too. First time trying egg in my burger ngl it's somethin And the bartender is awesome makes a very nice coke n rum From your local transgender“
“This place was cute, I went with some girlfriends and the wine we had was really good. My friends got some appetizer meat plate with cold cut, nuts and fruit, and a few other things that they said were good. I had the veggie melt( I am vegan) but I didn't care for it, not the owners fault or anything just wasn't my thing. Other than that we had a great time!“
“We ate here late at night at the happy hour, the menu had good choices and the chicken tacos were really good. The waitresses and customer service is really good. I would highly recommend the street tacos and the guacamole. The bar area can get a bit loud with some customers. But overall, it was a good experience.“
“JJ was absolutely phenomenal. Great personality, super friendly, extremely forgiving to someone who had no idea how an actual barber shop worked (me, I’m the newbie) and holy s*** my hair never looked so good. He was so quick getting me done that I was truly shocked, in a good way of course. Need a cut? Go see JJ. Definitely my new spot.“
“I absolutely love this place. Great drinks, delicious food including salads, and really nice pizzas with a gluten-free crust option that is exceptional. Great atmosphere. But most of all, I love Reagan, the bartender, service person, Person-Who-Does-It-All!! She is GREAT at her job, and makes you feel welcome and at home and like you have a friend. She is the reason we are regulars. :-)“
“I had never heard of this bar before, I started coming when Sheri posted she was working here. I knew her from some other places so I was excited to check out something new and something close to home. We came a few times and really enjoyed the food. We came once when it was Sheri’s day off and the service was horrible. The bar had maybe 2 people, and there were 2 tables occupied. We were told we had to order at the bar. I could see the if it was busy…but why if it was so slow? We have definitely noticed a significant improvement since the previous manager left…not only more people but the people who work here just seem friendlier and the food has improved. My friends and I come often for the tacos on Tuesdays (which are so good) and we are happy to see the place so crowded and doing well!“
“Service was amazing, after my fair share of alcohol. Decided it was time for food.....I have doordashed .y fair share of food, but this was literally the best burger I've had in Tacoma so far. 5 guys, red robin, and Wendy's be damned..... definitely recommend“
“This place has been my only spot in Tacoma that I love to order wings , drink a beer, shoot pool and have a blessed time. Bartender, cook, and other Staff members are like family. I joke with the Bartender Ceci, " my football team is recruiting woman to play football", and she just laughs, gets my drink served with an amazing basket of wings and onion rings. On point, all the time..“
“We stayed nearby at an airbnb and found U Betcha Pub charming. I would say it's a regular spot for locals but everyone was super friendly and welcoming. The food is really good, it's "bar food" but that's what we wanted. We had hamburgers and chicken burgers both were delicious and generous sized portions. Decent selection of IPA's on tap which my adult son enjoyed. I like a nice cocktail and the bartender didn't disappoint! There's just something about that sign that felt nostalgic, we had to try. We went back a 2nd time too. Also great music, and the jukebox is one you can do by your phone. I didn't know but my kid did. Again, give it a try, service is excellent, food is great, and other customers welcoming.“
“1st time experience at CKCB, and it was on point. Looks small from the outside but comfortable inside. The staff are awesome. Shout out to our host, Yung, who made our dining experience even more enjoyable. I also want to acknowledge the Chef's and their food preparation. Our seafood boils & fried dishes were nicely seasoned and cooked to perfection. Our meals were brought out 15 to 20mins after ordering. Not bad since it was starting to get busy. Our orders were served warm, and the catfish, hush puppies, fries & shrimp were well prepared. The shrimp practically melted in my mouth. Our Shrimp Boil & beginners Seafood Boil was also a highlight. In closing, CKCB holds its own against all the other "Creole, Cajun, Crawfish Boil" restaurants. Very clean, well run, excellent Staff & Chef's, so I'll definitely be back!??? G *p.s. my personal experience.Parking: ?Kid-friendliness: ?Wheelchair accessibility: ?“
“Wonderful little place with reasonable prices, great food and cool ambiance. I come a lot and try different plates. Great French Dip, Oyster burger, burgers, chowder, chili, salads and much more. Pull tabs and sports on the tube. Full bar (no one under age tho). The train goes by at least every 30 minutes and the water is right outside the doors. People are friendly too.“
“I was craving deep fried pickles, so i googled it and this place came up. Me and my wife sat at the bar, ordered our food to go and had a couple beers while we waited. The wait staff was super friendly and attentive to us even with a full saturday night crowd. When we got home, i regretted getting the "stupid hot" sauce on my wings because DAMN! Lol. I love spicy, and the name lives up the heat. Luckily, i also got some garlic parmesan wings that were delicious, the deep fried pickles and a side salad. We cant wait to come back and dine in.“
“This place is super cute and great for studying! The service was really fast. I ordered a vanilla chai with oat milk. It was a little sweet for my taste but it was the perfect temperature so I'll know better for next time. The cookies were excellent warm and super big too.“
“Overall good vibe with fun female bartenders! A bit busy downstairs by the bar where the one pool table was always occupied. Upstairs where we hung out were big buck hunting (brought back good ol Hawkeyes college years!), foosball table and old school non-electric dart with chalk-score board! We were recommedned the place a cute local gay couple during our ramen outing at Mochi and had to hit the place up. It did not disappoint! Will definitely be back!“
“First of all, Zoe is amazing at handling large groups effortlessly and with a great attitude! I asked her for her favorite 'fancy' cocktail, and it did not disappoint. I also was not expecting such good brisket in this bar, but DAMN. All around an great experience.“
“Even though I won't be back here for a bit i shall always remember the Airport Tavern fondly. Regardless: Overall?? The staff in general are terrific; just about all of the patrons are kool as all get out and the venue itself is fantastic. Do not hesitate to visit A.T.“
“Dave,Kathy, and Olga are/were great friends of mine since 1986!Service is great!Food is greatBeer flows Plentiful and Cold!Pizza is greatSPECIALS are just that! But delicious!Attitudes are welcome!Conviviality cool and demented......what else can one ask for?Check it out@...... ( used to be Great Dane friendly as long as you feed it Fries)Cheers!Ozark; Mike! Lol“
“First time stop at All Seasons Sports Tavern was a great experience. Not crowded but certainly buzzing with life. The tavern wench did well getting the drinks and food out to all partons in a timely and cheerful manor. A group of 15+, mostly Army, were there having a party sending off one of their own and entertaining many other patrons with a line dance and outdoor game of cornhole aka toss across. Very polite and jubilant group of young people. Good food and overall pleasant home town feel. Definitely will stop in again.“
“So we went to a bar a month ago and spent about $200 we decided to try out a new one we went to this bar and we spent less money the drinks were better here the atmosphere was amazing the food was great the drinks were great the people were awesome including the bartenders obviously and they have like this mini Rave on taco Tuesday and 2 for $5 tacos I highly recommend going on Tuesday I mean any day that they have an event I probably recommend going but definitely Tuesday in my opinion I mean who doesn't like tacos for $5“
“We all went out to supper and drinks together. With about eight or ten other people, it was rather quiet for a Friday night. The chicken is fantastic, and everyone relished their meal. With only a few tables, we would anticipate excellent service, which we got.There are pull tabs, video games, darts, and pool to name a few activities.“
“Great vibe, great music, great employees!!! And let's not talk about the food!!! My first time in, I had a Reuben with fries. 10, 10,10!!!! Alicia, Gina and Bruno the chef were amazing. I am a foodie am a tough critic. Thank you Bruno!!! I will be back and telling my friends. Congratulations Sean (sp) the owner, you have a gold mine!!“
“(I didn't rate the food because I have food allergies--and I heard the menu is changing as of March or April 2024)The cider is amazing and the friendly staff is extremely knowledgeable about it. The handcrafted urban chic decor is conducive to great conversation and the musical offerings on Fridays and Saturdays have been top notch.“
