Place was cool but a bottle neck design leaves you squeezing past people all the time. The bartenders were amazing!

Bob's Java Jive in Tacoma is a lively dive bar known for its unique building shaped like a coffee pot, jungle motif, and eclectic decor. The bar features karaoke every night and hosts a monthly pasta dinner and jazz night. The welcoming owners and friendly employees create a down-to-earth environment that makes visitors feel like regulars almost immediately. The bar has a stage on the roof, a smoking area, and a sociable main bar, adding to its vibrant atmosphere. While the food may be just okay, drunk food is highly praised, and beer is always fresh. The bar's charm comes from its history, the teapot design, and its community vibe, making it a must-visit spot in Tacoma for those who enjoy karaoke, good drinks, and a fun, quirky environment. Despite its dark windows, the character of the largest teapot building in the world shines through, and it remains a beloved part of Tacoma since 1927.
