“Looooove Parkway. It's like a secret neighborhood tavern that only the cool people know about. Big Maq and BLBT are my recommended food items. They also have great soup of the day options. And they just started serving liquor for the first time ever!“

“Classic diner with good food for the price. I like the fact that you order before you sit down, you know your food order is in but you still get the service of a sit down restaurant. They keep your coffee topped off and the food is usually pretty quick even on busy Sunday mornings.“

“Pros: Reasonably priced drinks. Don't forget to bring cash to tip the KJ. Wonderful karaoke atmosphere. Some people are super awesome singers. Some people, like me, are terrible singers. The people in the bar and the KJ are equally supportive of both which is why it's such a great crowd.Cons: Super smokey everywhere. But not enough to deter me from returning. We are already making plans for next week.“

“First you have to understand that this would be considered a drive bar. After that, understanding that they have a few games, pinball, darts, pool and decent people there makes this a hidden spot for fun eat before you go, but at the least they serve liquor and have beers on tap. These are the spots that help keep Tacoma small and are perfect when you really want to just have a drink and unwind with a mixed crowd“

“This place is an experience. Very interesting vibe inside, very friendly staff, and inexpensive beer. Would I eat here? No. I would not. Something about the fact that the place used to have monkeys inside really taints things for me. But I would love to return for a can of Rainier and some karaoke.“
