“I’m going to start by saying how incredible the bartender, Ryn, is. She was so accommodating and recommended a watermelon cucumber tequila drink that was absolutely delicious. The cook hooked it up with tacos, and they were exactly what I needed at 12 p.m. There’s a pool table, a live DJ, and an amazing atmosphere. Every staff member had nothing but great vibes and made the experience even better. I’ll definitely be back!“

“Wonderful to find a restaurant with great home made food. I had the poblano soup and a Monte Cristo sandwich - both just as good as I could have made at home. My husband had a salad and French dip. Everything very fresh and generous. Cheerful and quick service as well. We leave satisfied and happy we came.“

“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“

“This place was amazing! The hospitality was top notch! They noticed I was new, and they took my buddy and I on a mini tour of the building. It felt very welcoming! Wide selection of cigars ranging from your mid tier Perdomos all the way to high tier Opus X & Arturo Fuentes... PLUS a lounge area with comfortable couches to smoke at. You can enjoy your stogies at the connected Bird Bar! The Bird Bar has a good selection of beer, liquor and the food exceeded my expectations. Stellar combinations in my opinion. This is definitely gonna be a spot I frequent from now on. I don't know what else I need! 👍“

“What a great place!!

It’s free no cover charge!!

Karaoke seven days a week so anyone who’s going in there won’t judge you because they know it’s a karaoke bar

When you first walk in it is a little tight/snug but once you go into the building towards the stage, there’s a lot more room to have fun. There is a pool table and booth to sit at and lots of markings on the wall to read.

Although it is a historic building so we must preserve it and not right on the building anymore

May I add if you didn’t already notice Bob’s Java is a teapot ! Sooo cuttee

The crowd is always super sweet too I would say a great bar for younger people to go to in Tacoma (personally I think it’s better than Silverstone)“
