18 Best Pubs in Tacoma

“The Red Hot is one of Tacoma’s best beer spots. The food is good, great selection of beers, and the service is top notch. Particularly our favorite bartender Elliott, who is such a mensch. He knows the kind of beer I like and is always Johnny on the spot with a great recommendation. My wife thinks he’s super cute, I cannot say, but I’ll take her word for it. He does always smell good, I’ll give him that. Except once when he smelled rather strongly of sauerkraut but that was the result of a rather unfortunate mishap with a 5 gallon bucket of sauerkraut which was entirely outside of his control. He can also spit mad rhymes but only after a few strong IPA’s. Anyway, go check out The Red Hot and if you get Elliott as a server, drop a phat beat on him and watch what he can do.“

“I've been coming here for years. The breakfast menu is just as amazing as the lunch and dinner menu, and the rotating specials always give me something new to try. Not to mention I even had the best Thanksgiving dinner of my life here.
In top of that, great beer on tap, and a giant whiskey collection to experiment with.“

“GREAT BEERS AND LOVED THE AMBIENCE! Would definitely recommend and go again!“

“Honestly. I am shocked about how good this bar food is, and how friendly the staff is here. I typically dine or drink at upscale places, but everything here is made fresh, and it's pretty effing cheap. The drinks are great, they have a ton of regulars, and yea the crowd at night can be a little rough, but everyone respects. Day time drinking here is great as well! Been coming here the past month, never had an issue. Great pool table too! Music can be too loud at times though, which can be hard to have a conversation.“

“Cozy atmosphere, exceptional service, and an impressive selection of beers and creative cocktails. The perfect spot to unwind with friends or catch a game. Hannah, Destiny, Gooner and Angele are the best & nicest bartenders I’ve met! Five stars, will definitely be back!“

“The food was fantastic. Our server Angie was on point, friendly and attentive. Drinks and beer were cold and strong. Loved it!“

“Fantastic tavern in a beautiful neighborhood in north end. A huge variety of tasty local beers. Beautifully decorated with a warm inviting atmosphere. Didn’t have food but heard (and saw) that it’s fantastic. Lots of games including shuffleboard, darts and pool for only 50 cents!!“

“We had the monthly gathering go here for our friend circle club. The air conditioning is not the best in the summer and the fans inside are really loud. Conversation is difficult. Food is delayed with a long wait. Drinks are delayed. Parking is free. Restroom is tiny and there is a line. The carpets inside have a wet mop smell.“

“Really cool spot, fun to explore the multi-level bar, look for the speak easy, shoot some pool, enjoy the decor. Had a drink from up top and the tiki bar below, very interesting establishment with lots of embellishments. Good drinks, didnt get food.“

“Awesome Staff... Great neighborhood Pub.

Food was wonderful... I had a their Smash 2 patty Cheese Burger / Tater Tots ( Man I LOVE Tots !!! ). My co-worker had their Nachos and Loved them also !

Lots of TVs to watch the current NHL & NBA playoffs and to catch the Mariner's baseball games.

Check Out the West End Pub, everyone. I think you will love it like I do.“

“bangers and mash, schnitzel, huge salads“

“Delicious food along with super friendly and attentive staff definitely need to visit during the day next time to see more views definitely recommend it if you're in the area“

“I went to the pub today for the first time and I loved it the food was great, atmosphere was great, it has pool tables and pull tabs, and most of all the employees were amazing Bianca was awesome she told us about the food they had she was very kind and friendly. I definitely will go back“

“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.“

“Flying boots is very much so the typical dive bar. The drinks are reasonably priced, the clientele are all friendly, and the bartenders (while very busy at some points) are friendly.
I recommend they're jalapeno poppers and the cheese logs as all of those are made scratch in house.“

“This place is soooo good! More than a couple of vegan options available. I can’t wait to go back!“
