Googled dive bars near me and this was on the list! Went here and it was the perfect vibe for a Friday night! Mixed aged crowd, everyone was just having a good time.

Very lively queer-friendly dive bar. Very supportive of a lot of drag performances. Cocktails are tasty. Especially the Moscow mules. Service is consistently good. Food is just alright. Limited menu of panini type sandwiches with chips.

The best drinks and events!
Handcrafted ginger beer.
I loved being able to order pork rinds with a choice of seasoning--his parents are awesomely with a ginger beer.
Please offer carnivore choices for the nacho toppings--some of us think beyond beef taste like cat food. (We applaud the effort.)
Hands down the best Queens and the best drag shows... However, that spotlight is quite blinding!!
Great staff and great clientele.
One of my favorite dive bars.

Best cocktails in the city hands down.

Dive bar vibe with classy cocktails. Great bar for those that don't drink alcohol, they make their own ginger beer and tonic water, which are terrific on their own or mixed in a mock-tail.

Enjoyed sitting out on the front patio and enjoying a cold beverage in the sunshine. There's also a covered back patio area that feels cozy and secluded.

Eclectic mix of people, lgbtqia+ folks, biker dudes on Harley's, frat looking guys in polos, college age kids, all just enjoying a chill laid back spot.

I did not try the food, but it looks like they have simple simple bar food like sandwiches etc. Church Cantina is right across the street if you're really hungry.

One of my favorite places to visit when I'm in Tacoma. A damn gem ❤️

I checked this place out with a friend who recommended it. I am very picky about bars because I want to feel safe and comfortable. Both the bartender and patrons went out of their way to make sure of that. Not to mention the bartender was great to talk to and made a tasty lemon drop! If I read their name on the note correctly, Meche was wonderful and sold me on returning. I would recommend this place to any of my LGBTQ friends who want that classic bar vibe.
