10 Best Dive Bars near University Place

“Great local spot. The food is above expectations for a dive, kind staff, nice vibes, the best karaoke and the people who come here are a fun crowd. If you are new to the area or have never been, spend a nice night at the Station; you will enjoy yourself.“

“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!“

“Went there for karaoke but they didn't have it, bummer because I heard it was dynamite. Oh well !

Parking: A lot of parking in the lot, and street parking.

Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair accessible bathroom also“

“Shrimp and grits are amazing! Eggs cooked over medium, no snotty whites. Perfect! Bacon was crisp and biscuits were wonderful! Amber is a great server with a great personality!!!!! Thanks for a terrific Sunday morning breakfast!“

“Good times Good times good times good times“

“Their modified grilled cheese sandwiches are amazing. Great atmosphere and service.(And if you have a good nose, you can still smell the waffle cones from a previous tenant)Make sure to put their sister bar "the mule" on your list to visit as well. Easily just as good.“

“We were looking for a spot to eat outdoors with our pups and a couple of friends and happened on this gem. Delicious sandwiches, ginger beer and craft cocktails! We'll be back!“

“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.“

“WOW! (Best choice for a late breakfast) Welcoming prompt greetings. Staff seamlessly took care of all of our needs! Thank you Chris, Courtney, John, The owner Franco, Bonnie, Angie...this was my first dinning experience here, after hearing so many positive mentions. I must say that I had such lovely time! I look forward to my next visit- complete with outstanding customer service, cleanliness, quality portions... An atmosphere most charming.... 😋“
