    "Stack n Cheese", 7 mac-n-cheese balls, coleslaw and some pulled pork. Not much of a meal. Cheese balls are made w pepper Jack.

    Location = B, parking = D, seating = B, menu = C+, Service = B, Food = B, value = C+, Atmosphere = A+, Bathrooms = B Second time here, this time we ordered food and played trivia which was fun. Location - heart of 6th Ave, where you can walk to multiple bars & Grills, so plenty of options for continued fun if wanted. Parking - Heart of 6th Ave so very challenging! If you 'Uber' or get dropped off, no problem. No dedicated parking, just on the street or side streets. Seating - This place has two sections: 1st is the "bar area" with stools at the bar, and two 4-seater pub tables, 1 sit down table at front window. 2nd is a larger room with traditional tables n chairs. Menu - limited, interesting, just okay. Appetizers & entrees. Service - friendly, but both times challenged to get out drinks. Must order at the bar so a line develops and it can be a long wait. No table service. Food - it's okay. Not 'really good' and not bad. Just, meh. I had the 'stack n cheese', could be better but they used pepper-jack. (Wife liked them) Don't do that! Wife had fish-n-chips which was 1 large piece of fish and fries. It came with "mashed peas" which, we agree, were terrible. Just imagine Gerbers baby food. Value - again, average. Their specialty "Cocktails" are $15-$18 each!! Food a little better. Atmosphere - it's a cool, dark wood, full bar, fun light strings, decor is nice. Bathrooms - 2, both unisex, roomy, not claustrophobic, but dark.

    A quiet Sunday afternoon worked out perfectly to try this new establishment out.Went for the haddock and chips.Superb.One large filet with mushy peas,tartar sauce and very tasty chips(fries).Excellent batter makes the difference and the kitchen nailed it.Thumbs up for the Flemish stew from my better half.Very cosy pub.Nice furnishings,piped in music not too loud,full bar with an interesting selection of draught beer.Friendly staff made you feel welcome.Will definitely return for more.

    Great new place in Tacoma. Cool pub with an Irish twist. Feels homey. Tasty food. The fish and chips were very good. Had the beef stew, also very good. Check it out. Service was also great.

    I had the Flemish Beef Stew over mashed potatoes & it was amazing! My boyfriend tried the Irish Spice Bag & said it was good. We got it to go because there were no gluten free options avail for his son. It was a nice atmosphere there as we waited for our food. The staff was nice. I hope to try more items soon.

    I was on the hunt for a new lunch spot with time to kill and found this place on Yelp. My wife and frequently travel to Europe and one of our favorite dishes is fish n chips in a London pub. So I headed over for some fish! I'm not a huge fry guy but I saw the Flemish Stew on the menu so I was hopeful I could sub the chips for a small cup of stew. When I walked in I was greeted by Iker the bartender. I sat at the bar and we discussed my choice. He was on board. The food came out super quick! The breading on the fish was really light and flavorful. I added some lemon and malt vinegar to the fish and it was some of the best fish (sans chips) I've had in the US. The Flemish stew was AMAZING! And if you like Mushy peas definitely get them! Very tasty! I'll definitely be coming back for more of that fish and stew! Iker and Mike were both super friendly. The music was a blusey vibe and paired well with the atmosphere. They had a decent collection of whiskeys and bourbons. Only about a half dozen beers and ciders on tap but it looks like it's a frequently rotating selection. They have trivia and game nights throughout the week and I just really loved the vibe of this place. Will definitely be back with friends!

Everything is expensive but that would be fine if the food was exceptional but that was just not the case. The service was very friendly and good. Kudos to the staff. The space is huge. It is attractive and the noise level is pretty good for the number of people in there. High ceilings help. One problem with the number of people though is there are only two unisex toilets available and my wait time was ten minutes. I may have gotten unlucky with my timing but it seems like two larger restrooms plus the single unisex bathrooms would be in order for over a hundred people.

Me and my friends took a bite of the pork belly the same time and we all look at each other on how unbelievably good it was. Drinks were good too. Ambience: looks like a newer establishment. Clean, safe. I love the layout and how the dance floor is in the center so you get to watch people line dancing. Establishment: safe protocols in place. everyone's ID is checked thoroughly, security walks around often, bar won't serve you unless you have a wristband. Will def return again when I come visit.

I had the Malbec with my steak and my husband had the cowboys & angels Cabernet Sauvignon with his mixed plate and polenta. The peaches & cream ice cream was tasty, and the plantain foster was as well. I'd say the hard bits in the foster weren't my favorite but my husband liked them, so that's up to personal preference. Overall, we enjoyed our evening and would recommend!

We had only just arrived and ordered one drink before this took place. The "manager" was completely unprofessional. Maybe this is part of the set up. Let people spend their money first and then take away their drinks. Second, when trying to request a couple of songs that were more well known, the DJ informed us that the songs were already played earlier and he was not allowed to repeat songs. Instead he continued to play music that catered to maybe 10-12 of the same people who knew the dance. This was later in the evening and one would think that some of the more popular songs could be played again to get more people on the dance floor. It's a simple model really. The more fun people are having, the more they will want to stay, and will continue to spend their money at your place of business. However, based on our experience and what seemed to be lower patronage than we would expect on a Friday night, I would say the Big Whiskey Puyallup is the opposite of a good time. Between rude, over-the-top staff and poor choices in music, we are completely dissatisfied with the establishment and will not return. From what I've seen in other written reviews, we are not the only ones with this opinion.

They have a lot of seating inside, a well-maintained bathroom, a water station, a spot to open bottled drinks and more. You order through a kiosk as my boyfriend and I stood at the ordering spot and they seemed too busy to notice us. Once we placed our order, we saw how efficient the workers were at getting orders made. They were quite busy when we arrived and even afterwards as there was people coming in to order or pick up orders. We ordered the Saeuji, Seoul Burger, Bulgogiger, Biscoff Shake, Hwachaeji, Fanta, garlic French fries, and french fries. The food and drinks were all so good, but we all agreed that the Saeuji was the best of the three. The Biscoff Shake was refreshing and smooth and I really enjoyed the modern twist on hwachaeji.
