I've driven by the Lucky Silver Tavern numerous times, but have never stopped in. Well, that all changed and I totally dig it! It's on South Tacoma Way in an area you wouldn't really expect to find a bar and next door to Marcia's Silver Spoon, which is only open until the afternoon. The bartender, Jaid, was super nice! The bar is clean, had a DJ, had a really cool menu (I attached a photo, but I did not try anything), and even has a covered outdoor patio. Great time! We'll definitely be back. read more

Gabe is an amazing bartender and we've been here twice now. Food is really good and the cook (can't remember his name- so sorry!!!) really cares about delivering quality food. He hand presses the hamburger patties and the wings are amazing!! Clean, great service and food. My husband raved about the bacon hamburger patty. Fries also on point. Absolutely recommend!!! read more

The staff were so friendly!! Our bartender was sweet and helpful. The Korean bbq tacos were insanely good along with their fries. I heard great things about the cheeseburgers so I can't wait to come back and try one. They had it decorated for Christmas so the ambiance is great, plus they have outdoor seating in the back which is pretty big. read more

I came in here on St. Patrick's Day to check it out for the first time. Chill spot with friendly people. The food was good and I can't wait to come back to try more. I didn't know they did trivia so that was a fun surprise. My friends and I will be back soon! read more

This place is great! Clean and the food is very tasty. The young guy with the beard is the best bartender and pours a decent drink, the rest of them ? It doesn't taste as though there is any booze. Must Eats: The FRIES! I call them fry crack, they are honestly the best fries in pierce county. Hand cut, soaked in seasoning and then a heavy dose of furikake. O.M.G. The guy making them on the weekdays makes them the best. The korean chicken quesadilla is also fantastic. It gets busy so patience is necessary. Great happy hour! read more

Gabby and Ian were fantastic! What a great menu and atmosphere- unique and inviting for two out of town folks coming to a new spot for food! Definitely recommend :) The outside area was very nice and they have alot of cool features and entertaining professional guests! Extreme Dwarfinators are coming and I wish I lived near to see the event because they're set up as a really cool venue. Definitely recommend:) read more

I'm sorry... whaaaat??!!! What a great tavern!! Food was amazing. French fries were out of this world and the KBBQ quesadillas.. chefs kiss. Staff was great. Bartender, engaging and fun! We've already picked out of next orders for future visits. ‍ read more

The service and food were outstanding. I wish I would have thought to take a picture for my review but I didn't think it could possibly be as good as it is. read more

Great classic hand pressed burgers! Cold beer and wonderful fries. Prices are an excellent value. Old dive bar with a heart of silver.

This unassuming little tavern in an industrial part of STW is amazing. The lovely bartender Karen pours like she's been working gay bars all her life (HEAVY HANDED) and she treats you like you're family. Out of oranges for my old fashioned? triple Sec! Who'd have thunk it? Big ups to Karen! The Reuben I had rivals delis on both coasts. $10 for a big Reuben on marble rye (cue Seinfeld joke) with chips and a cookie? SIGN ME THE FUCK UP. I'll be back - a lot. read more

Stopped in for the first time this place got new owners with some great taste, I never heard of Korean bbq tacos until Lastnight !!! Wow the meat was juicy, seasoned well, and let's just say they weren't shy with loading the tacos up. Two corn tortilla grilled, Korean bbq meat, cilantro, pickled carrots & radish. The only thing I would do is add extra onions & some jalapeños for my specific order other than that this is a MUST TRY ASAP !!! I'll be back . read more

I'm something of a burger connoisseur, and Lucky Silver's burger offers a unique taste that I can't wait to enjoy again. A friend suggested that Lucky Silver has the best burger in Tacoma (and there's a handwritten sign at the bar proclaiming it). I'd disagree, because that title is held by The Forum's "Jucy Lucy," but Lucky Silver's burger is genuinely great. It's huge, and the hand-packed patty makes it taste like a homemade burger. Eating this burger sent through me a wave of nostalgia from my old Boy Scout camping trips. The woman behind the bar clearly takes pride in her establishment. We were the only patrons there, so she took care of us in an almost motherly way. She provided credits for the digital jukebox so we could select our playlist for the evening, guided us through the menu to help us decide what to order, and joked with us throughout the night. It felt very informal and alleviated the awkwardness inherent in being the only diners in the restaurant. It almost felt like we were guests in her home. As the evening progressed, a few other patrons came in, several of whom were greeted by name by the bartender. I have no doubt that this is a favorite haunt for many regulars. The Lucky Silver Amber was a little bland, the fries were a little over-cooked, and the decor/atmosphere is very standard bar fare, but the burger and the hospitality made Lucky Silver a local hole-in-the-wall we'll visit again. read more

Love this little place. Lots of top drinks made with passion. Great food and cool vibe. Give em a try.

Great dive bar! Friendly service, large pours...nachos were just ok. :-)

It's in a busy road but it ain't so busy here on a Saturday. Me and my people took over the pool table easy. Also played dart. Drinks are coo and the food ain't bad at all. Try the Korean tacos, it smack! read more

One of the best burgers I've ever had. Fresh meat (NOT FROZEN) and hand cut fries. Kathy the owner is a special lady. She does it all. Tends the bar, cooks and plays the server role as well. This bar has been in her family for over 50 years and she is carrying on the legacy. She takes pride In her business and her customers. Definitely one of Tacomas gems. read more

Beer was cold and the cheeseburgers were legit. Service was a little slow and bartender appeared mentally distracted. We had to ask for everything instead of being helped. Will definitely go again tho. read more

Best burger on Tacoma! Don't let the exterior fool you. Kathy runs a clean joint with LOTS of regulars, which should tip you off that this is a great place (unless you are an asshole - the you get your own Christmas sock). 40 years in business: you don't do that unless you got the goods. Kathy has owned the place for 23 of those and she knows what she's doing. Had the Deschutes IPA and Lucky Silver Amber (made Sound Brewery out of Poulsbo) - both excellent. Ordered Kathy's burger and it is the best in Tacoma. Picture included. If you want a solid meal, or quiet drink with a friend, Lucky Silver is my recommendation - and this is my first visit in here. Just feels like the kind of bar you hope to find in any town in America you happen to find yourself hungry or thirsty. Cheers. read more

The food here is amazing, especially if Angie is cooking. The drinks are generous. Come hungry, leave happy!!

Kathy has the best burgers in town. They are fresh and you can tell she uses premium meat. The fries are hand cut none of that frozen crap. They taste different if your not used to hand cut. They are crisp tasty and not overly greasy. On Wednesdays she has tacos and taco salads that are delicious and a great bang for your buck. She also makes a killer Ruben. The menu might not be huge but don't let it deter you from Tacoma's BEST BURGERS. I don't drink so I can't speak for that but when it comes to food I can say is a must so don't let the outside fool you it's worth the stop. read more

During this covid 19 era, these burgers are on point. The two women that served me today were also authentically nice towards me.

We moved to N Tacoma a few months ago and this spot is out of the way but so worth it if you like a good dive bar. Tom and Megan are both so hospitable and great at their jobs. They have great food and drinks at super reasonable prices. Check it out!!! You won't be disappointed read more

This is one of my favorite hangouts!! Mellow, chill vibe, pool table, lots of TV's, outdoor area to sit in the sun, really friendly bar tenders and cooks and Kathy goes out of her way for you every time!! I absolutely love her chicken and jo's and the burgers are fabulous!! Def a place to check out! read more

After driving by the Lucky Silver several times I decided to stop by one night while my wife was having her friends over for a girls night and I was not disappointed! It was everything I want my dive bars to be, dirty, people playing pool, lots of cold beer, cheap snacks, I was in dive bar heaven! I noticed lots of regulars which is a good thing and the staff treated me just as well as they did the regulars which may be a reason why those who are became regulars in the first place. read more

We got the Club Sandwich to go and it was outstanding. A real sandwich made the old fashioned way and not skimpy. Never judge a book by its cover. We will be back again and again. Thank you for serving during this pandemic. Delicious! read more

A nifty old dive just down the road from the Java Jive that has been owned and run by the same family since 1966. It was bingo night when I attended -- I played in for three games and won nothing. Prizes included a can of sweet corn, a box of Ritz crackers, a battery lighted magnifying glass, and a box of Bodyform panty liners. read more

Been a few years since I had been here. But everything is the same. Great service and even greater food. Totally awesome hamburger and delish wings. Oh and the fries made to order from real potato's! Family owned and operated for over 40 years I understand. I really missed this place. read more

Cool little dive bar fast and friendly service. Bathroom was also clean! Draft beer prices are pretty cheap as well!

Nice place. Good parking, good food, easy to locate, waited on by the owner, Kathy. Nice outdoor beer garden. My husband and I had a really great time. read more

Over priced drinks and the owner Kathy Carr will step over $5 to pick up a $1. Up charge for a tall then they up charge you for a double cause it's a tall and they charge for mixer. Food is mediocre at best at a premium price. Could have been a great corner neighborhood bar but the owner is greedy. She thinks people come there for her wifi but you were better off with your cell service. Do yourself a favor and go to Dawson's or go downtown where you get a stiff drink at a good price. read more

Definitely has the potential to achieve dive bar greatness, but right now is a mish mash of free beer distributor merch and it's a little too bright. Other than that, staff and patrons are friendy, place is clean, and it's a good spot to hang out while you wait for the Jive to open. read more
