Fries
Edith A.

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.

Dive bar that has been cleaned up as of late. Staff was nice. Didn't eat but next time I want to try the Chi-Town hot dog.

Fry Crack. Get them!

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!

Gabby is a lovely bartender. She's very kind and dedicated to her work. I enjoy the ambiance at the Lucky Silver as well! The food is affordable and delicious!

I went here once and the wings and service were amazing!! Jaid is the best bartender there is, she's very attentive. And the new brunch menu? Best mimosa tower and food there is! Will definitely be coming here again.

Half a delicious drink

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.

Korean bbq tacos ..
Tynequa B.

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 .

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.

Such a cute little dive in Tacoma! If you know me you know I *live* for a dive bar. This was on the…read moreway to another plan in the area and we had some time to kill, so we stopped in for a quick drink and to check it out after seeing how close it was. Parking lot is super small, but they do have ample street parking right out front and we found a spot no problem. This bar is definitely on the cozier side, with maybe a total of 30 seats if I had to guess. There's about 10-12 seats at the bar and then the rest is booth seating on the opposite wall. The selection was rather decent for drinks, with them surprising us with not one, not two, but FOUR hard cider choices for my husband. Most places only have 1-2, and they usually are ones he doesn't like, but he got lucky here. Another bonus: strong pours. :) I saw a menu for food, but it was only a few choices - I forget what they all were, but I know one was a cheeseburger. So, probably don't plan to come here stuffed, but they do have snacks should you need it. This spot is definitely on the lowkey side but it was a comfortable stop. We're not in the area too often, but we would return if we were.

Not sure why Park Avenue Tavern didn't get a review by me yet. I have certainly been there at least…read moreonce. Well, I will fix that now by getting a review posted. The times I was here with Steve we usually stuck with the beer selection and with what was on tap there. It's mostly local beers in the metro area and I remember the variety of that list being pretty generous. So that was all good. We even got some food to eat here. I have had their burgers here and liked them quite a bit. The classic type burger seems to be the Park Burger and along with fries it proved to be a good meal. Definitely a nice establishment for the neighborhood!

I've been going to this bar for probably about a decade now. It has been through several different…read moreincarnations and three different owners in this time. It has remained one of the coolest dive bars I've ever been in. In the last couple of years, they started serving some really, really yummy food. I get the Philly cheesesteak, but have them use cheddar and put extra onions on it. It is absolutely to die for. Steve, the mastermind behind the majority of the menu, also recently added on Browned butter cocoa puff marshmallow treats. ZOMG! They no longer just have beer and wine, they have hard alcohol now. This is resulted in some, how you say, "more interesting" evenings than it did before, but overall the crowd is really friendly and supportive of the nightly karaoke singers. Had my first date with Flava Dave there. I don't drink and neither does my now husband (Flava Dave) so we go up and do duets and call ourselves The Sober Barflies. The karaoke hosts are always a lot of fun. Flava Dave picks up fill-in karaoke shifts there occasionally. Sam Cori is adorable, upbeat, and a classically trained singer and songwriter. She makes *another* performance of Bohemian Rhapsody fun and fresh again! We even had Gabe (one of the Karaoke hosts with a heartthrob vibrato bass voice), sing the music for our wedding and host karaoke at in my parents' sizeable rec-room afterward! He knocked my folks out signing Unchained Melody, their song, at our little reception. A lot of momentous occasions, birthday gatherings, and bachelorette parties take place there. I've seen a number of people get proposed to, and once saw a very spontaneous, actual wedding. There's a lot of really cool history in that place. It's over 100 years old and it's an official historical landmark in the United States. There's a lot of lore behind it. Stories of being haunted. It's a really amazing place to see. Plus, it's shaped like a coffee pot, how can you beat that?

These roadside America kitschy buildings amuse me greatly, and I'll always go out of my way to visit them when I can. Bob's Java Jive doesn't disappoint!

I had to refrain from finishing it quickly it was so delicious and smooth. We came for drinks and ended up also getting a charcuterie board. The entire experience was tailored to great customer service with a high end feel. The board was beautifully laid out and had a variety of meats, cheese, jam, hummus and toasted bread. It fed three of us with some left over bites. The drinks are crafted by a bartender who clearly knows what they're doing. Perfect balance of alcohol and mixer in very cute glassware. The bar is intimate. When you walk in there is a crescent shaped booth to the right followed by the bar with stools. Then to the left are single booths lining the wall to the back of the bar. We sat in the crescent booth and had a great spot to people watch and enjoy the vibe of the bar. The room is red. The chairs are leather. And the music is jazzy with an old school Sinatra feel at times. Once the bar was full and the line was out the door the bartender came and slide a door open between the crescent booth and bar. Everyone in the bar halted as he revealed a red room with more seating and neon lights. It was entertaining watching the bar come to life on a Saturday early evening. It gets busy so get in for happy hour and enjoy discounted crafty cocktails and bites.

After dinner a group of friends and I were looking for a new bar we hadn't tried off 6th Ave. Holy…read moreMoly Bar sounded like a really cool bar.! Holy Moly did not disappoint! Such a cool 70s vibe! I loved all the decor and the ambience! My large group took a seat in the back near the swordfish and fireplace, which I loved!! I had a lemon drop, which was absolutely perfect. My only complaint came by the request of my two friends who are steadfast, "old-fashioned" drinkers. Their old fashions had some type of red flowers sprinkled in the drink. Every time they took a sip, they complained! I eventually went up to the bar at the end and they told us it was Bergamont! So perhaps if you'd like to stick to the classic, ask to skip the Bergamont- as it has a very strange texture when you're drinking the drink. Overall, really, really cool place!

At first glance it appears super tiny, but the bar goes back pretty far and is a good size. We got there before the nighttime crowds and managed to score the cozy couch in front of the fireplace in the back. It filled up quickly after that, though! The mood is moody and cozy, the perfect spot for making this apart of date night. I can't speak much to the food as we did not order any, but the menu is pretty elevated for a bar. I wouldn't say this place is divey at all, but the menu was still surprising. Service was good and they had a great selection of drinks. I got a hazy IPA (as per usual) and it was delicious! We also got a couple of shots here and absolutely adored the shot glasses they use. They look like tiny cocktail glasses! Overall we thought Holy Moly was a vibe and we will definitely include this in our 6th Ave rotation.
