This has been my go to local watering hole for the last few months. It's a pretty big spot with lots of seating, two pool tables & touch tunes. They have events of different nights of the week like trivia, pool tournaments and Live music. Bartenders and friendly & accommodating. I love the mozzarella sticks & seasonal hot toddy , with an extra shot of jack. Cheers! read more

Do NOT order the calamari. It is inedible. I eat spicy Korean, Indian...this is bizarre. The last time I had salt and pepper calamari was on south tacoma way and it was delicious. This is disgusting and inedible. read more

North End on Pearl - Cobbacado salad - fresh & yummy hard cider - Pool Halls Near Me - Ruston, Washington

Usually the service is good, but last night, I spent ten minutes just standing at the bar in front of the bar tenders and not even a " hi " or " one second were with customers" or a "what can we get started for you". I understand and am sure they didn't do it on purpose. I will never again expect professional service at this bar. read more

I had a really great dining experience here today, and although it's been awhile since I Yelped, I'm motivated to give this establishment a shout out. I bellied up to the bar (my preferred seating) and ordered the Taco Tuesday special, Pork Tostadas. The chunks of perfectly seasoned pork melted in my mouth, and married beautifully with the freshly made-homemade-beans, freshly diced tomatoes and green onion, fresh homemade tostada shells, lots of fresh sliced avocados, salsa side, and a good portion of thick sour cream (as opposed to the sports bar restaurant across the street whose stingy with their sour cream side). Great service also, I washed it down with a few glasses of decent house chard, and got a takeout box for the rest that will make another meal. Oh yeah, only $17.00 for the meal special. read more

I really enjoyed the Grilled Coho salmon entree with roasted vegetables consisting of fresh broccoli, cauliflower and onions with deliciously seasoned rice. It was the best salmon dinner I've had in Tacoma. We've enjoyed salads, sandwiches, and wraps here and all the food has been outstanding. The service Riley gave us was friendly and food served in a timely manner. It's a fun, relaxed atmosphere and very clean. read more

I love the street tacos and the karaoke every Sunday. The DJ is very welcoming and very energetic. It has a good atmosphere, and I will be back. read more

North End on Pearl - Karaoke - Pool Halls Near Me - Ruston, Washington

I was super excited when North End on Pearl opened because it's just down the street from our house. It's fine. Not my favorite place, just because it has a sports bar kind of feel, but I do enjoy live music. I'm not a big fan of the menu. I feel like there could be a wider variety of vegetarian options. My significant other had the chicken strips last time we were there and he said those were good. When I go to the bar to order a drink, I feel like the service isn't great. However, last time we were in, we had a woman serving us and she was pretty awesome. I'm sure I will be in again, just because it's so close. read more

So disappointing! While the server was lovely the food was terrible. The calamari was incredibly salty and overcooked. The fried chicken sandwich had a nice bun but the chicken was a low-end foodservice slurry patty that was not whole muscle. Disgusting and pricey at $18.95. Server was made aware of our unhappiness and while she agreed with our assessment did nothing. Will not return. read more

service is fast and friendly. The bartenders are always enthusiastic, providing great recommendations and checking in. It's clear that the staff genuinely enjoy what they do, which adds to the overall positive vib. read more

Went in tonight (a Monday), not too busy. Sat at a table because it does say open seating. Waited for about 10mins watching the waitress stand at the bar on their phones. No acknowledgment that we were even there. We have been here 3 times with great service and food and plan to be regulars with being fisherman down at Point Defiance. Disappointing for sure. read more

Mary and stopped in for the first time, this business has only been open for a week; everything is fresh and new. There is a nice upscale vibe. The staff was very friendly. We shared the coconut shrimp that had a mild sweet chili sauce, and the Philly sandwich with tots. Everything was fresh and tasty, we enjoyed the food. Get in here and give this place a try. read more

Went for breakfast when it first opened and was impressed! Went last night and the atmosphere was still nice, but that was about it. The service was slow, the food was bland and the band was terrible. Poor song choices and way too much talking! Two songs in 20 minutes. Sorry to say, as we were set for an enjoyable evening. Don't know if we'll give it another try. read more

When we were there, live music was on! Loved it. Server is kind. Food was ok. It was very nice they are able to serve food after 10pm!!! Late night snack is important:) read more

This new Pub has a fun, energized ambiance. We really enjoyed ourselves. The staff is wonderful. The venue is impressive - cool bar, pool table, pinball machines, and not to mention live bands. Above all, the food is delish. read more

Early days.Odd configurations for a place which took three years to put together.Beer garden vibe is destroyed by Pearl Street traffic.Food was okay,but it took forever and the place wasn't busy.Service is an issue.Like I said,early days.Simple issues which can be managed.I'll go back,but want to give them a few months. read more

New spot in town. Super clean, decent food choices (added pic of menu). Looks like they may have live music? Nice bar area, lots of high top tables, touch tunes. I just had some moz sticks and a BLT, both were good and at a decent price. The staff/service was good all of the bartenders were super nice. I recommend. read more

excellent vibe, super fun atmosphere on Tuesdays with trivia by Emilie! a complete coincidence and we loved it great food and weekly deals def a place to check out read more

Always great and fast service, I walk in and the staff always greets me and knows my usual drink!

Didn't have food, but looked great. Had delicious beer and enjoyed our server Chris. We will be back soon to eat!

Expensive small potions. Nothing was terrible but nothing was great. The staff is the same. Nothing terrible but def didn't really seem like they wanted to be there or help people read more

I visited this establishment with several friends. Food is really good, ambiance was good, however, I would have provided a 5 star but our service was not so good. Server only took a few of our orders, we had to keep flagging her down to take the rest of our groups orders which left us all eating at different times. A few times had to go ask another server to help us out. We are an older, non rowdy, group of friends. Other than our service experience it's a great venue to enjoy music, drinks, and dancing. I would recommend and I would go again. read more

I had real High hopes for this place. My first time here and the waitress wasn't very friendly to start and we ordered our food. Chicken wings, plain bacon sandwich , potato skins no tomatoes with ranch (never for ranch and asked for it twice) and a chicken wrap with onion rings. Waitress didn't write it down and came back asking what our order was again (again didn't write anything down). So we're waiting skins came out with tomatoes, wrap came out with tater tots and then the bacon sandwich came out not plain. Sent the sandwich back and it came out wrong, AGAIN! Never saw the original waitress, they never gave us plates for appetizers and didn't give us any silverware until I asked for it. It's a cool looking place but service not so great and food is mediocre at best. read more

Great place to play pool, darts, sing karaoke..etc. But terrible young waitress on Saturday shift who comes thru and takes your partial empty drink glasses w/o asking if you're done or if you want more or even cares to keep track of your needs when you're NOT at the bar!? Such sad service! read more

After reading some of the other reviews on here I'll preface mine with this: It seems some folks maybe didn't get the vibe/ point of this spot. "Music was way too loud"-It's a bar... did you come here to read or meditate? Lol. I LOVE that it's easy-going FUN spot with REAL people who own AND work there and service was AMAZING IMO. So.... To those of you who are capable of "understanding the assignment" ---Great atmosphere with darts, Buck Hunter, billiards, and pinball! We had the pleasure of meeting one of the co-owners--She is amazing! Their beef/ food is sourced from local farms, they offer local brews, Good food, good drinks, and a great outdoor patio!! They even do live music!!! One hundred percent recommend this spot if you're looking for good eats and good people!! read more

Went into this place to try something new and liked the atmosphere, but could not get any service, even though there were multiple employees standing around. Was never greeted by anyone and helped myself to a menu and water. Tried to order at the bar but couldn't get anyone's attention. I guess they don't understand how to serve customers. Ladies at table next to me said it took 40 minutes to get Nachos. I didn't have that much time so I walked out. read more

SUCH an amazing place! Jessica, the owner, is amazing and the rest of the staff was super friendly. We went for drinks on Friday, caught the DJ, and then came back for breakfast! It was DELICIOUS. We will be coming back for sure!!! read more

North End on Pearl - Eggs Benedict - Pool Halls Near Me - Ruston, Washington

the back patio is a really nice area to sit outside and drink or eat. our server was wonderful. I got the buffalo wings & they came smothered in sauce (so good) and my bf got the garlic parm which we were surprised also came as a sauce but he really enjoyed them. we also ordered two side caesar salads which was only lettuce & caesar dressing but they were also really good. we will definitely be back read more

Great new place! Fast, friendly service. Lots of good beer on tap and a full bar. Outdoor seating available for these sunny Tacoma days! Perfect for a bite and a beverage after visiting nearby Point Defiance Park. Oh, family friendly, too! You should check it out! read more

We tried this place for breakfast because we were looking forward to a walkable breakfast place with a good kids menu. It seems like Eggs Benedict is a good indicator on whether a restaurant is worth it's salt. The Benedict had an ok flavor but the Hollondaise was a bit lumpy and congealed and the ham was chunks of ham not a slice. My husbands Denver omelet was "fine". Kids pancakes were enjoyed by one kiddo and the French Toast by another. One thing about restaurants that bugs me as a parent of a picky kid - please describe what you're getting. The French Toast is two small slices of baguette - our kiddo was skeptical. If you have kids, you know it's incredibly helpful to know what's coming on their plate. Half the arcade like games were out of order. The server was nice and attentive. We're really hoping they work out the kinks because so far it was mildly disappointing. read more

Stopped in on a beautiful afternoon for lunch. Music was WAY too loud and the service was horrendous! We were here once before and it was just mediocre bar food. We figured we would give it a second chance. But after waiting way too long for a water and reviewing the overpriced menu. We left. read more

Nice people, Awesome staff, this place is Super clean inside and out. Great bar, Great food AND Great music...

St Patrick's day review: What a great night!!! They had a fantastic band, good drinks and excellent food. What more could you ask for?

Loved it for fish & chips lunch. Looks like a great nite life/ weekend party place! Band stand, dance floor, lots of varied seating, quiet nook for seating, bar, restaurant seating, and lots of parking. We're going back again. A bit pricey but not too bad. And, yummy, fresh, hot food. 5 stars. read more

Such a disappointment. Friends told us about this place so we met another couple there to try it out. We waited in the bar for 20 minutes waiting to order food and drinks. Four employees visited amongst themselves without ever approaching us. They know we were there because they made eye contact with us plus the bar is quite small. Too bad, it's a cute place and the band was setting up which would have been fun. I can't review the food or drinks since we never got any'!! No, the bar was not set up for customers to walk up and order. Go somewhere else, find a place that actually wants your business because we this place clearly does not. read more

They've came full circle the owner and his employees are now working with us to make the team feel better about playing out of this bar it's a fabulous set up for pool league and we enjoy that so glad he was able to make the changes he did the staff we deal with are pretty amazing we appreciate it read more

One of the best bars in Tacoma the staff is amazing Sam lizet and amber keep this place flowing amazing food and karaoke! Good space for pool and a nice clean ambience with lots of seating! read more

Just opened two days ago. Nice place and good customer service. I ordered a burger medium rare, which came out gray inside. Not only that, but the meat had no flavor. For a $16.00 burger I would expect something more. I will try something different, on my next visit, to see if they improve. I have not written this place off, based on one grand opening visit but I had high hopes for them and my first impression was not good. read more

Went for a bite and played some pool. Staff was good. Food was ok. We were able to get a pool table and that was fun. Wanted to play darts, but not enough darts to use the second machine. There was music, not necessarily our type of music, a dj this night, but it was still nice to see. We will go again to check out some of the different music events. read more
