My first visit to this pub was fantastic. The food was great, the drinks were even better, and our…read moreserver was friendly, attentive, and genuinely made us feel welcome. The server, he was one of the reasons I was actually excited to come back. Unfortunately, my second visit was memorable for all the wrong reasons. Before we even sat down, we were greeted by the owner--or, more accurately, acknowledged as an inconvenience. The pub was nearly empty except for one gentleman at the bar, and she seemed far more interested in continuing that conversation than welcoming what appeared to be paying customers. It genuinely felt like interrupting someone's first date. When she finally came over, she somehow managed to be both smiling and incredibly hostile at the same time. It takes a special talent to make an entire group feel uncomfortable while wearing a grin, but she pulled it off flawlessly. The passive-aggressive Olympics would have awarded gold. I have no problem with owners having personality, but treating customers like they're a burden isn't a business model--it's a fast track to empty tables. Add in parking her Jeep in the closest customer spot right in front of the entrance, and it gave off the impression that customer convenience wasn't exactly high on the priority list. If the goal is to use the bar as a personal dating lounge, that's completely fine--but maybe rename it something like F-boy Island, Love Is Blind: Happy Hour Edition, or The Bachelorette Tavern. At least then customers would know what experience they're signing up for. To be fair, the place itself is adorable. It's cozy, unique, and obviously decorated with a lot of love. Between the Christmas lights, faux clouds, flowers, and whimsical touches, it feels less like an Irish pub and more like someone combined Pinterest with a Hallmark movie. Honestly, I'd hire her to decorate a little girl's bedroom in a heartbeat. After reading other reviews, I was disappointed--but not surprised--to see that this doesn't appear to be an isolated experience. It's unfortunate because the food, drinks, and atmosphere have so much potential. A welcoming attitude from the owner would had made all the difference. I'd happily return for the food and the server from my first visit. Returning for the hospitality? That's a much harder sell.

I really wanted to like the Steilacoom Pub, but this visit made some of the problems I've noticed…read morebefore impossible to ignore. I'd give the food about 1/5. The prices feel way too high for what you actually get, and unfortunately, the food left my stomach hurting afterward. The condition of the pub was also disappointing. The bathroom was especially bad--there were no paper towels, no toilet paper, and no soap, and the mirror was dirty. The popcorn-textured walls also really take away from the atmosphere. Throughout the rest of the pub, I noticed flies, and overall the place feels pretty run down. It also seems like the pub can't quite decide what kind of theme or atmosphere it wants to have. The service was probably the biggest issue for me this time. The woman taking our order seemed extremely stressed and was pretty passive-aggressive toward me and my friends, even though there didn't seem to be many customers at the time. One example was when I tried to use a Visa gift card. I told her that I wasn't really sure how to use it, and instead of explaining it, she responded with a mean smile and basically said, "I don't know, you can swipe, tap, or pay with it." It was a small interaction, but the attitude made the experience much more uncomfortable than it needed to be. Overall, I wouldn't recommend the Steilacoom Pub based on this experience. The prices, food, cleanliness, condition of the building, and service all need improvement before I'd consider coming back.

You can leave your tab open, which we almost did just try more food! We got three vegan dishes: the vegan nachos, the vegan Cubano, and the Chef Daddy Mac (vegan). Everything was so good! The nachos were a huge serving. There were two of us, and even though we had two more dishes coming, we still ate almost all of them. My friend got the vegan Cubano. She's not a vegan, and she said she really enjoyed it. She would definitely get it again. I got the Chef Daddy Mac. I ended up only taking a bite because we had eaten so much already I brought it home and it served me two more dinners! And it was delicious. I went to the bar and flagged down one of the bartenders to let them know how much I appreciated that they had a vegan menu at their restaurant. I was so pleased with the food and the thoughtfulness that went into the dishes. It wasn't just food without meat, and it wasn't just regular dishes with a meat alternative. These were crafted vegan dishes that can stand up in any restaurant against any animal-based dish. The atmosphere wasn't my vibe. As a Christian, it felt a little odd to be in that environment. The food was so good, though, I can't wait to come back and try more vegan options on the menu.

Not only was it the unfriendliest service I've EVER had a bar. It was a joke. One of them literally wouldn't even acknowledge we were standing in front of her for two minutes but to top it off as a biracial woman I got intimidating stares from bikers. K.

Racism is alive and well at this establishment, as evidence by the many posters porating black women as "Hoes" When ask for the removal of such offensive material, the owner refused.

I have tried to review this bar three times- small divvy for sure. Could capitalize on being close to the air force base. Little viewable evidence of that- sad. The kicker for me is Trump support.

They have all the Pappy van Winkles as well as most of the Buffalo Trace Antique collection. They only do 2 oz pours (no half pours) but the prices are still more affordable than any other place you'd find on the West Coast. Some downsides is that they don't have glencairn glasses and the place has your typical tavern smells, so you won't get the full isolated whiskey tasting experience. This place is after all a tavern, so most of the focus is on beers and a communal experience. If you're looking to try something rare without wanting to buy the whole bottle though, I think coming here for whiskey is still pretty good.

Then he started adding something from the gun into it. I said mid-shoot,"what is that???"
