What can I say? Got to be one of my favorite bats in Putallup Wa. Great drinks food, and employees are so attentive. If you haven't been here before, I highly suggest you give them a try. Great vibe, Food and drInks. What else do you need? Only thing we did not like was their Beignet. It wasn't what we thought it was going be. Otherwise everything else was great. Definitely recommend and we will go back!

The holiday cocktails are soooo well-balanced ! festive without being overly sweet honestly some of the yummiest seasonal drinks I've had. Bar bites are perfect for sharing and tasty. The atmosphere is warm, inviting, and makes you want to settle in and stay awhile. Thursdays are fun with karaoke nights, which add just the right amount of energy without taking away from the relaxed vibe. Every server is friendly, welcoming, and genuinely eager to help, which makes the whole place feel even more special. This spot delivers. 10/10 for me

This was so much fun! I hadn't been able to really enjoy the holiday until I went to the Coaster. I loved all the decor from the sleigh in the front to the bathrooms in the back. The art on the wall, the themed drinks, and the amazing staff. The servers were so friendly and kind. The Cindy Lou Moo was so cute! I loved the side cup with marshmallows, spoon and a hersheys kiss. It's a hot chocolate with a nice cool creamy shot of RumChata & Peppermint Schnapps. The mini chicken sliders were crispy and cheesy with a nice tomato sauce. Definitely worth a share. Thank you again! I'll be back

Ohh mama... the Noggy and Nice drink is a fluffy creamy piece of heaven. It has vanilla vodka, amaretto, eggnog, cinnamon and sugar. The minute I tasted this drink, my eyes rolled back into my head - it's that good! The staff is so friendly, attentive, and accommodating They kept checking in to see if we needed anything and struck up friendly conversations. I also ordered the custom grilled cheese sandwich with bacon and peach chutney. Oh stahpppp. It's sweet and salty and can't get enough. Delicious meltiness and perfectly crisped. Served with tomato soup, chips, and a pickle. If I had enough room, I'd order another grilled cheese sando, this time with prosciutto and fig jam. The vibe is festive and fun! They went all out with the decorations and it's definitely a fun place to meet with friends. Come out and experience this place for yourself!

Drinks were so cute and creative! All of their drinks were soooo yummy. Their trivia nights seem like they're very popular but there is outdoor seating that is usually open.

Adorable punch bowl with scuba barbie, rubber ducky and gummy sharks as will as a fishing pole!!

I found my new favorite Washington bar! This is the absolute cutest bar EVER!! Someone tried to tell me it's not that great but I have to strongly disagree with them. I love that it's themed like the puyallup fair and they have adorable photo ops and such fun drinks!!! If you're going with friends, the punch bowl is a must- even the half sized punch bowl for approx $28 is BIG!!! I no longer live in Washington, but every time I visit I'll be coming here to hang out and have drinks !!!

OK, so a friend of mine heard about this place it has straight parking. It's called the coaster and I guess they go above and beyond around the holidays with decor, including specialty drinks for the season we thought there was karaoke so we came for the karaoke but sadly there was no karaoke that night. I was unable to see the food coming out, but I will tell you that the drinks were phenomenal. They had great names. They had great presence. They tasted good and the ambience was great. I really can't wait to go back there again around Christmas time and see how they decorate there as well. Not to mention it was very friendly crowd. All is welcome and people are very helpful with suggestions and the bartender as well A+ five stars.

What an excellent service! I am not alcohol person. The bartender was very attentive and suggested a different drink that suited me. Wow. It was great! Food was OK. There weren't many choices. It's ok. I am sure their sandwiches are good. I didn't want to eat bread that day. Decor and atmosphere are cute and fun! You will have a great group outing at this place. We live far away but definitely will come back. It's in very cute town :) loved the experience here.

I have been in only a couple of times since they opened. I haven't tried their food so I have no comment on that, but in my opinion their drinks are just okay. The most recent time in there, I ordered a mai tai and it came out a weird orange color and tasted like straight orange juice (where's the rum float?!) And had chunks of orange when I would drink it. I see posts all the time about people loving their fair themed drinks, I havent ordered those but maybe that's what I'm missing when I go in there?

Bar seating area and specials menu

When I moved to Puyallup two years ago, I had this place bookmarked cause I loved the fair themed drinks and interior. We never got the chance to go but then I saw that they won Best Cocktails in South Sound Magazine. We got to stop by during the weekend of Washington State Summer Con and they had a flight themed after the convention so I asked my boyfriend if we could go and he was down! As we entered, we loved the decor of place as well as the overall vibes. It felt like going into your own private spot of the fair. The bathroom was also cute with ticket themed outlines, a funny mirror, and being very clean. We seated ourselves and not too long after, a kind waitress came by with a drink menu so I had to ask about the food menu. She let us know that she is revamping their happy hour as we came in on a Sunday which is an all day happy hour. I believe she said it was $5 on cocktails. We decided to stick with the flight as we just ate and my boyfriend had to drive home. My boyfriend really enjoyed the Daryl and Carol the most while I really enjoyed the Cobra Kaitini. I'm sad that the Smashed Brothers was the most meh of the four as that was the one I was looking forward to the most. However, the rest of the flights were lovely and the little stickers we got with our flight was such a nice touch. We even got a whole Bowser sticker sheet! I got the basic grilled cheese combo as I was still feeling peck-ish but was surprised by how much food it was. The tomato soup dip was so good. It reminded me of the tomato soup that came with the ham and cheese sandwich at my elementary school which was what I have been craving. I asked for the dip to go but the waitress just gave me a small to go container for instead so not sure if they charge for that. She also never did come back to check on us so we had to go up to ask for a take out box too. A great experience and I would love to stop by for trivia and other themed flights that are relevant to my interest!

The festive holiday pop-up theme is so fun! In December, they have it decked out with decorations and playful photo op areas to take pictures with your friends or family. It's a great spot to meet up for drinks in the downtown Puyallup area, and parking is pretty easy to find. It's a walk in and up to the counter kind of bar, so find a barrel and stool to stand by or the counter. There isn't too much seating unfortunately, I thought some of the decoration area were taking up seat areas if it were busy, but nonetheless it's a cute aesthetic. They have a regular year round menu and a specialty drinks holiday menu. I ordered the Noggy and Nice which is an adult eggnog basically. It was sweet and festive, but not very strong on the liquor. My husband ordered a Bah Rum Bug and it has a creamy coconut flavor and isn't too sweet. It's over shaved ice and has coconut flakes on top, yum! So I ordered one of those as my second drink. The drinks are definitely fun, festive, and photo op worthy, it makes for a unique experience out with friends or family. But I didn't think the drinks had much alcohol, poured a bit light for a bar in my opinion. It's a perfect spot to meet up with friends to catch up over quick drinks.

blue jean baby and sconed woman
Cori H.

great selection of cocktails, we tried the blue jean baby and the sconed woman. blue jean baby is great for someone who likes a sweeter drink, the sconed woman was a little more liquor forward but had a sweet rim that really balanced it out! cool vibe and friendly service. would definitely go back!

The It Girl
Samantha S.

Did have any food. The drink was the "it Girl" delicious. The mixologist asked me a few questions about what I like in a cocktail and came back with a delicious concoction. I will be back. Oh yes the decoration for Halloween were off the charts. You need to give this place a try.

What a good find! The outside definitely looks a little iffy as it is kind of in a more industrial…read morelooking area, but we are so glad we came and trusted the reviews. First, our server, Zach (unsure of spelling) was wonderful. So friendly and attentive and had good recommendations for what to order. The food was so delicious! My husband also got the elk sliders, but he dug into them before I could get a picture. It was his favorite thing that he ate. The birria flatbread was just ok. We will not be getting it again. The wagyu burger was delicious and the fries were so perfectly crispy. Drinks were wonderful and they have a great full bar selection. I am not typically a carrot cake person because don't like raisins or nuts in my dessert. The flavor was great and the frosting wasn't too sweet. My husband thoroughly enjoyed it, especially with the crispy sugary carrots on top! We will definitely be back!

Definitely unassuming from the outside. We were in town for…read morea graduation. We were recommended this restaurant. Upon parking, I didn't know what to expect. Upon entry, a very inviting restaurant with seating inside and outside. We voted for inside to enjoy our dinner. Service was great. The waiter was very attentive. Minimal guests in the restaurant but still had the workers running. Food was great. The steak was cooked exactly how I like it. And it was so large that I did not expect it for that price. Dessert was one of the best things as well. Clean restaurant, good amount of choices to pick, plenty of seatings, including the bar area. Parking was good as well.

Been here for drinks before COVID and finally made it back for dinner and it absolutely lived up to…read morethe hype! The atmosphere is warm and lively, the location is perfect, and the entire staff made the experience feel elevated without being pretentious. We had a 5:15 dinner reservation and the restaurant was already packed, which honestly says a lot. The staff was incredibly kind and knowledgeable about both the wine list and menu, and every recommendation felt thoughtfully curated. The food was phenomenal. We have the chef special which was a chicken skin dish and the short rib pasta with the added burrata; flavorful, well-balanced, and beautifully presented. You can tell a lot of care goes into every dish. Definitely one of those places that feels just as good for a casual night out as it does for celebrating something special. Already looking forward to coming back.

Happy hour menu now is pretty bleak. My negroni was excellent but the old-fashioned flavor was off and seemed watered down. The bacon wrapped dates had only two dates on a stick for $6! Wish they would at least write quantity (2) on the menu if not give 3-4 as a tapa. They were out of bread buns for the HH burger even though it was 4:30pm and so we got the regular menu potato croquettes instead. They were ok but essentially just 4 giant tater tots for $14. I miss the pickled veggies with pimiento cheese and bread! And their happy hour with pasta used to be the bomb.
