I've only been twice which is still a bit premature to give out the whopping five stars, but honestly, if you can sit down at a bar and eat a perfectly cooked platter of chicken marsala, I don't think any other course of action is appropriate. The chicken breast was cooked perfectly, tender and juicy, doused in mushrooms and yummy gravy/sauce (slighlty runny but again, flavor was great) and the mashed potatos were delicious as well. Breadstick kinda sucked but who cares, it's a breadstick. Buddy got the chicken bacon ranch melt or something to that effect and it was awesome as well and their french fries could very well be my favorite in the city. Lots of bar seating, tables, a few games in the back... plenty of beer on tap... Oh, and the largest collection of pull tabs you've ever seen in your life (maybe not true but true for me). We'll be back. Many times. read more

Friendly corner bar with friendly staff and great Pizza. Surprisingly broad offering of combinations on a thin crust pie. Great place to catch a game answer a slice! read more

This is my least favorite place to eat in town. The food is awful. The service is awful. I had the fries and chicken tenders; they taste like they are frozen from a grocery store. The cheese was the worst cheese I've ever tasted. I would advise people to steer clear of here; there are much better options. read more

Been going here for years...great little neighborhood dive bar with food that is higher quality then most bars I have been to,great place during game time read more

Best steak real juice and tender the macaroni baked potato really good drinks are really good!!!

Always great service and the best Pub Steak in the land. A must for any game with strong drinks and great food! Always a winning combination! read more

The food was good but the service was very bad. had to get up and go to the bar to get our drinks and when or server finally waited on us she was rude. We won't go back there are better places on 6th ave. read more

All around great lively pub with an awesome pub steak. Nice pours on cocktails. Nothing overly great about the staff but never had shit service. They have a plethora of tvs and pull tabs if that's your thing but all in all this is a solid stop. Kitchen closes at midnight for those with late night munchies ;) read more

Bad sports bar and I've been probably a dozen times, mostly because they have the Big Ten Network, but the service here is AWFUL. You'll routinely see staff just standing around while your drink is empty, or you want to order food. The service is just so bad that it ruins everything else. read more

They save seats for their regulars on football Sunday. Also, breakfast was pretty gross. Tried twice, no dice.

Drink here and go elsewhere for the grub. Not horrible but definitely over priced. Big sandwiches and tatchos were pretty ok.

Lots of tvs for game-watching, great, friendly servers and a prime rib sandwich that changed my life. Will be back!

Great service, great wings, really good burger....lots of TV's with the Cougs on em....I'AM SOLD!

We love this place, usually. But tonight they fell really short. We ordered the pub steak with mac & cheese and house salad (no onions) and the spicy chicken nachos, no onions & no jalapeños. We ordered our food to go and it took about 25-30 mins to get our order. We got home and were totally disappointed. My steak & Mac n cheese was great. The nachos were COVERED in green onions. And my salad was lettuce tomatoes & croutons. Even though I asked if it was similar to a garden salad (had I known it was so boring I would have gotten the garden salad). It's a good thing the request for no onions on the nachos weren't due to an allergy. Tried to call and let them know, no answer. read more

See all

Good drinks. Not bad food. Terrible service. Looked fully staffed but still took long to get service. Watched people who sat after us get food. Had to go get our own waters from the bar. It is a hole in the wall sports bar. Definitely could improve in service area. read more

Love this place. So close to home and they make the BEST pub salad with prime rib and spicy chicken. Yum! One of my favorite go-to places

I attended a little party here with one of the girls and wasn't impressed with much of anything. Starving for a snack, one of the regulars suggested the steak with the blue cheese. It was the happy hour version, so I guess I shouldn't have expected much. It was a new york strip, so I thought it would be okay. It was horrible. It was so tough, I felt like I was gonna end up with carpal tunnel syndrome from trying to cut it. I gave up. I'm giving two stars because the staff was nice and they have plenty of TVs, but if I ever go back to that place, I'll stick to more of the traditional bar food. read more

REUBEN BISH! This place is pretty alright! I dig it. One of the only spots in the area that shows the fights. Thank you West End for supporting my fight addiction. read more

Nachos were ok, it had a lot of nacho cheese (Like the liquid 711 stuff) it was very salty and hard to finish. The wait staff was super nice. Drinks were strong. They had a veggie burger that was great. read more

Food is always on point. Usually service is great, new guy behind bar paid no attention to anyone but his friends at the bar. We had to ask to order and flag him down to pay, when there were two other tables and an additional bartender working. Sucks to have someone so careless waiting on you. read more

Love this place. Ordered a steak and later when I walked by the kitchen the Cook asked me about my steak. He's paying attention. Win.

Totally fun sports bar atmosphere and good bar food. Fun communal tables make for great convo and rivalry for football season. One of the few that carry Big Ten Network so this is a sell for me :) read more

Great local spot with killer food. I've enjoyed everything I have eaten and I have tried most of the menu and their drinks are great at a good price read more

This place has awesome bar food. The burgers are good, but the pub steak is where it's at! This is one of my favorite places to get an afternoon bite to eat and enjoy a bud light! Service is always great. read more

This was our first time here and was a little skeptical because of the reviews; but the service was prompt even at 5 pm. I like prime rib and this has been a great experience. The prime rib was cooked perfect (medium rare) I paired it with a Long Island ice tea loaded potato and veggies of the day. I will definitely recommend this restaurant read more

Great food and strong drinks. Best place by far in Tacoma to watch the Hawks! I ordered the pub steak. Perfection :)

The West End is by far the best place to watch a game at or just catch up with friends. I have been coming here for years and the drinks and service have been consistently amazing! I remember coming here for my 21st birthday when a friendly stranger offered me a shot of peppermint shnapps. I don't recommend doing that. However, the steak is top notch and highly recommended. I can't wait til football season. GO HAWKS! read more

I'm very much a fan of the West End. Part of that has to do with living 8 blocks from there but we'll disregard that for a minute. Plenty of tv's and if you're like me and don't really care for most sports except for football you'll be in luck. There's almost always a football game of some kind on whether it's highlights or whatever the NFL network is playing. It's very laid back, and is the sort of place you can go to hang out and actually have a conversation. I've tried most everything on the menu and a I'm a fan of most of it. If you want to eat mostly healthy, it's possible. If you want to eat pub food that's also definitely an option. That's pretty much it for now. read more

This place has an awesome atmosphere that you can feel comfortable having a few drinks and watching what ever sports game may be on. The pub steak is ridiculously good for the price you pay for it! read more

great place to get a steak and a beer! Baked potato loaded is the way to go, It costs like a dollar extra but is well worth it. Mixed drinks are strong, just how i like them! great food, people and drinks....ill be back for sure! read more

The bartenders are very attentive, the food is EXCELLENT everytime we go, they do UFC fight watching here, they have a million pull tabs. Pretty much, this place is our favorite in Tacoma. read more

I have never had a bad time, bad service or bad food at the west end! It's great place to either watch sports events or just grab an awesome breakfast or dinner(I've never been for lunch) The staff is great with fast & friendly service! read more

First time back here in a long time. Really impressed with the service and the number of TVs since it's football season again! Food portions are huge and food very good. read more

Good food and nice folks! Fish and Chips with Panko batter is so far my favorite at this neighborhood bar and grill. Also gotta love Tots!

They found extra room to get us in for the UFC fight. Even though it was packed the service was good. The sweet potato fries were the best fries I have ever had read more

Great place to watch all sports. Excellent menu selection. Friendly staff. Love the rewards program. It's one of my favorite happy hour dives on the ave. Always air conditioned so it is an excellent place to escape the torturous heat! read more

I began going to the West End Pub & Grill about a two months ago. At first I found the servers and the service to be quite good; so I continued and I left good tips, as is my custom ($4 for a tab of $16 for example). The servers seemed to care if I was there or not for a time... but the last few times I have been in I have learned that when the place starts to fill up with bigger crowds of people (that may or may not ever come again) then the regulars are completely ignored. I sat with an empty bottle tonight for over fifteen minutes while the servers who are so friendly when the place is dead were walking by me again and again without checking. I will not be going back there again..... Tom PS I want to add that MJ, Mark and Ginny do a good job behind the bar. But they need to educate the servers to take care of the regulars or they might lose them all. read more

Love the West End, the food especially the Pub Steak is amazing, I order it probably 4 out of five visits if not more than that. All the other items I've had are very good too. The pub salad is absolutely loaded with prime rib, turkey, chicken, bacon, cheese and veggies, so big, I always take half home. The burgers are great and the ribs are some of the best I've had anywhere. Did I mention the prime rib? The small portion is not small....just fyi. The service is always friendly and attentive too, even when it's very busy which it often is as it's also one of the best sports bar/restaurants around, tv's everywhere. read more

I always order take out here once in a while. Really enjoy the patty melt on the marble rye. Can't force my self to eat something else. Just really enjoy the patty melt. read more

Waitress extremely rude. My friend and I sat down for about five minutes with the intention of spending 3 hrs there to watch the game. We were threatened by waitress to order something within about 10 minutes of being there or she said she planned to kick us out. We left and I went to another restaurant and ordered my lunch there. Was she going to force me to eat for the full three hours of the game? The place wasn't even crowded. I usually order my lunch halfway through the game. I won't be going back. Older lady with short hair. You are extremely rude and need to understand if someone plans to watch the game for three hours, they do not need to be eating for the entire three hours. read more
