I was roofied by the bar tenders, and when I brought it to the attention of Dave the bartender I was laughed at, assaulted severely several times. I tried to get the Ruston/Tacoma WA police involved and nothing was done about it. I will never go there again & Karma will catch up to them because they probably roofied her as well.

Incredibly fun place. Great neighborhood dive bar with some of the best bartenders. The pool tables are usually pretty easy to get on too.

I love a good dive bar but this location is a hard pass. It probably fits a niche in the neighborhood (maybe) but not a destination dive. Immediately upon entering you are smacked with the smell of stale smoke which had been baked into the walls and ceilings from generations of previous smokers. Cigarette smoke freely enters from the patio - no 25 foot distance here. Standard selection of liquor but don't expect anything unique in terms of drinks. Well prices $7. For dive bars I would recommend Terrys or the bar at Knapps.

North End bar off of Pearl, is a far, far, better place to go. Pool tables, live music! Games, fun, lively…Tons of parking, great location! Check out NORTH END bar! Oh, it’s also clean ? ?not. Wouldn’t eat or use there restrooms. It’s pretty dirty.

My mother, Louise Foster, was a beautiful lady and a fantastic mother, and I have many happy memories of her here. I used to enjoy this place when they had a lot of pool tables, and I can't believe they still had money for the machines.
Great dive bar in my neighborhood, so if I need to hoof it home after cocktails, it's all good. The bartender was friendly, great view from the barstool of Commencement bay.

The lady at the counter did not acknowledge what we were saying to her and was pretty rude with any responses. This bar could be a cool dive bar, but the service was just rude on a Sunday afternoon when there were only a couple other customers there.

Went in today (middle of the day..Sunday afternoon) and it was very quiet and there were only two other patrons having a drink. My partner and I and our friends who are another couple walk in and say Hello and proceed to start ordering and the woman behind the counter barely said Hello back to us and also immediately asked to see our ID but in a very rude manner. We all give our identification and then I asked for some white wine and she ignored me and asked what my partner wanted, poured his beer, then moved on to our other friend, completely ignoring me!! I started to chuckle with my partner because it was very awkward and she was making it a point to ignore me so she then poured my glass of wine finally. Our friend asked if it was okay if we could take our glasses outside on the patio (which we assumed was okay but our friend just wanted to ask) and again just completely ignored us which was very awkward and made us chuckle even more at the bad service! Once we were done with our drinks we started to leave and one of us said "Thank you" as we were walking out the door and she again didn't even look at us! I just don't understand the negative attitude when all she had to do was pour the drinks and then she could go back to being on her phone! She seemed annoyed when we walked in and I'm guessing it's because we interrupted her scrolling she was doing on her phone!

The unicorn is exactly what you would expect out of a neighborhood bar. Stiff drinks and great conversation... What else do you need?

Not a bad little dive bar. Convo with the bartenders was good. Cig smoke blowing in from patio was not. $9 dollar glass of Jamo was not. I didn't ask for a double and still not sure if thats what i received but didn't look like it or feel like it. If it was a double, then it was a fair deal but asked simply for a Jamo with ice. Place was relatively clean and not a lot of patrons when we arrived. Service was good! May stop in again next time. Will ask about the $9 drink.
