Their modified grilled cheese sandwiches are amazing. Great atmosphere and service.(And if you have a good nose, you can still smell the waffle cones from a previous tenant)Make sure to put their sister bar "the mule" on your list to visit as well. Easily just as good.

Great cocktails, I love a house made ginger beer, and prices are reasonable! I love the vibe, and straightforward, kind bartenders. I haven't tried the food. Great addition to 6th Ave.

First of all, Zoe is amazing at handling large groups effortlessly and with a great attitude! I asked her for her favorite 'fancy' cocktail, and it did not disappoint. I also was not expecting such good brisket in this bar, but DAMN. All around an great experience.

This place is garbage. Went in with my girlfriend. A patron who was clearly over served was being obnoxiously loud and harassing the bartender without getting kicked out. Didn’t even get kicked out after he fell on me and hit the groundThe menu has cocktail names w prices next to them but that is not the price you will pay. Apparently this bar pours doubles unless you ask for a single. The price next to the drink name is for a single. You’re ripping people off. That’s not how you do business. Waste of time and money.

My partner and I are new to Tacoma and decided to do some bar hopping. We were greeted immediately when we walked in by the gal bartending! It's dimly lit but has these cute lamps on the table. Fun atmosphere and great music (rock mostly). My boyfriend had a beer and I got some of their small batch housemade tonic which was tasty and not too sweet. Definitely have to come here again!

Stoked to see another great option added to 6th Ave. Great lighting, music & laid back vibes. I didn’t try any food, but everything looked and smelled great. Super friendly service with quality cocktails and an option for everyone.Vegetarian options: Vegetarian, Gluten-Free, and Vegan options.

Not a lot of food options, but the other Mule off 56th has better options and nicer atmosphere. Can't beat the simple and flavorful, yet solid drink choices for a reasonable price at either location. Can't be over over stated don't spend more than an easy low key location can provide...
This place was great! Delicious drinks, chill atmosphere, cool decor and amazing bartender. Definitely going back! Check it out!

Glad to see there’s another place in town to get the ginger beer it’s sister bar, the Mule, is famous for. Will definitely be a regular.

One of my best friends and I try and make it out once a month for "mom's night out" and this last time we went to Side Pony per my boyfriend's recommendation. He's a fan of their sister bar, The Mule Tavern, so I thought we'd give it a try! Bottom line is that it's a SUPER cool dive bar with the best vibe and the coolest owner. We intended on only being out for a couple hours and we were here for five... LOL whoops! Bonus points for having a TouchTunes jukebox and also pickle juice for pickle backs. More bonus points for the owner who takes your name instead of your card to keep your tab running. He's a cool guy. I'll definitely be coming back here. A welcomed addition to the Sixth Ave bar scene!
