The food was much better than I expected for a dark seedie Vegas bar. The salad instead of fries was an amazing choice! The fact that it's not in Vegas makes the atmosphere a great time. Service was exceptional!

Came in for the new “Spring” menu. Me and my partner tried 3 of the cocktails on there and all of them were horrible. The sunny margarita was packed full of sugar and tasted nothing like a margarita. Almost as if a kid designed it ?. There’s a Mocha drink on there that was equally as disgusting. Usually the menu is very well crafted this one was clearly made in haste without any thought. I wouldn’t encourage anyone to waste their money on these. You’ll be better off going to another bar on the Ave for a better priced and better tasting cocktail. Edited for the wonders response. Of course you won’t take responsibility and deflect that’s ok. Next time just do better ?

We had a group of seven and two didn't receive their food; we requested it twice more - the Caesar salad finally arrived but the steak frites never did. Between the manager and server checking (once) on the table we never received an apology or explanation for why our friends food never came. We left early because our friends were hungry and the service was incredibly hard to come by.

Does this look like a strawberry that should go on a $15 drink?! Sad that we had bad service and the food is just okay and the cocktails were not great either. This place could be so cool!!!!! It's pretty inside and unfortunately that's it.

So sad. We were excited to take our friend to this cool retro place in Tacoma. We got there at around 7:00 or so last night. We were seated, and then...completely ignored. The server took orders to the tables around us, cleaned off tables when groups on both sides of us finished and left, but never stopped to take our orders. This is a small place and we were in full view, right across from the bar and bartender. We tried to get eye-contact with the server or bartender several times, but they never looked at us once. The server even spent time restocking glasses on the bar shelves. After maybe 20 minutes, we said, "Nah, let's get out of here. They obviously don't want our business." So we got up to leave, and as we were walking out, the server said,"Thanks for coming in." We talked on our way out, wondering if we didn't meet their standards, but we were three 55-60 year olds, the men dressed in button-down shirts and slacks. I was wearing a black top and black jeans. I'm not sure what their issue was, but I'm sad to say that I'm sure our friend won't be telling others about this place, unless to give a disappointing review.

Came on a Wednesday it started off slow but immediately got full. Food was decent could be better. Miss the old menu. Service tonight was great the best it’s been. She was attentive and friendly and took great care of my party. It’s a small place but worth visiting.

Spoutless free poured a last word that ended up tasting like maraschino. Offstrip Vegas hotel lobby bar vibes.

Speakeasy at its finest! Specialty cocktails, fine food selections, served up by a friendly & knowledgeable staff. The atmosphere is magical Enjoy your next (or 1st) visit to the Boom Boom Room!

Came here for a sweet little date night and we were super impressed by the cocktails. Our server and the bartender were both super sweet and the vibe was so cozy and cool.
Not impressed. The place has a funky, old school feel, but is very tiny with limited space. My wife and I had two drinks each, no food. The bill came to $70.00. I had a margarita that came in a highball glass filled with ice, maybe an ounce of margarita. My wife had two difference special drinks that were very, very small for the price. Nice atmosphere, but expect to be really overcharged for the drinks.

I sat at the bar, and the service was outstanding. The bartenders were super friendly and attentive. The atmosphere is fun, eclectic, and super fun. It also appeared as though the ownership installed acoustic panels along the ceiling, which really tamps down the noise and makes it easy to have a conversation.

This place is my happy space. Amazing cocktails... foods great too, but I like to grab a booth with a friend order some food some drinks and enjoy the low-key vibe, with some sparkle class. Thanks for being my go to place.

So disappointing. Bartenders forgot about our drinks for 20 minutes and didn't even apologize, just said "I don't know what happened". They weren't really dressed for the part, either. Do better.

Bartender choice cocktails are incredibly well made. Food was fantastic. Atmosphere stellar. Happy hour drinks are a great price. Highly recommend this place.
