I think it’s safe to say that any dining establishment who ends their name with “and Lounge” should be investigated as a dive bar candidate. A’s Place Restaurant and Lounge in Milton was just begging us to stop in, with a name like that. And yes, I was in Milton

I know, I know, there are at least 765 million hairdressers, teriyaki joints and manicure places in and around South Puget Sound. When half of these haidressers are located in Tacoma, you might wonder why in the hell would I choose to pick on little ol’ Karen O’Donnell instead of

The original projected opening date of the new Tacoma Mall Nordstrom is expected to be Oct. 3, 2008 at 10 a.m. As I'm typically a supporter of small locally owned businesses, there's no denying my intense love for Nordstrom as well. The service is unbeatable, and the attention to fitting detail

Sometime after an obnoxiously glutinous dinner at Pacific Grill and some Chocolate Cake shots at Puget Sound Pizza, Carmen and The KAke wussed out while new friend Ginger Knoxx convinced me it’d be a smart idea to close down a local dive bar. So off to the Western R on

I had been dying to go into Bud’s of Milton for many years, and today I finally got my chance. Bartender Trish was one of the nicest and most personable bartenders I’ve ever seen in action. She knew everyone in there by name (I think half of them were Bud’s employees

The sun is finally out, and I’ll be damned if I’m going to hole up in some dark and lonely dive bar again. Of the limited waterfront bar options, I chose Dock Street Landing as this week’s victim of Bar Exam torture. Otherwise known as “The Dock,” this place holds a

Yes, the Goldfish Tavern is a dive. I’ll cut right to the chase on this one. I think all dive bar fanatics are well aware of this. But the ambiance inside this local fish-themed tavern gives off a sensation of actually sipping cold brews on a beach. It’s not the

Besides being well known for grilling up some morning-time greasy unborn chicken fetuses, WOW’s has one of the best happy hours I’ve ever seen. It also has one of the best nicknames for happy hour I’ve ever seen: “Lush Rush.” Oh, hell yeah. $2 wells and $2 cans from 4-6

I don’t care what my husband says; I’m finally going to cross off one item on my bucket list: I’m going to take home a sailor. Not only am I going to take this sailor home with me, but also I’m going to introduce him to my husband, cook for him,

When I say to you “Tacoma’s North End,” you probably think of cute boutiques, homegrown restaurants, and landscaped turn-of-the-century homes. Right? Maybe throw a little Blue Mouse theater and Metro Market in there (it’s still Queen Anne to me and always will be), and you have the Proctor District. Of

Nothing beats a rough afternoon of swingin’ at Milton’s Kemper Park then a quick trip to the Hide-A-Way Room at Dave’s of Milton. Dive bar veterans unite! The Hide-A-Way Room is a genuine find, and well worth the trip up I-5. The servers are like family as they mingle around the
