Let's be honest: Lakewood doesn't really cut the mustard when it comes to raging party palaces. But a mellow spot to soak up your sorrows? Lakewood has more than its share. Thursday is Thirst Thursday at Lakewood Pub and Grill. That means $1 domest beers and pizza slices from 3-6 p.m. Because everybody knows pizza and beer go a long way toward soaking up those sorrows.

Lakewood Pub and Grill, 3-6 p.m. Thursday, 7505 Steilacoom Blvd. SW, Lakewood, 253.582.9195
