Score one for the men in Tacoma and high-five Co-owners Travis Scheff and Matt Henderson for creating a large, public, admission-free man cave. Flat-screen TVs, surround sound, games, trivia night, a digital jukebox, a hot blonde daytime bartender (ahem), killer happy hour prices, good food - they have it all at The Office. I'm sold.

At first glance, The Office seems to be a typical bar - though the menu offerings are definitely a notch up. The interior is comfortable, has sports- and beer-related signs and posters, and varied seating. Over several visits we sampled items recommended by other Volcano writers and friends. Hot wings, ahi tuna crostini, award-wining Bloody Marys, mac and cheese bites, steak frites, Greek salad and fettuccini Alfredo - there's a nice variety. I was afraid the fried mac and cheese appetizer would be of the frozen variety, but these were six jumbo doughnut hole-looking puff balls of straight-up goodness.
