Nordstrom opening

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

DIVE IN: Buds Saloon and Steakhouse

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

DIVE IN: Dock Street Landing

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

DIVE IN: Goldfish Tavern

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

Wow’s Etc.

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 like sailors

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,

DIVE IN: North End Tavern

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

DIVE IN: Daves of Milton

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

West End Pub & Grill

I was a little unsure about the West End Pub & Grill being “divey” enough for me, but my cousin Karen loves the ribs, Bandito Betty said it always reminded her of a dive bar, and we were wicked-thirsty for a beer; so off to West End Pub we went. We

DIVE IN: O Malleys Irish Pub

I had been to O’Malley’s a few times in my old Femme Fianna Dockyard Derby Dames days. It was always late at night, dark, crowded, and reeked of beer and sweat. I loved it. The best throw downs, punk bands and bartenders have graced O’Malley’s soil during the after dinner
