The Spar - Tacoma (WA)

5 /5 Zach Pickard: Fish and chips was pretty good, not the best but good enough Id buy again. Moscow mule was good. Credit card fee added if using card

5 /5 paul bryant: Great food in a welcoming historic location. Great history in the place and amazing crisps. I had the fishwich which was huge and so delicious. Great local beers and locally sourced dishes.

5 /5 jenn bird: This place is AMAZING! I come here every time I’m in town. My mom’s husband is a regular. I was just there about a week ago and had a burger, hands down one of the BEST burgers I’ve ever had! No joke. The condiment distribution, pickles, chips, and everything else were spot on. I also requested a gluten-free bun, and shockingly, it was amazing! The vibe of the place is incredible, super old school, quaint, and inviting. The room feels both intimate and open, and the exposed brick gives it an authentic historic charm. You can really feel the history here, from the countless good times shared to the energy of real people enjoying themselves. The live music just elevates the whole experience! This is a must-stop if you’re staying in or just passing through Tacoma.

2 /5 Catherine Goeddey: Beautiful space, probably the best clam chowder Ive ever had but it could not make up for the absolutely abysmal service we had. We went during lunch and it wasnt particularly busy but even after making the briefest eye contact with the server, she always immediately turned away and never came. Another lady came and asked if our server was getting us another round and we said "I wish! but she hasnt come by" after 2 hours, I finally just went to the bar to pay the tab. I wish the service was better but I can get just as terrible service in my own neighborhood so I wont be travelling there for it.

4 /5 Jeff Meyer: Always cool space to grab a drink and some food. Came here for a later lunch and it took awhile to get served. The waitress was very nice, but seemed to be the only one for the whole place, which was too few. The fried cheese curds are highly recommended, but would probably go better with ranch vs the marinara it came with. My tuna melt was ok, but the tuna salad inside still seemed kind of cold. Good tap beer selection. Nice view overlooking bay.
