The Forum - Tacoma

They picked a perfect location for this bar. It's right next to a sports bar, so if you're really just not feeling the rowdiness of sports fans, but your buddies want to go to the local sports bar, you can pop next door to this place. It was so calming and peaceful comparatively. Loved it. If I'm ever in Tacoma again, I'll be back.

I come here often with a co- worker for lunch. Kitchen is a bit slow, food is great though and staff and friendly and easy going. Got a little crush on one of the fellas there, so I keep going in : Great little bar too!

The Forum... by the end of the night, you turned our frown upside down. Please read to the end We were at the Forum prior to an event at the Pantages. The night, number of patrons, etc. conspired again a good evening. I was quite disappointed. I had heard so much about this place to grab a beer and a butger/sandwich/ salad. After arriving almost 90 minutes before the show, we had been served beverages and appetizers. No entrée arrive. The staff apologized and invited us back another time or after the show. When we entered after the show, they were stunned we came back. The service and entrée exceeded our expectations, and with few patrons, the troop was very engaging. We are so glad we let them have a 2nd round because they nailed it. We look forward to going again, and we will be VERY mindful that on show nights, EVERYONE ELSE is going there too!

Great waitstaff but the food is typical, a bit hyped up bar food (to be fair, it’s a bar). Don’t get the tomato soup as it’s way too salty. Tried it once for lunch but likely won’t be going back it’s a decent place but not my cup of tea.

The ambiance is very relaxed with a good variety of drinks available. The bartenders are friendly and the food is delicious. I definitely plan on returning.
