The Loose Wheel Bar and Grill

Had heard about The Loose Wheel from a number of different sources and decided to give them a try.  This is a great example of a semi-divey sports bar.  They have a decent selection of taps (I estimate about 20), and a well-stocked bar.  

They appear to have food/drink specials every night of the week - I was in on a Thursday - Taco Thursday - where they offer .75 tacos or $8.95 taco salad, and I believe $2.00 Tecate cans.  For .75, the tacos were fine.  My wife ordered chicken & jos...  Holy smoke!  They brought out a half chicken (fried), about a pound and a half of jo's, a big biscuit, and about a cup and a half of coleslaw!  This is enough food for three people to split!

Tasty food & good drinks = give it a try!

The food is as plentiful here as the number of HDTVs. It is theoretically impossible to walk out of this place hungry. Plenty of beers on tap and certainly plenty of food options on the menu.
The service is pretty consistently good. (Seek out the server with the UW  Huskies duct taped bill holder).
My only question is why don't they subscribe to Fox soccer channel?!
They actually do have karaoke on weekends which gets tough on the ears.

Best burgers in Tacoma! Come on Tuesday - buy a burger, get the 2nd for $2.00! These burgers are huge and oh so good! You can choose  from fries or tater tots, but we always pay  a little more for the onion rings. Their onion rings are very good here! I haven't really tried much else, but everything else looks and sounds good.

The bar is very good sized with a variety of seating. They have some pool tables and a few arcade time games to play. Lots of tv's from plenty of angles - great place to watch a game!
