Puyallup River Alehouse

They have original arcade donkey kong, original arcade pac-man, pinball, pool table, beers brewed locally in Puyallup along with a fabulous rotating beer menu of other breweries, an outstanding bartender (who incidentally appears in the documentary Bonus Life Extended Play- out next year & a dang good DK player himself), free popcorn, $3 gourmet dogs, and it's a local small business doing it right... yeah it's good.  They have brewer's nights promoting other  breweries that are a great time.  The staff is by the far the best bar staff around and the clientele are always friendly and social as well.  Even when you head in solo you never have a problem finding conversation.  

... and they have Sarah the Beer Ninja.  Nuff said.

Great, if not BEST, local place for just beer. They recently starting doing food, so I'm sure their customers will hang out longer instead of bailing for their munchies.

Owner is really nice and the entire staff is all about making sure you get the beer you want if you're being brave enough to try something new.

I suggest the sampler and a T-shirt (bought my friend one for his birthday).

2 things: Big Ass TV and old skool arcade games....

Good brew, but no food.  Growler fills are a little steep for the area.  Add food and I would likely come here more.
