This place has one of the best DJs I've ever heard. Dj TBone plays a good mix of everything I especially liked his old school music. He had me and my friends dancing the whole night. The drinks are okay it would be nice if they stepped up and had some signature drinks but I would definitely go back. read more

DO NOT tip the DJ. They won't play any of your songs. A friend tipped $20 and I tipped $10 and after hrs there they never played our Bad bunny song. Also this place smells like a port-a-potty. read more

Best club in Tacoma, you get the bar scene and the club in one building. People are always nice, bartenders take good care of you, good chicken strips from what I can remember lol. Gotta check it out if you're into dancing! It's a Gay club but very welcoming to every one read more

Club Silverstone - Watermelon redbull and tequila - Gay Bars Near Me - Tacoma, Washington

A few years ago, a friend of mine was roofied at the bar and followed into the restroom by the person responsible. Thankfully, we were able to intervene and get him out safely. On another visit, I was harassed in the same restroom some dude looked over my shoulder while I was using it, commenting on the size of my person. These kinds of incidents aren't isolated; most people I've talked to who've come here on club nights have shared similarly unpleasant experiences. Alternatively, the karaoke nights are hosted by the vibrant and talented young woman who keeps the room alive. The mixed drinks expectingly pricey but decent. Ultimately, there are better places to spend my time rather than in the long lines of Silverstone; a joint that takes itself too seriously with its cover charge way to absurd for as much debauchery that goes on in there. read more

Review of Club Silverstone - July 2025 I'm writing this as both a warning and a call for accountability. On July 8, 2025, I was physically shoved out of Club Silverstone by the General Manager, Matthew Fields -- even after I calmly asked not to be touched. I had not been formally banned. In fact, I had been allowed into the club on July 4 and 5, with staff scanning my ID and serving me drinks. No one told me otherwise until that night. When I asked why I was being removed, I was told that I had "bad-mouthed" the manager in a private group chat and that he knew I had previously reported him to the Liquor Board -- which I had, months earlier, for failing to protect me after a serious safety incident involving another patron. His response? Retaliation. Instead of handling concerns professionally, I was blamed for what happened to me, told that my assault was my "own fault," and physically removed after daring to report misconduct. That is not safe, not legal, and not okay. This wasn't about club policy. This was personal retaliation. And I now have a police report, a formal complaint with the WSLCB, and a public voice to say: Believe women. Hold power accountable. If you care about safety, respect, and human decency, ask yourself if this is the kind of management you want running a public space. -- LaPorcha C. Williams read more

Club Silverstone - Victim Impact Statement - Gay Bars Near Me - Tacoma, Washington

The bouncer here are so rude every time. they run a scam where you'll be in the bar before 9 and the bartender supposed to give u stamp then he won't And u need a stamp to get a wrist band to get back in basically some BS to charge for a dank ass cover for a dead ass bar!! There's should be no cover for this place tbh and everyone that works here is a rude ass man I come cause it's the ONLY dance bar in tacoma but damn just wish the employees were a little more hospitable. read more

What an amazing time at Club Silverstone! I love the vibe, lgbtq+ friendly, and everyone was there to have a great time! You could feel the love around the room. Big props to the DJ! read more

I used to go here a LOT in my 20s. Tonight was my first time back in like... 8 or 9 years. It has changed so much!!! They got rid of the pool table and a bunch of the seating near the bar. So now there are 2 dance floors and different music at each. We were in the main one for nostalgia sake. The DJ repeated a few songs which felt unnecessary (it's 2024, there are so many good dance songs) but we survived and had a blast. My drink was garbage. And small. Only one had one. There is a new security protocol I don't recall before. It's super serious. But at least we're safe...? Highly recommend if you want to dance the night away in a diverse sea of beautiful humans! read more

There was an issue with cover, after our group came inside before 9 pm they told us to go outside and get a wrist band. When we went in the line they told us we were supposed to go and get a drink at the bar first ? I've been coming here for years and they denied entry to me and 8 of my friends and they were all rude about it. Other than that I enjoy this bar so it's so sad they did that to us. read more

So yes it's a club, so they say... If you're just looking for a place to kick back on a gf nights(not Friday or Saturday) this isn't the place. Their drinks appear to be smaller than most at a hire cost. Not worth the stop, money, but ngl the tunes, at least tonight are better then most read more

Club Silverstone - Appears to be smaller then other bars at a hire price - Gay Bars Near Me - Tacoma, Washington

Tap beer...must have dirty lines...omg its garbage beer....what is going on...dont waste your money..... Bartenders or staff need to keep lines clean.This is a health risk read more

After checking out The Mix for a few beers I ended my night over here at this club and ended up there around like 2000-2100 it wasn't packed for a Friday but I saw it got busier for sure once it hit about 2200. I of course read all these negative reviews about this place just like The Mix but wanted to see for myself. The club itself was pretty big in size I thought compared to the other spot I visited and the DJ was playing good music which I enjoyed. I did see the older bartender people talked about lol again maybe I just got lucky that night with my experience but he was pretty nice but def a slow bartender. They had about 4-5 security guards up at the top of the stairs and they didn't give me any issues but I did get power trip vibes from most of them. You can't F up a draft beer so I can't comment on how they pour drinks but all in all this place seemed like a fun spot to be at if I had a group of people. Def a mixed environment straight/gay etc etc. I would come back again. read more

This place can't figure out its door entry and makes people stand out in the cold. This is not cool. read more

A business should check their sources. Google has their correct address, but Apple Maps does not. when you map it, it's a 14 min walk from the actual location. and don't call when you are lost bc the staff has no clue about location within the city. read more

Gross place would leave zero stars if I could. They charge you $15 just to use an ATM. DO NOT COME HERE. They might charge you for breathing be careful. My friends and I came here but didn't have cash (which they demand) some of our friends decided to go somewhere else so we decided to leave. When we asked to get our I.D.'s back they said and I quote. "That'll be $15.00". Disgusting. Don't come here they prey on people because they need the $$. read more

Bartender was very rude as soon as we walked in. You can tell he was having a bad day. The plus size man was extremely rude for no reason had to walk out right away. read more

Total scam. They list their closing time as 2am. We paid for entry shortly before 130 and they closed as soon as we got in. The manager was completely unapologetic. We paid $45 and received nothing in return. Dont bother coming after midnight. read more

15$ cover charge?'! Go to the mix it's free and the same thing but better. Drinks were forever to get. Got told to go into another line after they took after of the people in front of us. So we waited another 20 min. Dance floor was crowded as usual. If you're a racer get a fan! It's hot AF! Coat check took over 30 min and I death dropped on the floor. So do with that what you will. read more

Boring. It's just not a place to find enjoyment. Same old people. Stuffy. Not friendly

Super fun dancing! Awesome dance floor and great music. There were songs for everyone cause it takes more than 2 to make a thing go ri-hight sometimes. read more

The drinks were good, the people were fun and diverse. The DJ they had on the dance floor could have been better. Though I didn't have any personal issues I did witness the a couple of the security being a bit aggressive and power tripping. Over all though my friends had a fun night. read more

I came on Saturday with a bachelorette party and I dropped my card. It was my first night here out of 10 days from texas so I felt screwed. My banks app was down due to them updating their servers so I could not freeze my card, so I searched everywhere, after about a hour of looking and bothering everyone, taking a flash light to the ground and everything. A bouncer named LJ found it and handed it back to me. Single-handedly writing this review to once again let everyone know he saved my ass. Good club, good people working for them read more

Methinks this place is an overrated slice of nah and "you can't sit with us"... We waited in line for 30 minutes because the place full of basic Becky's with the not that bad, but not good hair was/does get packed... There was a cover charge ($5 to $10) and a lot of too drunk or borderline about to get too sloshed types that got in right away... oh I'm sorry I'm not a size 32 or 4 with killer piercing eyes and the depth of a kiddy pool... but I am a really nice, chill (sometimes sassy from this rant) and patient person... We descend the staircase (huge) into lavish hot messery (underground nuance speakeasy set up)... figure let's get a drink... bartender refused to serve us because we weren't "in a line"... like in what world is a cluster of people at a bar on all sides any kind of line... we figured we paid to get in why not dance at least... so we go to the dance floor... literally labeled dance floor via giant tinted glass door... I can't! We submerge into the smokey den... of at least 100 people all jammed inside around the dj booth danced for 2 songs and had to leave due to a lack of room to move and the humidity building per beat as well as more bodies entering the room. I've never had a more laughable experience and on my birthday... I'm sorry, but next please... the entire staff was rude. Bathrooms cringe worthy... probably because they let so many people in and don't upkeep throughout the night. Great music though... I will say that... but you better pre-game because the Silverstone is very lame-tastic. Don't believe the hype!! read more

If you are into dive bars that are outdated then you have found the place. It is down a,long flight of stairs and the Friday night I went must have been and off night as it was pretty empty. Staff was not friendly and getting a drink from them took lots of,patience on our part. Prices are reasonable for what you get. read more

I love Silverstone! An old friend introduced me to this place a few years ago on my 21st, and it's still the first place to come to mind when I'm ready to go party. I love the environment, the drinks are always delicious, and I haven't met a single person there that wasn't friendly and fun. read more

Club Silverstone - Whiskey Sours w/ Jameson - Gay Bars Near Me - Tacoma, Washington

So my friends and I left Keys on Main because we wanted to get a little ratchet. So one of my friends said trust me I know a place and surly enough he truly did! I Had so much fun also had no clue it was a gay bar till we got into the dancing section. The club is split in to a club and a regular bar. So you can listen to music and still be able to talk where the bar is and they have a pool table and pull tabs. Then you can walk into this door and that's where all the dancing takes place! I was reading on some of the reviews that the drinks were strong. I don't know if it's actually at the bar top that they make the drinks strong or what... but inside the dance section they had a little drink stand where you can buy cocktails and water and all that and I took a couple shot and shared my friends drink and I did not feel tipsy at all! I definitely will be coming back though and bring more friends read more

Club Silverstone - Meet amazing people here - Gay Bars Near Me - Tacoma, Washington

Terrible staff the owner definitely uses pride for profit. The bar and dance floor are super aged it seems really cool and vintage but that changes when it starts to get busy. The food consists of the normal things you can find at a bar if you dare order it from here clam strips dryer that the Sahara, mozzarella sticks without cheese. Really there is no reason to eat any way there's no alcohol in the drinks to soak up read more

I found this place when I moved to Tacoma about 2 years ago. During the day its really mellow with regular LGBT patrons while on Friday and Saturday nights people of many different backgrounds come to have a good time and let loose, especially a lot of the college kids that don't want to drive up to the clubs in Seattle. Out of all the bars I've been to in Tacoma, this is where I have the most fun. It does tend to get crowded on the weekend , probably because there aren't many dance clubs in Tacoma. But if you get there at a decent time you can get in a few drinks (reasonably priced I might add) and find a spot on the dance floor before people start flooding in. Just don't leave your drinks alone or with anyone you don't know, its common sense in any club. Depending on when you show up on the weekend the door charge can be from $5-$10. The door guys and bartenders are typically pretty friendly and on point. Although it is Tacoma so from time to time you see them having to deal with some pretty ratchet or unruly characters. So to make it easier on yourself don't try to act a fool and ruin your night. Its a fun environment and everyone likes to keep it that way! Will definitely continue to come here for the foreseeable future. read more

It was a good time after about 11pm amd on. We got there a bit early but once we were there the crowd started coming. People were really nice and customer service was great. 2 entry's so was great fro top and bottom to get in and out from. read more

if it were possible to leave no stars I would. This place needs to evaluate its staff and security quickly. They are aggressive, rude and combative. It's terrible that this is the behavior of employees and security! Its not the patrons who cause problems, it is 100% the security staff. Will continue to tell everyone about the brutality of their security and staff. read more

I've never in my life written a review for an establishment before. If I could give this place zero stars I would. The service was horrendous, the security and bartenders were rude as hell and would ask someone what they want, make the drink (which took forever,) then went to ask the other person what they want so he could make their drink instead of just asking what everyone in the party wants. Which made the lines take 15 minutes just to get to the bar when they weren't even long. First red flag was that they told my friend that every time she wanted a drink that our whole group (3 people) would have to go to the bar and show our ID's because "the city is watching us closely." Second red flag was that they metal detected us with a wand after we came back in from smoking. I asked him why and he said "because things have happened here before and just want to keep everyone safe." 3rd red flag was they told us the first game of pool was free. But when I asked to get the balls out of the table to bring back to the bar, the security guard said I had to pay to get the balls out. I explained that I was getting the balls to return to the bar because I needed my ID back. He still told me I had to pay to get the balls out in a very condescending tone. We don't carry cash so we had the idea of just adding it to our tab and him giving us the money to get the balls out to bring back. He said he couldn't do that and there's an atm over there. Which mind you has a $3 fee plus a default limit of $20. Avoid at all costs!!! read more

Gays beware: this is not a gay bar anymore. Ordered a gin & tonic which tasted like ranch for some reason. Would not recommend, better off going to the Mix if you're looking for a LGBTQ+ bar read more

I think what I am missing here is the big town weirdness that you get in gay bars. This place was alright. It was hopping and crowded! It seemed more like your small town or college town gay bar which is ok but it was missing a quirkiness. They have a dance floor but it is small and it is easy for it to get overcrowded on a Saturday which might push you back into the main bar room. I love to people watch at gay bars but it just was not the right place. I guess you have to go to Seattle for that. Still it seems to be the best gay bar in town but I have only been to two out of the three here. Two dollar cover on Saturdays. Not sure on Fridays. read more

Lines for drinks are slow but the vibe is always good! Not everyone who goes is lgbtq so quit judging before trying it.

The fact that you have to pay a cover to get into this establishment is insane. The dance floor is very small. The bartenders are incredibly rude and slow. I have never seen bartenders have the luxury of only having to serve people standing in a single line at the bar. That being said, they still don't move with any sense of urgency or care for their job. The DJ was not even worth mentioning. The bar could have just played a pandora station and it probably would have been better, or at least saved them money. The only reasons this place got 2 stars is due to the hotdog stand out front and the fact that they kept the club clean. The bussers/back backs were honestly the only polite staff and they were hustling on the floor. This review is after visiting this club twice. Both times were equally disappointing. I'm not one to write a negative review, but after my second visit, I really stand by saying this should not be on anyone's list of places to visit while in the areas I would not recommend this "club" to anyone. read more

Drink prices are reasonable. The old guy at the door seemed very irritatable. It was definitely a str8 military boy scene kind of night. Lots of the "dude" "bro", overly masculine type. Other than that, it was ok. read more

This bar used to be a fun place to go casual drinking with a nice dancefloor now it's run by this security who are very unprofessional.They so way to much as far as making people remove their glasses for I'd checks full metal detector and pat downs and they go through all bags/wallets.There is a 40 minute wait to get in and that's including re entry.There is a $15 cover charge which is higher then anywhere I've ever been for a small crowded bar with no fans,it's hot in there and YOU ARE NOT ALLOUD TO STAND,if you are standing it's either in line for the bar or the bathroom I was informed by the unprofessional security.I was using the restroom with my partner and finished first to wait for my partner and the security asked me why I was standing and I explained myself for him to ask me if I wanted to wait outside because there's no standing.we pay to get in here. read more

If I could give this club negative stars I would. I can't believe that this is an establishment that is allowed to be open. The bartender is 80+ years old, the rudest man we've ever met, and slow as a turtle. We witnessed him arguing with customers before we even got up to the bar. When he ran my boyfriends card, for some reason, it didn't go through and he made a remark about us not having the money for our tab. What was supposed to be a $20 tab (2 drinks) ended up being an $80 tab after he ran the card four times. The islander security guard proceeded to kick us out for arguing with the bartender, got into my best friends face and started cussing at him. He was harassing us and threatening to assault us. I had to call the police because he followed us all the way down the street. Whatever you do, DO NOT COME HERE. read more

The bar itself was wonderful. Great music. Had fun. The staff was the problem. Door guys were extremely rude and the bartenders were not much better. It's a gay bar- get staff that actually support the gay community. Update- gave this bar another chance last night. Won't be making that mistake again. Walked in around 1:20-1:30 and the door guy said it wasn't even worth going in because we wouldn't get served anyways. We didn't care- we just wanted to listen to music for a few and didn't mind paying a cover for 20 minutes. Went to the bar to see if we could get a drink and the bartender said we could only get shots. What? He then said never mind and poured us beers and shots. It was super confusing. I talked to the manager briefly and just said it's bad business for your door guy to be turning away people especially when we were handing him cash for the cover. Also- if people want drinks- sell them a damn drink. You're a bar. read more

Happened by this place after many years and it's still as fun as ever. Bartender was awesome as was the karaoke. It was a fun, friendly, and inclusive crowd. Went to The Mix right after and thought the bartender was nice the karaoke was about the worst. Go to the Silverstone! read more
