This place is just terrible. Rude service. Went in on a Saturday night just for a few beers with out of town friends and was the worst experience. Bartender carded us - which is the norm - then decided to card my buddy again and got upset after we told him he just carded us. Then, he kicked us out! What in the world? How is this place still getting business? Save your $3.50 and go across the street to odd otter for great service and good beer. read more

No longer worth going. Maybe for Taco Tuesdays where you can grab a quick bite and be in and out. Other than that, service is terrible. Seems like all the good servers just come and go. You come in every other week and theres a new face. Bartender guy just seems frustrated and pissed off most the time. Get yourself some Matador next door! Great service and delicious food. read more

Poor service if you aren't a regular. There were 4 servers working but it still took forever to get served and to get the check.

Two pieces of rubbery roast beef between bread cost $9.99. Truly an exquisite dining experience I shall not soon forget. read more

Meconi's Tacoma Pub - The best French Dip I have ever had the pleasure of experiencing. - American Near Me - Tacoma, Washington

All these people complaining about bar food it's basically the oldest pub in Tacoma - staff is always nice AF , maybe don't give them unwarranted attitude and you won't get put in your place . Always a good experience here - keep it up read more

Sports Bar, yeah... Get it, got it, good. That said it is the spot for real Seahawks fun. Apparently there are other football teams and I hear they'll show their games here too, but who really cares. Bartenders here are fast and know how to pour a good drink. Food hits the spot. The menu certainly has weaknesses but it's a sports bar. Don't like something you order? Grow a pair and tell your server, they'll happily replace it. Sandwiches here are good and the full size ones are enough for three. Pool Table, darts, pin ball, and air hockey in the back. Ask any regular how to unstick the air hockey puck when it happens. Trust me, it's gonna get stuck. The crowd here is your average blue collar tacoma drinkers club of all ages. Expect to make friends. read more

This place is shit. I just walked out after sitting at our table for nearly 15 minutes while the not-that-busy waitress walked by no less than six times. She had plenty of time to show off her tattoos to the cute guys sitting behind us and plenty of time to joke with the other tables, but no time to take orders from customers ready to order beers and food at 6pm. Do yourself a favor and skip this place. read more

Month ago or better a we were a group of (7) heading to the Matador to discover a 1-hr wait. Wandered down to Meconi's to give It a try. Food was surprisingly good & the staff was extremely friendly. Our party had a great time, so we returned again last night. Again, same friendly attitude & good food. This is a great feel good kind of Cheers place. Please keep It to yourself as we are looking forward to making Meconi's our standard go to in Tacoma. read more

NEVER AGAIN!!! One extremely obnoxious customer apparently calls all the shots at this place. My husband and I went to Meconi's on a Sunday afternoon to watch a Seattle Sounders game, have a couple of beers and enjoy a Meconi's sub sandwich. Meconi's website indicated that it was featuring the Sounders playoff game, so we figured it would be a great place to catch the match. We walked in about 20-minutes before game-time, and all TVs had football on them. I asked the bartender if they would be putting on the Sounders game, and she asked who the Sounders were. (She was new to the area, and wasn't familiar with the sports teams yet - but was very nice and wanted to learn!). As I was saying this, a rumble came from the table behind me about changing the channel (on ONE of the 7-8 TVs Meconi's has). Evidently, this couple did not want one single TV changed from football to soccer. I shared with them that even the Meconi's website indicated they'd be featuring the soccer game!!! Their response was that they were going to call Dave, the owner. Trying to ignore them, we sat down in front of one of the smaller TVs, ordered a couple of beers, and settled in to wait to watch the game. At this time, this one grumbling man of the couple who said they were calling Dave walked up to the bar and began to berate and really read this new bartender the riot act!!! This poor girl was being verbally abused by a jerk of a customer over the fate of one television!!! His friend tried to calm him down, and said that she'd call Dave, the owner, to straighten things out. She left, and a moment later the bar phone rang - Dave was evidently on the phone with the bartender. She came and changed our one small TV to the Sounders game, but indicated that she would have to leave the football game on the other TVs and we wouldn't be able to hear the Sounders game - she had been instructed to keep the sound on the football game. NOT ideal considering that Meconi's had ADVERTISED that they would be FEATURING the SOCCER game. We ended up leaving after half a beer, not wanting to try to "enjoy" a soccer game on mute because of a fit thrown by a toxic customer acting like a toddler in his "terrible two's." DAVE - Please respond to this review because the situation escalated with this customer, and I think you should be aware of what he did to us after we left your bar. We have witnesses. I will never return to Meconi's - a place I've enjoyed coming to in the past - for two main reasons: 1. Meconi's falsely advertised featuring a sports event. Staff did not even know who the team was that they were supposed to be featuring. Simple solution, Meconi's - engage with your staff! Help new out-of-area staff understand the sports teams. (Your bartender was EXTREMELY friendly, and wanted to learn who the Sounders were.) If you're going to advertise that you are giving special billing to a featured sporting event, be prepared to DELIVER and SHOW the featured sporting event in a way that customers can see AND HEAR!! 2. Meconi's owner let ONE TOXIC CUSTOMER dictate how he runs the show and treated all of his other customers!!!! For some reason, Dave, the owner, You felt like you needed to placate and kowtow to this one jerk. Dave - if you heard how poorly this customer treated your new bartender, and what he verbally put her through, you would ask this customer not to come back to your bar. I was truly embarrassed for your bartender, who ended up apologizing to us for what happened - when it was NEVER HER FAULT (we told her so!!). read more

Chicken & Swiss burger was very good- of course, if you fried up some onions and put them on anything, I might eat it. I just love food that can be complimented by a bit dollup of mayo...mmmmm. Other than this, the atmosphere is friendly and the staff was attentive. But just average. read more

I went here for the first time yesterday. I've always wanted to try this place out as its in a great location and the atmosphere is nice. However, after yesterday, I won't be coming back as the food is beyond terrible. First - I ordered the beef sliders and fries. The buns on the sliders were cold and they looked more unappetizing than a McDonald's burger. The worst part is after I bit into the burger, I noticed a long piece of hair in my mouth. Actually, before I even ate, I asked the server if I could have ketchup for the sliders. She then pointed to the side of ketchup that came with the fries and said I could use that. Really? Do they not have ketchup bottles here? I then showed my server the long piece of hair and then decided to order something else (bowl of chili with a side of cornbread). The chili tasted like it was from a can and the cornbread? I really don't think it was cornbread but if it was, it looked like it was 3 days old and it had no flavor whatsoever. I was extremely disappointed to say the least. I thought our server would've atleast offered a free dessert or something complimentary due to the hair in my sandwich but that wasn't the case. My friend paid for dinner which was a good thing because had I paid for it, I would've definitely asked to speak with a manager. read more

Food sounds good on menu is shitty drink pour omg not legal barely an inch above rim paid 7 dollars for basically a drop im never coming again ive been before but monitor ur drinks that much fuck u sorry smh read more

I first ordered @the bar open tab with the bartender, then I ordered chicken wings, and I got chicken strips instead, when it came to pay they couldnt figure out the bill, so I showed them my other card for name matchin, instead they charged that card too..and didn't have my first card. they couldn't figure it out for a while, they blame the system, they acted annoyed I was asking for details in my bill. I was annoyed, dissatisfied and disappointed about my whole experience at this place/bar.. Iam definitely no returning neither my family they were with me at the time of disappoinment. If concerns or questions about the review I would gladly answer.... read more

I love coming to Meconi's, always great service and really good drinks and food too! Always stop in if I'm in the area.

I found this place one day when I was originally going to The Matador, but it was crowded so we went here instead. Great atmosphere and the bartender was nice, I didn't eat here though but the people were friendly and it was very chill. read more

One of the top bars that Tacoma has to offer. Staff is always friendly and helpful. Fun game room in the back too.

very solid beer selection, great bar food, and awesome bartenders!! Get out here and have a good time!

delicious fresh food, especially for a bar!! Amazing and personal customer service! Had a blast watching the Seahawks game there, great environment:) Stacy was our server and she was phenomenal! Been stopping in here for years and am never disappointed! Thanks guys! read more

They over charged our tab by two beers, and when we brought up the mistake the blonde "manager" told us she would call the cops on us if we didn't pay for it.. She was completely unprofessional as a manager treating her regular customers like that. A bar tender ended up settling it out with her but I've never experienced service like that downtown here. read more

I love it here, come here often! Great food, ambiance, juke box and games in back! All the staff is great, however wednesday nights isn't my fav. The bartender that night has horrible customer service, never smiles or makes conversation, acts like ordering a drink is an inconvenience to her. Her whole vibe is a turn off, and doesn't make this place feel like the fun neighborhood chill bar it is. Complete opposite than other awesome bartenders here, so we keep coming back on other nights! read more

the service here is sorely lacking. i think there are only 1 or 2 people max working, even at 8pm on a recent friday night when i was there w/a friend. friday night? very crowded... really? we felt ignored the whole time and i was tempted to walk to the bar to order drinks and food each time, but i didn't as that seemed to be a rude move to do the "one" server who was working there. in retrospect, i probably should have just walked to the bar each time... also, please, meconi's, get MORE restrooms. just... yeah. 1 women's bathroom that only 1 person can occupy at any one time is just craziness. on another note, the food is pretty good, and employees are friendly enough... read more

Horrible customer service. Food ok, but they got our order wrong. We were not payed attention to at all. Very dissatisfied overall. Maybe if we were men we would of had better service from the waitresses. read more

Had late lunch at Pacific Ave location. Food mediocre, but not as bad as our server (Megan). Very unfriendly, dropped food off without saying anything, never offered to refill our water or check back on us. Not exactly sure what her problem was, but almost positive it was the color of our skin. read more

Stopped in for lunch, ordered a beer from the big guy behind the bar, had a friendly chat with him about local microbreweries, moved to a table to watch a football game rerun and sat waiting for my burger. And waited, and waited. Finally the surly little waitress noted that the kitchen wasn't cooking my lunch because the ticket machine in the kitchen had run out of paper. OK, I can live with the mistake, but when my burger finally was ready, she delivered it with nothing more than flopping the plate on the table and walking away. I requested my check, and had the cash ready for her when she returned with it. She returned the change, shorted me 25 cents and walked away with the comment "There you go". I can deal with a delay due to a mistake, but I won't accept unfriendly, surly service. No need to return here, the burger just wasn't that good. read more

This is the second time that I have been here for lunch and the second time that there has only been one server on staff. This is the absolute slowest service ever. I have a job to get back to, and Meconi's food is not worth the wait. read more

Not a bad place for lunch downtown. I forgot what I had, but it was decent and came with a salad. The interior of the place was well maintained and had a bunch of historic Tacoma photos. However, it was also modern in that there were plenty of HD TVs on the wall showing the World Cup. read more

Now this is my kinda place. It's got a good tap selection, pool, air hockey, games and a nice atmosphere. The staff is chatty and the patrons are pleasant. Liking their daily special menu and happytizers! read more

Would recommend going at a happy hour. We were a party of four and had a nice table by the window. The place was packed with a few office christmas parties. Despite that, the service was prompt. The food was just regular, nothing special. My husband wasn't a fan of his fish and chips, my burger was a little sad. But the hummus plate was tasty and the beers were priced well. read more

Meconi's is fabulous. Food and service are wonderful. Especially Heaven - she is the best.

I love the sandwiches at other locations and this one is perfect too! Large menu with lots of options. Super fresh tasting ingredients. I can't wait to come back and try a burger! The only negative is their cornbread is super bland. Our waiter is awesome and attentive. read more

I come from all the way across town to come to this place.. And I absolutely love it!!! It has a great atmosphere, you walk in they make you feel at home! Amazing staff and great customers. Drinks and food are also awesome! You really can't go wrong with this place! read more

Was here on a Sunday night with a couple people, had several drinks and food. Our bartender/server was Nathan, and he was great! Super personable, attentive, and made good drinks too. Thanks! read more

I've been coming here for over a year and their addition of the bartender Nathan was key! He is an amazing, attentive, funny, and quick bartender/server. The pizza is the best in town, better than PSP! and they make all their salad dressings from scratch. Love the blue cheese dressing! I have ordered a sub one time and the bread was a little too much, probably will stick with ummmmm everything else on the menu. The happy hour is awesome and get great pours of a great cab for only $3. It is never too crowded and atmosphere is great. I will continue coming back to Meconi's! read more

Meconi's is my go-to spot downtown. Megan is always super nice and Nathan pours strong drinks. Sandwiches are always pretty good and the pizza is cheesy and delicious. Playing pool in the back and watching football on Sunday is always a fail proof plan. read more

Lots of to choose from and AIR HOCKEY!! Plus a pool table and pinball. This place rounds out a night very well!

Came here to hang with my girlfriends on a Friday night. Some dude invited himself to our table and wasn't taking the hint to go away. Sara and her server totally handled it. Nice to know we were taken care of. Thank you ladies! read more

Our go-to place for lunch on workdays! The service is fast and I love the atmosphere. Even went here on a date once and had a blast with some good beer and a game of pool! One thing to take note of: If you plan on getting a sandwich, go half-size. It's like getting a 6-inch. You'll be set! read more

Food was good as was the beer selection. Nothing special about it but the location is convient to work

Meconi's Pub is a stone groove! Always friendly atmosphere with consistently good pub grub! Excellent tap selection with knowledgeable tenders all hours. Nathan is a most excellent host!!! My colleagues and I look forward to stopping by a great local public house in downtown Tacoma! read more

Meconis? Why are your drinks so weak? The service was nice and the chicken strips a win, but oh how I wanted more vodka in my redbull.
