4 stars for atmosphere tonight during Meeker Days. I'd hope though on a normal day I'd get some attention and not have to go begging for a drink and a plate of food....hell for that matter I'd hope on a normal day I'd get served my food in something other then a paper cup! Was here a couple years ago....loved the corned beef n cabbage. And enjoying this shepard's pie (even though it's in a paper cup) The wife had the surf n turf basket and she's grubbing on the chips :-) read more

TK Irish Pub - My cup of shepard's pie and the wife's pub food! - Pubs Near Me - Puyallup, Washington

I have tried 3 times to give this place a chance, but I'm done. There is typically 1 bartender working, which is fine, but her attitude sucks. Tonight the girls working were completely ignoring my friends and I sitting at the bar. We eventually got our order taken because we held up our debit card in the air to flag them down. It was such a weird vibe. We were able to order a round of shots eventually but then it was impossible to order another round because one bartender was on the floor dancing and chatting with patrons and the other continued to ignore most of us at the bar. read more

I'm a huge fan of this place, just the perfect spot for downtown Puyallup. The owners and staff are always very courteous, and always give us their time and attention. I've loved everything I've tried on the menu, Guinness meatballs are great, reubens and Finnians are well made sandwiches, appetizers always make me want more. I stop here at least once a week if I can, and I always bring new clients/old business pals here for lunch. If anything, my only complaint about TK, is their prices for food are TOO CHEAP!! They make high quality food, and everything across the board should be raised at least a dollar, and I have no problem with their liquor prices, but I want these guys to stay in business for the next 30 years of my life... read more

Stopped here on a lazy Saturday for a late lunch/early dinner. I ordered chicken wings and a Bloody Mary and my husband ordered bangers and mash. My Bloody Mary is divine and the wings with Asian chili sauce and bangers and mash are great too. Our waitress, Trish, made the experience however. We'll definitely be back! read more

The service is terribly slow. That sums it up. Be prepared to wait. And wait. And wait. The servers can't bring more than 2 drinks at a time. Maybe because that have two hands. I won't be back. Bumpys whomps a$$ on this place. The only saving feature was the wings. Otherwise it would've been 1 star. read more

One of the best French dips I've had. My dining companion liked her fish and chips as well.

Service is very slow every time. If you like weak drinks and slow service, this is your place . There's 1 person working the entire place every time I'm there. The drinks are weak and food is over priced. i now go to the places around it because there's better ones to choose from ( bumpys, Flanagan's , Scotty's, bourbon street, forum, and Charlie's ) read more

Awful service from one overworked server, which I expected because there was only one server. I did not expect a confrontation with the server badgering me and including some regulars in her rant against me. I hope you like yourself enough to avoid this establishment. read more

The breakfast is amazing we keep coming back cause I love the candied bacon. My boyfriend loves the country fried steak. The mimosas and bloody Mary's are awesome. Later in the day try the fired green beans or Irish nachos. The Rueben is delicious as well. Service is impressive and the waitress is always on point and friendly. read more

Walked up to this place and there was an obnoxious drunk guy drinking beer outside yelling about how someone parked - turned out this guy works there. He proceeded to talk about how people put rat feces in people's food when they customize their orders and about how stupid people from Washington were, while trying to sell people on his stand up comedy skills. Received almost zero service. Disgusting. Hire new people. read more

Trish was and is absolutely amazing! She was flying solo on Saturday during college game day to a packed house and did it all with such professionalism and a constant smile on her face. Food was good and cider was tasty. Well be back. read more

This place has been a favorite for years. Burgers are awesome, fish and chips, and the Shepard pie is amazing! Proper Guinness pours don't suck either. read more

Ate there last night. Jewel? was our waitress. Super friendly, great food Reuben and another cold corned beef sandwich. Good tunes and atmosphere. read more

They've always had great service. The food is hit-or-miss. Atmosphere is OK, but not phenomenal. It's a great place for St. Patty's.

This place is great. They understand tacos, which is worth 4 of the 5 stars I give it. Good prices and a friendly local vibe make it 5.

Actually, the food is good, the drinks are good, and everything should be at a minimum of four stars. However, there is a huge PR problem that is plaguing this otherwise nice spot. Both times I have come here, the same (intoxicated) guy has picked a fight with a member of our party. The PR kiss of death for the TK is that this guy claims to be partial owner of the establishment. Last night, my friend and I came back to our table to find this angry, argumentative man had seated himself there. I remembered him from my only previous trip (see below). He began screaming at my companion, pitched a tantrum, and basically made it impossible to stay at our table, which he was an uninvited guest to, to begin with! Among other insanities, he was yelling "call the cops on me" and generally making a very loud ass of himself. A cringeworthy performance, indeed. The (actual, I think) owner was very nice and comped our drinks, which was appreciated. I am not sure why he puts up with the antics of this individual. We were at the TK a few weeks ago, the first time I had been there, and we were enjoying ourselves, happy that Puyallup had a great new pub. Everything was great until the same drunk guy picked a fight with my boyfriend. That time he was yelling things like "where's your bar" and "where's your quarter million dollars" -- again, death by douchebag, from a PR standpoint. I gave TK a second chance because Puyallup needs a spot like this, and I hoped that what happened with my boyfriend was a fluke. Unbelievably, the belligerent drunk guy yelling at customers has been a consistent feature of my experience there. What a shame. I hope this establishment gets this loose cannon under control, because TK has a lot of potential -- great food (Reuben sliders are amazing), good drinks, everybody else that is affiliated with the place is very professional, friendly, and deserving of better than having their business undermined in this manner. read more

I read through some of the reviews here and fully agree with Sweetie P. This place has a ton of pontential. The food is pretty damn good. The beer selection is respectuf. Service is good. However, the place is turning into a place for drunk A-holes. This last Saturday night, 11-5, another fight broke out. This was after an overserved drunk axx threw up all over the couch then all over the sidewalk. This place has a ton of potential and I very, very much want it to succeed. Hell, its walking distance from my house! But, I'm a 40yo guy who wants to go have a beer and some food w/o an axxhole puking next to me. From what I understand, the staff on Fri and Sat nights are in over their heads trying to keep up with orders etc. The young women aren't really in a position to act as bouncers. Owner(s): here's my suggestion: On Fri and Sat nights, hire an off-duty cop to sit right outside. It will send the message that you're not gonna put up with any sh*t. Of, if you don't wanna do that, hire some muscle headed dude to check ID's and keep order. You should probably hire the cop for a few months and follow that up with the bouncer...forever. If someone comes in there and starts something...BOOT THEM ... FOREVER. If you continue to allow this junk to happen, normal, middle aged people like myself wont come in anymore and you'll be left with the rif raf. Cheers! read more

I walk in the first night of vacation the cook and lead bartender both gave me their names (hugs Ann and jewel!) they have given me areas to drive to and places to see and when I came back Sunday for my last night they got me a sandwich to go before my flight. This place has been my home away from home! If the owner is reading this I know this is a copy and pace but y'all were awesome! read more

Oh, how inconvenient. I LOVED Twisted Kilt. I bought an Amazon Voucher for the place last October, not realizing before I hit 'purchase' that it was a 20 minute drive away from my home in Tacoma. With just a few days before the voucher's expiration, I rounded up a babysitter (as the place is 21+), grabbed my husband and took the scenic route down 72nd street, and found the place. Seriously, we almost didn't go...the few pictures I've seen of it online do not do its charm justice, especially the exterior shots I'd seen. It didn't look welcoming--did we want to make the drive? The drive was so worth it! Parking was a snap, there was seating available even though a baseball game was on, both the bartender and the waitress came out to greet us and told us their favorites on the menu. As far as the place not being "Irish-ey" enough (as a reviewer below said) - I must disagree. It was, in fact, authentically Irish...you know, there weren't a bunch of shamrocks and leprechauns in my face everywhere. Instead, it had the welcoming, easygoing feeling of a true Irish pub. And great food. My husband had the Reuben...which he described as an 'eating adventure.' It was piled ridiculously high with sauerkraut and corned beef, and served on cool swirly green and white bread. I had the Irish Dip...delicious. I want to go back and try the green bean fries. And they offer an Iceberg Wedge salad that I'm definitely going for next time. I noticed the back patio when I was waiting in line for the restroom...the patio was of eclectic decor (patio furniture mixed with what I *think* was a sofa?) and was packed with a group of folks drinking wine and celebrating something or other...they all came out with smiles on their faces. It looks like there is room for a few tables in front of TK too, once the sun comes out. As far as the line for the restroom? There is only one right now, but a sign on a closet opposite the current bathroom promises that another is coming soon...under which someone has hand-written in black pen 'Hurry! We have to pee!' In short, I now see future summer evenings being spent looking for a babysitter so we can visit again...so inconvenient. But I'm so glad. We can't wait to go back! read more

Im not one for faux pubbery, its a bit schmaltzy for my tasted, but this place has a very nice feel. Airy and open and clean and the barkeep was very chatty and nice to me and my wife! We'll be back to try lunch! read more

TK Irish Pub - Pubs Near Me - Puyallup, Washington

FYI For some reason the rollover rating is not working for me at the moment, ans is giving thema 5 stars - I am sure you will figure out that is not the case. I Visited the Twisted Kilt last night, sorely disappointed at the experience after trying several times to find it not packed - hubby got home a little early from work and we hoped it would not be full yet on a Tuesday at 5. It was not crowded at all, but apparently the downtown Puyallup drunk (from the comments before mine it seems he has some investment in the place) already had a head start on the night. The sandwich we had was Ok, but really we did not enjoy it, during our wait the Ahole drunk was looking for trouble, flipping passerby off and running out the door into the street and screaming at an elderly couple to get into the place, then being chased down presumably by the real owner who gives a crap, then smirking between verging on the edge of passing out. No matter how good the food is, or how geat the waitressess are, they are going to have to come to a fast realization NO one wants to eat with one hand in a fist ready to take someone down if needed. I know we wished we had gone to Crockett's, which we had been to three times, in the last 2 weeks, 2x when Twisted Kilt was packed. and we wish had gone last night, it would have been a great evening. Interesting thing is, I stoppped at store store downtown today, got to talking about how nice Puyallup is shaping up, and then I mentioned my experience here, and the owner of the store mentioned she had never been to your place, but that she had heard a lot about a guy who is drunk at that bar......Too sad one idiot is screwing up what could be a good thing. Sounds like total "Mama's boy" behavior, just very sad. read more

My girlfriends and I went in thursday night and had a good meal and good drinks - the service was slow, but there were a lot of people in there. We had a good time. We went in the next night, Friday, a "security" guard, a larger man, roughly asked us for our ID's and then proceeded to tell me mine was fake and he was going to keep it and kick me out. I can understand not wanting to serve minors, and my picture was terrible, but he was RUDE. I went outside and called the cops to come get it, I wanted to prove I was legal, and he started asking everyone standing outside if it was me, he asked to rifle through my wallet to find info (which he didnt trust) and he was just a jerk about it. SO rude. not professional about it at all. When the police came and gave my ID back to me, he never apologized, never looked me in the eye. It was very immature. My friends and I , who loved the place, will never go back because that man was such a jerk. Unfortunate, because we spent good money there. read more

Sad to say one of my favorite places to eat at is lacking the original friendly staff they once held. The owner seems to be a bit put out helping his customers. The wait time to even be acknowledged is unacceptable and he wears no mask when he finally approached your for a drink oder. We finally gave up when he never returned to take a food order and at only 25% capacity seating he was not overwhelmed. Will not be returning. read more

I love the hometown atmosphere here! They have great specials and friendly service. Dropped by for lunch on a Wednesday and had the $5 cheeseburger. Excellent burger served with house-made chips. They used real cheese and included toppings. I'm pretty happy with it! read more

TK has wonderful service plus amazing food. the fish and chips are delicous and the nachos have homemade chips that are just to die for. Being an employee of a downtown puyallup company, its nice to have a reputable authentic bar to enjoy after hours. there is a very sophisticated yet easy going environment that is easy to enjoy and share a few beers with friends over. i definitely would recommend this bar to my clients and friends in the area. as for the people there..a great mix of young and more 'mature' which is a nice change for my husband and i....but it is an irish bar.. you cant expect everyone to have elbows off the table and on their best behavior. shoot, thats any bar. the Twisted Kilt is a very nice bar with a welcoming environment and i enjoy every visit i make! read more

We decided to support our local businesses during the shut down. The food is amazing! My husband ordered the burger with corned beef and sourkrout ..he ate it before I could get a pic. He said it was the best burger he has ever had! The onion rings were delicious as well! I had the burger French dip and pub chips...very good. I can't wait to visit this place in person. Thanks for staying open and thanks to door dash! 5 stars from us! read more

Had a great time at the Twisted Kilt. Went there during the Sounders vs ManU match, loved the environment from the Sounders fans. The food was good, our server (Kathy) was sooo busy, but she did a wonderful job trying to serve us and all the others. I do have to say the seating is very limited. If you live or ever been to Puyallup then you know of Bumpys. The Twisted kilt is about the same size and very similar in it's layout. But It's nice to finally have a nice bar in downtown Puyallup. For years it's only been dive bars. They have a great beer selection. They have anything from Bud Light to Smithwicks. I had Smithwicks for sure. Great Ale and would recommend it to anyone. If your ever in downtown Puyallup shoot on over to the Twisted Kilt, and have a good beer. Oh before I forget...... I saw the owner of the bar there, and I was very impressed with the fact the he was out there with everyone else cleaning up dirty cups, getting food to customers, and not afraid to get a little dirty. Good for him, its rare to see these days, a boss who actually cares that much for his employees and his establishment, and most of all the customer. read more

Yum! We had a Livingsocial voucher to use here, and we were very pleased. We loved our server (younger guy). When I see deals on restaurants I haven't tried, it's nice to have a discount so I can try the place with lowered risk. We'll definitely be back, with or without a coupon. We ordered the Irish nachos to start. Their homemade potato chips with melted cheese, sour cream, green onions, tomatoes, olives, and chicken. Yum! Totally amazing. Duh. What could go wrong with that? We also ordered calamari fries, bangers and mash, and shepherd's pie. All delicious! I would give 5 stars if they made more things from scratch. I was pretty sure the calamari fries were probably ordered from somewhere. No big deal, but making things in house is a way to go above and beyond with me. The next time we're hungry in Puyallup, we'll stop at TK's Irish Pub for some yummy pub food. read more

This is exactly what Puyallup needed. A fantastic Irish pub with all the trimmings. Food is second to none and the service comes with a smile everytime. Awesome selection of brews from across the globe and a good tap too. Decor is great, and location is in the perfectly situated in beautiful downtown Puyallup. (You can leave at night and not get mugged.) Breakfast is also great. Had the Corned beef hash $10 and had to get a to go plate. This is the only breakfast worth reheating. Fantastic! read more

I've been here a few times, but here is the reason I am giving it four stars: THE REUBEN. It's perfect. Like... maybe it exceeds perfect? I don't know. That would be hasty of me. But, I stand behind my review when I tell you that it's the best ever. Also, they have a $10 all you can eat breakfast buffet, and who doesn't love an ALL YOU CAN EAT buffet that includes Lucky Charms?! Yeah, you read that right. Lucky Charms. Magically delicious, for real. Well done, TK. Oh, and their bar stools swivel. I don't know why I love that, but I really and truly do. I'm so glad we took the time to run down for a late breakfast/early lunch on this Saturday morning! read more

5 Stars all the way. Pub Chips were perfect.. not too crisp yet not too soft. The Finnian Sandwich was amazing. Service is great and the atmosphere is fun, laid back and overall great. The owner is engaging which adds a lot to this place. read more

We ended up here last Sunday during a football playoff game. Only about six people there which should have been a sign.... We waited 15 minutes with no evidence of anyone working there. A few minutes later a cook came out of the kitchen to bring a customer some food - dropped it off and went straight back to the kitchen. Waited 5 more minutes - still no sign of anyone else who worked there. We bounced and won't be back. read more

No Covid compliance whatsoever. No masks on any staff or customers. Server chatted up a regular the while time and ignored me.

It's certainly no Doyles but its got Paddy Coynes beat. The meat/potatoe ratio on the Shepards Pie was way off. Too much potatoe. The taste was just OK but it was filling (cuz of the potatoe). Skip the meatballs. Minus 1/2 star b-cuz they were out of Smithwicks (a travesty). The Irish Dip's corned beef was great but it needed a heartier roll. The hoagie roll got soggy in the powdered, tastless Au Jus. Saw a burger come out that looked awesome. I'm kicking my own ass b-cuz the chalkboard said they had 2fer1 burgers at lunch and I had already finished my meal when I saw that burger. read more

DO NOT ORDER UBER EATS FROM HERE. My husband ordered me chicken tenders for dinner. After I got home from work I dug in, I was happy to see there were large condiments with it. I grabbed the ranch and quickly found out it was blue cheese salad dressing. Also, the other condiment we received was not honey mustard. It was honey mustard poppy seed salad dressing. This is the second time we've ordered from here and the first time they didn't get our order right but we thought we'd give it another chance. read more

Alright, alright...So me giving them a 5-star is a BIT early, BUT, from the experience I've had so far, it was great! :) Let me explain: My boyfriend and I went there this past Sunday (07/14) to meet up with a friend of his from work for brunch. They ended up getting a couple of cocktails but because I had a couple of drinks the night before, I didn't have any. I WAS disappointed to hear that they don't serve their regular menu until noon, but although I didn't get it, their breakfast buffet on Sunday looked MIGHTY tasty. The boyfriend was REALLY impressed with the Bloody Mary's - Said it was the best one he's ever had (and he's picky about his Bloody Mary's - And with the Sunday Brunch special, they were only $4 each! By the time we left, regular food was coming out of the kitchen and it looked WONDERFUL and smelled even better - I can't WAIT to try the Reuben here! The bartender was wonderful, the ambience was great, though it DOES look more like a sports bar than an Irish Pub. I can't wait to go back and actually try some drinks and food for myself! I IMAGINE the biggest downfall will be the parking. read more

Good place for variety and decent food. I liked the Irish Nachos. If you're cruising for ass, this is a good place to hit up. I go with my wife, so that's a foregone conclusion for me. All around, this is a good place to go late and close out. read more

They serve BREAKFAST! Holy moly! I had the corn beef hash...ridiculously delicious. Peter had the biscuits and gravy-came with 2 perfectly cooked eggs and 4 pieces of delicious bacon. oh shoot forget to give Jodi a shout out for an amazing bloody Mary and again we had super service. read more

TK Irish Pub - They are strong shoulders fans! - Pubs Near Me - Puyallup, Washington

See all

TKs Irish Pub is a supreme establishment with friendly staff and patrons. On an off night I decided to frequent this establishment and I was immediately greeted Ann, Jewel, and their regular friends. They readily welcomed me into their faction with various libations. This pub is an excellent haunt for those who are drinking alone or whims re seeking the company of easy-going pub patriots. I recommend no this place to those of young age and of old. read more

Awesome service! I had the French dip, my husband the fish and chips, and our friend had the Reuben. All were amazing and our drinks were stellar. All was recommended by the waitress and it didn't disappoint. Thanks for the great service and really enjoyable food. read more
