This was a return trip to tour the remaining diver bars of South Tacoma Way. One of our first stops was Sir C's, where friendly bartender Jesse enthusiastically gave us a tour. I think Jesse's boyfriend's grandfather owns the place, but I may have that messed up. Jesse said it's been around for about 10 years, and was previously Jerry's. It's now a biker friendly bar and from the aroma on the back patio, was ahead of its time in recognizing Washington state initiative I-502. Another classic little dive on this old strip.
Historical notes: City guides do indeed list Jerry's Tavern at this location from the 60s into the 90s. By 1940 it was a tavern named "Squeek's Rondivoo" and by 1960 it was "Ed & Larry's Rendezvous."
