#2495 - The Mountain Tavern, Tacoma - 4/4/2014

The Mountain Tavern, Tacoma, WA

The Mountain is an old school, working man's dive that has been here on Pacific Avenue for a long time. Pierce County tax records list this building as having been constructed in 1939. However, city guides show a Mountain Tavern at this address at least as far back as 1935. With the standard Washington suburban bar features -- pulltabs, paraphernalia from the big beer corporations, pool, and characters of virtually all ages, the Mountain serves old school bar food including having Smitty Burgers on the menu for 30 years. I enjoyed chatting with local Rebecca about the bar and neighborhood.
