Bob's Java Jive

Old neighborhood dive bar with live music. A must stop if you are in Tacoma.

4 stars for an awesome staff who is attentive. It would be two stars for the worst drinks I've had in Tacoma. That being said. Fantastic burger at a reasonable price. Cook mentioned that the griddle wasn't up to hear to provide the sear and was spot with what it was thinking it needed. I'll come back but only buy beers here. Stuck to what's good. I learned my lesson. Great live music. Piano music this night. Burgers might be only on Wednesdays. It's a drive bar that's cleaned up ever so slightly. By divey, I do mean it's very divey with ripped seats and parts if the ceiling slightly discolored. But there's many dollar bills on the ceiling. You get the idea. I've been many times over the years, good shows in the past.

Definetly a dirty dive bar but has its weird charm. Saw this place I think on YouTube a while back and found it on accident. So we had to stop. Definelty will be back just because it's a weird cooky bar with history in Tacoma. If your looking for a super clean nice bar, this is definitely not it. But if you love dive bars, this is a must on your list.

Fun, friendly, eclectic and Karaoke! Had such a great night. Been by this place so many times and assumed it was closed and abandoned. Far from it! I went with a small group on a Tuesday night and we had a blast! Drinks are basic, facilities are a bit primitive at this time but it all just added to the night. We will be back.
