Yelp.com Review - by Terri M.

4.0 of 5 stars. This was the second stop of the beer tasting day. Unfortunately, we were still not ready to consume food but the menu and appearance of the food that I saw bears further investigation on my next trip…

Yelp.com Review - by Tim O.

4.0 of 5 stars. Two words: Spar. Chips. They make their GD-delicious 'tater chips and they are friggin' good. Pair that up with their "I really shouldn't be eating this, but I'm going to" onion-y mayo dipping Spar…

1.0 of 5 stars. WTF Spar? Can you get your GD broaster fixed already???!!! Seriously, it's your BEST dish there. I came from freakin' California and ran 3 miles everyday for a week so I could have chicken and Joe's…

Yelp.com Review - by Dana B.

4.0 of 5 stars. A truly historic yet unpredictable experience; The Spar is perhaps the oldest tavern/cafe in Puget Sound. It is resplendent with atmosphere and a view of the bay. There is as well a wonderful clipper…

Yelp.com Review - by Donkey K.

5.0 of 5 stars. This is one of my favorite spots in Tacoma. It was there doing what it does even back when the roads were covered in mud and there were horses dragging carts up and down 30th. Good burgers, good…

Yelp.com Review - by Ian M.

3.0 of 5 stars. I'd never spent much more than a passing moment in Tacoma ("Why would you?" I can hear you say from here, but pish-tosh, no need to be petty) before heading down to The Spar in order to spend some…

3.0 of 5 stars. I thought this place was pretty cool. We came here before Monster Jam for lunch. Scott and I ordered pitchers of Bud Light. The waiter informed us that it is cheaper to just get water. (One reason why…

4.0 of 5 stars. The French Dip made me cry au jus sauce, which kind of defeated the point of me getting it with my sandwich.

Yelp.com Review - by Jen L.

4.0 of 5 stars. An old, unpretentious tavern. Visited by a nice mix of locals and the service is friendly. Go for a beer and the fish and chips. Cafe seating on the side can be quieter (depending on what's going on)…

Yelp.com Review - by Ted P.

4.0 of 5 stars. We've been to The Spar a half-dozen times since we moved here 3 months ago and it's a decent spot to hide-out on a week-night. The beer selection is good, but our server's haven't been on top of what…

Yelp.com Review - by Natalie D.

4.0 of 5 stars. The coffee here was decent, and the food was delicious. I stopped by for lunch, and was very pleased with the menu. I think the best part about this place, though, is that view! Beautiful!

Yelp.com Review - by Caitlin G.

5.0 of 5 stars. The customers consist mainly of locals and people with good taste, so it results in a comfortable setting. The bar is great, though I'm biased by anywhere I can get Mac&Jacks. I always opt for the…

Yelp.com Review - by Allison R. T.

3.0 of 5 stars. Unfortunately, I have been disappointed with the food every time I've been here. However, the staff is friendly, there's a pretty good beer selection, and the view is excellent. Also I keep meaning to…

Yelp.com Review - by S.R. S.

2.0 of 5 stars. A tired old bar redolent of days gone by. It's too "hip" to have ambiance, and too "last year" to have vibe. Coffee is barely adequate; seating and service is not even that. At least the view is…

4.0 of 5 stars. My favorite watering hole when I'm home visiting the fam and catching up with friends from home. It's super chill and a good place to go for a burger, spar chips and a beer. Nothing fancy and not…

4.0 of 5 stars. A great place to come in Old Town for a good cup of coffee or tea. They have a restaurant as well with good food too. The baristas here are pretty cool too. Their fish and chips is some of the best…

5.0 of 5 stars. How I crave the days of living in Tacoma (sort of). If you visit, find Old Town and The Spar which has evolved from a pool shooting tavern to a more sophisticated coffee house attached. Good news…

Yelp.com Review - by Jennifer L.

4.0 of 5 stars. Just got the best soy latte I've had in a long time this morning at The Spar Cafe. Took a bit to find a place to park as Old Town Tacoma is a bit short on parking and the service was a bit curt,…
