Pole Position Sports Bar

This is about the bar side. The food is good. The drinks are reasonably priced. I like the oversized Jenga and shuffleboard. Just park in a well lit area. Im still looking for the Ruffians who busted the window on my car. Its no fault of the establishment though. And Fellas should check out the bathroom.

First time in here, not impressed… Wait staff knows nothing about beer (but she was honest) definitely smaller than it appears. Doesn’t have the sexy appeal inside as it does from the outside.

We went there for a birthday party and the service was poor and not friendly!
Fish and chips were super greasy and lots of raw dough around fish!
We thought the cute peep hole in the men’s bathroom was the best part! Made us laugh!

Pole Position is a sports bar next door to a ‘gentleman’s club’, which is convenient since Washington State law prohibits the serving of alcohol in establishments that feature nude dancers. I got the distinct impression that many of the servers here also work next door :-)
Lots of TVs, outdoor seating, a pretty decent ‘pub grub’ menu, good selection of beer on tap… all in all an A-​OK kind of place.

Still an awesome place to hang out play some shuffle board or Chill with friends. UFC nights this place has got it down to an art. $ 2 bud lights! Can’t beat that!
I tried the burger dilla tonight. Talk about a quesadilla on steroids! An amazing quesadilla with jalapeños and all the fixings with a juicy burger In the middle. Definitely a first and it was awesome!
Wait staff always on point and happy and a very well run and clean place.

I swing by the pole position frequently as its a good stop after work. since they opened I’ve only had one time where my food wasn’t up to par. Again I swing by at least twice a week. the staff is awesome and it’s one of the most presentable bars in the south end of Tacoma. the happy hour has killer deals and the prices are no different than any other bar around. the bartenders are on top of their game as well as very pleasing to the eyes! Even the guys that work there know what’s up. The food is amazing, especially the pizza and burgers! I would refer any of my friends to try it out for themselves! Don’t let the club next door turn you off. It’s completely separate even though it’s owned by the same company.

I’ve been in here a few times for fight nights. And it has NEVER been a pleasant experience. Seating is limited so you pretty much have to fight for it. The outdoor fire pit table was busted once so one side was low and the other side was scary high, like I’m talking someone could get burned just sitting at the table high. You would think a RESPONSIBLE business would have it off, so nobody got hurt, however when we mentioned it the staff just said they knew and it’s «been like that for a while»…again, are you WAITING for someone to get burned before you turn it off? ?
On another night during dead of winter we managed to get a seat inside, right by the patio door. This dumb waitress is standing there chatting with some friends outside holding the door wide open. When I mentioned it to the manager, he quickly mentioned it to the waitress, who in turn shot me the stink eye, then unwillingly shut the door.
The final straw was when they had a happy hour menu out on the table and we were there early enough for the deals, yet when we tried to order from it the waitress claimed that «happy hour doesn’t apply during a fight»
A) the fight was actually about 2 hours LATER
B) the menu is on the table (I sure didn’t put it there, or snag it from the kitchen like some creep)
C) we had ordered from that menu on a fight night before.
The food I have ordered has been decent at best, but pricey. Drinks are pricey as well and the beer selection is nothing to rave about.
It’s about what you’d expect being a part of the strip club next door.. oh and ladies, in case your man doesn’t tell you and takes a little longer in the bathroom compared to normal.. they have peep holes in the men’s bathroom that play a video loop of women stripping.

GREAT remodel, soild pizza and burgers; bartenders know their trade and even have a few signature drinks. Very good place to watch a game. Personally, I think they need the NHL package, but i’m the minority in the area as far as that goes. Pool tabel and shuffle board available. Service isn’t alwasy the quickest, but after a few trips, I know I’ll be back for more!

Came to check it out, new to the area. Our server was a very nice girl, sorry I don’t remember her name. I had a huney suckle I think, yummy! We also had the pretzels and cheese dip, perfection! She made sure we had everything and even held a conversation even though she was busy. I felt welcome. I wish there was more than one pool table. Other than that no complaints! Will be back!

Great place to watch the game. Food is good but the service is the best. Sophia hooks it up.

Great selection of beer and mixed drinks. Bartenders are way too hot and friendly. Would most differently comeback to see all of them.

The pizza is delicious and they have a lot of good beer available. It is absolutely NOT a strip joint. Nice sports bar, many groups having a good time.

Well today was a sad day since they had maybe three customers and the female bartender was not mentally there. Tried to order the fish and chips but just as I said Fish she screamed as loud as I have ever heard since her friend — a waitress– walked in the door to also come to work. My ears are still ringing several hours later. Then after a loud scream she ran away to give her a big hug. At this point I mentally said — and chips! WHAT HAPPENED. Then she needed to hug her some more and have a chat. Eventually she was ready to take my order. Nice of her to actually come back to me at the bar. The chips came out were soggy — but the coleslaw was awesome. I downed my drink, paid my bill, left the horrible fish and left. With terrible inattentive uncaring service from this female bartender I will think twice before returning. Some time I wonder how they got hired?

Great food, great service! Very nice place even though foxes is next door you honest don’t even notice till you walk out and remember where you are! Sophia is great! The all American burger with chile is AMAZING! Great options and great daily deals! Highly recommended.

Awesome happy hour deals and daily specials. The food will surprise you as it is better than bar grub!!! Love this place! Service is great as well.

The cheeky name and the fact that its attached to a strip club will scare off some folks and thats a shame. Its a sports bar but with the innuendo of «Pole Position», it’ll be misconstrued as sleazy. Allow me to break down its 5 star status.
Star 1 food: high quality ingredients, the specials are not your average bar food. The JoJo’s cut like curly fries are incredible.
Star 2 drinks: free-​poured strong and reasonable. Star 3 service: personable and fast. Star 4 atmosphere: inviting, nothing dive-​y and they got shuffleboard! Star 5 peepholes.
I’m sure it could get scary after 9 – 10 pm on weekends for us less adventurous types. Try them for lunch sometime. You’ll forget that Fox’s is right next door and enjoy some of the best bar food you’ll find anywhere near Parkland/​Spanaway.

Place was amazing. Sophia gave great service. I love how anywhere I look, I can watch all the games. The bar has that man cave feel. Chicken strippers were bomb!

This location has a lot of history to it, mostly not on the good side when it was a strip club, after it was closed down by the City, it sat there empty for about a year and then re-​opened as a sports bar, they have done a real good job at remodeling this place, and the prices of the beer and hard alcohol are on par with what you pay elsewhere.
The service here is pretty good, even when they are real busy, so have no issues coming here for a cold glass of beer :)

Went to the formal opening Sept. 6^th from 5 to about midnight. 6 people in our group. Upon arrival we found every table reserved, which is strange when you are having a public grand opening. Waitress found us a table which was appreciated as one member of our party has MS and need to be seated. Midway through the evening we were moved to another table, then once more shortly after. However we appreciate that they found us tables as the bar was very busy. We had Nachos, Pizza, Hot Wings, and BBQ Wings. Food was fantastic. I cannot praise the wait staff highly enough. They kept our table clean and our glasses full. Drinks were well made and we had a wide variety. The bar, outside seating, and restrooms were clean and well maintained. I was impressed with how quickly the manager and wait staff adjusted to problems as they arose. I can assure you we will go back.

Found this spot by somewhat of an accident as I was trying to head home after working around the area for a bit and I must say the place is a gem. Do not be put off by the strip club next door either the place is a great spot to come in and enjoy a drink accompanied by excellent food options.
Coming back from out of the country and stomach still trying to acclimate I ordered the grilled chicken salad and some potato wedges. Solid choice, chicken was moist and delicious the potato wedges were off the hinges and a honey mustard dip that could be spread on an old shoe insole and it would still hold it’s own. The rest of the menu looked tempting. I think I will try the pizza next time, some folks ordered it a few seats away from me and it stayed on the tray less than 5 minutes because the couple devoured it. That can only mean one thing, they got a cook in the kitchen that’s got some game.
The staff there is great and refreshingly genuine they don’t need to force a smile because the place naturally boasts a comfortable vibe and atmosphere. Plenty of big screens with HD to catch the Mariners or some UFC action for sure. I forgot to mention they have a jalapeño/​habanero hard cider here, I’m a bit of a cider connoisseur and when that cutie mentioned it? I said I must try it… two glasses later my choice is justified. Top 5 for sure. Beers on tap are there for you as well and any other cocktail you are in the mood for, this place will definitely be getting more visits from me.
