The Coaster — Restaurant in Puyallup

When I moved to Puyallup two years ago, I had this place bookmarked cause I loved the fair themed drinks and interior. We never got the chance to go but then I saw that they won Best Cocktails in South Sound Magazine. We got to stop by during the weekend of Washington State Summer Con and they had a flight themed after the convention so I asked my boyfriend if we could go and he was down! As we entered, we loved the decor of place as well as the overall vibes. It felt like going into your own private spot of the fair. The bathroom was also cute with ticket themed outlines, a funny mirror, and being very clean.

We seated ourselves and not too long after, a kind waitress came by with a drink menu so I had to ask about the food menu. She let us know that she is revamping their happy hour as we came in on a Sunday which is an all day happy hour. I believe she said it was $5 on cocktails. We decided to stick with the flight as we just ate and my boyfriend had to drive home. My boyfriend really enjoyed the Daryl and Carol the most while I really enjoyed the Cobra Kaitini. I'm sad that the Smashed Brothers was the most meh of the four as that was the one I was looking forward to the most. However, the rest of the flights were lovely and the little stickers we got with our flight was such a nice touch. We even got a whole Bowser sticker sheet! I got the basic grilled cheese combo as I was still feeling peck-ish but was surprised by how much food it was. The tomato soup dip was so good. It reminded me of the tomato soup that came with the ham and cheese sandwich at my elementary school which was what I have been craving. I asked for the dip to go but the waitress just gave me a small to go container for instead so not sure if they charge for that. She also never did come back to check on us so we had to go up to ask for a take out box too.

A great experience and I would love to stop by for trivia and other themed flights that are relevant to...

Cute little bar in downtown Puyallup. Drink prices seemed a little high, but I suppose that's really actually average and to be expected for the area and times. The menu was pretty small. Good selection of draft beers. A lot of cocktails. I tried two different old fashions, both were good. Had the jalapeno dip - the dip itself was fine, but don't know that it was really balanced. I liked that it had a few different things to dip. The build-your-own-grilled cheese was a hit. I guess the price was okay for what it was. I wish they had fries as the side or tots as an upgraded side or something more hearty than the chips, although the chips were good and it was a good portion overall for the price. I wish the menu had more snacks or small plates or cheaper sides since the entree items were so limited. There was a place in the back with self serve water and popcorn which is always a nice touch. Cute decor that fit the theme....

Great little place with a fun eclectic collection of Puyallup Fair memorabilia. The owners Rachel and Karen are very friendly and love to talk about how they came about making this neat little spot in downtown Puyallup and they are the only two workers in this neat little establishment. And don't worry they seem to be able to keep up with a busy Saturday night crowd single handedly slinging out specialty drinks and beers. This little bar is a great place if you're looking for a little fun and something different to try. Fyi... We did not try the food but there are several bites to order...
