McMenamin's in Tacoma, WA - General Tiki

The staff in the Portland ones have always been nice. McMenamins beer is good (I brought a growler of one summer brew back from Portland years ago and my friend Sparky still goes on about it) and McMenamins Penney's Gin is good, too. McMenamins took over the Spar in Olympia and you'd never guess it was part of a chain. I heard about the Tacoma Elks lodge deal a while back but nothing about a Tiki bar. A Tiki bar doesn't seem like a typical McMenamins establishment, they tend to be more like neighborhood joints. I would guess if they're doing a Tiki bar it wouldn't be a Tiki Bob's type mess. It could be really swell. Tacoma Elks Lodge
