On Halloween my boyfriend and I went into the Flying Boots to drop off memorial brochures announcing my fathers death since he sat countless hours here and Im sure spent A LOT of money over the past 5 years. The brochure said, "At the Flying Boots, POT LUCK, on Saturday 15, 2014 WITH my phone number if any questions" My fathers roommate asked if the memorial/pot luck would be okay to have here and she got the okay. Thats when I made the brochures and personally handed them to two girls asking for them to hand them to the right person in which they handed the brochures to the manager who seemed busy and snotty. THE DAY OF the memorial we walked into the Flying Boots with our food and was turned away. The manager claimed she had no idea about the event (Even though she WAS told about it because I was THERE and saw the other bar tender girls talk to her about it) Then she claimed she had NO number to contact me (I explained to her how did you not have a contact number when MY number is on the brochure) Then she claimed she never saw the brochure (BS because AGAIN I saw the girl show her on Halloween night and according to my fathers roommate she asked if it would be okay to hold the event here) Then she claimed she didnt even recognize my father from the pictures in the brochure (OH WAIT, I thought you never saw the brochure) Anyway I told her she should have at least called me but again she claimed she never saw the brochures, with my fathers picture on it, which she saw because she said she didnt recognize him (AND even though he has been coming here for over 5 YEARS) You should really pay more attention to your clients who sit hours at this place and who fork over hundreds of dollars to keep this business running. I was in the bathroom while figuring out what to do and where to go since people where coming from Everett for my fathers memorial. While in the bathroom I over heard the manager talking to some guy about the situation and I heard her say "These people wont make or break me" NICE ONE LADY! You lost the owner of this business A LOT of money that night. You should really watch what you say when you work for someones business especially when theyre still in the place. "These people" happen to have money to pour into businesses such as the Flying Boots. "These people" happen to be employees of Nordstroms, Boeing, The Medical field, Weyerhaeuser, Owner of MANY Tacoma and Lakewood rentals and the owner of their OWN businesses such as my boyfriend, his dad and myself who ALL walked out due to the rudeness and unprofessionalism of the manager. All worked out. Ended up going to our local bar who welcomed us with open arms and we all had a great time.

Highly recommended by a friend I visited tonight. I am very disappointed, in all seriousness I understand boring people but it was more than that. CHAR the bartender was very rude, descending, and negative. I ordered their hot buffalo wings and got some weird citrus wings. Upon clarifying that they were buffalo wings by the server which was not CHAR but another heavy set younger woman, she was very rude and dismissive with me as if I had offended her. She rudely told me they were buffalo wings and asked what was the problem. I asked for a check in which I received. Biggest waste of $58.00 ever. Weak drinks and even worse hot wings. Please dont visit here, CHAR will be sure to make you feel unwelcome at all times. Sucks because I really thought it would be fun lol I know there is a loss of profit because of CHAR THE BAR MANAGER and her attitude. Hopefully owners will at least address her attitude. I have receipts with times of my visit and have no problem speaking with the owners of this establishment, its unfair that you have someone like me from the community that visit and want to be supportive but cant because of poor employee policies/practices. I opened a tab and didnt even receive a itemized receipt. What a joke, take a note from the businesses that are producing two and three times your gross annual income, they provide itemized receipts and have superb customer service. Im just so disgusted with the level of disrespect. Its no joke, I wish there was a cooperate complaint number available. Glad your content withyour minimal profits this year. With good people and better food you couple triple your gross, think about it. PLEASE DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY, the reviews on here are very untrue. Its Saturday night and this is how Im being treated. Wow, proud owners you must be

I set out to let my hair down belt a few, after stopping in on my birthday. The Karaoke host had been phenomenal! Clearly, the BEST THING this ESTABLISHMENT has going...AND SHE ISNT AN EMPLOYEE! I IGNORED THE HUGE RED FLAG when I called to verify Karaoke. WOW. PROBABLY THE WORSE POSSIBLE PERSON TO SPEAK TO ABOUT ANYTHING! RUDE. CONDESCENDING. EXCUSE ME. AM I INTERRUPTING YOUR EVENING BY WANTING TO SPEND MY MONEY AT YOUR PLACE? Should have LISTENED TO THE CAB DRIVER...AND MY GUT. ARRIVED. Busy... (if you count the bar being nearly full as busy) and hungry. I sat down. Karaoke host recognized me. We chatted while my date went to order drinks. A group of 6 came in, as well as a couple stragglers. An obvious line now to the bar. Two people serving. My table was filthy. I walked up, attempting to catch the bartender between drinks to ask for a BAR TOWEL...POLITELY. BAD MOVE. CHAR...UGH. WHAT CAN I SAY? She isnt giving CUSTOMERS GOOD SERVICE...MUST BE GIVING THE OWNER.... SHE POINTED AT THE FEW PEOPLE (4) STANDING ON LINE AND SAID, "YOU SEE THESE PEOPLE WAITING IN LINE??? WHEN IM DONE WITH THEM, THEN ITS YOUR TURN!!!!! FOR A FU##ING BAR RAG...TO CLEAN YOUR TABLE??? Yeah. I WAS NEVER SO OVERJOYED WHEN MY DATE CAME BACK SAYING THE BARTENDER WAS HELPING/SERVING HER FRIENDS, OR REGULARS AND IGNORED HIM. QUICK CALL TO OUR FAVORITE CABBIE AND POOF! Though to credit the Karaoke host, did EVERYTHING BUT BUY A DRINK (or CLEAN the nasty table) to get us to stay. I LOVE DIVE BARS. STIFF DRINKS. (WOULDNT KNOW) INTERESTING PEOPLE (SMOKERS STANDING IN FRONT OF THE ENTRANCE, PUFFING AWAY) USUALLY THE COMBINATION FOR TOO MUCH FUN! NOT HERE. Oh. My date is an amputee. In a walker. Had to STAND BY WHILE HE USED THE LADIES BATHROOM. NO WHEELCHAIR ACCESS. BOOOOOOO!

What makes a dive bar and/or hole in the wall truly special goes well beyond its location. It starts with a staff and customer base that shoots you that first look upon entry...you know...the facial expression that says, "why the hell did you come in here pal?" You had me at hell...This Jersey guy not only appreciates but welcomes lukewarm sneers disguised behind smiles. Next step to achieving a place in the pantheon of dive barness is food. 2 words for all you outsiders...chicken wings...2 more...jammin jerk. Enough said. Lastly, the music. I am partial to 80s but listen to everything so either they knew I was coming or they are as cool as I am. Bonus for Karaoke option Wed through Sun. If you havent come over to the Lincoln District in awhile or ever then do it soon and if you are unsure of the staff and regular patrons just give em that million dollar masked smile and know you will be accepted into the fold. Just dont wear a t-shirt that says Jersey on it....

Okay, this is not a place to go if you are skidish, this is a place to go if you like good burgers good beers and friendly company! The burger was excellent and the music was dance worthy! Good bar for a lot of friends to celebrate on, and I believe there are performances there from time to time. Looking forward to my next meal there, and as Im not a drinker Ill enjoy another homemade ginger ale (not fancy.) Casual friendly, a little rustic.
