What People Say
Most Liked
Customers rave about the bustling atmosphere and friendly staff; Mel is a crowd favorite and lovingly named 'Mama' by patrons. The Pub's offering of a micro pint at just $6.50 earns major points for affordability. The crispy chicken bacon ranch sandwich and hotty Scotty burger receive high remarks for flavor and quality. Patrons appreciate the lack of air conditioning during warmer months, as it adds to the classic dive bar feel. The selection of dartboards and pool tables gives guests entertainment options, making it a fun spot to gather.
Most Disliked
Some guests note the lack of air conditioning in the summer, which can make the bar feel a bit stuffy. Certain regular patrons may have quirks that can be off-putting, possibly leading to a mixed experience. Limited fryer options mean that traditional fried bar snacks are absent from the menu, which might disappoint some looking for classic pub fare. The space can feel cramped during peak hours, especially on Fridays and Saturdays. Additionally, reservations are recommended during busy times, as the popular venue often reaches capacity quickly.

I followed a bartender from the Browns Point neighborhood, Mel is the best bartender in Pierce County, she has been my bartender for over a decade. Her customers here call her “Mama” The girl truly knows her job and is friendly with everyone, I know her well enough that respect is always first. First time I have ever been here and it truly is a fun environment, the customers are also friendly , nope, no air conditioning, but you can’t beat the prices. $6.50 for a micro pint, that’s unheard of. The food is bar food, no fryer, but they have an oven, Mel made me the best Pub sandwich I have ever had in a dive bar. The girl can cook. If you are in the area, stop by this place. This bar sits right in the path of “Cruise Puyallup” a once a month car show on Meridian.

The staff is great! The supposed usual customers are like any dive bar, unique. 1 customer in particular may be so unique he'd chase people off from returning. The unique guy may be working security or not cause of the shirt he was wearing

I love this little dive bar. I met some of my favorite people here. They are very accommodating and friendly. Angie does a great job sanitizing and keeping up with covid regulations and she makes a mean burger. Definitely try the Hotty Scotty it's delicious along with sweet chili coleslaw, which is to die for. If I lived here this would be my go to bar. Or if you are just looking for a great local place to hang out.

Scotty's has some pretty solid bar food and it's a good place to watch the sports balls be played with. Lexi is by far the best thing about Scotty's though. She's a great bartender, cook and conversationalist.

Awesome little place I've gone to meet up with my dad for a few drinks! Servers/bartenders are on top of it and they take great care of you while you're there! I haven't tried any food yet but when I do I will update on that! 10/10 recommend!
