Lady Lucks Cowgirl Up!

If you are looking for a fun night, plenty of options of liquor and beer, and a good lookin' waitress- Lady Lucks is the place for you! About a 4 minute drive down Pacific Avenue from  PLU, Lady Lucks main advertisements are their events and VIP areas. As you walk in the bar, and get by the huge bouncer, you will look to the left and see stools at the bar with stripper poles and a large open area next to the VIP area for dancing and karaoke. To your right is more of a restaurant, sit down bar for more of the relaxing experience.

One of the most unique parts of Lady Lucks is there advertising. SEX SELLS! The first lesson you learn in any marketing class is this very important fact. All the bars we have looked at previously has sold on happy hour and quality beer. Lady Lucks- all about the women! Check out their website and tell me that is not true-http://www.ladyluckscowgirlup.com/index.html. They have their employees mug shots at the bottom of the site as well. They are bragging I know. Kind of reminds me of Hooters, except Lady Lucks also has high quality food! They also discuss this on their website.

On Thursday through Saturday nights, this is the place to be! And believe me, those poles do not go wasted!

From a marketing standpoint, Lady Lucks does a great job attracting men to the bar with their "Cowgirl" reputation and fun environment. Their events and VIP options also keep Lady Lucks a hip place to be for everyone in the Parkland area. They even have Facebook, Myspace, and Twitter accounts that you can check out to see the upcoming events!

IPA'S, PORTERS, AND ALES OH MY!

As you may have figured out I enjoy a good dark beer with some flavor. So I was looking for some places where I had a wide range of options which would allow me to expand on my beer tasting. Tacoma Ale House Pub & Eatery was just the place I was looking for. The Alehouse features 64 beers on tap including several local microbrews, domestics, and imports. As an extension of the Engine House brewery in Puyallup the Alehouse features several brews called the “E9” series.

Environment

The Tacoma Alehouse is located in Fircrest, nestled into a nice neighborhood. It has a friendly atmosphere and is a place where many age groups could have a good time. The Alehouse has electronic darts, long shuffle board, pull tabs, and out door beer garden, party room reservations and oh yeah…. 64 BEERS ON TAP! They have a happy hour with great beer, wine, and spirit prices along with delicious, well portioned food. So feel free to come with your friends, family or co-workers as the Alehouse has something for everyone.

Food and Drinks

Ok, enough with the other stuff, just tell me what a bar should be about, the beer! With over 64 beer s on tap, premium well drinks, and a wide assortment of wine, the Tacoma Ale house will certainly scratch your itch. Daily Happy Hours are from 3-7pm and 10pm-close with other weeknight fun such as quiz night Wednesdays, mondo beer Monday’s and half price wine bottle Wednesday’s. During Happy hour all pints on tap are $3 and the “E9” series only $2.50.

Last Call

Overall, I am going to have a tough time forcing myself to go to another place, as I really enjoyed everything the alehouse has to offer. The only downside is that it’s about a 10 minute drive from PLU’s campus. Other than that, there staff is helpful and friendly and always looking to help you have a good time and relax. Check this place out and you’ll be glad you did.
