This is my fav place of all in Washington hands down. The food is great am#nd easy to eat but local and fresh. But the beer is the best micro brews you can't get anywhere else. #bestbarintheworld

Yes, it's a hot dog joint and mine is the 6th Ave. Strut BUT.... my #1 sandwich there is the Italian beef , dipped & with Giardiniera - YUM!!!GREAT people, ice cold beer , can't beat the Red Hot!

Brent Gatewood

Great spot! Staff is great, food is awesome. This is a “go to” place when in town . Haven’t had a bad dog yet and the tap list is always impressive.

Walker Bohannan

Amazing hot dogs and a great rotating selection of all kinds of beers , plus large TVs/projectors for all the games.

Had the delicious HOSMER HOUND DOG (PB anr Bacon ). Went around 730pm on a Friday and it was standing room only. Staff was very nice.

Monday night is Vinyl Night. Apparently that means they will let you pick records from out of the stacks - boy do I feel overdressed now.

SouthernBeets

Everything is awesome! Try the Hound Dog if you like PB, and wash it down with a nitro coffee root beer .

Q Dot

Nice spot if you're a beer fanatic. Owner is a good guy and friendly . All micro brews with a focus on Washington breweries .

Come here frequently, to enjoy the upper-end of gourmet red-hots then quench your thirst with their selection of fine brews & wine ! Simple, ..but so darned good!!

Tina Pickren

Best Rueben dog ever. Bartenders are super awesome. Atmosphere is cool. Been here multiple times and will continue to come back.

Alley Lowery

Had the 6th ave strut , with grilled onions with a nice side of Rainier. Can't complain ????????

The Space Cowboy is cold brew coffee + draft root beer . You need to put this in your body, trust me.

Every time a Keg goes they change to a new beer - so there's always something new.

Richard Barnhill

The sausages are tasty and the selection of beers is great. The staff are very helpful!

Matt Banks

It's hard to call a hotdog "Gourmet Eating" but TRH pulls it off with absolute style. A "Must Go" place if you're in Tacoma.

Kingston Dillard

The hotdogs and sausages are awesome. Huge variety of beer to wash it down.

Peanut butter and bacon , things I'd never think of as toppings for a hot dog . It was AMAZING!

If you like spicy try the super secret ,not on the menu , "Bianca dog." It hurts so good.

Be sure to order a dog. You can sub a veggie dog on any order. I like the Tideflats

Cajun Dog Unstoppable! Rotating taps always have something interesting.

The staff kicks ass, food is awesome, more brews than anyone could handle!!
