Yelp.com Review - by Derrick R.

4.0 of 5 stars. This is NOT the place to go to meet [classy] chicks, order a margarita, have a sit down meal with your significant other, or watch the game with your buddies. The Java Jive IS the place to see great...

Yelp.com Review - by Meredith S.

5.0 of 5 stars. I love Bob's Java Jive. I considered not putting up this review because I don't want it to be overrun by hipsters and change for the worse, although it would probably be good for business. But their...

Yelp.com Review - by Tom T.

4.0 of 5 stars. Classic Tacoma. Small, cramped and smells horrible.Locals love it. Yes, it's a dive ... in the truest sense.

Yelp.com Review - by Brooke C.

2.0 of 5 stars. Whoever thinks this is a 5 star place to hang out is out of their mind. What was once a very nostalgic stop and fun place to enjoy a pitcher with friends has seriously gone down hill. It has now...

Yelp.com Review - by Erin M.

5.0 of 5 stars. I wish there were more stars to give the Java Jive, eight is appropriate. You won't get a Maker's and 7, you could get a good story or some bad karaoke, or a mediocre bragging right that you got...

Yelp.com Review - by Jennie D.

4.0 of 5 stars. I am going to date myself here, but I remember when they had the monkies living in the walls that the patrons could see through little windows. I always said I would have my wedding reception there....

Yelp.com Review - by Daniel L.

5.0 of 5 stars. Manages to be divey without being skanky. The phrase "ragged glory" comes to mind.I have seen some great, all-too-obscure bands here - it brought out the sweaty best from all of them (I'm thinking of...

coffee

I came across this coffee house that is not far from Lake Washington. It is a nice little coffee shop that is reasonably priced with a variety of different coffees and a nice motif. Great place to take a...

Yelp.com Review - by Meaghan B.

5.0 of 5 stars. Karaoke, beer, once-smoky, pool tables with zero felt left - what more could you ask for?Bob's has a lovely selection of wines, as the bartender told my friend one night "red, white and mer-LOT."This...

Yelp.com Review - by m F.

5.0 of 5 stars. Im pretty biased since Im a known "regular" here. It's had its share of close calls in getting its doors closed for varying reasons. I think that the smoking ban has hurt some businesses more than...

Yelp.com Review - by Jeremy C.

5.0 of 5 stars. Whenever someone mentions Bob's they will inevitably point out one of two things: first, that the building is shaped like a teapot and second that it's a dive. I won't contest the first point.We all...

Get away from the typical crazyness

Me and some friends would hang out here as much as posible when i was stationed in Ft. Lewis. After every field trip or over sees mission it would always be the first place we would go. Very low key, good...

I LOVE Bob's Java Jive!

Hands down, my favorite bar on the entire west coast! It is a dive, unapologetically-and rightfully-so. The food is good, and cheap. Ditto the beer. Crowd is quirky and ecclectic. They show vintage hygene...

It's a giant coffee pot.

If you live in Tacoma and haven't been to the Jive yet, you have to go. A total dive, cheap-cheap beer, there used to be a live monkey there, pictures of River Phoenix, and Keanu Reeves when they where hanging...
