Me and a couple of girlfriends just left The Frontier Room seconds ago. Weve been there a few times before, usually for their $1 tacos and $2 margaritas after a long hard day of work. Normally wed get Johnny as our bartender, but tonight it was a dark haired, tattooed bartender named Amber. When Amber brought us our food, the tacos werent marked as chicken or beef so my friends and I were trying to figure out whos tacos were whos. Apparently this angered Amber the bartender, she threw my order at me on the table so hard that my taco dressings fell out. She then yelled at us in front of other patrons for us to order from the bar next time instead of sitting at the table. I told her I didnt know about that rule so Amber proceeded to humiliate me and my friends by pointing towards the big arrows sign saying where to order. She turned around and started laughing with another older man about how dumb we were. I was so upset at this point, I had to step outside for fresh air. While doing so, I saw another business owner across the street from the Frontier Room, went and told her what had just happened and she provided me with the owners name as Neil Harris. This sweet gal also stated that she knew Amber the bartender to be uppity and rude and a girl that that thinks shes above others. I thanked the other business owner and went back in to the Frontuer Room. As I walked back in, I can see and hear Amber talking to the same man about how stupid we were and that we couldnt read and that it was all hilarious to her. I told her she was completely unprofessional and that My friends and I would never set foot in The Frontier Room ever again. Amber was very pleased with this and made it clear it was good riddance. I saw Johnny sitting at the bar and asked him to step outside so I could tell him what just happened. Johnny was apologetic but he was hesitant to give out his managers name and phone number as to not get Amber in trouble. I kept asking for a phone number to file a complaint and Johnny did not provide it. He instead asked me to leave my phone number and someone would call me back whenever. My girlfriends and I would never set foot in this place ever again. Unless you are looking to be disrespected, humiliated and yelled at, then I strongly suggest everyone else stay away from The Frontier Room as well. They hire TRASH without people skills such as Amber who probably didnt make it past 8th grade. I would never put another woman or human being down, but tonight was such a nightmare that I truly am ashamed that this place of business employs people like this girl.

I went out to The New Frontier Lounge in Tacoma on Saturday night to see a buddy play and ordered a few drinks and a small meal, but I forgot to leave a tip. So today Im looking at my online banking and noticed that they had charged me and extra $60! I called them and they said that when they did the receipts at the end of the night they must have added a 0 onto the $6 tip they added, which may I add is more than a 22% tip, and that I have to come down there to get reimbursed for it. Well to go down there would cost me more than that ($6 tip) I "left," them. DO NOT GO TO THIS PLACE UNLESS YOU WANT THEM TO STEAL FROM YOU!!!

I love this bar. I wish the owner put a little more effort into getting a better sound system, and having a talent booker that actually responds in a timely fashion would be nice. That said this is absolutely my favorite bar, Ive played so many cool shows and hung out and sung karaoke with the coolest weirdos of Tacoma. And remember to tip your bartenders, they definitely arent being paid enough!

Awesome karaoke sound system. Even if you sick you sound really professional. Not ment people come here though. Went on wed. & merry a young heroin meth junkie walking yup to ask my friend for a cigarette, then comes a man on a bike to chit chat, of its dead like it was wed. The bartender closes up early, it was open Mic. With no audience. Usually theres about 30 people there during karaoke

I really love the environment! I am 52 and The Frontier has plenty of 52 year olds in it. Great place to have a beer or drink with your sweetheart without all the hoopla of drunken morons standing on your toes. Brooke, the bartender, has some choice tunes. Choice!!!

Relaxed atmosphere and great bluegrass on Sundays. Stellar drink prices- on par with the Top of Tacoma, but its far less crowded. Typical bar food. Happy hour from 3-8pm Tues-Sat, all day Sun/Mon.

Nice room. Sound is decent, drinks are good and not overly expensive, and since its in a pretty empty area of the city, there is always a place to park nearby. I love going to shows here.

Tamera Nuxoll

Always a great atmosphere, fantastic food, awesome employees (Bobby and Sam), Karaoke on Tuesday and Thursday nights!!! Love this bar!

Unpretentious bar with a cozy, low-key vibe. It was great after Black Lake Haunted Asylum at Freighthouse Square during October!

I come here early Friday evening around 5pm with my sweetheart and have always had great service from our usual bartender Brook.

Quiet until the music starts. Pool table has seen better days.
