0the best bartenders in town
i went there taking my family and friends out and wow its is not what is seem to be. I had high expectation but i was all wrong. The place is crowded and filled with white people only and we didn't mind. As soon as we all sat down a black girl was our server, she gave us the worst customer service ever even though she knew she was the only black people in there and so are we. She only cater to the whites there. She had act like we had no reason to be there or something. Im asian with my wife and 2 hispanic with a successful private business and trying to celebrate our night. All i can say is that if u ain't white, it ain't right.... even though ur server is a black girl.

Love Engine House # 9, We first went to this place back in 1986 and the food and atmosphere was fantastic. Engine House # 9 continues to have consistantly great food and is always fun to go bring friends or a group of people and enjoy the night.
This is great local place to eat fresh food. years ago it was sort of a hippie place but now it has a different clientele, more yuppy. However everyone fits in and is welcome.
The Engine House No 9 is a unique restaurant and bar. The service is adequate and the food is good. All around a nice place to try.
Great outside area, good beer--the IPA packs a punch so hang on. Good fries, too.
Beer is OK, and food is nothing special, but the atmosphere is fun and loud; trivia night is the best!
lots of beers to choose from. service is okay. kid friendly
- General Info
- Engine House No. 9 was built in 1907 to provide fire protection for Tacoma's North End. For many years it served as battalion headquarters. It was the last station in Tacoma to convert from horse-drawn to mechanized equipment-in 1919 when Rufus Harben and Earle More made the final symbolic run aboard an Amoskeg steam pumper drawn by the horses Nip, Dick and Joe. Engine House No. 9 was in service until 1965 when it was abandoned and fell into disrepair. Vandals touched off no less than three fires in the building in the ensuing seven years. Although the structure remained, it was stripped and battered and its bones exposed to winter snow and rain when it was discovered by a young newspaper reporter in 1971. Win Anderson and Bob Lane purchased and restored the building, converting the lower floor to a tavern and the second story into an apartment. In August of 2011 the Xitco and Paradise families, having been longtime admirers of Engine House No. 9, became proprietors and stewards of one of Tacoma's Historical Landmarks. Today the building is listed on the National Register of Historic PlacesEngine House No. 9 was built in 1907 to provide fire protection for Tacoma's North End.
