Devil's Reef

This place is amazing! A very fun and cozy tiki bar in an old historic area of Tacoma. I had the best drink that I've ever had, it's called the Gilman House Special and it was so delicious that I can't wait to go back for another one. We also tried different grog drinks that were amazing too. For our food we shared nachos and ordered pork sliders, rice bowl and quesadilla. Everything was delicious. It was a very fun night!

Incredible and imaginative libations abound on this robust tiki menu! I only had the pleasure of one cocktail but it was one of the best mai tais I've had in a long time. I definitely want to come back and try some food and peruse the menu a bit more. Three cheers for Steve the Pirate! Olympic Otter

I hosted my small business one-year anniversary party in the upstairs event room and it was a huge hit! The owner Jason and his staff were amazing delivering drinks and food and everyone had glowing things to say about the whole experience. Great food portion sizes, unique and intentionally crafted drinks, and the decor were all elements of a night we won’t forget!

Myself and a friend visited This place last weekend and both of us really enjoyed everything about this place. Atmosphere was perfect service was kind and prices for a downtown bar were very competitive. Only reason 4 stars is I didn't eat but we are meeting again this weekend so I may update. Last note I live on Phinney Ridge in Seattle and it was worth the 35 miles. Came back had chicken nachos and upgraded to 5 stars

Drinks were decent, although not sure why my requiem for a Doomed Star tasted like licorice when that's not an ingredient. My wife's Kingsport Festival was good. Air flow is a bit of an issue so it was stuffy. Edit - Just want to point out that nowhere in the drinks menu description does it say Absinthe.

Thought this place would be slightly more fun. Great drinks with attention to detail. Nice tiki decoration but too bright, music too quiet… just not quite right. Bartenders semi-friendly/ semi-unfriendly. Worth a try.

Nice dark tiki bar! Hidden off a side street in downtown. No sign out front, just a ships well to let you know you got to the right place! Dark and cozy inside. Great selection of drinks! We tried Obeds grog and the death never dies! Both were good and had a bit of a punch! Worth stopping if you like tiki!

If you're in the area of Tacoma, Washington, definitely stop by Devil's Reef. It's on my list of one of the better tiki bars around the country. The look of the bar is pleasing to the eye. Upon entry, you lose yourself to the escapism created by the interior. The staff is amazing and very knowledgeable. Fresh ingredients are prepared in-house, and the bartenders are several steps above the average. The drinks are well balanced and delicious. Food items are offered and make a proper meal, plus they pair well with the cocktails. Definitely stop by this spot and enjoy great ambiance, good people as well as food and drink. It does not disappoint. Tiki peeps, you'll definitely want to make this a destination. However, all will enjoy!
