JP's Tavern

This is an establishment I've been working at for almost a year now. When I was hired, the tavern was going through a revamp to encourage improvements in customer service and hospitality and I've seen amazing things through this bar. It's love for people, food, and great staff has been a source of energy for me to continue working in a fast paced setting. The bartenders do well at creating a safe environment while equally creating fundamental bar happiness through their generous Tavern pours I've met amazing people here and love to add to the positivity. Not to mention we go hard on holidays so look out for specials, our colorful decorations, and charitable organizations.

As I've seen it get busier, we acknowledge that perfection is a hard expectation but JP's staff and I do our best to deliver as close to it as we can. If you are reading this I encourage you to come in and get to know the people and staff. My name is Savanna. I work nights at JP's Tavern and I look forward to meeting you!

I've been coming here since it was LOLLI'S!!!! Okay. A real fed Way person right here! This bar has been a staple in the community so it's important that the people they hire are respectful to the customers that have been coming for well over 20 years.

I've never had issues at this bar. I've seen so many people come and go from this bar. The food is always on point, the drinks are made great, pool tables, good amount of space. But this particular night was weird.

The bartender almost completely ignored me but made sure to address my boyfriend. Even given him suggestions on what to order. When my bf ordered his food, I also order mine. But he only brought my bf's food. He never ever even put mine in. We waited and waited and when my bf was going to tell him about it, I said forget it, let's just pay and go.

His food was good, our drinks were good, but that service was terrible. It would be 1 star for that. But because I've been here before and I know what this bar is all about. I'll give it 3. I'm sure I'll be there again soon and will update the review.

We stopped by for happy hour on a Friday. Bar was fu but we were able to snag a table. We haven't been back since it was Lollies. Same layout but better decor for sure! They were also selling Girl Scout cookies. This girl was cleaning up! Great idea. We got Mac n cheese, sliders, and a giant pretzel. Mac n cheese was creamy and i loved that they used orecchiette pasta. It holds the sauce so well. Hubs got the sliders and he liked them. He said the wagu was nice. All around good slider. The giant pretzel with cheese sauce was chewy and warm and frankly it's carbs and cheese with salt. How can you go wrong?! I'm excited we live close because we can pop in anytime.

Been here a handful of times and every time, I've had the same friendly service from several different servers each time. Plenty of beer taps to choose from, pull tabs if you dare, two pool tables and two dart boards. If you want to catch a game, most likely it's in one of the many TV's placed around the restaurant. Very diverse crowd who seem to enjoy each other's company. Food is pretty damn good if I do say so myself. Ordered the pepperoni pizza and was glad I was going to have left overs. Larger than I expected.

Great service! Our server did a great job!

Loved the salmon club! The salmon was perfectly seasoned! For me the only downside was the bun. There was too much bread so I took the top off and ate it like that. The shoestring French fries were very good too!

We enjoy this place! Although not here for the sportball viewing, we come for the great happy hour, food, and great service.

Love that they have their own selection of beers, this time I had the red ale, which was great!

This particular trip we came in specifically for the prime rib. Of course we could have stopped after having ordered all the appetizers that we did, but you know who could! The portion for the price is certainly worth it. Loved the mashed potatoes!

We also had their beef sliders, garlic fries, wings, and tater tots. Goodness, that was a lot of food and still a reasonable price.

The staff are great, tentative and fast.

Highly recommend this place!

First time here; I got the HH Calamari, lightly crispy, tender, perfectly salted & paired with an amazeballs pesto aioli. Nom nom nom... Bartenders were friendly, fun and fast. Me likely!

This is a great neighborhood bar - almost a dive bar which has food that surpasses expectations - their prices are much lower than expected these days especially during happy hour. It has a relaxed atmosphere and service style which doesn't bother me. Lots of regulars.

Back to one of our favorite bars/restaurants in the Federal Way area. It provided another fun night of carbonated shuffleboard, good food, and great service (thanks Lewis). Our wings were hot, crunchy, moist and provided just the right level of heat. The Rueben Sliders were tasty, and the Ranch Chicken Burger my son's favorite. The 16 ounce PBR's are reasonably priced and keep the shuffleboard well lubricated. Great neighborhood bar. Can't imagine a trip to Federal Way without a stop here.

This has to be one of the best dive bars I've been in a long time. It really doesn't give you much of a dive bar fill because their food and service is so amazing. It's an eclectic mix of people which makes it great to be a part of. Everything we tried was definitely delicious. I was so excited to eat it I couldn't even take a picture. I'll have to get one next time!
