The Hilltop, Tacoma, lounge 1022 South is a little pocket of goodness in every way. Its mere 25-person capacity means you'll never be 10 deep at the bar. Handmade craft cocktails are complemented by a simple menu of quality vegan and vegetarian dishes: sandwiches, salads, cheese plates and charcuterie. Ingredient combinations at 1022 South are as much about the drinks they'll go with as they are about the food itself. House-made sauces and dressings, roasted tomato jam, boisterous flavors of dried Montmorency cherries, honey brown sugar balsamic reduction, tangy local cheeses, freshly baked breads, earthy mixed greens and quality meats make taste buds do the Dougie dance. Eat the Flora sandwich.
