RON SWARNER: HERE'S TO TWO YEARS >>>
Years ago, the nightlife in the McKinley Hill neighborhood of Tacoma was pretty limited, to say the least, with only a few little taverns and diners along the main drag along McKinley Avenue.
Not much as has changed.There’s hope. Two years ago the Top of Tacoma Bar and Café emerged as the coolest watering hole in the neighborhood. Before, a blue-collar joint called Harry’s Place served pizza to locals in this spot. The blue-collar vibes remain, although with a dash of young rock star swagger.
Last night Top owners Jaime Kay Newton and Jason J. Jones celebrated their second year in business by working their asses off keeping the packed house happy. The Revengers and The Fucking Eagles rocked the joint. Many celebratory shots were raised and downed.Congrats Jamie and Jason. You know how to throw a party.
