15 MINUTES OF GLORY >>>
We're gonna skip the 4:20 humor because weeds jokes aren't particularly funny while sober, but after we pound a beer at 4:20 p.m. inside Meconi's Tacoma Pub & Eatery, we might pop back in here and bust one out. This longtime locals joint - which has held its own as fancy downtown Tacoma joints popped up around it - offer a weekday "4:20 At Meconi's" happy hour bump. For 15 minutes, owner Dave Meconi and crew will serve $1 beers, wells and wine pours - one per person.
