Today's comment comes from Bob in response to our recent Drink(s) guide features on places to drink with old people.

Bob writes,

Both good candidates. The Flying Boots and the tavern on 84th and park ave behind the asian mart are also always full of old people.

But nothing in tacoma comes close in geezers to the Elks club. 10 years ago or so I used to go play snooker up there in my mid 20's with a buddy of mine who was a member and in his late 60's at the time. I was always, ALWAYS the only one in there who was under 40/50, and 99% of the people there were older than 40/50, more like 65+++. They poured RIDICULOUS drinks, and they were super cheap. I also remember a pitcher of beer (oly) was $4. Was also kind of funny because they so need younger members I would get hit up by every old guy in there to join, and they all offered to sponsor me, ha ha. Nice group of folks there though, and a really nice facility. Was like drinking and shooting snooker in a senior citizen home...but I loved it! Old people are great!
