If you’re looking for a no-fuss place in Puyallup to grab a bite, watch the game, or just hang out with friends, Cheers Bar & Grill South Hill should be on your list. Located at 4110 S Meridian, this casual spot offers pub classics, cold drinks, and a laid-back vibe that keeps locals coming back. While hours aren’t publicly listed, most similar bars in the area open around 11 AM to midnight on weekdays and 11 AM to 2 AM on weekends. Call ahead at (253) 770-0461 to confirm.

The Basics: Food, Drinks, and Vibes

The menu here sticks to crowd-pleasers: think crispy onion rings, juicy burgers, and tacos packed with shrimp or asada. Regulars love the chicken Caesar salad, which pairs perfectly with a glass of Cabernet, and the nachos are a hit for sharing. For those with kids, there’s a simple menu with chicken strips and tater tots, though some parents say portions could be bigger for the price.

Drinks range from Cadillac margaritas to local beers on tap, with plenty of TVs showing sports. The space is split into a bar area with pool tables and a family-friendly section, so you can bring the whole crew without worrying about rowdy crowds. On sunny days, the outdoor seating even welcomes dogs, making it a top pick for pet owners.

What People Are Saying

Reviews are mixed but mostly positive. Staff like Stephanie and Alex get praised for their friendly service, and the bartenders often go the extra mile to keep guests happy. That said, some diners report slow service when it’s busy, and a few mention billing mix-ups or disappointing dishes (like a $30 taco plate that missed the mark). There’s also a concerning review about possible racial bias, though this seems isolated.

Plan Your Visit

Prices are standard for a bar and grill, but keep an eye on your bill; some customers feel portions don’t always match the cost. The crowd varies: it’s quieter on weekdays but livelier during games or UFC fights. If you’re driving, parking is easy, and the location near South Hill Mall makes it convenient for a post-shopping stop.

Cheers isn’t fancy, and that’s the point. It’s a place to relax, enjoy decent food, and maybe shoot some pool without breaking the bank. While it’s not perfect, the friendly staff and comfy atmosphere make it a solid choice for a casual night out in Puyallup. Just double-check the address before you go; some online sources list conflicting locations, so call ahead if you’re unsure
