The Swiss has existed as a pub since 1913. The building known as The Swiss Hall was built to serve as a meeting place, dance hall & tavern for the " Swiss Society" a fraternal organization.There have been many businesses that have occupied the space now known as The Swiss Restaurant & Pub. It has been a general store, creamery, beer distributorship, machine shop etc. One thing that has remained constant is that there has always been an operating tavern on site. In late Gayl Bertagni, Bob Hill & Jack McQuade, with the help of many others, worked for six months to turn the Swiss Hall from a long neglected tavern into a place where friends & family can gather over a meal or a pint and enjoy the sound of live music surrounded by local & international artwork. We are honored to be the only pub in the world that has eight pieces of Venetian Glass from world renowned, Tacoma born & raised glass artist Dale Chihuly. The pieces are on display on top of our turn of the century mahogany bar. We proudly opened the revitalized space in April 1993 and while over the past 20 plus years there have been changes in our partnership our motto, "You're A Stranger Here But Once," remains the same.
