Crown Bar is located just a block from Primo at 2705 6th Avenue in the space formerly occupied by Gary's Steakout. Crown Bar will be open at 5pm Tuesday through Sunday and will close at midnight Tuesday through Thursday, 1am Friday and Saturday and 11pm Sunday. Crown Bar will offer a full bar with hand mixed specialty cocktails, and an eclectic affordable wine list of wines by the glass and bottle. The menu will offer "World Street Food" appetizers including currywurst; quesedillas; and chicken tikka, cajun shrimp, spicy beef and veggie kebabs. We will serve Gerry Stokesberry's organic chicken, buttermilk fried, and Thundering Hooves range fed beef in our burger and bratwurst in addition to trout, scallops and spice rubbed steaks. We will continue to source meats and produce from local farmers Terry Carkner and Cheryl Ouelette   Desserts will be made in house and will be anchored by apple pie and chocolate cake. We have partnered with Phyllis McGavick and Bill Brioch of McGavick winery and Clover Park Technical College to create a Culinary Arts Scholarship which will be our principal charity funded by pre opening and anniversary events and sales of McGavick wines at Crown Bar and Primo Grill. Crown Bar will not accept reservations. Opening is slated for early October.     Thu, 30 Aug 2007 12:16:00 PDT http://www.primogrilltacoma.com/blog/yukon-king-salmon-in/ The Yukon King season opened a couple of days ago and we should have fish tomorrow. Rich in Omega 3 fats, from totally wild stocks fished in a sustainable manner the Yukon salmon is absolutely delicious. The Copper River season opened slowly this year, with high prices. There are still openings for Copper River which is late in the year. There is no word yet on pricing or availability for Yukon Kings.   Tue, 19 Jun 2007 10:59:00 PDT http://www.primogrilltacoma.com/blog/copper-river-king-coming/ Here is some information about the Copper River opening for this year. The first opening is slated for Monday May 14th. In previous years wholesalers have been able to book Alaska Airlines planes to ship to Seattle, however Alaska got burned by a non opening in 2006 so will not allow planes to be reserved. In fact wholesalers are quoting Wednesday 16th or even Thursday for the first fish. Last year was a poor year for Kings but great for Sockeye, reflected by the very high opening prices for Kings. This year wholesalers expect prices to be up again. Wed, 02 May 2007 19:07:00 PDT
