A new rock ’n’ roll-themed bar on Sixth Avenue pays homage to Tacoma as a haven of ‘60s-era punk while also serving up Filipino comfort food from an acclaimed Seattle chef.

Open 4pm-2am daily.

It is a love for this era that brought together a group of lifelong music obsessives to create Busy Body! - a 60s-centric rock & roll bar on 6th Avenue in Tacoma featuring food by Musangtino’s from James Beard Nominated chef Melissa Miranda. Busy Body! is an homage to the sights and sounds, the times, places, and people (Etiquette Records, The Sonics, The Ventures, The Wailers, etc…) that changed music forever. Named after a 1964 Sonics recording, Busy Body! is a reverberation of this revolution - and it could only exist in Tacoma.

The food program features Chef Melissa’s classic Filipino-inspired cuisine - which has long been heralded as some of the finest in the Pacific Northwest. The menu is specifically intended to complement the bar’s delightfully raucous rock n roll spirit. Vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options are featured. 

The bar program features radical and approachable cocktails and wine on draft, our favorite local beers, and a slew of N/A possibilities.

To further the rock n roll experience, Busy Body! hosts a who’s who of local, regional, national, and international DJs spinning all vinyl along with monthly dance juggernauts such as Seattle 60s go-go extravaganza BOOTS! and long-running institution Emerald City Soul Club…all nods to Tacoma’s spirited 50s/60s dance craze scene.
