Other places we love

Want to know where we hang out in our off hours? Maybe you have folks in town and need a rec? We got you covered. Go give our friends at these rad places some love, say hi for us, and buy us a beer if you see us there.

Field Bar + Bottle Shop

Very good vibes (campy like your cool uncle’s cabin), excellent cocktails, and great snacks. Also, maybe our favorite people on earth.

Loak Toung Thai

The best Thai food in town, run by the sweetest people.

State Street Beer Co.

Great beer selection and excellent pizzas. Come hang in the patio with your chillest friends.

Parkway Tavern

A Tacoma institution and absolutely where we want to be on any given weekday evening.

Beware Coffee

Our rec for a great coffee in a sunny, artsy space.

Outpost Sandwiches

Grade-A sandwiches in a hole-in-the wall downtown.

Howdy Bagel

Howdy graces this city with serious bagels, the cutest little space, and love, and this city loves them back—for good reason.

Al Bacha #2

Desperately need kofta kebab, falafel, or baba ghanoush? Go here.

Side Piece Kitchen

Dope biscuit sandwiches in your the distilled memory of your very cool grandma’s house, straight out of 1972. Plus cheesecake!

E9 Brewing Co.

The best beer Tacoma makes, and some very high-class wood-fired pizza. Definitely go to the taproom on Fawcett.

Tho Tung BBQ

Vietnamese BBQ might just be the prefect Tacoma comfort food. Look for the ducks in the window!

Olympia Coffee Roasting Co.

Our neighbors a few doors down with excellent coffee and sweet people.

Ho Soon Yi

Korean food is our favorite, and their bulgogi and kimchi pancake and really everything there is wonderful. Banchan is life.

Peaks & Pints

Another brew pub? Yes, and it’s entirely necessary. Pop across the street for a pint in a giant log-cabin vibes.

Tacoma Pie

Excellent pies that mix Sicilian, Grandma, and Detroit-style pizza. Highly recommend.  

Northwest Lumpia

Tacoma’a best-kept Friday-&-Saturday secret. Go get some fried goodness from their lemon-lime drive-through and thank us later.

Burger Seoul

A highly anticipated food-truck-turned-brick-&-mortar with a cult following. We can’t wait to get our fire fries & bulgogiger fix.

Buddy’s Chicken & Waffles

Serious fried chicken that you need right now.

El Parche

We freaking love Columbian food. Not only do they have the best braised chicken arepas, they often have live music!
