Thus, the Powder Room was born.Our journey has been a long time in the making, fueled by years of conversations and dreams. As single moms, business owners, and lifelong residents of Tacoma, we found solace in our shared love for travel, good times, and of course, champagne. With the support and excitement of our daughters and "adopted daughters," the Powder Room has become a space where connection is celebrated and joyful indulgence is encouraged.Join us on this extraordinary adventure as we create a haven for all things fabulous like the newest champagne trends, champagne gift ideas, or champagne cocktail recipes at the Powder Room!

Time counts at BJ's Restaurant & Brewhouse. Since our humble beginnings back in 1978, we've continued to refine our brewhouse experience to make BJ's a place where you can make the most of any meal. We want BJ's to be a place where the moment you leave is the moment you plan on coming back. We pride ourselves in our craft and attention to detail. Our guests come here for our award-winning handcrafted beer. They come here for the Southern California twist we've put on the Chicago-style deep dish pizza. And they come here for our Pizookies®, our world-renowned dessert. But above all we know people come here to make their good times better. So in many ways we haven't just crafted a brand, but a mindset. And our guests are the reason for this. And it's because of them we're continually striving to make sure every moment they choose to spend with us counts. Welcome to BJ's, a restaurant with a Brewhouse soul.

    Wonderful dinner with my parents tonight. Kendra was our wait staff and she was simply a breath of fresh air amongst staffing these days. She was super attentive, friendly and knew how to talk to her customers. Kudos to Kendra!

    We hadn’t been here for a long time, so decided to try again. Service and atmosphere was great but the Crusted Scallops failed big time(one of my favorite seafoods.) food was basically floating in oil, making it uneatible. I also never complain about my food, , but was taken care of quickly and was credited for the issue. A huge plus! The coconut prawns,caesar salad were excellent and my husbands steak was great! Will have to think about trying again. Thank you to the manager for making it right!

The waitress was very friendly and helpful although it took a while for her to get back to us. The food was excellent! I had the red rabbit wine over steak. Very good! Such a nice place to celebrate Valentines day.

    We make reservations here when we stay at the hotel for a show of some kind. The food is really good and really fresh. The place is a bit loud, but you are already outside the casino, so I'm not sure that matters. They have a decent menu, and the portions are nice. The service is okay but not great. But I suspect they are always short-staffed.
