Welcome to the Powder Room, where swankiness meets fun and bubbles flow freely! As two enterprising women and avid bubble enthusiasts, we saw a void in our area for a place that encompassed everything we craved—a meeting space, a refreshing oasis, a haven for celebrations or forgetfulness of worries. 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.

Another yummy dinner at wildfin! Our server, Lake was very friendly and had a few recommendations for me because they were unfortunately OUT of the Parmesan crusted sole last night I wound up having the trout both the seafood fettuccine and the shepherds pie are delicious and the beer ( house Hefeweizen ) was even good as well. Last night was just another example of why Wildfin is one of our favorites

My husband and I enjoy all the McMenamins. However, we are older and it seems to be a little dark. It would be nice to have some light on each table so we could actually read the menus. We are also passport holders and have noticed it’s dark in most of the bars and restaurants.
