Tacoma's West Slope
RM Home Specialists • August 24, 2023

For the foodie and sunset chaser.

The west slope of Tacoma is known for the insanely beautiful sunsets overlooking the Puget Sound View and the Narrows Bridge. What you might not know about this neighborhood are the walkable restaurants and bars. Call me biased; I do live in the area, but it is truly an amazing location—not to be overlooked. 


You could stop by the family-friendly diner- The Pinecone- for classic comfort food in a laidback setting. The new ownership kept the nostalgic elements but definitely enhanced the menu and aesthetic. This spot is open early for breakfast all week long- AND they just started offering dinner service. Don't sleep on the biscuits and gravy, the cheddar chive pastry is made in-house! My husband is completely obsessed. 


The Beach Tavern is perched across the street from Titlow Beach and Park; this iconic spot is THE local watering hole. Every day at 5 PM, they have a new dinner special and drink Happy Hour. Thursdays are $3 tallboys, and 9 PM to close well-drinks are $.75 off. The fried mushrooms are totally epic, trust me. And they pair well with a Tito's dirty martini. 


If you are looking for a more elevated experience, Boathouse 19 is a local favorite. The restaurant has both indoor and outdoor seating. It's a total treat to sit outside on a warm evening. The location on Narrows Marina cannot be beaten. The pinkish, yellow, orange sunsets never get old. My order rarely waivers, I love the fresh garlic clams! What you might not know is that they have a $26 3-course dinner special Monday-Friday 3-5:30 PM. 


It is wonderful living in this beautiful neighborhood. We love the fact that we can walk to dinner or breakfast. It wasn't something that we had strongly considered when moving here, but it quickly became an added bonus to this location. I know what you are thinking. How can I be a part of the West Slope lifestyle?
