Exceptional venue in the heart of downtown Tacoma. The acoustics are amazing! Wonderful sight lines and from every location and super comfortable seats.
Plenty of free street parking during the evening. Simply a fantastic place to see a show!

Saw Gypsy kings and the venue was great. Felt intimate and the sound was great. Even sitting under the balcony.
