Staff friendly and knowledgeable and very attentive
The wait staff sat us quickly and was prompt on orders to each of the people in my party. Definitely will be back!
The building itself is so interesting and worth the trip there, but we were unhappy with the service. We had to wait way too long for our food and one order was the wrong sandwich. We chose not to send it back because we already had waited far longer than expected, but this one was more expensive and no offer of any compensation. We will not be returning soon.

The McMenamins Spanish Bar offers a unique dining experience with an impressive interior design and chandeliers. Located in the beautifully restored Tacoma Elks Temple, the venue provides a fun and lively atmosphere with friendly staff and a variety of spaces to enjoy. The restaurant is known for its delicious brunch options, with customers raving about the amazing waffles and the crab & shrimp roll served with cajun tots. The Grit City Shrimp remains a favorite for many guests. The pub features fun touches like RC cola instead of standard sodas, and the food consistently impresses with dishes such as Crab Mac & Cheese and a Jr's Jumbo Deluxe burger. The Apple pecan cake and Brownie sundae are popular desserts that provide a sweet ending. While the menu mostly offers casual, bar-style fare, it has enough variety to satisfy everyone. The service is attentive, and the lively atmosphere creates a memorable experience, especially during special occasions or concerts in the Spanish ballroom. Despite occasional reports of food inconsistencies like rock-hard sliders, the overall experience remains highly positive, making it a beloved Tacoma treasure for locals and visitors alike.
