If you love a good espresso martini, Tacoma’s got something special brewing this month.

Tacoma Espresso Martini Week runs October 13th through 27th, featuring nearly 50 bars and restaurants across Pierce County — all shaking up their own take on the caffeinated cocktail.

🍸 What to Expect

Each participating bar is crafting a unique version of the espresso martini, from creative twists with flavored syrups to classic coffee-and-vodka blends. Favorites like En Rama, Wooden City, and The Camp Bar are already confirmed, with dozens more on the list.

It’s part cocktail crawl, part community celebration — giving locals the perfect excuse to explore Tacoma’s vibrant bar and restaurant scene while sampling some seriously good drinks.

❤️ Supporting a Local Cause

Beyond the buzz (literally), the event also gives back. A portion of proceeds from participating locations will go toward the Emergency Food Network, helping provide meals for families across Pierce County.

It’s a great way to enjoy the city’s food and drink culture while supporting a nonprofit that keeps local food pantries and meal sites stocked throughout the year.
