🍷 West 122 in Tacoma Has New Owners

The Pacific Ave bistro just changed hands, but its future looks promising

If you’ve spent time in downtown Tacoma, you’ve probably passed (or dined at) West 122 — a stylish spot known for its modern bistro menu, well-crafted cocktails, and local wine list.

Now, the restaurant is entering a new chapter. Ownership has officially changed hands, with the sale finalized after months in the works.

👥 Meet the New Owners

The new faces behind West 122 aren’t strangers to Tacoma’s food-and-drink scene. Kennon and Kenzie Maurer, the duo behind the popular Ebony & Ivory Coffee, are now officially running the restaurant.

If their coffee shop’s success is any indication, expect them to bring a loyal following, strong brand vision, and community-focused energy to West 122.

🍴 What’s Changing?

As of now, no major changes have been announced. That means you can still expect the same familiar West 122 favorites — from bistro staples to a solid bar program featuring regional wines and signature cocktails.

But given the Maurers’ track record, it’s safe to say new ideas and updates could be on the horizon. Whether that means expanded menus, events, or fresh design touches, Tacoma foodies will be watching closely.

📍 A Downtown Favorite

Located on Pacific Avenue, West 122 has carved out a reputation as both a date-night go-to and a casual neighborhood spot where locals can sip, eat, and unwind.

Its cozy-yet-polished vibe makes it versatile — the kind of place you can stop by after work, or linger with friends over a bottle of wine.

🧭 Final Thoughts

Transitions like this can always bring a mix of curiosity and excitement. For now, West 122 fans can rest easy — the restaurant remains open, with new ownership that understands Tacoma’s culture and community.

What comes next? Time will tell. But for a restaurant already loved by many, this feels like a fresh start with potential.
