Old Brewery District introduces a fresh chapter of city life where historic brick warehouses meet maker spaces, lofts, and taprooms, all within the core of Tacoma. Edging Downtown and connected uphill to Hilltop in Pierce County, the area blends industrial heritage with an easy, walk-everywhere rhythm. Streets lined with murals and repurposed rail-era buildings set an urban backdrop for coffee roasters, brewpubs, and creative studios, while the Thea Foss Waterway esplanade is close enough for a quick waterfront reset.
Culture anchors the neighborhood. The cone-shaped hot shop at the Museum of Glass and the collections at the Tacoma Art Museum sit just a short stroll away, bookending public art, plazas, and seasonal events. The Tacoma Link light rail glides through the district, making it easy to reach venues, the waterfront, and Hilltop restaurants without moving your car.
Families and students appreciate practical access to Tacoma Public Schools, with options ranging from language immersion to STEM pathways under the Tacoma Public Schools umbrella. Higher ed is right here, too, with the University of Washington Tacoma campus weaving academic energy into the street grid and fueling cafés and study-friendly nooks.
