701 Pacific Gets Tables! (19. March 2007, 08:59 by Derek Young) ~ Loving The Food Options
The new downtown location for Capers gets tables and Tacoma goes atwitter. We received several tips that the build out at 701 Pacific is progressing along and folks are getting excited. They’ve been working on the space for a while, but add a few stand up height tables and watch those cell phone cams start clicking. Restaurant! Food! Food!
This corner of town is starting to shape up nicely. The last time I heard the opening date was set for some time this Spring. Does anybody have an updated timeline?

Was surprised to see on the Capers site that they suggest you “stop by one of their two locations” if one isn’t quite functional yet!? Hmm…perhaps an oversight.
But this block just keeps filling up. On Saturday, Paddy Coyne’s had a MAJOR line of St. Paddy’s Day revelers waiting outside, at only 6:30 (still daylight)!!
Woohoooo! Was awesome to show our San Fran visitors. Downtown’s coming alive, people.

I think a 3 or 4 screen movie theater in this neighborhood would put us at critical mass. Dinner, a movie, and late night drinks all within 2-3 blocks of each other. Isnt a lot of that space across from Meconis vacant?

Capers has secured a unique location downtown. Not only is it in a historical building, but it is has a corner spot adjacent to the park where they could serve food on the adjoining sidewalk.
In just a month or two we could have another fully functional block of downtown Tacoma with every storefront filled. That’s saying quite alot considering their are probably only half a dozen blocks downtown which are running at full capacity, have survived the wrecking ball, and have no empty dead spaces.
The building is pretty spectacular but it needs some different color paint to distinguish it. Right now it is a solid yellow.
(By the way, take a look at the photos of the sidewalk near the building and you can see the glass ceiling tiles for the Tacoma underground tunnels)
