The Spanish Ballroom

Don't let the ornate trim and magnificent chandeliers fool you; The Spanish Ballroom at McMenamins Elks Temple was made to hold a capacity crowd of 700 fans getting a full live-music experience from some of the top bands in the country. This historic venue started life as the ballroom of the Elks Lodge, and continues to be a center for entertainment in downtown Tacoma. An upstairs bar overlooks the ballroom, giving concert-goers the chance to enjoy their refreshments without missing a beat.
