Elks Temple Hotel Tacoma
This was our first time at the Elks Temple, we'd driven past before and I had heard it was pretty cool inside.
I enjoyed a lot of the décor.
The pub had a very nice view, and the design was pretty cozy with all the eclectic stuff- you can see the reflection of all the random light fixtures.
The room was nice enough.
We explored the whole place, I think my least favorite thing was this creepy guy in the elevator.... the rest of the people painted everywhere were nice, but he was the one creeper.
We went up to the 7th floor which is only a partial floor that overlooks the crazy 6th floor. The 6th floor is constructed with hotel rooms in the middle that are like little smaller buildings inside this big atrium, so we can see the "roofs" of those ones in the middle from here.
The tiki bar was amazing but somehow I only ended up with this photo from the little area next to it, but I liked the vintage Japanese art.

Date Night: Beer & a Movie
Baghdad Theater on Hawthorne
Hourt and I went here a couple of times for our date nights to watch movies that were released months ago for just $3. On this night we watched 50/50 with Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Seth Rogen. Aside from the movie being utterly amazing (comedy genius those two, and my goodness did I cry buckets at the end), the fact that we could drink a pitcher of beer for $3 and get happy hour food is an added plus! It's also owned by the McMennamins pub chain here in Portland so they have their beers on draft (my favorite is the Ruby!). It's definitely a nice place to watch a movie for cheap with a cold glass of beer in hand! This theater is located in SE but we'll probably make a drive out there once we get a car.
