Tacoma Wine Merchants

Tacoma Wine Merchants is a bottle shop on the eastern end of Old Town's North 30th Street strip, and it rounds out an evening loop that already includes a gallery, a maker collective and the waterfront below. The operator's own framing is straightforward — a bottle shop in Old Town — and the useful facts are the hours: closed Monday, then noon to 8pm Tuesday through Saturday and a shorter noon to 5pm Sunday. That later close is the point of difference in a neighbourhood where most retail shuts at five, so it is the stop that can come after a Ruston Way walk rather than before one. It also gives visitors staying in downtown hotels a reason to walk north past Old Town rather than treating the waterfront as the turnaround point.

Editor's tips

• The 8pm close Tuesday to Saturday makes this the after-walk stop on North 30th, not the before-walk one.
• It is the eastern end of the Old Town block, closest to the Schuster Parkway approach.
