+1 to everything Libbey said, especially Parkway. Alehouse Pub is also excellent. The Ram isn't half bad, either. BJ's at the Tacoma Mall has pretty good food and a nice bottle list.
Red Hot is a must and hit the E-9. They are nearly across the street from each other and two of the best beer spots in Tacoma.
Thanks for the suggestions! I didn't have much time last night, but hit up a place called 99bottles on the outskirts of town and found some gems.
