Food & Beverage

The Tacoma Dome offers a variety of fresh, original eats plus classic fan favorites, all crafted with Northwest flair! Visit our Food & Beverage page for a list of offerings.

  • Food Court opens at 11am daily
  • The Garage bar opens at 12 noon daily. Take a break – come watch a game on our TVs and enjoy beer, wine, or cocktails. Age 21+.

Advertised prices include applicable excise tax. A portion of all food and beverage sales at the Tacoma Dome benefits community events throughout Tacoma.

Please note that outside food and beverages are not permitted. Exceptions may be granted for baby formula, baby bottles, baby food, medication, or other special health-related needs. Please contact us for questions.

Cashless

The Tacoma Dome is a cashless facility, including parking, concessions, and merchandise sales. Google Pay and Apple Pay are also available at concession points of sale. There are cash-to-card kiosks (reverse ATM’s) where guests can exchange their cash for a Tacoma Dome VISA card. Card balances remain usable anywhere after the event. Going cashless improves the transaction process, reduces wait times, and limits guest to staff contact. Cashless parking payment options are also available. Please visit our Cashless FAQs for more information.

Guest Services

Legendary experiences start with exceptional service. If you need assistance or have questions, visit our Guest Services Kiosk presented by Commencement Bank, located near the show entrance.
