Having been a fixture of the Tacoma, Washington waterfront since 1981, the Lobster Shop brought in Bargreen Ellingson to help update the restaurant to code compliance and streamline the new operator’s flow and function of the space. Longtime partners E3 Restaurant Group knew our team would be up to the unique challenges of working on a location that’s been subjected to the waters of the Puget Sound for decades.
Working in tandem with Wilcox Construction and Skidmore Architecture on construction and interior design respectively, Bargreen Ellingson’s focus was on modernizing their bar and kitchen while working around the existing systems like hoods and equipment that weren’t being replaced as well as providing new smallwares and millwork from our sister company Specialty Wood. Opening up just in time for summer, the Lobster Shop’s restoration is ready to become an icon for another generation of Tacoma locals.
