Tacoma craft beer and hot dog bar The Red Hot is closed today and will reopen in its new space next door tomorrow.

The family-owned 21-and-up establishment opened in 2007 at 2914 Sixth Avenue.

The company announced plans to move to a bigger storefront in the same building last year. The space, on the corner of N. Junett Street and Sixth Avenue in Tacoma, formerly occupied by The Wedding Bell, is three times larger.

Along with the additional space, the new location will offer more beer — about 25 handles, up from 15 — and a slightly revised menu.

“We’re trying to become a destination for craft beer,” manager Jeff Lee said in an interview earlier this year. “That’s going to be a big part of the expansion. The beer is about to come to a new level.”
