Brews, Wine & Spirits

If wine is not what your thinking, check out the new Wet Coast Brewing Company, 7 Seas Brewing or Heritage Distilling Co.

You’ll also get to view the inner workings of the brewing facility. Wet Coast is located in the Kimball Shopping Center at 6820 Kimball Drive, and the new tasting room is warm and inviting and certainly a place not to miss!

In 2014, Heritage opened a second location on the waterfront at the corner of Pioneer Way and Harborview Drive in the core of downtown.
With its generous deck size and enormous number of beers on tap, the Tides Tavern is a stop you must make. Especially busy in summer, but a popular hangout all year round, the Tides is practically synonymous with the Harbor – and don’t let the word ‘tavern’ fool you. Beyond the unassuming decor is a destination that has some of the best food and drink in town.
