We had a fantastic experience at Bluewater Distillery, and it was made even better by the outstanding service and drinks. Rhelynn, our server, was attentive, friendly, and genuinely welcoming without ever being overbearing. She was knowledgeable about the menu, checked in at all the right moments, and made the whole experience feel relaxed and very enjoyable. The custom cocktails were a standout. Becca clearly knows her craft--each drink was well‑balanced, creative, and thoughtfully prepared. You can tell there's real attention to detail and pride behind the bar. If you're on the fence about trying something custom, absolutely do it--you won't be disappointed. The food paired perfectly with the cocktails and rounded out a great overall experience. Between the quality of the drinks, the solid food, and the excellent service, Bluewater Distillery delivered across the board. We'll definitely be back and will be recommending this place to friends--especially if Rhelynn and Becca are working. read more

Girls lunch on a sunny day! We were there early on a slow Sunday, party of 3 for the patio. We asked if we could move the table a bit into the sun (an open spot 3' over) but were told no, which, ok its a big ask with a clunky umbrella attached to the table I get it... the large picnic table that was in the sun was also off limits for larger parties (which I also get). Anywho, tacos were ok, a little dry and light on the fillings. Clams were standard steamed in white wine, and good. I tried the 'Hot Shot' cilantro and jalapeño vodka cocktail which was ok - neither flavor (or spice) came through very much, if at all. I should've ordered a flight! Back to my crushed dreams of a patio-lunch-in-the-sun... a party of 4 was seated at the large picnic table (1 body more than us, and both parties couldve split the table its that spacious), AND they pulled a table from the other side of the patio and put it in the sunny spot we asked to sit in towards the end of our time there. As a service industry person myself, I wouldnt be so quick to offer an inside table instead of being minutely inconvenienced (we offered to move the table ourselves as well to be helpful), with a couple of 2-tops outside and 2 inside - they were not busy. Overall, not earth shattering, but neither was the food or drinks in comparison to the experience and bill sadly. read more

Beautiful waterfront setting and great views, but unfortunately the experience ended there. The cocktails took an unreasonable amount of time to arrive, and one didn't show up until we asked about it multiple times. Service was slow and inattentive, and I had to send my hamburger back twice because it was undercooked. When I asked for it to be well done, I was told that because it was wagyu beef, it couldn't be cooked that way. Getting condiments and salt also took several requests and involved multiple servers and a manager. The food was disappointing, especially considering the prices. It's a shame because the location has so much potential, but between the poor service and underwhelming food, I wouldn't return. read more

We came to try the spirits. We sat outside on a beautiful, sunny afternoon. We ordered two drinks and a flight. The blueberry gin and tonic was a beautiful rosy color and tasted refreshing. The moonhattan was a creative riff on an old fashioned. Neither server had much info to offer about the gin, aquavit, and bourbon. The service was slow and inattentive. Each drink was $18 as was the 3 shot flight. At that price point, I hoped for more lively, informative service. We didn't think the gin or bourbon was distinctive but the aquavit was interesting. The bourbon is distilled in Idaho but again the server didn't know the story. read more

When we first walked in the vibe was exactly what we were looking for on date night. We came it at 6pm and once we were sat, the view outside the window was so pretty and calm and quiet. The food was AMAZING! We got so full I couldn't get dessert but I definitely wanted to. The only downside was the server we got seemed like she didn't want to be there. She waited at the table before we were ready and seemed annoyed we didn't know what we wanted. When she dropped our food off she didn't come back until we were done to bring a box and drop the check. read more

Came here since the wait at scuttlebutt was so long. The service was not great like other reviews have shared. Moreso concerned about the employees working here and how they seem pretty unhappy, other than the blonde lady who was so welcoming and friendly. Waited about an hour for our food to come out, but the food was pretty good. Great ambiance but would recommend coming here when you have time to spare and are looking to just relax and hangout read more

Super good food and super kind staff! Hannah was a great server and had awesome recommendations. 10/10 experience.

I came here for a group party. So food that we had more like catering set up. I like the staff friendliness. The food were pretty good too. May come again for regular dine in. read more

Came in last night as a party of 12... Servers were nice, but service was very slow. Food was subpar. Steak was overcooked and chewy, shrimp tacos were dry, burger had no sauce, chowder was bland and for the price stamp it was just OK. I think the only food item without complaint was the Mac&Cheese. I think with a spiced up menu this place could be great! The cocktail menu was definitely the highlight, but again service was slow. read more

In short Amazing location, fantastic drinks, solid food choices, and the best bartender for miles around up here. In long We've been coming in for years for occasional cocktails. We have wine far more often than cocktails, and this has usually been the spot when we want something with spirits. Like I said below, it's a pretty great location near but not on the water. You're not quite directly watching the waves, but you get fresh salty air and some awesome dramatic clouds sometimes. The inside and outside seating are both fantastic, so you're good no matter the weather. We often come in for after-dinner drinks, so I can say only so much about the entrées and desserts, but the snacks here are great. Popcorn, bread, charcuterie. We've had dinner a couple times and it was fine, though it's not really the big draw. The big draw is definitely the bar program. Their house cocktails are interesting; I almost always start with a Cedar Gimlet, which is bright and acidic and extra-refreshing thanks to the lively woodsy notes. They literally garnish with a little sprig of cedar. Even more than the house cocktails, though, the bartenders' creative flair brings each session to life here. Vanessa in particular is sensational. She knows mixology cold and has fantastic taste--we've chatted with her many times about food and bev and clearly she's tried everything and knows how to blend flavors and textures and temperatures. When she has time between orders, we always ask for open-ended drinks where she can fill in the details. Something with this spirit, maybe this garnish, that flavor. She can work off that and come up with something on the spot. Most of the other bartenders have this skill, too! She seems to be the Jedi master most of the time, where if they're getting close with an idea she can nudge it over the finish line by suggesting another touch they can add. We often end up sitting through 3-4 rounds here just to work through all the different ideas she comes up with. If she has been toying with an idea before we arrive, we happily volunteer to be the guinea pigs. She always makes every visit such a treat. read more

Came here for date night. Service was exceptionally slow given the fact they were fully staffed and most were just wandering around as if not wanting to be around. The Charcuterie & Cheese was NOT WORTH $26.00 it was almost in comparison to a charcuterie plate on a plane trip flying on Alaska Airlines. And yes, will share photo of how little the plate was. We ordered the Midnight Manhattan($17.00)--it's way too sweet. Unless it's intended to be sweet, please add that on the description of your menu. Overall not enthused. Customer and employee experience should always be 100%. Server was moody after I said no more drinks and all I wanted was the check. It was an unpleasant experience. I gave it the extra 1 star because of the fact that it's by the waters, and thankfully that's what calmed me down. Please do better with overall customer experience. read more

Amazing service! Will go back for sure! Nice setting, casual but nice, relaxed & pleasant. Was fun to experiment with their vodkas. We had 3 appetizers, all were great. Clean & filling. Not "Ug I ate too much " We asked lots of questions, everyone was friendly &helpful. Madison was suburb! Thanks! So glad we tried something new. Came home with 2 bottles & a batch of their mixer to make our own read more

Bluewater has an amazing vibe whether you sit inside or out on the patio in the sun. As soon as you walk in you're greeted with warmth and friendly smiles. The food and drinks are amazing from the shareable's to the homemade desserts. My drink of choice is the Thyme Bandit. read more

Best cocktails in Everett hands down! Food is amazing too!! Do not miss out on this Everett gem!!!

The drinks here never disappoint. I'm your average middle class gal, so any cocktail over $15 feels like a splurge, but they are worth it. The staff is always very friendly and inviting as well, and I've never had a complaint or bad experience. However, it seems to require me getting food there once every two years or so to remember that I shouldn't get food there. Don't get me wrong, it's yummy, but not worth what they are charging. I went yesterday and got the Lomo Saltado and it was tasty, but for $36 I expected more than 6 smallish bites of steak in a plate full of mostly rice and french fries. Too bad, I would like to support local as a North Everett local, but it seems to do that anymore I have to break my bank and still be hungry. I suppose we must rely on the wealthy yacht people that our old dear waterfront is obviously being designed for to do that. read more

Found this place due to Scuttlebutt having a 90 minute wait and was so glad to stop in! They have really delicious drinks made with their own alcohol and syrups. They also source their food all locally which is really neat as well. The service was a tad on the slower end but the food and the environment makes up for that. Service wasn't bad just took a while to get drinks and get the bill. read more

I bring all my friends here when they come to visit Everett. Cocktails and food has never disappointed us! So many great choices and the outdoor seating is perfect.

Great drinks, good organic food, service a bit slow, but very friendly. Had the steelhead chowder & chicken tinga sliders.

Came by at 7:30 pm with my friend on Saturday, the place was packed! The weather was hot and beautiful out, the restaurant has outside seating. We ordered Nautical mute and it was really refreshing great flavor not overwhelming taste of ginger beer. The waitress said they make Vodka that is organic. We really liked it. There's other cocktails on the menu I'd like to try in the future. The food menu was not long at all in fact we had a hard time deciding because of it. Ended up ordering hummus and it was delicious. Hummus didn't taste like the store sold one at all more of home made kind of flavor. Very simple. I really liked it too. I just hoped they include crackers or pita bread with instead of just roasted vegetables. The ambiance was great with different type of seatings with upbeat music. The service overall was ok. read more

Great Patio along the Everett Marina! They have delicious cocktail and food options. The Nordic Fire is my go to cocktail. The black salt rim and spicy kick pair perfectly. The Hot Shot with the cucumber and Jalapeño is another great pick. Refreshing and spicy! We ordered the Firecracker shrimp for the first time and it was amazing. The sauce spicy and delicious! It came with kale and quinoa and ate it all to get the most of that sauce! Our server was friendly, and guests were kind and open to us joining at the picnic table with them so we could enjoy the sun! read more

Happened to stop by during happy hour which which gets you $3 off selected cocktails and apps. So many interesting cocktails to choose from. Our server was very helpful and helpful. We had the Convergence Zone and Explorer martini. Our server suggested the Convergence Zone...so good! Definitely a craft cocktail with so much depth. Our server also suggested the Chimchurri shrimp. Delightful and I don't usually like chimchurri since most places make it too sour or too heavily seasoned. Arugula and quinoa was a great pairing with this. read more

I just stopped in to Bluewater for a quick late lunch and I didn't want to leave. The ambiance is inviting and calm. I sat at the bar and Rachel made me an amazing blueberry martini! Sahil was my server. Both Sahil and Rachel were very fun to talk to. I had a cup of crab bisque that was insanely good!! Kudos to the chef. I always love stopping in to Bluewater!! read more

Food 5/5 Ambiance 4/5 Drinks 4/5 Service 2/5 Kinda sad, but we won't be back. FYI**Mandatory 20% gratuity no matter the party size** even if your service is shit, I think that's why they don't really care how long you wait or how well the service is. It's kinda sad. Full disclosure, we had 2 drinks each and shared 3 appetizers and it was $122 including mandatory tip. We waited 15 mins to be sat outside and were asked if we wanted to sit at a long bench (normally for 8 guest) but if so, we had to share it. We shared with 4 other people whom were asked roughly 5 minutes after they sat with us if they wanted to move to 1 of 2 open fire tables, they said yes and proceeded to move. However, we were never asked if we wanted to sit at the other fire table which I thought was kind of rude. I wouldn't recommend this place unless they make a few changes. Y'all can do better. read more

Bread, butter and spread were delicious. My fiancè and I detected small pieces of bacon in the house spread-- yum! Fish tacos were perfectly cooked, flaky and seasoned well. Purple cabbage slaw was lightly dressed with subtle heat. **A note on the table indicated they take 20 percent gratuity on every check. Not a huge fan of this when service/food is lacking. Fortunately the food was great here. Service was just okay. read more

Had an interesting experience here with a group. I love the vibe and the interior aesthetic, but definitely struggled to fit everything on the table. Loved that half of the food had a little bit of heat, but my cocktail was so spicy (never thought I'd say that lol) that I couldn't drink it. The service was great, until it got busier. Overall I enjoyed my time here. The menu is brief, but perfect for cocktails. Pricing is above average, but reasonable and the food playing is great. You can definitely get full eating appetizers, but the entrees have plenty on the plate too. The proteins were cooked well. I was surprised that they actually cooked their cauliflower the way I like. I would say the highlights were definitely the hummus plate and the bread with garlic butter and the Berry tarte. I'd definitely come back just to have those three things again. read more

Waited about 40 minutes for a table when there were empty spots available and it wasn't really that crowded. Then the service continued to be slow, slow, slow. We ordered mac and cheese, a bread and spreads platter, and a charcuterie board. The food was okay and was way overpriced for what was delivered. Glad I checked out another place in Everett, but feel absolutely no desire to return. read more

Came to blue water because my boyfriend and I wanted to just sit down, grab a drink, and bring our doggo along. I do love their patio section, it's right by the marina, you'd definitely be able to see the sunset from here. I love that dogs are allowed, we hate leaving him at home on a hot day so this was perfect. My boyfriend got a beer which he enjoyed and I got the sage lemonade, which was BOMB. If you really love the taste of sage then that drink is for you, it's very strong but I enjoyed it. All we ordered was the bread + spread plate because we just wanted something to snack on. It came with a load cut into slices, roasted garlic, sea salt & herb butter, and the house spread (which was a lite salmon spread). Unfortunately, I was really looking forward to the roasted garlic with my bread and it was just undercooked. In my opinion it should have been spreadable but it was way too hard for that. The house spread (salmon I think) just didn't do it for me either, not enough flavor. My rating comes mostly at the prices, god damn is this place expensive. I think it's alittle over priced for what you're getting. If it was cheaper, my rating would definitely be higher. Not to mention they add an automatic 20% gratuity to the bill. I usually tip this if the service is good but today it was very slow so. If you don't mind the prices, the vibe, drinks, and appetizer we got was good. read more

Perfect location to watch the sunset. Staff was friendly and provided great service. The food was fresh and tasty with a healthy twist. We were a group of 8. It was a little tight -'d had to add a chair as the booth was not big enough. Ordered the Halcyon Days off the signature cocktail menu, Our group ordered the Cod soft tacos, Pork pulled Sammie, Waygu steak salad, salmon with salad with bacon fat dressing, and the Caesar salad, crème bullee, chocolate decadence, and coffee ice cream. Pressed coffee could be shared between 2 people, Arnold palmers are not refillable, Cost a dollar to use a metal straw, gratuity is added. read more

Good spot for some food and drink on the Everett waterfront. Good atmosphere to hang out inside and out - especially some of the wooden art inside. They have a solid cocktail list, putting their own spin on classics like the martini. They use their own organic vodka, gin, and aquavit. I had the navigator martini, which was solid. The food menu looks solid too. I had the burger (special) which hit the spot. Not the best out there, but still tasty and I did appreciate the GF bun. I'd come back but probably try something else to eat. read more

Finally made it here, having had it on our list of places/distilleries to check out. Huge disappointment, though. Take the 1 Star reviews about service seriously. It started with the long wait at the "please wait to be seated sign," where staff walked by us repeatedly without acknowledgment. It was so long that we were about to head out the door when a gal who'd walked by us multiple times finally said "Ok, would you like a table?" Um ... no, we were just standing here for 8 minutes hoping to talk to you about your relationship with Jesus ... Anyway ... the place was only half filled. Once at the table, the same thing. No acknowledgement and after another 8 to 10 minute wait a gal who'd walked by us multiple times says, with a sigh, like we were somehow interrupting something, asked if we wanted to order drinks, food. It went on like this the rest of the evening. When drinks and food finally arrived, we enjoyed both. But, really had to wonder why it took 20 minutes for a bowl of chowder and two fish tacos to come out. During this time, we did not see a whole lot of food being delivered to tables, and again, half the chairs/tables were empty. All in all, just a bizarre level of somewhat passive aggressive wait service in an attractive place, with decent cocktails, decent food. It was a let down big enough that we won't be back (and I went there with the intention of also buying a $36 bottle of their gin for my home bar, but decided not to because I was just not sold on the place, or the brand). A 20% tip was not automatically added to our bill, as others have noted. I just checked the receipt after reading reviews here, worries that we'd paid for a tip we didn't want to pay. We tipped, but no where near our customary 20%. We have family members in the industry and know how important tips are, so it takes some pretty sloppy service for us to not tip at least a minimum. read more

Cocktails here are great! I really liked the mules they had to offer. The food is pretty good, I'd say it could have a little more variety for my preference, but the inside has a nice decor and relaxing vibe. read more

Does this look like a 70.00 dinner? 3 tacos, 1 lemoncello drop and one beer=70.00! The waitress was eh, not too friendly, and it was cold and she claimed the outside fireplace would just go out if we lit it. We bugged her 3-4 times before she annoyingly turned it on . It never "went out". She put a 20% tip for herself on the bill, ( even though we were only a party of 4) so that's why she had a "why bother" attitude. The tacos tasted good , but NOT worth 70.00 total bill. read more

Great place to visit when down on the marina has good patio seating and a fantastic chef driven menu.

Great atmosphere, service, food and beverage. All outstanding. Worth the time and money. Highly recommend this place.

Bah, the view, the location, even the food was good. The drink was actually delicious. I ordered the North Sea cocktail, which I would recommend. Strong and tasty. The wait time was very long. Roughly 20 mins to get our drinks to us. Server said it was busy night for them. That's fair. This is all fine in the grand scheme of things. The deduction of two stars. The waiter was flirtatious with my date. He grazes his palm on her shoulders as he walked by while sharing our foods coming out. Focused majority of the attention towards her. Which she appreciated. I felt like the 3rd wheel at my date. The food was good. If I'm actually hungry, I would not come here. $20 for a dinner plate with a very small portion size even for a little guy like myself. I had to have another snack after my $20 dish. It was an overall pretty average experience in terms of the quality of staff, and food. The view and location was great. read more

Had a group dinner next door, it was a beautiful summer evening so we decided to have a drink at Bluewater. Mid week, not very busy but service was very slow. Drinks finally came out, a friend requested to taste my drink . No wait staff around so I approached the bar to ask for a straw. I was told a "sharing straw" would cost a dollar. I explained I wasn't "sharing." The bartender rolled her eyes and told me, "you can just take one-but just this once!" Ridiculous to be treated this way-and then they reward themselves with 20% gratuity? Will not recommend and no plans to return, keep your lousy sharing straws! read more
