Great place to visit when down on the marina has good patio seating and a fantastic chef driven menu. My personal favorite is their cocktails which has inspired me to actually do some of my own mixology. Their Earl Gray infused vodka cocktail which I believe was called "convergent zone" was absolutely fantastic. read more

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

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

Good food, good drinks and good service. We will definitely return again and again. Beautiful location

Specializing in gin and vodka. It's nice to find a good place for gin cocktails. The cedar gimlet was really good. Nice space indoors, and a nice outdoor patio looking towards the marina. They even have a couple fireplace tables to keep warm with your cool cocktail. read more

Best gin & tonic ever! Need I say more? Okay, I confess to having a bowl of salmon chowder with sliced artisan bread & buttered before we started drinking. After all we are responsible adult drinkers. Chowder was delicious; thick & tasty! Lots of salmon. Bread was crusty and good, warmed with enough melted butter! I ordered a tall gin & tonic. Gin is distilled on the premise. Really smooth! Sip it! It creeps up on you and after one drink I was feeling no pain! But I'm a lightweight, as they say. The night was still young so I had another. This one was a short. I'm not dumb enough to get intoxicated or act stupid. By the end of the evening the kitchen had closed and this place doesn't stay open late, but just as well for us older folks. This place is a bit pricey but with such good booze, I won't complain. We may not come here often, but we will definitely be back! read more

Bluewater Distilling - Gin & tonic - Distilleries Near Me - Everett, Washington

I recently got the chance to stop by here for a quick drink and I was impressed! The location is gorgeous, with a huge patio for outdoor seating (the only option during COVID) right near the water with plenty of parking. Their food menu is somewhat limited, but had a variety of choices for their drink selection. The only downside was it took quite a while for someone to meet us at the counter so we could order. It seems there is a very limited waitstaff, and the bartender didn't bother to greet us or let us know where to stand. Once ordered, we were promptly served and the cocktails were delicious and well proportioned. I'm definitely eager to return and try their food or pick out a bottle of wine from their extensive shop. read more

Bluewater Distilling - Halcyon Days and North Sea - Distilleries Near Me - Everett, Washington

We were driving from Seattle to Snohomish for a wedding and wanted a nice restaurant along the way for lunch, not knowing what or when we'd be served at the wedding. Thanks to Yelp, we found ourselves at this unassuming building in the parking lot of the Everett marina. We could not have found a better place. We shared a small Marina Greens salad and the Wild Salmon + Ancient Grains. The food was delicious and very generous. Nice people too. I ended up buying a bottle of their gin. read more

Fantastic cocktails and food!! Cedar Gimlets (cedar sprig!!) and House Gin & Tonics (rosemary branch!!) Was seeking out a bar/restaurant with covered outdoor dining (weather forecast was for rain and 46 degrees--brr.) and was happy to find Bluewater Distilling. I read some reviews to try to figure out the outdoor dining situation (looked on the website and Facebook) and ended up calling. They promptly answered the phone call and answered my questions: - Yes, covered and uncovered areas for outdoor dining; - Yes, heaters and some tables with fire; - Yes, online menu (QR code) but order inside at the counter (we'll bring out the food); - No, No reservations, first come first serve. GREAT! And, thank you Kaitlin for responding to my inquisition with a very chipper attitude. I wanted to understand the protocols so our expectations were appropriate (and that we don't feel dumb trying to figure out what's going on). Non-pandemic, I'm not a fan of counter-ordering-for-dine-in, but what worked is that you can keep the tab open. When our server came out to light the table fire the server offered to take our order if we new what we wanted -- otherwise, come in and order. Also indicated that when they are bringing out drinks/food, they'll happily take re-orders. Not sure sure why the process has outdoor diners come in to settle the check (and we can avoid coming inside) but, that's in our groups skill set so we could manage. The 20% tip was fine. No one in our group had an issue with this and it made the check out process quicker. Plus -- if you can't fucking tip wait staff 20% during a pandemic, just consider take-out. nb. I was also able to purchase some pre-made cocktails to go. read more

Bluewater Distilling - The house Gin and Tonic with Rosemary branch. - Distilleries Near Me - Everett, Washington

My bestie and I mete here for happy hour. Free parking can be found in the parking lot. Discover is an accepted form of payment. Bluewater is an excellent place for those who enjoy spirits. I'm a wine and beer kinda gal so the crafty cocktails don't entice me. Indoors is open and chic with nice natural lighting. Happy Hour is offered Tuesday-Friday from 2pm-5pm. Food items are limited. Daily specials are offered and listed on the chalk board. I ordered a glass of Broadside Cab for $7 (hh) and my bestie ordered a glass of Alibi Amber for $4 (hh). We started out with the Charcuterie + Cheese plate for $10 (hh). We each ordered the Carnitas Verde for $20: pork, great northern white beans, carrots, poblano peppers, cotija cheese, verde salsa and cornbread. The flavor of this dish was tasty. We each would have preferred corn tortillas instead of the cornbread which we ended up wasting. Staff is friendly and efficient. Overall, Bluewater is a nice place to stop into and have a sip or two while waiting to be seated for food at Scuttlebutt. read more

Not kid friendly. Food is so-so, drinks are good, service was kind but not attentive. When my kid wanted Mac and cheese the server raved about it but forgot to mention it was spicy. Kind of a major thing to forget. My clams were sandy and under salted. When we ordered lemonade (again, for a kid), we got charged $1 for a stainless steel straw which is probably one of the most ridiculous upcharges I've ever seen on a restaurant bill. What was good: our pulled pork sandwich (which my son mostly ate because his Mac and cheese was too spicy), the ciabatta bread, the flourless chocolate cake, and our libations. Also the patio is nice. And I like that all checks have a 20% gratuity because I like that the staff are getting paid. So I guess come here for apps, drinks, and dessert, and leave the kids at home. read more

We actually got a recommendation from a different bar and it turned out to be really good. The thyme bandit (drink) was great. Getting a flight (3 half shots) is definitely the best if you want to try the infused vodkas but honestly you can pretty easily make some at home. A simple one you can try is combining 100 proof vodka that is low to medium quality (since the vodka takes in a lot of flavor the quality doesn't matter as much). Just cut up pears and fill them to the top of the mason jar, add one to two sticks of cinnamon and one clove. Then over the course of a week or two, flip them once a day and you should be set after a week. Honestly I have tried some of the other combinations but this is the best one and after a few weeks of infusing, they are pretty easy sipping vodkas (especially compared to the vodkas you start out with). And if you don't like sipping vodkas, add some apple martini mix for a cocktail. read more

The gin is so smooth and amazing. We had an excellent lunch and tasting . Thank you for the great service

Have been coming here since they opened the business at the Marina. The woodwork inside is beautiful and the unique blends of vodka and drinks are amazing; especially the Bloody Mary's! The charcuterie boards are great if you just want a drink, some snacks and to enjoy the view, especially if it's a nice enough day to sit outside. Their food is usually organic and a lot of choices are locally sourced. The specials are creative and the chefs talented. But, last night my partner & I were hoping to have done dinner and when we got there it looked to be full. So, went inside to check it out and the hostess was so unwelcoming and rude. When I asked about a small table that looked open...she snapped at me like I was idiot; saying it was a table for one. I didn't know that, but damn, she didn't need to bite my head off. I mean, I understand it's rough out there; understaffed, overworked and often unappreciated. But, I just asked a question and we were willing to wait, not after that. So, we decided to go somewhere else. We've come here from the beginning, eaten a lot of tasty food & drinks, brought friends & family, and spent A LOT of money. So, we won't let one bad experience keep us from coming back. I like to think next time it'll be a better experience. read more

Delicious drinks on the waters edge! I'm not a vodka drinker but Bluewater's mixologist just may have changed my mind. We took a class on infusing fruits in vodka and got fabulous recipes for eight drinks along the way. My husband loved the pulled pork sandwich and crab cakes as well. Well worth the drive from Seattle, bring friends! Besides the restaurant/patio/bar they offer fun sounding classes like yoga and paddle boarding that end with mixed drinks. Can't forget to mention- everything is make with local organic products! read more

We've eaten here at least a dozen times over the past 4 years and have never had anything less than a delicious meal. The kitchen creates weekly specials that always satisfy your taste buds and add a few cocktail specials to the list too that are creative and delicious! read more

A pleasant surprise. Nicely constructed dishes, decent service. Wonderful Bloody Mary's! Their shrimp appetizer is excellent and flavorful. Mixed green salad had a nice light vinaigrette and great pecorino cheese. Their fish tacos were solid and perfectly cooked and came with a nice handmade slaw. Mary's are exceptional and have a nice house made mix, that is heavy on the pickle juice and a nice heat, which I prefer. This place is worth a try. Check them out. read more

I was expecting a lot more. the food was decent, and servings were big. The service wasn't good. our server seemed annoyed and was not paying attention to us (looking around) whenever she came to our table (if she did at all). it was a rather long wait for everything (drinks, a napkin). I did like the drinks though. i would recommend only stopping by for a few drinks and sitting at the bar. read more

The food here has increased flavor & they have a lovely patio area. The menu is not large but again great flavors. The service was lacking and the add an automatic 20% gratuity which we tend to tip at least that if the service is good. read more

Bluewater Distilling - Nordic Fire - Distilleries Near Me - Everett, Washington

Visited primarily because it was walking distance (about 5 minutes) from hotel indigo, and because they seemed to be following social distancing standards better than other locations in the facility. We went during happy hour and between us had several drinks an appetizer and 2 entrees. The drinks were all great, the jasmine lemoncello martini, old man by the sea, and strawberry fields were our favorite. We shared the charcuterie, the almonds and olives were great compliments to the cheeses. My husband loved the cured meats. The fish fry was light and very well cooked, the tarter was a little thinner than we like but clearly scratch made. Mac and cheese was smoky and delicious. The drinks were definitely the best part, smooth and very well crafted! Overall a lovely meal and a great stop if you're in Everett. read more

Food was good. Nice atmosphere. Super slow albeit friendly service. Plan to be there a while and pay a lot. Drinks are reasonably priced. Food is way overpriced. The mandatory 20% gratuity is kind of a pisser because it doesn't give the staff any reason to provide great service. read more

This was our second visit. We enjoyed the custom cocktails and distilled vodka, gun and the aquavit. Friendly waitstaff and bartenders (more like beverage crafting alchemists). The apple fennel salad was perfect with herb roasted chicken! Moist and flavorful chicken is hard to come by these days. The pasta special with shrimp appetizer was perfect and had so many different flavors, it was boss! Could of had a bit more pasta. Clams were amazing and full of bacon! The bread was amazing and so t forget to ask for bitter. It is the most delicious herb butter you have had. Enjoy and know that you are in good hands! read more

Friendly, knowledge and generous staff. Amazing spirits. Craft cocktails to die for and great food. The clams came with a whole loaf of ciabatta and were perfectly prepared. All of the drinks we tried were amazing and the staff steered us in the right direction with all our choices. Jay our bartender was so cool and made sure we were having a great time. Very classy and upscale place that we can't wait to get back to. read more

The drinks and food were delicious. Fairly priced drinks and we loved the fish tacos and garlic bread. The location and ambiance was good. What made our experience great was our server was very knowledgeable about the menu and she had only worked there for a few days. We will definitely be back soon and want to sit outside at one of their firepit tables. read more

Quality craft cocktails and delicious food! We went in to try their spirits and while the tasting bar was packed, we scored a table inside on the bistro side. We ordered at the front and took our seat- water was brought out first and the drinks came pretty quickly after and then our breads and spreads board. That disappeared so quickly! We all thought we were still full from lunch- but we were wrong! The spreads- a bacon, cream cheese spread, a garlic butter and roasted garlic on the side paired with warm fresh bread! Yum! And it was great to go with our cocktails! Eddie ordered a drink that was a version of an old fashioned, the North Sea- strong, delicious and a sipper- made with Rye Whiskey. I ordered the limoncello drop with a raspberry infused vodka and their own Bluewater Limoncello. Robert got the Commander Martini, crafter with Bluewater Vodka, orange bitters and a lemon and orange twist. I loved my cocktail! The boys enjoyed each of theirs and our server let me know I could try some of the retail vodkas on the bistro side- free of charge! Infused vodkas- yes! They do sell flights on the bar/tasting side. I had tiny samples of the raspberry infused vodka, the whiskey, blood orange infused vodka and the elderflower infused vodka (with cardamom- which I don't care for, but my server convinced me to try!). I loved all the infused vodkas most- but the elderflower was actually my favorite! Yup- the one I didn't want to try, the one my server convince me to try- that's the one I loved the most! I seriously considered buying a bottle- but I was worried about my luggage weight- and for good reason, I was at 48.5 lbs when I checked my bag!!! Next time! Can't wait to plan a return trip with my other half! read more

We have been fans of this restaurant/distillery for many years. Their food never comes from a package, it's very fresh, cooked by order and delicious! Cocktails are ON POINT! They also sell the majority of the products they make so that you can enjoy your favorite drink at home. The staff is great, engaging and friendly. My favorite dish on the menu is the hummus plate and love the Gimlet cocktail. The ambiance is cool, we love outdoors in the summer and on cooler days we sit at the bar to watch the bartender at work. 10/10 highly recommend. read more

We came here the other day with another couple at their recommendation. We were promptly served water, and water in one of their cute bottles was left on the table. While actually waiting for the other couple, the bread plate was ordered and a drink. We sat near the bar and was able to watch the bartender (she was busy all night!). We got the drink, the other couple came about 15 mins later as so did the bread. More drinks were ordered, and food (small menu) was ordered shortly after. Everyone enjoyed their drinks. The food/entrees took AN HOUR to get to the table!! AN HOUR!! We had to ask about the food twice. The bread and spreads were really good. Some type of herb butter, bacon butter and roasted garlic cloves (they could have been roasted a little bit longer they weren't spreadable, but still edible). When the entrees finally came, I can't account for everyone, they all seemed to enjoy their dish. I had ordered the rustic mac. It was "good". Had a nice kick, but the pasta was a little overcooked. Now about the bill. Yes, it is posted right on the table and the menu that 20% is already added onto the bill. Well that's all they got. The other couple paid the bill so I don't know what it turned out to be. If it was just my husband and I, we are usually big tippers at 25-30% depending on the service. But if you are to mandatory an amount, that's all they're going to get. I know it is not the servers fault (ours was pretty attentive, I don't remember her name), but that should be something they should take up with their employer. But I won't need to worry about the mandatory 20%, I don't think I'll come back here. At least not by our choice. read more

A real gem on the Everett waterfront, Bluewater has lovingly made craft cocktails and lighter fare. I haven't had a cocktail there I didn't like -- last time I ordered a Bloody Mary where I was given a choice of infused vodka (horseradish, please!). Served with smoked olives, it was a perfect Sunday morning drink. As for the food: the food is on the lighter side, so if you are hungry the best approach would be to order a few things and split amongst the group as portions are small. I always order the fish tacos -- they're always fresh and perfectly cooked. The patio is dog friendly, and our server made sure there was water in the bowl for my pup. read more

Great drinks and appetizers, but didn't realize until later they add a mandatory 20% gratuity. I normally tip well, but in this case, we didn't get approached by the server for about 15 minutes on a slow day. I like having the option of adjusting the tip amount if needed. read more

Food is delicious and cocktails are well thought out and more craft cocktails than classic cocktails. Staff always seems nice.

A good place for seasonal drinks and food. They make their own vodkas. The food is unique and well planned.

Good and friendly service, blah food and bad drink, still trying to resolve being overcharged about $175. A group of us asked for and paid on separate checks. I noticed on my cc statement that I had been charged for everyone's food and drink! I sent an email and didn't get a response. I called last week and left a message. Someone called me back, was unapologetic and said they'd look into it and call me the next day. They didn't. I will need to call again. Food had little flavor and was overpriced. I rarely drink, so I could tell that they must have forgotten to put alcohol in the first drink. It was a mojito that, instead of being made with fresh mint and a little sugar, had a mint leaf as garnish and was made with sweet and sour mix, which was disgusting. Ordered a second drink that had the normal amount of alcohol. Shocked at the cost. At those prices, we all expected great food and drinks. Add to that disappointment that I was charged well over two hundred dollars for an appetizer and two drinks. read more

Nice atmosphere; great drinks; decent food. The Marina Greens salad is a tasty fiber vehicle that I've gotten twice, and it has been fresh both times. I got the seafood chowder today, and though packed with salmon goodness, smelled and tasted fishy. I hate that, but still had no problem eating it all, so it wasn't that bad I guess. Though I'm usually a beer guy, I got a Time Bandit today, per the wife's recommendation. This was not a mistake; I see myself getting another one of the gin, peach, lemon, and thyme treats. Really refreshing. Get one. read more

A hidden treasure in Everett. Delicious drinks. Tasty food. Excellent happy hour menu.

You order your food and drink at the door, there's no servers per say. The drinks were good, the chicken club was very mediocre. One of the smallest slices of Chicken I've ever seen, especially for $20. They charged me 20% gratuity, even though no one served me anything. Their receipt even says "20% gratuity for party of 5 or more". When I confronted the gal, she told me they're doing it different today. I guess we won't be going back because they can't set the proper expectations. Is it really that hard to just be honest and upfront with your new customers? read more
