I would've preferred traditional white rice instead of the bacon-fried rice, and I specifically asked for my eggs over hard, but they came out over easy. The patty was delicious, though! The Hawaiian mac salad was a disappointment. The fresh onion was so overpowering that it took away from the rest of the flavors. I'm glad I tried it, but I wouldn't order it again or recommend it. I still love Tides, but the prices have definitely gone up, and it's getting harder to justify the cost. At this point, Tides is more of a special-treat kind of place for me rather than somewhere I'd go regularly.

But you're there for the company and the TV screens and I was there for the Tuesday night trivia 2 weeks in a row while I was home visiting family. They have Taco Tuesday and you get some pretty good tacos for a cheap price! They also have other daily specials. Drinks were flowing and employees were super friendly. Good to go up to the bar to order as they're not really wandering around too much. Lots of people here to play pool as well. Plenty of televisions showing plenty of sports things.

I had to refrain from finishing it quickly it was so delicious and smooth. We came for drinks and ended up also getting a charcuterie board. The entire experience was tailored to great customer service with a high end feel. The board was beautifully laid out and had a variety of meats, cheese, jam, hummus and toasted bread. It fed three of us with some left over bites. The drinks are crafted by a bartender who clearly knows what they're doing. Perfect balance of alcohol and mixer in very cute glassware. The bar is intimate. When you walk in there is a crescent shaped booth to the right followed by the bar with stools. Then to the left are single booths lining the wall to the back of the bar. We sat in the crescent booth and had a great spot to people watch and enjoy the vibe of the bar. The room is red. The chairs are leather. And the music is jazzy with an old school Sinatra feel at times. Once the bar was full and the line was out the door the bartender came and slide a door open between the crescent booth and bar. Everyone in the bar halted as he revealed a red room with more seating and neon lights. It was entertaining watching the bar come to life on a Saturday early evening. It gets busy so get in for happy hour and enjoy discounted crafty cocktails and bites.

I love some of their seasonal brews, in particular, their Nomadic IPA. A broad selection of brews is one of the highlights; you'll doubtless find one that you find special. My only regret: I wish I could go a lot more often! Love the place.

It's the kind of neighborhood spot where you can easily hang out for an afternoon. The staff was incredibly friendly and happy to let us sample a few beers before deciding. I ended up ordering their Mimosa cider along with Tap #1, and both were refreshing and perfect for a warm summer day. One small disappointment was that the Yelp swag bags hadn't arrived yet, so we weren't able to pick them up during our visit. That was out of the brewery's control, though, and the staff apologized and were very accommodating.

The Gig Harbor location closes at the end of December ( of 2025). We were over in Gig Harbor this past weekend to see a friend and were actually surprised to to see this tasting room still open. We knew that Heritage has closed many tasting room locations already and just assumed that the Gig Harbor location closed some time ago. But nope, they are still around for a few more weeks. We got some spirits here. I got some miniature bottles of vodka and whiskey and Steve got a spirit that has an amazing Earl Grey flavor so we definitely had a nice purchasing "Hurrah" here before this location closes.

I haven't seen the usual setup, but I'm assuming there's usually tables and chairs in the middle. THE FOOD: - Kitchen is currently closed, but outside food is more than welcome. Snack foods (chips, peanuts, similar) available at register. THE CIDERS: - I had a flight and they were all amazing. Standouts were: vanilla bean (sweet but not too sweet; light, refreshing, true vanilla flavor) and dark maple (not saccharine sweet; just on the edge with a dryness and truly outstanding flavor... dangerously delicious). - I kept expecting all of them to be overly sweet; but they all kept surprising me. Watermelon was another favorite. SERVICE: - Quick and kind with a smile. You'll love the vibes. SIDE NOTES: - We traveled from the Seattle area as Locust Cider had the Winchester Mystery House pinball machine on loan for the weekend. Only 500 were made, and this is currently the only one in the state. Your next closest is Next Level Museum in Oregon if you want to play this extraordinary machine. It's worth it! - We came on a salsa lesson night, so most pinball machines were blocked by tables. That's alright because 7 were unblocked and provided plenty of entertainment while the salsa lessons happened. - I think pinball + salsa music + sipping refreshing ciders is the new best way to enjoy a Saturday night.

There's an indoor space downstairs, and upstairs space with a bar and video games, uncovered and covered outdoor patio areas with equipment for live musicians, and a little forested enclave with seating and a fireplace. Beyond their awesome ambiance, their ciders were all varied and delicious. They have 26 taps to choose from. We tried a bunch of their 4oz pours. My favorites turned out to be (surprisingly) their seasonal Chai and their Honey Pear, but each one that I tasted was unique and flavorful. I felt the intentionality in each one. They have a full food menu that includes gluten free tater tots and chicken nuggets. Service was awesome, by the way. Two of the kegs we wanted to try had blown, so the bartender brought us a few extra pours for having to wait. I'm super bummed that I never made it back for a second visit. I implore you to try this place if you haven't!
