Having fun with friends at the Tides Tavern

January 24, 2013

Tides Tavern Manager Brett Ruffler was a blur of activity as he rushed fresh lunch orders to hungry customers at the iconic restaurant and watering hole Monday, Jan. 21st, 2013. LEE GILES III/Staff photographer (The Peninsula Gateway) The Tides Tavern has been popular and long-lasting fixture in the Gig Harbor community since the early 1970's. Staff photographer Lee Giles III was out and about Monday at lunchtime to capture a few images of area patrons enjoying the food, friends and some spirits while enjoying the view of Gig Harbor Bay from the panoramic windows of the tavern.

Coastal Living: America's Best Seafood Dives 2012

May 25, 2012

The 2012 List

What exactly is a seafood dive? Writer and fried food expert Steve Millburg puts it best, saying that dive means " a seafood restaurant with a casual atmosphere and great food. A wine list might be OK, but a beer list is better. The best dives prepare food simply but carefully, using only fresh ingredients. Prospective dives earn bonus points for being on the water, making their own sauces, and offering live entertainment—quadruple bonus points if it's Jimmy Buffett," he says.

This year, we asked him to narrow it down to the 50 best.

Tides Tavern, Gig Harbor
Noisy and friendly, the Tides feels authentically Pacific Northwestern. The local oyster shooters and craft beers are especially good.
