Tapped Public House Opens on the Everett Waterfront — And That Rooftop Is the Real Deal

Q: Is Tapped Public House at the Port of Everett worth visiting?

A: Yes — Tapped Public House opened March 2, 2026 at 1420 Seiner Drive on Restaurant Row at the Port of Everett. It features the largest waterfront rooftop deck in Snohomish County, a scratch kitchen with Pacific Northwest-inspired dishes, and a full bar with craft beer, cider, and wine. The Bay Shrimp Roll is the move.

Tapped Public House Opens on the Everett Waterfront — And That Rooftop Is the Real Deal

We’ve been watching the Port of Everett’s Restaurant Row come together for a couple of years now, and when Tapped Public House threw open its doors on March 2, 2026, it felt like the waterfront finally clicked into place. Not because the other spots aren’t good — The Net Shed and Rustic Cork have been holding it down since December — but because Tapped brought something nobody else on Restaurant Row has: the largest open-air rooftop deck on the waterfront in Snohomish County.

That’s not marketing copy. We went up there. It’s the real deal.

Where It Is and How to Get There

Tapped Public House sits at 1420 Seiner Drive, Everett, WA 98201 — second floor of the Port’s new Restaurant Row building at Waterfront Place, Fisherman’s Harbor district. Head down the waterfront toward the marina and you’ll see the new construction. Parking is available in the Waterfront Place lot — it’s free and there’s plenty of it, even on weekends. Walking from the parking area to the restaurant takes maybe three minutes along the water, and honestly that walk alone is worth something on a clear Pacific Northwest day.

The Rooftop: Yes, You Should Go Up There

The rooftop deck faces the marina and opens up to panoramic views of Possession Sound. On a clear evening, you’ve got the water, the boats, the Olympic Mountains in the distance, and if you time it right, a sunset that’ll make you understand why people choose to live in this corner of the Pacific Northwest despite what the winters do to your soul. The deck is open-air, which in Everett means “bring a layer,” but Tapped has thought this through — they’ve done right by their guests’ comfort.

Rooftop seating is first-come, first-served. There’s no reservation system for the deck specifically, so if you want it on a Friday evening, show up early or accept that you might be waiting with a pint in hand. We can think of worse fates.

The Food: PNW Scratch Kitchen With a Waterfront Twist

Tapped has been operating their Mill Creek location long enough to have a menu that works. The Port of Everett location carries those favorites plus some waterfront-specific additions. The standout new item is the Bay Shrimp Roll — it’s port-exclusive and it was clearly developed with this specific location in mind. Pacific Northwest shrimp, fresh, not overdressed. Get it.

The broader menu leans into approachable pub food done with more care than you’d expect: tacos, loaded tots, sliders, mac and cheese. The scratch kitchen commitment means nothing is coming out of a bag — these are real ingredients, actually cooked. Prices land in the $14–$22 range for entrées, which for waterfront dining with those views is reasonable. You’re not paying a tourist tax for the scenery, which we appreciate.

The beverage program is solid: craft beer, cider, wine. You won’t find the most adventurous tap list in town — this isn’t a brewery — but what they have is well-curated and changes with the season. For the locals who just want a cold beer with a marina view and a plate of something good, Tapped has figured this out.

The Vibe

Tapped Public House is a public house in the truest sense: this is a place for everyone. Families are welcome. Dogs haven’t been confirmed for the deck, so check before you show up with your lab. The crowd on a weekend skews local — people who live in Everett, work at the port district businesses, or drove down from the north end specifically for the waterfront experience. It doesn’t feel like a tourist trap, which given the setting is genuinely impressive.

Service at the grand opening week was, predictably, finding its footing — they opened to a ribbon-cutting crowd of over 100 people — but the staff was warm and things moved smoothly. This is a chain’s second location learning to be its own thing, and early signs are that it’s going to earn its place on Restaurant Row.

What the Waterfront Needed

The Port of Everett’s $15.2 million Restaurant Row project has been coming together in stages, and Tapped Public House is the piece that turns the district from “a few new spots” into “a destination.” The Net Shed does fresh seafood. Rustic Cork does wine. Tapped does the full pub experience with the outdoor space that ties it all together. When Marina Azul Cocina and Cantina opens later in 2026, bringing their elevated Mexican concept and 100+ tequila selection to the row, this stretch of Seiner Drive is going to be something genuinely special for Snohomish County.

But right now, today, Tapped is worth the drive down to the waterfront on its own. Go for the rooftop. Stay for the Bay Shrimp Roll. Come back when the weather breaks.
