The Ten-01 Pub Has Spent 16 Months Earning Back a Hewitt Avenue Address

Some addresses carry weight. 1001 Hewitt Ave is one of them.

For decades it was The Anchor Tavern, then The Anchor Pub. The last chapter under that name ended badly — the owner convicted of child rape, the building sold at public auction, the sign taken down. When Holly Heath and Shane Ratigan bought the place in 2024, they had a choice: carry forward a name locals associated with a dark chapter, or start fresh while honoring what made the address worth saving.

They chose fresh. They named it The Ten-01 — after the address at 1001 Hewitt — and opened on January 17, 2025. Sixteen months in, it’s working.

The Building Has Earned Its History

The structure at 1001 Hewitt has been a bar since the 1930s, but the building itself dates to 1907. High ceilings, worn wood, walls that have absorbed a century of conversations. Heath and Ratigan knew this when they bid on it.

“We’ve had our eye on this location for quite some time — it’s an incredible space in a historical building that we absolutely love,” the owners told My Everett News at opening. They spent months on renovations, cleaning up the space and the reputation simultaneously. The result is a room that feels lived-in without feeling tired. Long bar, booths along the wall, enough space to move without apologizing to strangers.

The Food

The kitchen does burgers, house-made pizzas, pub-style appetizers, and tacos. Nothing precious about any of it — these are things made to go with beer. The classic cheeseburger is half-price on Tuesdays, which is one of the smarter things a neighborhood bar can do if it wants regulars to show up mid-week.

The price range is pub-appropriate. If you want elevated tasting menus you’re a few blocks east at Luca or The New Mexicans. The Ten-01 is not that. It’s the bar version of a homecooked meal — familiar and good.

The Train Beer Tradition

This is the detail everyone brings up first, because it earns it: whenever a train rolls past on the BNSF tracks right behind the building — which happens regularly on the corridor that runs through central Everett — you get $2 domestic draft beers. This is a tradition from the Anchor Tavern era that the new owners kept. Correct decision. It’s the kind of touch that tells you a bar understands what makes a neighborhood bar work.

Freight trains on the BNSF line run through the evening and night. Regulars have been known to track them. We’re not saying you should, but we understand why.

Events and the Weekly Calendar

Thursdays: trivia at 7 PM. Live music is a regular weekend feature — the grand opening in January 2025 featured local bands Sugar Push and The True Romans, and the music programming has continued. Heath and Ratigan also own The Pinehurst Pub in North Seattle, so they have a working model for this. Regular events, consistent specials, a room that makes the next visit feel obvious.

Where It Fits on the Hewitt Corridor

The Hewitt Avenue food and drink scene has built itself into something genuinely interesting. Within walking distance of The Ten-01: Obsidian Beer Hall two blocks east, Vintage Cafe (50 years strong), R Harn Thai, STRGZR Coffee and Kitchen, and Luca Italian for a proper dinner. The Ten-01 slots in as the working pub — the place you end the night after dinner, or start the evening before a show at Angel of the Winds two blocks away.

The Bottom Line

Go, especially on a night when you can hear the trains. The address has earned a second chance and the current owners are honoring it. The building is a piece of Everett going back to 1907. The beer is cold, the food is solid, and $2 domestic drafts when freight passes through is one of those things you’ll be explaining to visitors for years.
