4 Puget Sound patios 🍽️ Where to dine and drink outdoors
3Grabbing food or drinks with your friends outside is a great option these days. Here are four spots around Puget Sound with outdoor seating, nice views and good food and drinks!
Cabernets and IPAs Bar and Wine Shop in Mukilteo:
Cabernets and IPAs' name outlines their specialties: wine and beer. Bottles of wine are also available for purchase, at 30% off to-go prices. The bar also serves cocktails, and guests can order food from a menu featuring home-cooked recipes based on the owners’ family favorites. Options include flatbread, charcuteries plates, and pickled hammers – dill pickles surrounded by cream cheese and ham. An outdoor patio with umbrella-covered tables offers a stunning view of the Mukilteo ferry dock and waterfront. It’s located at 204 Lincoln Ave. and is open daily.
Narrows Brewing Company in Tacoma:
Located at the Narrows Marina, Narrows Brewing features an outdoor seating area on the deck with picture-perfect views of the Tacoma Narrows Bridge. Proximity to the water also means guests can arrive by both land and sea. All the beer is brewed on-site in a 15-barrel brewhouse. Options include porters, stouts, blonde ales, and IPA’s – including the hoppy flagship Octo IPA. The brewery offers a small menu of bites but guests are welcome to bring in food from neighboring restaurants. Narrows Brewing is located at 9007 S. 19th St. and is open daily.
Ounces Taproom and Beer Garden in West Seattle:
Ounces has both a covered outdoor structure and a sizable beer garden. It exclusively features Washington-made beer, wine, root beer, and cider in 30 rotating taps. There is also a calendar of rotating food trucks – each day, a different one parks next to the taproom and serves up flavorful options. Ounces is located at 3809 Delridge Way S.W. and is open Tuesday – Sunday through January 2022 (check the website for schedule changes thereafter.)
Stoup Brewing in Kenmore:
The beloved Ballard-based craft brewery Stoup expanded to a large taproom in Kenmore, and it includes retractable windows that open up the indoors, as well as a huge street-level patio. Stoup’s beer options are available in cans and on-tap. The food menu includes elevated bar food like woodfire pizza, empanadas, and meatball sliders – and for dessert, there’s a soft-serve ice cream menu. They’re open daily, with happy hour every Monday through Thursday from 3-5. The taproom is located at 6704 N.E. 181st St.
