On the Water Since 1973
Built in 1910 as the West Side Mercantile, this building has always been the heart of Gig Harbor’s waterfront. From its early days as a general store to the legendary era of “3-Fingered Jack” Miller, it has remained a local landmark.
In 1973, Peter Stanley transformed the space into the Tides Tavern. For over 50 years, the Stanley family nurtured it into a beloved community gathering place. Coincidentally, 1973 was also the year our founder, Budd Gould,
opened Mad Anthony’s, the restaurant that would become Anthony’s.
In 2026, the Tides begins a new chapter as part of the Anthony’s family. We’re not here to reinvent it.
We’re here to keep the grill hot, the taps flowing, and the tradition alive.
Whether it’s your first visit or your hundredth, we’re glad you’re here.
Grab a seat, have your ID ready (21+), and let’s start the next chapter.

About Us
The building that now houses the Tides Tavern was built by Axel Uddenburg in 1910 and served the area as a general store. Located next to the “People’s Dock”, the town’s only public ferry landing, it was called the West Side Mercantile. The ferry dock provided a steady stream of customers through the first half-century. With the end of prohibition in the 1930s, a tavern was added, and a tradition of good times began. Beer was sold for 10 cents a glass, and 20 cents a bottle. The tavern never made much money, but no one cared. Through the years, the building has seen a number of colorful owners, not the least of which was “Three Fingered Jack,” a Jerry Garcia look-alike whose tenor voice resonated across the dance floor on Friday and Saturday nights in the late 60s and early 70s.
