It may be more than 3,000 miles away from New England, but that hasn’t stopped the folks at the perpetually-crowded Tides Tavern in Gig Harbor, Washington from putting a Puget Sound spin on the classic creamy chowder—chock full of clams, bacon and potato—which has turned the 40-year-old restaurant into a local landmark.
“Served up with a stunning waterfront view, [Tides Tavern’s] famous clam chowder, award-winning fish and chips and specially crafted Tides Anniversary IPA is an experience not to be missed,” says general manager Kristin Bergeson. “Marking 40 years of business this summer, the Tides Tavern has become a dining destination and iconic watering hole for locals and tourists alike.”
