Looking for a neighborhood hangout with a solid drinks list after Toggle’s closed?
We rounded up a (certainly-not-exhaustive) list of five watering holes in and near Everett where you can grab a drink after work with friends, belly up to the bar for a fresh pour, and buy quality wines, craft beer, cider and more.
The Independent Beer Bar (Everett)
The Independent Beer Bar is just a five minute walk up Hewitt from Toggle’s.
The local 21+ hangout offers “16+ taps of great beer and ciders, a thoughtfully chosen wine list, and a hefty bottle list” as well as “shuffleboard, a few TVs and great conversation.” Catch The Independent on the last Wednesday of the month for Trivia Night.
Bartenders will happily fill your growler, and you can buy any of their bottles or cans to go. They’re also dog-friendly “as long as your dog is friendly.” Ukrainian dumplings are available until late, and customers can also bring in their own food.
The Independent is located at 1801 Hewitt Ave. and is open everyday, from 4 p.m. to midnight Monday through Saturday and 2 p.m. to 10 p.m. Sunday.
