If you ever spent time in Everett you are sure to have herd
others complaining about the lack of things to do in town, and they couldn’t be
more wrong. There are many things to do during the day but the nightlife is
something that tends to stand out above the rest, but many of the great places aren’t
well known.
If you’re of drinking age and like the bar scene it’s easy
to find things to do any night of the week. One of the most talked about things
to do at night is the Hewitt run. For those who aren’t from the area there is a
street, Hewitt Ave, with bars all the way down to the waterfront.
The Hewitt run is shorter now then it was in the past, most anyone
who participates in the Hewitt run starts from either the Anchor, which is on
the end of near the water or the Y Nott, near Broadway. The Hewitt run is a
favorite for 21st birthdays since you are usually able to get free
birthday drinks at each bar.
The Anchor is another fantastic place to spend your night
with friends and an overall good crowd. With a large calendar on the wall you are able
to see the different events they have going on each month. They are always
having someone come in a play live music on the stage with room to dance in
front and in the summer months, you can find a large garage like door opened to
a gated area where you can enjoy the music while staying cool.
Kenny Wilson, a regular at the Anchor, says “I enjoy the atmosphere
as far as the music and the people who work there.” The people who work there
are about the same age as the customers making it easy to strike up a
conversation with them.
If you do decided to venture to the Anchor be sure to pay
attention to the train tracks near. They serve “train beers” which means when a
train goes get in line at the bar and you get a one dollar schooner.
Machael Decelles, who lives near downtown Everett, has done
her fair share of bar hopping through the city but one stands out the most for
her, Tony V’s Garage. Decelles says “They have all styles of music and a good
surrounding people, a good set up and it’s just a good time.”
If you are looking for a more calm environment, The White
Buffalo might be more your style. With TV’s mounted all around and typically
softer music compared to the others it’s a good place for people who just want
to hang out and enjoy their friends.
The White Buffalo is also filled with pool tables, enough
that you are almost always sure to have a place to play. To make it even better
they offer free pool every Monday. It,
however, is not part of the Hewitt run.
The problem with Everett is not its lack of things to do but
many people aren’t aware of the hidden gems in the city. If you spend a little
time looking and trying out the different places you are sure to find a place
that fits you perfectly.
