A very nice, intimate place to hear music, and the patrons are there to hear it, not talk over it. Good handmade, oven-fired pizza too 🙂.
Have you heard of Howard Mack? Or Sandy Carter? Me neither, but a very beautiful woman I know invited me to see them play at Port Gardner Bay Winery last Saturday. I picked up the beautiful woman and drove to downtown Everett. During the day, Everett was hosting an art walk, so many of the streets were closed off. Fortunately, the winery on Rucker was easy to find and there was plenty of parking on the nearby streets.
The beautiful woman held my hand while we walked in. Her friends had reserved a table right up front where we settled in and chatted with Howard. He was well dressed right down to his unique shoes. He promised to put on a good show and recommended the pizza.
A woman came by and explained that when we knew what we wanted, we could order at the bar in the back. We decided to get some drinks and wait for the rest of our group before getting food. There were a number of wines on the list from the winery, but we were not in a wine mood, so I had a beer and the beautiful woman had a cider.
The friends showed up and we went through all the usual negotiations to find a pizza that everyone would like. The beautiful woman’s favorite pizza is Hawaian style, but she was shy about ordering such a controversial pie. The solution was obvious - we got a half and half Hawaian and sausage.
The smell of pizza hit us a bit before our pie hit the table. There was a hint of burned bread in the smell, but our pizza was fine. It was just the right size for four people and was generously covered with toppings. The beautiful woman and I quickly polished off warm pineapple and ham while the friends ate up their half. Everyone pronounced their half delicious.
Howard Mack stated that the music would be an eclectic mix and proved himself right. Sandy provided some jazz guitar riffs on a few songs and steel guitar for the rest. Both of the guys did a good job on everything from Buck Owens to Neil Young. They hit all the right notes for the somewhat older crowd. One thing they did that you don’t see much is that they invited a couple of folks from the crowd up to do guest vocals. The show went on for around 2 and a half action packed hours.
I would like to report about prices, but the friends of the beautiful woman picked up the check. From what I saw on the menu, everything was quite reasonable even after making a donation to the musician’s tip jar.
It was a lovely evening and, who knows, maybe the beautiful woman and I will find occasions to go back a few times.
Great music listening room and the pizza is delicious! Nice wine offerings also.
Very charming and homey atmosphere! Highly recommended!
Great local spot in downtown Everett for live music and drinks. They have wine, beer, soda, pizza, and free popcorn, plenty of popcorn. Live music every Friday and Saturday night. Tables are available. Cool art and a fun weekend night!
Great music, good wine and pizza with a great atmosphere. Feels like coming home to friends.
Great space and patrons. Local good musicians. Great wines choices plus their own. Newly added menu items
LIVE MUSIC!!!!! Free popcorn. Fun atmosphere. A little bit hard to find because the door sign is for the engineering firm it shares the space with. The menu was small, but the pizza was good. The wine was excellent (the sampler is the way to go, it's a tasting room too) and everything was reasonably priced.
Best engineered wine and pizza in Everett. BYO toppings if you want!
We had a delightful time tonight. Great wine, good friends, and music with Outside The Lines??

Had a nice evening and decided to stop in on the way home hoping for a tasting, that was accommodated for. It was a tad different than the tastings I was use too with that being we went up to the bar for the next pour instead of someone coming to our table to keep the pours coming, no worries with that though! The pizza looked and smelled delicious as it was going around us to other tables. $9 tasting 6 pours? You kidding me!?!? We lucked out on a band night too with this cute band playing some oldie but goodies. As a newer Everett resident that loves his wine I for one was joyed to see a venue so close to home to eliminate a drive. I will return!
This winery is so much fun. It's like being in your best friends living room with all the comforts of his wine, pizza and music.
Great atmosphere. I personally love the Thursday night open mics. A welcoming place for everyone.
Besides the great wine, fantastic music (Open Mic Night on Thursdays) Chris now makes pizza like Quonset Pizza in Chicago, our hometown! A-MAZing!!!
Wandering across the country and I noticed there weren't many wine places here in the Everett area. Popped in here and loved almost every wine I had. Talked with the owner (and several other locals) with interesting stories. Great place to visit, really good and unique wines. They were getting ready for open mic night and I'm sure it would have been fun.
