Tides Tavern closed for a month for maintenance

The Tides Tavern, recently acquired by Anthony’s Restaurants, is closed for a month for kitchen maintenance. 

The Gig Harbor institution made the announcement in a Facebook post on Monday, Jan. 26. 

Anthony’s announced on Jan. 13 that it was purchasing the Tides from the Stanley family of Gig Harbor. Peter Stanley and his son, Dylan Stanley, owned The Tides for 53 years.

Seattle-based Anthony’s owns 32 restaurants in the Pacific Northwest, including one on North Harborview Drive in Gig Harbor. 

The Facebook announcement sought to assure customers that the “Tides is remaining Tides,” and the closure is only for “regular kitchen maintenance.” Anthony’s did not reply to an email seeking clarification on the closure. 

On Tuesday, Jan. 27, trucks for plumbing and painting contractors were in the parking lot of The Tides.
