Obsidian Beer Hall: Where Downtown Everett's Beverage Scene Just Got a Whole Lot Cooler
Nestled snugly into the former digs of Toggles (RIP), Obsidian Beer Hall burst onto the scene this April, bringing with it a refreshing gust of PNW brews, wines, and non-alcoholic alternatives.
Picture this: you stroll in, greeted by the comforting embrace of cushy couches and sleek leather chairs, all set against the backdrop of a modernized historical space. Tall brick walls, skylights casting a celestial glow, and open rafters give Obsidian its unique character, while the sprinkling of cool art adds that extra dash of personality.
But wait, there’s more. Craig, the brains behind the operation, let us in on a little secret during our recent visit—plans are afoot to transform the sprawling space behind the bar into an art gallery. Talk about raising the bar, quite literally.
Initially only open Thursday through Sunday, Obsidian has since expanded its hours to include Wednesdays. But not just any Wednesday, mind you—it's Wine Wednesday, where you can indulge in all-day happy hour wine for a mere $5, or opt for a Rainier at $4 a pop.
Now, onto the main event: the brews. Obsidian proudly showcases a rotating lineup of beers hailing from every nook and cranny of the Pacific Northwest, from the lush valleys of Western Washington to the hop-heavy fields of Oregon, the sun-kissed plains of Eastern Washington, and even across the border to British Columbia. Consider it your one-stop shop for exploring the region's best brews.
Feeling overwhelmed by choice? Fear not, for Obsidian has your back with their flights—a nifty way to sample a smorgasbord of beers or spice up your tasting sessions with a buddy.
But let’s not forget the non-beer aficionados among us. Hard kombucha, cider, hard seltzer—Obsidian's got it all, ensuring nobody feels left out of the libation loop.
What truly sets Obsidian apart, though, is its 'On Deck' section, giving you a tantalizing peek into what’s brewing up next. Consider it your sneak preview of coming attractions.
A word to the wise: Obsidian is strictly 21+, so leave Fido at home. However, feel free to bring along some outside grub—because who doesn’t love a good food and drink pairing?
And for the true beer enthusiasts out there, Obsidian offers a beer club membership with perks aplenty: 25% more beer for the same price, exclusive monthly tastings to help shape future kegs, and even a birthday brew during your special month.
