About Tidewater Taphouse

Nautically industrial, eclectic harbor taphouse remodeled from a former boat repair garage offering Alaska-brewed beers, seltzers, ciders, and wine cocktails. We also offer NA cocktails and beers. Our menu is geared to have something for everyone, from burgers and flatbreads to upscale dinner entrees. We offer casual dining downstairs with a traditional taphouse vibe with an outdoor patio, while upstairs is a more upscale feel with harbor views and mythical decor.

Our staff are outdoor loving, honest, hardworking, good people. We help each other to make everyone, staff, and guests included, have a fantastic experience while here in Alaska.

The Employee Experience

“If you’re not learning, you’re not living.” Seward is a small town, with a small window of time to make some decent money while enjoying everything it has to offer. We value honesty, kindness, teamwork, loyalty, and good work ethic. Time off? Our staff is known to be out hiking, biking, fishing, having bonfires, barbecues, and exploring. At work? We’re all giving 100% to ensure our visitors are having a great experience, while also helping each other to succeed and level up to our highest potential. 

Ideal Candidate

“Can I help you with that?” We are a team that knows we are only as strong as our weakest link. We strive to always be learning from each other, knowing that everyone comes into this environment knowing something they can share to help others level up in their potential. We can train someone to be a great server, but we need you to come to the table with the following skills. Our people are:

Kind

Honest

Motivated

Professional

Flexible

Room and Board

We are not a resort with onsite housing, we can recommend local rentals and agencies, and social media sites that can assist you in finding housing accommodations. Many of our seasonal regulars have sleeper vans or RV’s, rent a room, or opt to camp. 

Employee Perks

  • Meal discounts are provided while on shift. 
  • Bonus opportunities based on performance and fun sales contests. 
  • Local discounts on wildlife tours and fishing charters. 

Getting Here and Getting Around

Seward is a small town. It doesn’t even have a traffic light. From the south end of downtown to the north end of the harbor is right around a mile. Traveling by foot or bike once you get here is very easy depending on where you live. There is a bike rental business downtown. Having a car does allow the ability to potentially have more options for housing that may not be inside city limits. Flying into Alaska, you arrive in Anchorage. There is a train and bus service to Seward. In the area, we do have taxis but they are limited.

For Fun

Do you love fishing? Seward is a fishermen’s dream, whether it is by boat or off the beach. Prefer hiking? There is an abundance of hiking available right in town. There are also services that offer paddleboarding, kayaking, and wildlife viewing.
