Why this sits where it does.
It fits the first real evening after work and supplies instant shared references without requiring dancing, trivia mastery, or a big commitment.
Arrive 15-20 minutes early for seats; confirm no private-event change on the venue calendar.
Why it could work for the two of you
An easy, low-commitment Friday opener after work; it is social and fun without requiring a full dinner reservation.
A two-hour music-recognition bingo game using song clips and lyrics, with cider and a lively neighborhood taproom atmosphere.

Walk or e-bike from the harbor, then choose a late casual dinner nearby.
Distance, night return, and tender reality
Walk the waterfront core or use the e-bikes in daylight; use the exact map for the named start point.
Do not make the return ride the adventure. Use a rideshare or cab for anything beyond the lit harbor core.
Jerisich Dock at Skansie Brothers Park - posted dinghy/nonmotorized area: Best documented Gig Harbor landing for a small tender, provided the boat is in the posted dinghy area and any posted time limit is obeyed.
The municipal code defines a dinghy as a tender no longer than 13 feet. Dinghies and human-powered craft may tie only in an area posted for that vessel type or alongside their mother vessel. The posted dinghy/nonmotorized area is free, subject to time limits.
Hours / return constraint: Dock is accessible for transient moorage. Restrooms are 5:00 AM-10:00 PM. Overnight moorage is chargeable when present after 8:00 PM or before 8:00 AM.
- DO NOT ASSUME every open spot on Jerisich is free dinghy parking; the free treatment is tied to the posted dinghy/nonmotorized area.
- DO NOT ASSUME the load/unload zone is parking; a navigator must remain and depart immediately after passengers disembark.
- DO NOT ASSUME restrooms remain open after 10:00 PM.
The prominent crow-flight mileage is a geographic comparison from Jerisich Dock, not a route distance. Road, marine, time, and fare figures here are planning ranges, not live quotes. The named dock panel uses verified landing information where available; otherwise it explicitly tells you to confirm before relying on it.

Review synthesis
Locust is commonly praised for bright fruit-forward ciders, casual service and an easygoing taproom; event-night seating is the recurring pressure point.
Useful cautions and little wins
- Play one card together and leave after one round if the room is not your energy.
- Excellent rain option; short e-bike approach is the only exposed part.
