When Covid closed all brewery restaurants and taprooms on St. Patty’s Day 2020 Chuckanut Brewery’s Kitchen and Tap Room went to opening five days a week instead of seven to cut their losses and keep some staff on board. As Covid raged across our nation Chuckanut reverted to selling beer to go in bottles, kegs and growlers to keep the doors open and fans supplied with their award-winning beers!
When Phase 2 was reached, Chuckanut Brewery opened its North Nut Kitchen in Bellingham with food and beverages and also South Nut in Burlington for beer and beverages. With rules in place (wearing masks to enter and when not seated as well as maintaining 6’ distancing) Chuckanut Brewery’s North and South Nuts have now decided to open 7 days per week starting July 1. The hours for Chuckanut Brewery & Kitchen (North Nut in Bellingham) will be 12:30-8 p.m. every day of the week. Chuckanut Brewery’s South Nut Tap Room in Burlington will be open 3-6 p.m. Monday through Thursday and 1-6 p.m. Friday-Sunday.
With the opening of seven days per week, Chuckanut Brewery & Kitchen will offer a new menu featuring pizzas and calzones made in their Woodstone oven. The historic oven (built originally for Universal Studios in Hollywood) was made when Woodstone was still located in Blaine, WA.
Perfect for making the best pizzas and calzones Chef Ben will create signature Pizzas and Calzones along with the classics. The new Knots (small bread knots) with marinara or garlic butter for dipping is featured along with other items in the starter section. Chuckanut’s well known scratch Chowder, Caesar salad and a new BLT Salad with smoked vinaigrette is part of the Salads & Soup section followed by a variety of classic, signature and build your own pizzas and calzones.
The waterside patio and multiple covered patios with lots of outdoor seating even in the rain, makes Chuckanut a great spot for a beer or a meal for adults and kids (tables of up to 5 per table as per Phase 2 rules). At the South Nut Tap Room the beer garden is open and ready for guests. With it’s comfy garden lounge chairs and picnic tables it’s a perfect place for a beer and snack on a lazy afternoon.
