All right, let's get started with the tour. My name is Dave and I'll be showing you around this beautiful peninsula on Puget Sound. We'll start off our tour in Silverdale, a harbor town at the north point of Dyes Inlet. Follow your GPS navigation, and I'll meet you there!
Byron Street leads you into the waterfront downtown area of Silverdale, locally known as Old Town. Immediately on your left side, you'll pass the yellow storefront of Monica's, a cozy upstairs cafe where you can grab a cup of coffee and a pastry or boxed lunch to go. From quiche to panini to classic deli sandwiches, this is a great place to grab a quick bite. Just past Monica's is the Hub, a new restaurant that occupies the old Cash brewery. The Hub is a great spot to grab a beer and a meal, with classic appetizers, pizza, burgers, and sandwiches. Up ahead, take a left, but look out your right side to get a look at Silverdale Waterfront Park on the opposite corner. The park is the heart of Old Town, providing Silverdale with a place for picnics and gatherings on the water's edge. With a playground and public beach access, it's a great place for families to enjoy a day in the summer sun. The park is also the starting point of the Clear Creek Trail, a multi-use trail that connects the Waterfront, Old Mill Park, and the Silverdale Dog Park, with three miles of wooded footpaths and paved walkways. Heading north on Washington Avenue, you'll drive past several salons and offices that operate out of Silverdale's bungalow-style homes. Continue straight through the stop sign up ahead, but look down Bay Shore to your right to see one of the waterfront's best restaurants, the Yacht Club Broiler. This casual seafood spot is a local favorite, with a menu featuring classic chowders, fresh-caught pacific salmon, and delicious pasta dishes. The restaurant also features a lounge area with craft cocktails, draught beers, and an extensive wine list. Up ahead, the road you're on terminates at Silverdale Way, where you'll take a right onto Silverdale's main commercial strip. At the corner, you'll find Our Place, a classic pub that takes pride in friendly service and good beer. In addition to classic bar food and a homey atmosphere, they also host weekly events like karaoke on Wednesdays and Saturdays and live music on Fridays.
Silverdale Way is where you'll find the essential businesses that keep Silverdale running. On your left, you'll pass the grocery store, a hardware outlet, and a fun escape room, while on your right you'll see a bank, an antique store, and several restaurants, including a Mexican taqueria, Japanese Teriyaki place, and an Italian restaurant. Silverdale way will take us out of town to the next stop on our tour. Along the way, you'll pass a couple of important landmarks. Up first is the Kitsap mall, located on your left side. Featuring outlets from all your favorite brands, the mall's central location in the county makes it the peninsula's biggest shopping destination. In addition to department stores like Macy's, JCPenney, and Kohl's, you'll find brands like H&M, American Eagle, Victoria's Secret, Barnes & Noble Booksellers, and DICK'S Sporting Goods. A little further along, after you've left the retail area, you'll pass Danny's BBQ on the left. This Texas-style barbecue restaurant is such a hit among locals that some people ask Danny's to cater their weddings! You can dine in or order smoked meats by the pound for carryout.
