Cute little spot next to the marina, great views! All seating is outdoors, love the Adirondack chairs and plenty of other seating, some is covered. Great selection of wine, beer, and some cocktails. Simple food menu nothing too elaborate just sandwiches but have seen an occasional food truck parked outside. Dog friendly!
Had a wonderful outdoor lunch with family and enjoyed a Channel Marker Cider with lunch that we had never tasted before. Believe me...we will soon be back for that cider! What a super end to a beautiful day at the Marina.
Perfect place to grab a drink by the marina. Friendly people and great selection. Dog friendly too!
There was plenty of seating outside overlooking the marina. The menu was limited with mostly sandwiches being available. I got the tuna melt which was pretty good. They also offer a few sweets and chips along with beers, wine and cider. It was a nice spot to relax for a bit.
I love this place. It is a small structure that sells wine, beer, cider, and snacks. It is right in the marina near the pier, and you get the nice ambience of fresh air, saltwater, and sunshine (in summer!) They do have a bit of covered space for when the rainy season comes back. A lot of their beers cider and wines are local. Cant wait to go back every Friday!
Always great service and some fun stuff on tap. Love that they have a sour ale and ciders. Yummy sammies and treats too. Super dog friendly!
Good place to have a glass of wine or beer!! Bring your own food. Or have a yummy grilled cheese.
Ive wanted to try Quarterdeck for quite a while and it didnt disappoint -- its a great place to grab a drink and hang out with friends. Plenty of beer, wine, and coffee options as well as snacks, different seating options, and you cant beat the setting along the Des Moines marina. 👍, recommend it.
We love to enjoy coffee or a brew and relax on the deck or lawn chairs at the Des Moines marina! Our favorite getaway morning or afternoon!
Great little friendly Marina place to grab a quick beer and a sandwich the service is always so cordial
Great place for coffee or wine after walking the d.m. trail.
Convenient location near marina.. like to stop in for a glass of wine or beer
We were at a wedding reception it was a very nice place
A favorite place for sure. Can’t get enough of the friendly people, great atmosphere, excellent drink selection, and beautiful view.
Quarterdeck is a beautiful place to relax and enjoy several drinks, conversation and views with friends. The staff is wonderful and the beer, cider and wine selections are excellent. I am so glad Quarterdeck is here.
Awesome staff, incredible view, good beer and cider, and just a great place to go have a quick drink and forget about your troubles...
Great place to watch a awesome sunset.
Nice place by the marina with outside seating and limited food and drink options. Paid parking is the only option and they have no way to validate the parking. EDIT: Apparently they do offer parking vouchers for 2 hours. We asked if they validated parking but were told no. I guess we used the wrong terminology and should have asked for a voucher instead.
Fantastic outdoor area. Great beer line up, fantastic coffee and the panini sandwiches are a delicious. Very good place for the covid regulations, clean, open and relaxing.
The Quarterdeck is an awesome place to hang out, socialize, and enjoy a beverage while getting prime marina views that few other places have. The service is friendly and suited to the establishment. They recently added a panini selection that I enjoy and occasionally sponsor local artists to perform. I always make a point to drop by the Quarterdeck while walking around the marina.
This is a nice place to go for a coffee/ espresso or beer/wine. They have a limited food menu (which I havent tried). Seating is dog friendly outside with a nice view of the marina and Puget Sound. There is a tent in back with space heaters for rainy weather. They do a good job dealing with Gov. Inslees rediculous covid-19 mandates.
Was a pleasant surprise!
Friendly service, waterfront, beautiful views.
Rain or Shine its a GREAT PLACE!
Great place, staff and service
Very cool spot. Good selection of beers, wines and snacks. Nice outdoor seating, looking right into the marina. Very nice owner too. Definitely worth a stop. What a great place to hangout!
Fun place to be easy in the sun with an adult beverage and sunshine. I love this place
Quarterdeck is one of our fav places to go; Fathers Day was our first outing since the whole Covid issue began. We took a far seat at the end of the outside deck to social distance and felt relatively good about the signs posted on the table regarding social distancing, etc. HOWEVER, surprisingly, the proprietor, with no mask on, went from table to table, chatting with customers, socializing, etc, and when he approached our table, several times, we all were uncomfortable. As a proprietor, he above all people, should wear a mask if he wants to integrate with the array of customers - so that ALL customers who would like to patronize his establishment, and still try to remain safe, can do so without an unexpected visit from him with no mask -- after he has visibly spoken to, and been in close proximity to, multiple other patrons.
Such a cool spot! They have unique beers and wines, and the view cant be beat. Its right on the walkway next to the water and easily accessible from the parking lot. They also have coffee and snacks. I love that you can bring your own food or order from a delivery service. Service was great and I cant wait to go back!
The staff is great. Looks unorinized when you first walk up. Location is a benefit for sure. The menu isnt that great. The wine and beer sells its self coffee wasnt that great.
Loved this place! Awesome location and a simple to the point menu that will most likely appeal to anyone, wine and beer/ cider, espresso with some small bites and the option to bring outside food. With a water view. Kid and dog friendly! What more do you need! Small and cute building too and friendly staff! Will be a regular :)
Small business and Ken the owner is always involved in making his customers happy!
Relaxing environment to enjoy some tasty adult beverages! Patio is dog friendly and a great spot to meet up with friends. Love that you can grab food at the farmers market and enjoy it on the deck with wine, beer, or cider!
Beautiful view of the water, tasty options for beer or wine, and fantastic service. Would definitely recommend. Come check it out for yourself!
Love the atmosphere
A great place to get a drink and watch the activity at the Des Moines Marina. My coffee was very good. They also have beer and wine. The decor is very well done. I look forward to the day that the garage door/window can be open!
Great place to unwind, meet friends/family and enjoy the atmosphere. Varied wine and beer selection and custom espresso and coffee options. This is THE place to be at the marina.
Great outdoor gathering place; wine, beer & coffee
Love this place! The owner remembers you and its so cute inside. Great views and outdoor seating as well!
Ive been taking walks to the marina for months now and always passed this place. I never stopped by because I thought they were expensive. I decided one day to stop in and grab a beer and was surprised that they were priced almost exactly the same as going to a bar. 5-5.50 for a beer + a beautiful view of the marina = worth it. Id rather drink at the quarterdeck than be inside without a view drinking. My 2 cents.
Super cute place with local beer. Great indoor/outdoor seating
Cute place built out of a shipping container in a nice spot for Des Moines visitors and residents. On the marina, for anyone ranging from boaters to fishing enthusiasts to dog-walkers, it’s currently the only option for a quick bite or drink...we need more businesses on the waterfront, so Quarterdeck is a trailblazer.Yes, their prices are a little on the high side, but as the only game in town (at least on the waterfront) it’s their option and privilege to set prices as they see fit (I agree, though, that the wine pours could be more generous and $4 for a drip coffee is high). The closest other options are at least a 15 minute walk, so I’m OK paying a premium for the convenience.They also have some very nice French-style demi-baguettes they get from a good Seattle bakery...you can’t find that anywhere nearby.As they grow and evolve, it will be nice to see how they expand and diversify their offerings.Great start!
Had a great time visiting with friends, enjoying a mocha and chocolate croissant. The view was incredible and we had excellent service.
I love having a place to come and grab a coffee on walks at the marina. Very cute inside! Des Moines needs more places like this.
A teeeeny place in the Des Moines marina, perfect for a sunset glass of wine or beer. Not much in the way of food, but a cute little spot. I am here frequently.
Great place to have a cup of coffee and enjoy the Marina. Very friendly and accommodating.
This is a great place to watch the sunset with a glass of wine or pint of ale or stop by after morning walk on the marina for a cup of coffee
Nice place to briefly chill.
Very friendly
Nice staff, great view across the Puget Sound, great coffee and beers...also ciders and wines available.
Great cafe to just chill drink an espresso munch on some olives and watch the view.Chairs are a little uncomfortable (one size does not fit all Lol)
Great place for a favorite beverage and friendly conversation
Would have given it 5 stars...but they need to up their wine pour.
Great coffee and they have goodies from Macrina Bakery too!
Beautiful spot, wonderful service, and great cider.
Nice lil venue to grab a drink and enjoy the view
Excellent place for glass of wine or coffee
