McMenamins: Hotel, Dining, Bars, Movies & More
“McMenamins Anderson School is a great spot with lots of options within. Whether you’re just looking for dinner and a movie or searching for an overnight getaway, McMenamins’ Anderson School in Bothell has your dining and entertainment needs covered! This one-stop-shop is located in a converted school, and hotel rooms are located in converted classrooms. Grab a drink and sit outside near the fire pits, or enjoy a meal outside at one of their tables that are under cover with heaters for the cold/wet days.”
During your stay, visit the Principal’s Office for a drink, enjoy outdoor seating at the Tavern on the Square, take advantage of the Anderson School Theater Bar (order burgers, brews, popcorn, and candy and have it delivered to your table during the movie!), and much more. Check out their website for room package offerings, a schedule of special events, and more details on accommodations.
Woodinville Wine Country: Sip & Shop
Located right next door to Woodinville, Bothell’s close proximity to this wine capital make it a popular destination for wine lovers. Woodinville is home to a whopping 108 wineries and tasting rooms, 8 microbreweries, distilleries & cideries, and 26 different dining spots! With so many wineries to choose from, it can be a bit daunting, but we recommend checking out Woodinville Wine Country’s website for a guide to Woodinville’s different districts as well as a list of wineries and a special passport that can get you discounts. For those hoping to stay the weekend, there’s also a guide on hotels and bed & breakfasts available for your convenience.
When the sun comes out, bike from downtown on the Sammamish River Trail and find a glass of wine to enjoy at the plethora of wineries. Feeling like listening to some music? Check out the popular Chateau Ste Michelle, home to some delicious wine in addition to a concert series that attracts big names like Josh Groban and John Legend.
