Tall Sips drops anchor July 27

Later this month The Coast is raising a glass (actually, over 45 of them) to cocktail culture, summertime in the city the the incoming Rendez-Vous 2017 Tall Ships Regatta with a celebration of hydration— Tall Sips.

Restaurants, bars and cafes across town are joining in on the fun, offering up special $8 alcoholic or $5 non-alcoholic, nautically-themed beverages from July 27 to August 2, when tall ships from around the world will be the talk of our docks.

It works like this: You pick up a passport from one of the participating locations, feast your eyes on the 48 options for wetting your whistle—beers, cocktails, shakes, iced coffees and more— and collect stamps as you sip your way across the city.
