Everett businesses join forces to promote downtown nightlife

EVERETT — A cohort of downtown Everett businesses is looking to bring a boost to the city’s nightlife through a marketing initiative and a new series of monthly events.

Under the name Late Shift Everett, the group of over nearly a dozen businesses are joining forces to organize “First Friday” events and spread the word about late-night activities taking place in the city’s downtown core.

The first “First Friday” is scheduled for Oct. 3. Businesses taking part include APEX Everett, Apollo Exos, Brooklyn Bros. Pizzeria, the Horseshoe Bar, the Lucky Dime, Vision Quest Bookstore, The Monte Showbar, Tony V’s Garage, Marcel and Obsidian Beer Hall, according to the Late Shift website.

“I think this came about due to a collaborative environment amongst new businesses and entrepreneurs that were starting to see the bigger picture and wanted to extend their efforts beyond their four walls, to work together and really kind of rise the tides so we could have an established nightlife,” said Ryan Crowther, the head of the Everett Music Initiative, a nonprofit that helped organize the Late Shift initiative.
