20 Best Beer Bars near Bainbridge Island

“Delicious beer & chill vibes“

“This post is from Pacific Northwest Foodies. Doc’s Marina Grill ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I’ve been on the quest for a great Crab Louie salad for a few years. Sadly, this classic crab salad is hard to find even in states like Washington. I suspect it has to do with most people not wanting to pay a lot of money for a salad, but if you’ve ever had a great one, you know this one is worth it. After doing a lot of research, I made a point to try the one at Doc’s Marina Grill on Bainbridge Island, Washington. There’s also a location in Port Townsend, Washington. For starters, I ordered a cup of Doc’s House Made Clam Chowder ($8) - famous because it’s “oh-so-good!” It needed a sprinkle of salt, but it was very good. For my entrée, I ordered Doc’s Dungeness Crab Louie ($38) - mixed greens topped with tender crab, seasonal vegetables, heirloom tomatoes and Doc’s house-made Louie dressing. I was impressed! I would rate Doc’s Crab Louie a 4/5. It was beautifully presented, had a generous portion of crab, and the house made Louie dressing was excellent! I would give this salad a perfect rating if they removed the red onion, and added a few black olives and asparagus spears. Even so, I was very happy with my salad and would rank it among one the best Crab Louie’s I’ve ever had. It is certainly the best I’ve had in Washington state. In addition to serving great food, I really enjoyed the ambience of Doc’s, and the service was excellent! I look forward to visiting again and try and some new menu items. *The upstairs level and bathrooms are wheelchair accessible. * There is an opening above the urinal that is a giant periscope. It provides a panoramic view of Eagle Harbor. It was designed by Lee Scott, a Carnegie Mellon graduate student. If you don’t use a urinal, but are interested in seeing the periscope, staff will clear the room so you can check it out too. I didn’t know about this until after my visit. Next time, I will be sure to check it out. 😊 Highly Recommended!!!“

“Excellent selection and knowledgeable friendly staff“

“A go-to location for a light meal and solid drink.
Pros:
1. Food designed for group sharing.
2. Excellent service and knowledgeable staff.
3. Food and drink were very nice.
Cons:
1. Atmosphere mixes genres
2. Price is a little high per skewer
3. Small selection of mead
Recs:
1. Smaller pours of mead in exchange for larger selection/flights
2. Remove TVs
3. Ale horns/wood mugs or copper to save money
4. Dive into theme (tapestry, sconces, runes)
5. Make skewer flights off bulk purchase themes (dairy, poultry, wild game etc). Make it cheaper for people to sample outside their comfort zone otherwise you will be stuck with a lot of duck hearts and herring at the end of each night.“

“We've ordered pizza from here 3 or 4 times so far, and it's spot on every time! Probably some of the most flavorful pizza we've had in Seattle, with fresh quality toppings and baked perfectly. Will absolutely be ordering from here again.“

“I appreciate Ashley so much for the community-mindedness of her space. Square Pegs Autistic Adult Meetups needed a place for meetings and I was hopeful that Ashley would be willing to discuss the possibility. She went so far beyond that - she was immediately responsive in the affirmative, scheduled a time to chat quickly, and graciously let us use the space without so much as a charge or minimum drink orders. She just wanted to support the Neurodivergent community here in having a space. Endlessly grateful for the opportunity to work with Ashley's Pub. <3“

“I went today for the first time. I tried their chicken bacon ranch sando and my friend tried their grinder sando - SO GOOD!! The atmosphere is fun and spacious, the staff was friendly & available, and the food was delicious! Will be trying this spot again!“

“The food and choice of Beverages are off the chart!“

“The manager here is completely rude to his customers and his staff. Refuses to refund or replace and item made incorrectly. Just terrible customer service. Think twice before giving your money to such a terrible person. Read many other reviews that talk about how the staff here is treated. The food is mediocre at best, but even of it was better, service matters. I'd encourage the owners to think about how they treat people and how they would like to be treated as a customer when the business was at fault. Disgusting. There were mushrooms sent to a kid with an allergy when it was clearly noted on the order to leave them off, there was a hair in the pizza. I would encourage the owner to take a class in customer service and learn to do what is right instead of being rude and snarky.“

“Single Hill is here!! Yakima is laid back fantastic but you can't always get there...!
SH makes so many IPAs, and now often outstanding ones! This will be a must stop for fresh hop season Sep-Oct every year! So looking forward to it this year. Hey Seattle, SH gave the fresh hop master class in 2023. They were 2nd to Holy Mtn ONLY in 2024. Expect big things every year from them (｡•̀ᴗ-)و ̑̑✧“

“Very good food and Services“

“Myself with daughter and husband from Seattle, loved the food.“

“I love the staff. They are welcoming and engaging“

“We went to Tracyton Public House for the first time last night and immediately felt welcomed. When the man at the door was checking IDs, we mentioned we’d never been in and he gave us his food recommendations. We took him up on that and ordered the wings! They are SO insanely good (and HUGE!!). Each sauce we got was remarkable. So much flavor. The bartender was very nice and friendly and welcoming. The whole vibe of the place was really cool. Can’t wait to go back!“

“The food was excellent as was the service. They have unique menu with excellent flavors.“

“The hazy "Kiwi" IPA best we had during our Seattle visit! Bartenders great at giving us traveling advice! Highly recommend!“

“You can drink and then if you’re having a “Bad Hair Day” you can get a haircut!“

“Stacy is wonderful and makes a superb chowder!!“

“They’re always a safe place to be. It’s a very welcoming atmosphere. I’ve gained some friends of a life time since I’ve gone there.“

“Our Tuesday night = Fritz night, best in Bremerton!“
