22 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“

“We went to Skal on a Thursday night before catching a show - it wasn’t too busy and there was no wait to order food. It is counter service and they bring food to table.

We ordered a hot dog, cod pop corn and fries, and wings. The hot dog was a skinny foot long, it was very good, the fries were amazing! The wings were boring plain wings, wouldn’t get them again.

The restaurant itself is cool looking, very Viking inspired. Next time we’ll get the huge pretzel!“

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

“By far the best pizza in Seattle. Super chill staff and vibes. The Za is incredible. Some unique creations as well. Such a great variety of beers local and foreign on tap and bottled. They probably have the only outdoor seating in Ballard which catches the late afternoon sunlight. Occasionally they’ll do small concerts and improv events. Also they LOVE dogs! I friggin love this place.“

“How could you NOT love a pub that not only offers games to play but also a big enough space for lots of different groups to be around each other, sharing their favorite games?!“

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

“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.“

“Amazing food. Drinks on point. overall best pizza I have ever had. 10/10“

“Very good food and Services“

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

“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!“

“Yum!!!! Best Street Tacos.“

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

“Just so happy one of my favorite local haunts is open!“

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

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

“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.“

“Good juicy burger. Dill ranch dipping sauce wasn't too bad either.“

“Pretty good pies but the alcoholic beverages on the menu are absolutely the worst things we’ve ever tasted. Loved the pie. Loved the people. Hated the drinks. Couldn’t drink more than one sip. And they were expensive. Oh well, that’s the cost of learning.“

“This place has great pizza beer and staff! Highly recommend!“
