21 Best Beer Bars near Bainbridge Island

“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!!!“

“Delicious beer & chill vibes“

“I can highly recommend the pig feast! The food was all very tasty and there was plenty of it, you could not leave without a full belly if you tried. There were community seating options as well as bar and the usual small table. I met some neat folks and had a good chat.

This is not a downside but it's worth noting that the event started at 7 but the food was not served until 7:50. Maybe that is by design, to give people a chance to sit down and have a drink and chat a bit. If I had been a solo diner or on a time schedule I would have been peeved, The food was self-serve, which is great, although when it came to the pig that meant working your way around the bones. It might be wise to use a de-boned pig next time, although if that ruins the 'whole suckling pig' theme then leave it as is.

I hear they also do a salmon feast and something around Thanksgiving, so I'm sure I will be back!“

“Excellent selection and knowledgeable friendly staff“

“This place is next door to us so we obviously order it pretty often. I've always gotten the pepperoni or the margarita. Today I tried something new the chicken tikka masala pizza and it was perfect. It's like eating the meal in slice.“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“If you like IPAs, especially hazy IPAs, then Single Hill Commons is the place for you. Excellent variety in addition to IPAs. Beer available in three different sizes, including 5 oz pours. Good selection of canned beers in case you want to take some home. On street parking was not a problem.“

“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!“

“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!“

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

“best pizza ever! and the ranch dressing they make, heavenly!!!“

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

“Fried. Pickles. Not the silly little quarter sized fellas, but real deal dill spears with the barest hint of a spicy kick. I’ll be back for the pickles.“

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

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

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