A quiet Thursday night before Friday, with a friendly server, a welcoming owner, and a sleek, modern interior. The music matches my taste—alternative tunes setting the perfect vibe. The cocktail is spot on, and the dish is just as good. The calm, laid-back atmosphere makes it easy to relax, and I can already tell I’ll be coming back soon. It’s the kind of place that draws you in.

October 4th, 2024 Hubby and I have a "shared" birthday dinner every year. The dinner falls right after my birthday and right before his. After hearing some glowing reviews about Hound and Bottle, we felt a personal connection. The restaurant's commitment to using locally sourced ingredients and their cozy, neighborhood vibe resonated with us, and we decided to make it our destination for our shared birthday dinner. Stepping into Hound and Bottle, we were enveloped in a contemporary casual, almost pub-style atmosphere, setting the perfect tone for our evening.
We were seated with menus and water and greeted by Cat, our server. She was personable and very charming.
We both ordered drinks, although being a full bar, there were a couple of items they didn't have. A full-service bar should have Kahluaha or at least some sort of coffee liquor. If any patron wanted a Cosmopolitan drink, a proper Cosmopolitan is made with cranberry juice, which they did not have. My drink was a made-up Cosmopolitan; it was a good drink, a little strong for me but tasty overall. My hubby had a Martini and seemed to enjoy it.
Onward to our dinners. We split a Caesar salad, it was unbelievably good, it really was! Although the menu was a little more limited, it was clear that each dish was carefully curated and executed. Sometimes, a smaller menu can mean that the kitchen can focus on perfecting a few dishes rather than spreading themselves too thin. More isn't always better; it's just more, and often, restaurants cut corners to keep costs down.
I decided to have their dinner special. It was a tough choice, with a veggie burger and crab cakes staring me down, but butternut squash risotto won me over. And I was thrilled to have it. It was so flavorful, and the flavor just popped.
Hubby saw the words griddled pork chop and was set on that. Although I wish we had caught this and inquired about the discrepancy in the menu, it was a little confusing why it states griddled pork chop with sweet potato bread pudding, creamed savoy cabbage, and warm marmalade glaze. Aside from the pork chop, it had regular grilled sweet potatoes, which were delicious, but the dinner did NOT have sweet potato bread pudding, creamed savoy cabbage, or any type of glaze. His dinner came with corn on the cob. That's on us; it's too late now to say something. I can only hope that other patrons who may be interested in this but receive something else inquire about this discrepancy. That said, although he stated the dinner was really good, thirty-seven dollars was a tad high for this meal.
Overall, our evening went well. Hound and Bottles is located in the Manette area at 2109 E. 11th St., Bremerton, WA. Hound and Bottle is across the street from Saboteur Bakery and within walking distance of The Manette Bridge and the Boat Shed Restaurant.
Parking can be dicey. As far as I know, street parking is the only option. Since I don't frequent that area, I cannot give my opinion on when are good and bad times to get parking.
Here is another excellent way to support a locally owned small business. Aside from the confusion of the menu, I hope the owner corrects the menu or tells customers that the menu has changed. Our server was great!
Please don't forget, Be kind to ALL living things ?? Happy Fall and Happy Halloween ??

My first time coming here! I had picked out a dish from their online menu that I wanted to try but it wasn't up to date there was a different menu in person so keep that in mind. I ordered the peach bourbon cocktail and butternut squash risotto. They were great! Wanted to try a dessert but too full. Great service and atmosphere.

Great place. Service was attentive, but not pushy. When we asked for a suggestion on wine, we received an honest answer for her favorite wines. Highly recommend!

I really wanted to like this place, but it felt so overpriced. And the portion sizes were small. We ordered the fries as an appetizer and there were literally 6 fries in the serving. At the end of the day, we left feeling disappointed and still hungry.
Friendly staff let us stay well over closing time. Creative, tasty, original dishes.

We're from out of town, but every year or so we make it to Bremerton, and a meal at Hound + Bottle has become a "must" for us each trip. There's craftsmanship in each dish and drink. The menu is tightly curated and changes seasonally with unique creations and superb spins on classics. The seasonal potpie is comfort year-round, there's sure to be an indulgent vegetarian option, and the specialty cocktails are always a treat.
The space has a compact, intimate vibe that welcomes classy to casual. We've had so many wonderful interactions with the staff, not just great service, but also fun conversation. Each of our visits to H+B has been as unique as the menu, and I look forward to it every time!
Vegetarian options: It's a limited menu, but there is always at least one vegetation entree option, and you can often ask to make it vegan.

Everything was cool and good, but the clams came out tasting kinda boozy and a little under cooked. Get the oysters, shucked without shell.
