Cease & Desist - A Friday Harbor Beerhouse

Good beer, nice view, friendly bartender
.

Though it’s a taproom only, they’ve partnered up with Oyster tale next door so you can order some amazing food directly from your table!

The beer selection here is amazing, they also have GF and wine options. Great selection of games, and the views can’t be beat.

This was our first stop when we made it to the islands. It really set off our trip, right. We really enjoyed the beers and Billy‘s company. This is a small intimate place. Great for adults. Be sure to keep an eye out for the otters in the water just below. Enjoy the view.

We had the bartender with the blonde dreadlocks he was amazing very friendly super nice and helpful

Fantastic Beer & Cider list! Hard to beat a sunset and a craft brewski!!! Hand crafted list of brews 5 stars

Pretentious place to drink a beer in a stuffy and sterile atmosphere. White dreadlocks beer-pourer was quite rude. Beer was good, but not worth it to have to hang out in there, total buzzkill. Only accessible to able-bodied people unless there’s some sort of secret entrance for disabled folks.

The place was closed at 4pm on a Saturday when their hours say they’re open from 3-10 every day with no explanation on the door. Half the businesses in town were closed but at least had an explanation on the door. Nothing from Cease and Desist. Contacted the business via Instagram and received no response. Called them and the number was disconnected

If you just want to have a beer and talk on a harbor watching water and ships. They have quite variety of beer on tap from all the local breweries in Washington state. Get your own snacks and food and you can cherish your beer. We just tried couple of beers, one the strong one and one pale ale. Just a perfect place to be on a lazy evenings to watch sunset.

I was drawn to this place the minute we anchored. We ended up stopping in and had a blast. Great plants, friendly staff and fun locals. Even went back one more time since our buddy boat broke. No photos of our beer but here’s our view from the boat ? look forward to coming back and… Phil, your plant is on the way ????

Great spot and good beer. Friendly staff. Fun to sit and watch the harbor and all of the other nice scenery. Good little patio if you are lucky enough to score the 1 patio table they have!

Really cool craft beer bar right on the water. Eclectic selection from a variety of breweries. Some outdated trivial pursuit cards scattered around that are fun to pass the time. Will be back for sure. Friendly service as well

I love beer. My wife loves beer. We love visiting breweries and trying new and local beers. So it's not fun for me to say this but this place isn't fun.

They don't offer samples. It's full of loud metal or death metal music. They take your phone for tap to pay. And the guys that work there aren't much fun or nice. They have some cool beers. Not their own but that's ok. But don't ask to try for samples! The views are great, overlooking the ferry. Amazing. Just ignore the crappy death metal music.

If you want to try beer and grow your love of beer. With nice bartenders. Good music. Better food. Walk up the hill to the San Juan brewery.

I visited back in June and had a pleasant experience. Don't remember the bartender's name but he was a tatted up guy from Florida, really chill guy.

Honestly decided to leave a review after seeing so many negative ones and was surprised. Wasn't my experience at all!

Best bar snacks ever!
