5 Best Pubs near Lake Stevens

“Our first visit to The Pines was exactly what we needed for a laid-back date night. The atmosphere is dark and inviting, easy to settle into and just enjoy the moment.

We were seated quickly, greeted with water, and served an unexpected touch: popcorn. Different, but it worked. It had a subtle sweet peppercorn flavor that made it surprisingly good and a nice change from the usual starters.

For food, we went with the brisket burger and the filet mignon. Both hit the mark. The burger was solid, and adding Serrano peppers (recommended by our waiter) was the right call, it gave it just enough kick without overpowering the flavor. The filet wasn’t the best I’ve ever had, but it was still good and satisfying. I’d order it again without hesitation.

What really stood out was how easy the whole experience felt. No stress, no wait, just good food and time to reconnect with my wife, which is exactly what a date night should be.

Shoutout to our waiter Steven, friendly, attentive, and made the experience even better.

Looking forward to coming back and working through more of the menu.“

“While every sandwich or burger we’ve had here has been excellent, we keep coming back for the SOUP! So good and such a great daily variety. I seldom order soup at a restaurant, but the soup at Hawkeyes is a treat. Always a good beer selection, too, and friendly service.“

“A buddy took me to dinner here at Danny's recently. He's been coming to this water hole for three decades. Food was delicious, diligent service. Impressive pool tables and setup. The nights having pool league are busy, if your not going to shoot pool, I would find out beforehand to avoid a crowd. The bathroom was up to par, and kept up.“

“The Reuben was amazing and as always the bartenders were great!!“

“Excellent staff and food!“
