50 Best Pubs near Mercer Island

“I’ve been to Roanoke Inn several times after concerts on Mercer Island and it is a great place to enjoy a pint and some delicious pub food! Wonderful English pub atmosphere and a nice selection of local(ish) beer on draft. The chips, salsa and guacamole, and the jalapeño poppers were great! In the past I’ve also had a fantastic mushroom-Swiss burger, and terrific fish & chips! Easy access from and to I-90 (except right now, there’s a bit of construction making it less direct) and just a lovely overall place to hang out, waiting for traffic to clear up or if you need a bite to eat on your way home from something. 10/10 would go again!“

“This used to be Easy Street tavern. We went to see the music group. The stage was so small you could barely get in the front door without being part of the band. The crowd really liked the opening group Abbie & her band mates who play a mix of country songs. There is one pool table in the very back.“

“A fun place to go for beer and golf.“

“Had a fantastic pit stop and the bar staff are really friendly and know their stuff about the drinks. Recommend.“

“Streamline Tavern Forevahhh“

“We were looking for a French dip for dinner. So we Googled French dip and this place popped up.

I'm going to start off that when we arrived it was packed the only place to sit was out on the patio with heat. So that was nice. Ordering your drinks and food was kinda confusing at 1st. But once they explained it it was simple. You order and they open a tab which makes it nice I think so u don't have to keep ordering and paying for drinks every time u order.

So now onto the the service. And again this place was packed to the brim. The service was spot on. The staff are very friendly and helpful. And not to mention fast.

The food. So yes we tried the French dip. With a salad. Yes it was amazing. And then it came to us in under 10 min. So it was fast for how packed this place was.

Did I forget to say this place was packed lol.

They had live music there that was nice. But we saw people standing for a table so we ate and left so that others could enjoy what we did. Great food drinks and entertainment.

I will be back this place is a gem 💎. And it's pet friendly as well..“

“What can ya say. This is - bar none - the coolest spot I ever drank in. Joe: thank you , Sir. Drinks, vibe, decor, people, (weirdly, the John) MUSIC (Joe’s Blues playlist) and the stories. Come to Seattle and ignore this place to your eternal detriment 😎💚“

“Quintessential pub with a cozy pub with a lm amazing pint of Guinness and a lovely staff.The only caveat is the men's bathroom needs a serious fumigation but the pub proper is excellent.Thank you for a nice evening.

Parking: Just on street. Variable, based on the evening traffic and local drivers but there's space.“

“Killer Tap list, dog-friendly outdoor patio, and delicious food!“

“As bar food goes, this place ranks on top. Finding anything in Seattle that isn't over priced is difficult. Good fried seafood at a great price in a small neighborhood bar.“

“The holy grail of pubs is the spot where friendly strangers chat at an L-shaped bar, with high quality complex cocktails and delicious food. Here it is!! We stumbled on this place while househunting, and being here made us yearn for this neighborhood.
Must have: garlic puffs.
I have no deficits to report. A+++++

Editing to add more. Now we have been here lots! Ordered the fried chicken sandwich. Chicken was a little over-fried (dark). Pickles and caramelized onions and dressing made it juicy and tangy. It’s also massive, so way more than one person could eat.“

“Buffalo Chicken salad was awesome!“

“Great place to hangout for sports games or meet friends for a drink and dinner. The Prime Rib Dip is amazing!“

“Recently had a corporate holiday party there 10/10. Everyone had a blast and the staff was fantastic!“

“Great place to get a local beer on tap, they have amazing non alcoholic options, including some CBD drinks, vegetarian friendly menu items, and incredible karaoke once a month. Perfect scene for those who love to socialize or for someone in the neighborhood looking for a place to drink a nice beer without a sticky floor and door charge.“

“Friendly manager👍 great menu“

“Good food and great beer conveniently located near the Luna Laundrymat!“

“I love the Maple. Great food and drinks but it’s personal! I’d been gone 1.5 years and Mattie remembered me! ❤️❤️“

“Dog friendly and food was so good.“

“Food was amazing highly recommend“

“nice staff and they have a great collection of drinks on tap, including some that aren’t normally available in the US! the cards work pretty seamlessly for self-serve and definitely save a lot of time compared to a normal bar. prices are very reasonable per oz.“

“Coo lil local bar to grab drinks at. I have a great time every time. However most of the times I have been it seemed really busy but the staff was always friendly and as attentive as possible. Food is pretty decent and the DJ is always on point. They also have karaoke from time to time“

“If I could give this place ten stars, I would! The food and drinks are the best on the block but it’s just a compliment to the great people who work there. No matter how busy it is they never forget you and make you feel right at home.“

“I love this place. Only been a few times I guess but still, I love the small town feel it has in here even though it’s on top of Queen Anne. Food is always delicious and the beer/cider offerings are tasty and well chosen. New items every week for special dishes and unique new beers. They’re streaming the Olympics and NFL preseason so they’re up on that too. The servers are direct but warm and they mostly contribute to that small town, homely feel. They’re quick and experienced ladies, they’ll do you well and so will the boys in the back. 5/5. 10/10.“

“It was terrific, we got to talk with the owner and heard about how they’ve been 6 years and running. Delicious chicken chili verde Sammie and rosemary garlic fries! Can’t wait to stop in again!! 😊🤤“

“A great combo: Fantastic Food and Super Friendly Service! 💕 LOVE PUB 70 ❤️ you will too 😃 The Clam Chowder it’s delicious, Wings perfectly cooked and Yummy, Chicken Sandwich is fabulous. Go have a great time and delicious dinner 👍“

“Great atmosphere, kid friendly, awesome selection, and great staff!“

“Any place with almost nothing but ciders and sours is A in my book! Not a big beer guy at all but cider and sour yes! They have these in spades here. Cool spot as well! Open and inviting, casual seats and ample space. 4 and 6 pick flight options. Go during happy hour for 6 picks at $17. I enjoyed every cider I got and the 2 sours as well. I'd get them all again. Way cool spot for lovers of the cider and sour side of 'beer'.“

“this is the best bar in Seattle and has been for a very long time. it does one thing (sour/lambic/belgian ales), perfectly. the owner is so thoughtful and kind, and every time i go here i find myself appreciating a place that offers something so different than any other bar in town. this is not the place to bring a rowdy group, and I'm baffled by the suggestion in another review that they should add TVs - that is an insane thought, a complete misread of what the Stumbling Monk offers. it is perfect as is!“

“If you only hit one spot in Seattle: go here. The pelmeni will send you to heaven and the owner is warm and welcoming. Turgenev vibes.“

“Offering a collection of beverages made in Washington, Seattle Beer Co. was an accidental find after exiting the overcrowded Public Market area. This conveniently located watering hole caters to all crowds with offerings of all different beer styles (drafts and cans), ciders, some wine, and also N/A beers. There's something for everyone, and Trenton makes sure that every single person is served some quality liquids based upon their tastes. For those unsure of what to order, Trenton asked only one to two questions and nearly nailed exactly what the customer was seeking. That's the type of service that every establishment should aim to achieve to keep people flowing in the doors. I highly advise people to make this a stop when in the Seattle downtown area.“

“The perfect neighborhood pub! I love coming here for Wednesday trivia, even though my group is always terrible at it we have a fantastic time! Great beer and cider selection, wonderful staff, and a lively and fun atmosphere. It's perfect for a nice summer evening or a dreary winter day and I always look forward to coming back.“

“Passes the vibe check after maybe 3 seconds. Great staff, clean, old school. Love it.“

“I love this place and the new owners make it even better. Good food, local fun and good drink prices, steak night Friday is hard to beat for the value for sure.“

“To be honest I haven't ever been in that building since it was The Sunset Pub. Yet I have been in there when it first opened up as a game room back in 1980- 1981 named Galaxy II. Frequented it everyday when it was Sunset Pub, I'm sure it can hold its own as the Pickled Onion. As long as they have pickled beans to go into their Bloody Mary's.“

“Good for Birthday Parties good bands good seating good food and drinks and service“

“Great pizza, great drinks and beer selection, and a cool, dark, macabre atmosphere.“

“As the home of Liverpool supporters club in Seattle, this location has always been a great community with phenomenal support.

Outside of always playing the Liverpool matches, they are also open to playing any sport or league I am interested in (only spot I've found to play Liga MX!) and I always look forward to talking with the staff here. They are so friendly and foster a really wonderful community here. This is hands down my favorite sports bar around.

On the food front, I'm super picky about fries, but this place has amazing fries with great sauces to choose from. Also they have malort, which everyone should drink more of.“

“The sushi rolls are fantastic, the tap list is diverse and well-selected, and the staff are incredibly friendly and attentive. The restaurant has a very calm atmosphere, and they have board games if you’d like to grab a drink and hang out for a bit. Definitely will be back! Would highly recommend the Ballard roll and their miso soup is a step above the rest.“

“I have been coming here for over 20 years : when I lived in Seattle and when I visit. We came today after going to MoPOP. We wanted a chill atmosphere with guaranteed good food. I always order the Reuben or soup. Today, they had vanilla cider. So wonderful!

They have GF Macrina Ancient Grains Bread! I haven’t had an actual
Sandwich in a restaurant in ages, but today, it was not only GF it was delicious! So good I ordered one to take home.

Go for the good food, good atmosphere, very friendly service and cozy feeling.

Parking: Be sure to plan to walk a little. It’s difficult to tell when parking will be available near the restaurant. We don’t mind walking a few blocks. It’s worth every step.“

“We always get excellent service, like tonight our turquoise wearing (I'm bad w/names) waitress was phenomenal and our food and drinks were excellent, absolutely love the stein burger and fries !“

“Great atmosphere! That Maxie cat can really sing! More of him!“

“We had our favorite dishes: (breaded) fish tacos and fish 'n chips. Both were very well prepared and tasty. Breading could be thicker - it's too light to soak up much melted vinegar. Chopped mango sprinkled on the tacos add a nice flavor twist.
Servings were generous for all but large appetites. Take home boxes a plus.“

“The fried mushrooms are a religious experience“

“Great neighborhood joint. Friendly staff and cold beer 🍺“

“Went here on our way to Seattle to watch the Germany vs Spain Euro Cup 2024 game. The pub was really busy and lively. It was exciting and extremely fun!!

We did not order any food but my husband had some beers, and he enjoyed them! I would recommend this pub ... Cheers ?“

“Great German bier and food, fun environment. My favorite local bar!“

“Great staff, great food, great drinks, fair prices! Leave your attitude at the door“

“We (Myself, my partner and our trivia group) went here on a Thursday for trivia. We normally go somewhere else but wanted to give this place a try. The service was great for the most part. The bartenders were quick and efficient but the one lonely server was running her ass off. She forgot to put one of our food orders but they ended up taking a couple things off the tab and made up for it. We didn't ask them to, they just did it which was super cool.
There isn't much parking so just drive around downtown till you find something.
Inside there's a couple pool tables, darts, high top tables and low tables. For trivia night (Thursday), good luck getting a table, period. The happy hour is 4pm to 7pm and definitely worth it. They don't take reservations, I asked.
Overall, great place for a beer and a cheap happy hour burger. The fried pickles are delicious too. Just don't expect to get a table or nearby parking.“

“We had breakfast here and it was great. They give you lots of food super tasty.
We couldn't eat it all. Our server Danielle was friendly and took good care of us. The place is nicely set up and clean. Would definitely recommend.“
