This place is sooooo effing good! This is a stop you need to make up north. Fairly big place with amazing food choices. I had a burger with pulled pork and bacon and a side of tots. Finished it off with a taster tray of their beer selection. read more

Let me start by saying the service is fantastic. We only came to pick up food and noticed that right off the bat. My friends and I placed a huge order (resulting in 4 takeout bags of food) and while we waited they were chatting with us and even gave us 3 additional crowlers of beer/cider to take home because we waited an extra 30 minutes for our food. Super kind gesture and we all really appreciated it! I ordered the Pulled Pork Banh Mi with Tater tots and it was everything I expected. Crispy crunchy tots with really good pulled pork and it was HUGE. I had half a sandwich leftover and I think most of my friends couldn't finish their food. We also got the deep fried oreos (delicious!) and some appetizers in addition to our meals. Everything was delicious. We aren't often in this area as we drove up from Seattle for a short vacation, but if we come back to Anacortes we are 10/10 stopping by here again. read more

Picked up a burger & fries to go & was very disappointed, fries were soggy limp & burnt, Lettuce had dark spots, and bacon was raw. Meat on the burger was about the only edible portion of the meal. read more

We had a great experience today at Bastion. The safety measures for COVID-19 were very solid. Spacing markers on the ground, lots of sanitizer around, and good practices with masks and gloves by the staff. The restaurant has big openings in the front to let the air circulate through. We sat in picnic tables outside in front. We had 3 beers and split the pulled pork sandwich with fries. Holy moly, was that excellent! The fries were thicker cut with the skins on...freshly fried. The pork was so tender and flavorful and the toasted bun was excellent. We loved the bbq sauces served on the side. The Breakfast Juice IPA was just the right amount fruity and quite delicious. I also enjoyed the flagship Sky Pig IPA. My husband loved the Nitro Oatmeal Stout. Very friendly bartenders! If I lived closer, I would be a regular! read more

Dog friendly, clean, chill vibe restaurant. The bbq pork sandwich was amazing!!! The most soft brisket I've ever had, with a smooth buttery melt in your moist feel. Sometimes with smoked pork I feel like it tastes fake Smokey, but this place is a genuine well flavor, naturally slow cooked pork flavor. I can't say it enough, but it was literally melt in your mouth !!!! Can't wait to come back after my next hike and enjoy a beer and sandwich at this place!! read more

Today, we got take out. Caesar salad with grilled chicken and two orders (1 lb) of Boneless wings. $50. Not sure how... Boneless wings are $15 each; Caesar salad ($9); Grilled Chicken ($5); Sales tax ($3.83). Total? $47.83, not $50! Oh wait. There weren't any croutons on the Caesar salad. They must have charged us $2.17 when they forgot to put croutons on the salad. It'll be a long while before we're back. read more

Had a bhan mi with pulled pork and coleslaw. Wow it was great! Loved all of the veggies in the sandwich mixed with the pulled pork. Loved the crunchy and fresh cole slaw side. The dressing was not creamy (no mayo) and had a light tasty vinegar dressing. The baguette was crunchy and delicious. The bar tender mixed raspberry wheat veer and lemon basil cider. Very tasty! Servers were excellent. Thank you!! read more

So bummed to give these guys less than 4 stars, but they aren't what they used to be. Beer: if you live IPAs, then they are still solid. Unfortunately, half their inventory is IPA, so you stout lovers are out of luck (they used to have an outstanding barrel aged stout). They do have a decent rotating cider menu, which mollifies the IPA bias somewhat. Food: This place used to be a solid choice for BBQ. Sadly that's no longer true. Gone are the meat platter options, replaced by rice bowls. I tried the Southwest BBQ Bowl with brisket. It was supposed to come with a homemade corn salsa, & chipotle SW sauce, topped with herbs. What I got was a pile of steamed rice, with what appeared to be heated up frozen vegi medley, maybe 3 oz of brisket, and a still very good SW sauce. The Mrs got the pulled pork sammy, and the pork was so dry, no amount of sauce could get rid of the chalk like texture in our mouths. In short, we used to come here frequently, and it looks like will have to look elsewhere for a local BBQ and stout fix. read more

The BEST burnt burger I've ever had in my life! I had the cowboy burger. My husband had a bite and was almost insistent about my returning the burger because it was so burnt, but it was still so good that I couldn't part with it. So... 5 stars for regular burgers and 4 stars for burnt burgers. And the beer is amazing! read more

Bastion Brewing - Burnt burgers - still super yummy!! - Breweries Near Me - Anacortes, Washington

Food was great! The pulled pork sandwich was probably the most interesting I've ever had, with a generous amount of nicely charred pieces of meat and a Smokey flavor. The baked beans were outstanding, with pieces of caramelize onion in there. The brisket dip sandwich my partner had was really good, too. We didn't get beers, as it was lunchtime, but with the really nice outdoor setting. we will be back in with the dog someday to try them. read more

A group of 7 of us stopped here for a quick sip and bite after kayaking on Lopez Island for the day. Free parking can be found in the parking lot. Discover is an accepted form of payment. This brewery is essentially self-serve. One side is dedicated to the brewery and the other side is dedicated to the kitchen. Orders are placed separately at the counter at each place. Water is dispensed from a carafe. This brewery is family friendly. The brewery side hosts live entertainment. My wife and daughter ordered a beer and a cider. I don't recall which ones since I was placing our food orders while they were placing their beer orders. My wife ordered the Fish & Chips (3 pc) for $11.99: the fish was flavorless and greasy. The fries were hand-cut (my wife likes, I do not). My daughter ordered the Coconut Shrimp (6 pc) for $9.99: the shrimp were large, crisp and tasty. I ordered half a Roast Beef Dip for $5.99: my sandwich was served cold with lukewarm au jus. I also ordered a cup of Chili for $3.99: lukewarm in temperature but loaded with cheese and onions. My favorite choice of the night. Food delivery takes awhile and orders come out staggered. Overall, I think that we will pass on this brewery the next time around. read more

I've been to Bastion a couple of times and, while it's a bit off the beaten path (unless you happen to be on the way to/from Anacortes) it's worth a trip to check out their expansive beer menu and cool vibe. My most recent visit was with my daughter on our way to the ferry. We both enjoyed some snacks and I got a pint of their Irish Red which was delicious. We shared a hummus plate and a piece of key lime pie, and my daughter loved their lemonade. The food ordering process is a bit confusing (you order your food on the restaurant side, and your beer on the brewery side) but it's cool that kids can come along either way! read more

Stopped in for some beer and were tempted by the food menu, but already had food plans for after. I'd never heard of this brewery, so I didn't come in with any expectations, but the beer was really good. We had two flights and really liked most of the beers. We both loved the ciders and got a can of each the strawberry rhubarb and strawberry honey to go. read more

Great food, great location, perfect for a Covid safe place. I only wish I would have tasted one of their brews. Man they looked good! But I was driving and tired so even one beer held me back. This place is right off the highway, we stopped because we were hungry from a long day on the island and coming back home. My wife and I shared a burger: perfectly cooked and delicious. And one burger and fries was plenty for us. Even the house salad was delicious with the chopped red onions (hot!) and sliced cucumbers. Plenty of indoor and out door covered seating. Thank you for the nice Sunday dinner. And the prices were reasonable. read more

Good beer selection. Flying Pig, and Hazy IPA were good. Food was decent. The bbq was the way to go over the burger. Fries left a little something to be desired. read more

Delicious! Great selection of beers for all tastes. I personally had the pilsner. It paired great with the burgers. Speaking of burgers; these burgers are huge! Delicious, but plan on being starving or splitting it with a friend. I had the one with beer cheese. Good stuff. Casual environment and helpful staff. read more

Bastion is the perfect place to stop when the Mukilteo ferry line is too long and it is faster to drive through deception pass to get to the island. Bastion is dog friendly in the tap room where everyone hangs out and you order beer. The restaurant side has a clear sign "No pets passed here", but the tap room is plenty spacious. The beer here is really good. It tastes fresh, there are quite a few options, and they are all quite distinct. I tried to get a flight of beers, but I was told I couldn't... I'm not sure if it was too busy on a Friday night or had to do with the live music they were setting up, but I saw plenty of other people get flights before and after I tried, so that wasn't great. They would still give me tastes of whatever I wanted at the bar though. I got the BLTA and it was good. The fries are delicious, but I needed to supplement with more salt. My wife got the 3-piece fish and chips, and it was a lot more food than she expected! You might consider getting the 2-piece if you aren't starving. Overall, a great place to stop, especially with dog in-tow, we'll be back next time the ferry has a 2 hour wait! read more

Good burgers and tots, except for the fact they were slightly cooler than I would like them to be -- like they had been sitting for awhile. They were kind of busy and a little rude when I walked back up to the counter after 30+ minutes of waiting to make sure I didn't miss our order somehow. read more

Bastion Brewing - two glasses of beer on a wooden table - Breweries Near Me - Anacortes, Washington

This brewery has 6 outdoor tables with heat and 1 without. The tables are first come first serve on the weekend but reservations are taken during the week. My husband and I arrived at 630pm and found out that they were out of half the menu. We planned on ordering the 3 meat plate plus a full rack of ribs to truly evaluate their bbq skills but Unfortunately they were sold out of ribs, turkery, chicken, mashed potatoes, and wings. It was a huge disappointment right away but we were starving and wanted to eat asap. We ordered the 3 meat plate with the only bbq items they had left- pulled pork, sausage and brisket with mac and cheese as a side and my husband ordered fish and chips. The brisket and pulled pork was amazing and the mac and cheese was surprisingly delicious. The sausage was just okay, it looked like it had been cooked and left to harden throughout the night. The fish was cooked perfectly, the tartar sauce was heavy with full and the fries were great. If you want bbq, I recommend arriving as early as possible be able to order what you actually want . read more

Beer is delicious but the food has gone down hill! I used to come here for burgers in the summer of 2021. The burgers were always amazing! Towards the end of summer they took the burgers off the menu. I asked the hostess why she said "the cooks were getting too hot and they weren't getting enough breaks because they were short staffed". Summer of 2022 I went back and burgers were on the menu! Unfortunately it wasn't a good comeback. They're dry with no flavor. I tried it out three times thinking they were having a bad night. Nope, the night didn't change. The burgers just aren't the same. Such a shame.. read more

This place has amazing BBQ. Next time we go we are getting two orders of burnt ends to take home. I'm not a fan of standard BBQ sauce it's usually to sweet for me, so I was really happy their mustard sauce is spot on. My only complaint and some people will find it petty. I'm not a fan of craft beer, I'm a lite beer girl, Don't hate on me please, but I just want a light beer, any option would be fine. read more

Extremely slow service. Burgers took 25 minutes and there were very few people in the restaurant. When we finally got our meals, the meat was dry and overcooked, the bacon was undercooked and the fries were burnt. They may do beer well, but food is not their strength read more

Bastion Brewing - Burnt fries, overcooked beef and undercooked bacon - Breweries Near Me - Anacortes, Washington

I want to say it was worth the wait, but it took 45 minutes for us to get our food. Barbecue was outstanding I had the brisket and ribs and they were delicious, the coast law is vinegar based not mayonnaise and it's amazing, mashed potatoes needed seasons butter, milk, salt seems very bland. The mac and cheese was amazing when they first brought it out but quickly coagulated and became grainy, same with the cheese for the pretzel after less than a few seconds it was hard to dip. The hubby said the burger was really good had the perfect amount of blue cheese on it so you could taste it. The fries were lackluster but they're the usual in house cut fries. He also got the beer flight and was very happy with that. I would probably try different sides next time I come but I would come again. read more

Surprisingly great find! We pass this place all the time leaving Cornet Bay and Deception Pass but decided to swing by with our two dogs this particular day. It's a self serve set up where you go to the bar for drinks and go to restaurant to order your food. They'll give you a number and bring the food to you when ready. Great brews on tap! Highly recommend the oatmeal stout as well as the raspberry wheat. Love that we could bring our furry friends into the bar area and not have to stay on the patio, especially since it was a little chillier that evening. Hubs had a Viking burger which is a beef Patty topped with pulled pork. Super delish! I wasn't feeling as hungry so got the BLTA sandwich which was still a good size and very filling. Someone had mentioned how good their onion rings we're so obviously had to order some of our own and they weren't lying. Definitely order the rings for a side! We will be back when up in the neighborhood again! read more

Bastion Brewing Company: Stopped in this morning with my friend Dave because I saw that they are now open for breakfast!!! Had one of the best breakfast meals ever! He had the chicken fried steak and potatoes. I had the brisket hash with two poached eggs and hollandaise sauce and a scratch made biscuit that was cut in half and lightly toasted on the grill! Big chunks of brisket and potatoes and the hollandaise is made from scratch! Yum!! Epic breakfast food and fantastic service from the staff! The only thing missing was a cot to lay down and take a nap in afterwards! Lol It was so good I forgot to take pictures. Amazing craft beer, cider and food. read more

Bastion Brewery should really be reviewed in two differnt reviews at which point they would get five stars for the brewery and four stars for the food section. As you probably have already understood, I really like their beers. And when I have brought other people, it has been easy to find a beer that suits them too. If I didn't have to get home afterwards, I would drinkIt just helps me keep to moderation. For the food part, it's good. My favorite is the grilled cheese, which is expensive, but has so much cheese I grin like a Cheshire cat. Some days of the week (Tuesday, Thrursday and Friday I think) they also have barbecue, which is also good. One thing to keep in mind is that the kitchen closes at 8. read more

Bastion Brewing is a new brewery in Anacortes. We just got off from the ferry on a trip to Orcas Island and thought we would swing by to try some of their beer. Upon arrival the place was very busy. They have two entrances into the business. One entrance was to the bar area and another entrance was to where you go to order food. We walked into the bar entrance since we weren't interested in getting a meal. Almost immediately a waitress shooed us out and said that to come in this door you had to have a ticket for the concert that was about to start. She said if we wanted beer that we had to go into the entrance where you order food and dine. So that is what we did. We told the waiter at the table we sat at we just wanted beer and were not hungry. So the waiter told us to go into the bar( there is an inside entrance between the two rooms) to order our beer. Steve and I picked our beer and was served by the same waitress who was behind the bar that shooed us out earlier. Lol! We were wondering if this logistical disaster as to where they wanted their customers hearded was worth it since we we wound up in the same room that we were just asked to leave at the door. Lol! I know this brewery is pretty new and they apparently need to work out a few things when special events occur. However with that said the whole time we were here the staff was pretty nice. So the big question is... with all of this rigmarole was it worth the stop and trying their beer? The answer is yes! I got a delicious Raspberry Wheat Ale! Some beers with raspberries can be too sweet but the balance in this beer was perfect and the main ingredient features were noticeable but not overpowering. Steve got an equally impressive Sour Gose which also was a real delight. I would definitely come back. The beer is highly enjoyable and they know what they are doing with that. They need to work a few kinks out when they are expecting a big crowd coming in but over time hopefully that will get straightened out. Perhaps the food is worth a try too. read more
