I randomly craved a pancake - the last time I wanted pancakes was over 5 years ago - and they delivered on a standard, big ole guy. I did struggle in ordering food, as I eat very healthy typically so I opted for a DIY omelette, adding spinach and mushrooms. My party also got the Mcclure Sandwich w bacon, which was seemed to meet their expectations as well. This is a sports bar - it's a little divey but the clean kind. I read a few reviews that surprised me because I don't think Sporty's is advertising anything outside of expectation - but it's very clean, which is nice. There was only 1 server working and she was busy on a weekday (4 parties, 1 of which was 5 people and folks still coming in), seemed like 1 bar back for those in the bar (which was lowkey popping for a weekday brunch time, looking like locals having drinks to kick it rather than eating). My only caveat would be if you go towards the restroom - there is a super strong scent of cigarettes, as the door to the back is near there. It's incredibly strong. The bathroom was still super clean and did NOT smell at all. Again, this is a sports bar - I don't think it's fair to downrate them for that, because I just don't know what one would expect. There's a strong local vibe here I haven't seen in a while, and it's clear they value their connection with customers.

I started without the Corned beef hash…read more Well, at least that's what they billed it as I think that the oil they used to fry was probably the most industrial version of canola byproduct possible. And now in hindsight, I'm going to presume that what they called corn beef was probably some pink slime aggregate that was marketed under that name given seasoning and whatever else. I tried to beat some of the flavor by having a little bit of someone else's pancake, but whatever was in the pancake batter just tasted like VOCs and other assorted chemistry I wish I was joking. If I was, my gut wouldn't feel like the absolute cesspool that it has become trying to pass this ***slop. Someone else had fried potatoes and I thought that at least potato might be a little bit more pure since it was a whole ingredient, but it just tasted like resin because of how long the grease had been on the fryer that had cooked it If I didn't know this country for what it is, I would have called the health inspector on the place

Not a bad bottle shop for Vashon Island! There is a wide variety of alcoholic and non-alcoholic…read morebeverages to choose from here. There are gourmet sodas, kombucha and lots of beer primarily within the radius of the local area but a few out of state beer as well. I didn't order any of the food here but the beverage selection in my mind is what you should come for here. Nice, clean and bright place makes this a great break from shopping in Vashon.

That doesn't mean that my…read moreprior visits were lacking...they have each been great, only more personable the more I visit. Parking is limited, but there is a Park & Ride just up the way and a short walk to the lounge. Walk through the main doors of The Wild Mermaid and back to the Seagull lounge. You will find a large wrap around bar that seats around 12. Spirits (limited, but good), wine (3-4 varieties) and beer (6 draft), again, good selection. Service has been amazing each visit. Our first visit (my wife and I), we arrived a bit early hoping to grab a drink before catching the ferry. They weren't quite open in the back, but the bartender offered to pour a beer or wIne since we made the trip in. We sat on the back patio and enjoyed the view and watched the the ferries dock. It was a GREAT 1st impression and that's what keeps us coming back. Saturday evenings (around 7) were bustling with what to seem are locals. Again, welcoming and service top notch! We haven't eaten here, so I cannot speak for the food, but people all around us were eating and ordering more. Again, if you have some time before catching the ferry, or just decide to walk on just to visit this place...(remember, check the hours) its worth it. We will be coming back to this little gem over and over.

The awesome staff mentioned that their tasting room was close by so we decided to go the next day to try more of their bottles. Tasting flight is $15 with a $5 upgrades to try a liqueur and the non-alcoholic cider as a finishing palate cleanser. We bought their Pippin cider and ended up getting another set of their non-alcoholic cider. A friend bought their liqueur saying it had a very interesting and unique flavor that reminded him of childhood memories - that earthy, outdoors freedom he grew up with. The tasting room is a beautiful, open space and great to relax in as you sample the various ciders. You can also order full glasses if you have a favorite. There is a big patio outside lined with apple trees and lots of grassy area to lay a picnic blanket and more seating.

The tasting room was bright and modern and the cider experts that led the tasting were knowledgeable and friendly! They made what could have be mundane, fun!

This has to be a stop on your Vashon Island day or weekend trip! I also love that it is a locally owned and operated business!

Lots of easy parking here, but slightly hard to locate the entrance if you don't know where you are going. I'd been to whatever was in this location before and like this a lot better. It's kind of dark inside, but is separated into 3 different rooms with pool in the back. Looks like they have regular events here too, but I have yet to check this out. The history of this location is cool. I appreciate a happy hour that goes til 7 pm. I am also thankful for the option to get pizza with dairy free cheese, this was pricey, but tasty. My favorite part was being able to check out all the Rainer memorabilia. I will plan to stop off here in the future when the traffic on the freeway is unbearable.

From the music, to the canvas choice, and the energy, Heather made sure everything was exactly what I wanted. The paint party was SOOOO FUN. Heather's playlist and painting instructions were on point, and Mike made sure we had everything we needed (fresh brushes, drinks, and more). All of my guests were really happy with their paintings and a few said they wanted to plan MORE paint parties. So we'll definitely be back!!! The studio is spacious, clean, and really well equipped. The sound system is great. The tables have custom recessed drink holders, so you don't have to worry about knocking your beer over. Their aprons are cloth instead of plastic, so bonus points for less waste. AND we got to smash our leftover paint onto a canvas for extra creativity. You can tell that they put a lot of thought into the space, and I loved all the details. Plenty of parking too!
