With travel restrictions lifted, it was good to go for us, and we were anxious to see Hope, and our friends at 'Kingpin'. For this stay, we checked out a couple of restaurants enjoyed during previous stays, but got either 'we are closed' or 'we are only doing take out' messages. So 'Yea', it was back to 'Kingpin' for two, early-evening dinners during our stay. We dined inside -- a little too warm and sunny out on the patio, and everyone there was inside out of the sun. We shared two Burgers on the first visit, and two Clubhouse Sandwiches during our second visit. Along with cool, large, beer drafts for daughter and I, and ice water for Mom, we did good each time. The burgers and sandwiches were large in size, and along with the sides for each, well-prepared, and so flavourful and tasty. The drinks cool, and totally hitting the spot. Thanks to those at 'Kingpin' once again for contributing so much to the total enjoyment of our stay in Hope. All's willing, we hope to see you again soon.

Twice when we came here, it was getting late ( past 1130 but we still were able to order food! ) While visiting, this was our go to place ! We came here 3 times, and each visit was 5/5! The staff were always friendly and attentive, but never overbearing. They had a huge awesome cocktail selection(including blended frozen delights !) at really reasonable prices. They always had a food and drink special going on. The food was always so very good - we kept coming back ! The atmosphere was super fun and laid back. They played good music at a perfect volume. They also had TVs that showed sports and a smaller one for lotto like Keno. Drinks we enjoyed included - Blended Frozen Peach Belini Bartenders Root Beer Mudslide White Russian Blended Frozen Strawberry Peach Margarita Pint of Canadian with a side of Clamato (my husband said it was the best type of Clamato- he was really pleased) Food selection included Potato Skins ( OMG The BEST Ever !! ) Beef Dip w/ceaser salad Calamari Artichoke Dip Double Bacon Cheeseburger w/onion rings Can't say enough good things about this place.

Despite it being quite busy, the service was remarkably fast, efficient and friendly! The environment on a Saturday was definitely "pre-party" in that the music was loud (but just under being too loud), the crowd was happy and having fun. I saw at least one round of shooters going by to a table of older folks, lol! If you have an aversion to loud places, try the outdoor seats or maybe wear Loops or other such gear. It is a pub, but kids are allowed until 9pm. As for the food, we just ordered the calamari and the wings (salt & pepper as the hubby can't eat chilies). We were really surprised at how good they both were. The calamari had a thin, crispy coating that wasn't too greasy. The wings were properly and fully cooked without being overcooked. So many busy pubs serve half raw wings, so I was really pleased with the wings. Also, I thought the chicken was of good quality, not something I usually notice with this dish.

I knew we were meant to go inside. From the moment we stepped into this historical pub, we could feel the bustling energy and good vibes. The staff were quick to seat us in their back area (conveniently located by their well maintained bathroom) - and told us that they would re-seat us closer to the live music if the main area cleared out a little bit (it was packed and full of big smiles) My husband ordered the pot roast special, which came with fresh veggies and yorkshire pudding. He paired it with a freshly poured pint. His meal came quickly and he couldn't stop gushing about the quality of it. We both sat back and admired the charm of this famous local pub, talking to some of the regulars, as we basked in the the crooning of the talented live blues musicians that graced their stage. Dewdney pub has a rich history. It was originally an Anglican church in 1912 - and later became a pub in 1978. In addition to their charming interior - they also have an epic deck and patio area, which is pure bliss on a beautiful day - with stunning views of the surrounding mountains. And every Sunday - they host an epic blues jams that brings both locals and visiting folk from all over. If you're looking for some quality live music and solid Sunday food specials - don't miss out on this local jammin' gem. Trust.

Since Beef Dip was available on the menu, my husband decided to give that item a try. I settled on having a Chicken Caesar Wrap. Since it was the tail end of lunch hour on a weekday, all the tables cleared up indoors while we were there, and much of the patio cleared out too. For the amount of tables that were left, it still felt like we waited a long time before our food came out. My husband's beef dip was okay, nothing unique or spectacular, very solid with a good portion of roast beef. I ended up with a crispy chicken (I had expected grilled) that was light on the sauce as requested. The only thing we couldn't figure out...the saltiness of the fries. Even my husband found the fries salty and that is one guy that loves his table salt. I thought about telling the waitress, but soon talked myself out of it, fearing the answer would be "that is our normal amount of salt we use." Ironically my husband's sandwich and corresponding juice dip wasn't as salty, and that is usually the saltier one of the combo! Was a nice experience. Decor was good, service was good (sans slow food) and we may stay away from the fries next time.

In the evening, after booking a motel, I also went back there to grab a takeout burger. The place is clean and the service is friendly. The lock on the bathroom stall was broken so I had to hold the handle while using the toilet anytime somebody walked in, which was unfortunate. My order also got screwed up, as I ordered dry Cajun wings but the server brought me dry garlic. Also of note, the service was a little bit slow all around, but still friendly. On the plus side, it was nice and very cool inside which was amazing because we were all defeated by the sun. The patio is top-tier too, with views over the parched mountains surrounding Princeton. The food is nothing to write home about - just standard pub food - but the portions are ample and everything tastes fresh. The dry garlic wings were a little bland, with just garlic powder and a bit of salt on them, but were meaty and not over-fried. The Thai chicken salad, with a sliced chicken breast on top, was huge and filled with variety, but lacked a bit in the taste department. It comes with lettuce, bok choy, soft rice noodles, peppers, onions, peanuts and tomatoes, and was dressed with a peanut and Thai sauce. Later in the evening, the 1516 on draft was nice and cold, and the Bridge Burger (beef) was pretty tasty! The burger was topped with the standards, but the homemade bacon jam really sets it apart! The accompanying yam fries, however, were slightly undercooked, so I only had a few and tossed them out. It was a real shame, seeing as how the burg was on point! In conclusion, go check this place out if you're in town and looking for some decent pub grub and cold beers. They have buckets of mix n matched tall boys for $25 for 5, which is good in my books. Also, my friends had the Beef Dip and Chicken Club House and raved about them being good! At the very least you'll leave full and tipsy!

I can't wait to go back and try some other items on the menu, this is a cool little spot tucked away out in the flats, and now I know the reason why there are always a few cars there when I drive by.

Now, it's become a regular haunt when it's a nice day and I'm in the mood for some good pub food, a tasty cool beer and, oh, an impeccable view over a picturesque Skagit field towards towering Mt. Baker. This place is just about perfect! The food here ranges from pub favorites like wings and burgers, to fresh oyster shooters, to tacos, salads, and some delish house-smoked barbeque. They're also known for Friday prime rib nights, which I haven't enjoyed yet but it's on my list. The service here is super friendly. I've been three times this summer and one of the bartenders already recognizes me! It can be a little slow getting served on busy nights, so I recommend ordering as soon as you can if you're hungry. Otherwise, just settle back with your beer from their amazing taplist (or a cocktail from their full bar), enjoy the view from their vast outdoor patio, and take it all in before the rainy season returns.

We felt like we were really imposing on her. When we asked to see a menu. She brought menus over, slapped them on the table without any comment and left us sitting for a good 15 minutes before she came back to take our order. I didn't get her name but she had shoulder length black hair. I think she was nearing the end of her shift because service from another waitress improved when our food was brought out and we paid the bill. The food is considerably better than your standard pub food. I had the prime rib special with baked potato. I was pleasantly surprised that it was cooked exactly as I had requested - medium rare. It came with au jus and baked potato and was exceptional value for just under $12.00. My husband had a salad and chicken wings. The wings were very tasty, very moist and they were nice and plump, not the shrivelled up wings that many pubs seem to serve. However, when my husband asked if he could mix his wings and have 2 different kinds our initial waitress rudely told him this was not possible. Such an imposition! I don't know why this was such an impossible task as it has never been an issue before when we dine out. My husband decided not to make an issue out of it. It's a good thing the food was good. We would definitely return. I would just hope we could avoid our original rude waitress.
