We were wandering around Port Townsend waiting for our ferry over to Whidbey island and stumbled across this spot! Intrigued we went upstairs and found this cool place to have a drink and a bite to eat. The ambiance was just what we need with some reggae playing and some views of the sound. This would definitely be a regular hang out if we lived there. read more

Port Townsend can be full of tourists on summer day. That and PT's population has above average wealth. Finding a table in a restaurant you want to go to can be a challenge. Five of us had eaten a large, late lunch yet still wanted something light in the evening. We decided clam chowder would be perfect, however the first several places we found on Yelp were full. We ended up at Siren. It's a quaint place up on the second floor of one of the many old buildings in downtown PT. Their deck overlooks the water. Wonderful ambience. The place was hopping. Almost every table was occupied. We finally managed to squeeze the five of us into a table for 4 near the bar. Waitresses were rushing past us at a high rate but none seemed interested in serving us. After a time the bartender strolled over. We all ordered clam chowder, four cups and one bowl, plus some fries and some calamari. We didn't need to wait very long before we got our food. The chowder was okay. The fries great but the calamari wasn't. A tad soggy. We didn't finish it. No one wanted to take our money when we were finished so I went up to the bar to pay. With tip, $95! Perhaps I'm just not used to paying for five people but I don't think we enjoyed our meal to this degree. If you are in Port Townsend and looking for a place to eat, Siren would be a reasonable option. I personally will look for other options. read more

I had a pick up order while I was visiting of the loaded nachos. They were incredible & definitely loaded!! I even asked for extra jalapeños and they really hooked it up. 10/10 When I went inside to both order/and pickup the service was fast, nice and not a long wait and a really cool atmosphere. read more

My we wife and I come here every time we are in town. Our usual fair is appetizers consisting of crab cakes and either clam chowder or calamari, all of which are usually really good. Today however the crab cakes were barely warm and the calamari was over breaded, over cooked and super saturated in fryer oil. We left an entire plate of just breading from the calamari. Hoping the quality is much better next time we're in town. read more

Don't look for another place to wine and dine. Just go here!!! Period. Randomly came across this place wanting a combo of local beers and eats. They carry the Port Townsend Brewery beers to pair with your food. Liam was our server and drink maker. And let me say his customer service and recos were allllll on point. Don't forget to tip your servers well. Kindness goes a long way. So, we first ordered the Spinach Artichoke Dip with pita bread .... Can we just say bomb dot com??? It's fresh, homemade and perfect to share for 2. We also ordered the Cowboy Burger (5/5) and the Shrimp Capellini (10/10 - f-ing delicious!) I would order another plate of just the fries to be honest!!! Super good. Oh and not to forget the Pomegranate Cider Beer x Port Townsend IPA. WINNERS. Had to order 2 rounds. Could've made it 5. Ha. Great little gem. Support local. Would highly recommend. read more

A complaint about being charged for the music: We were not told there would be an automatic 10 percent charge for the music. We were there for dinner and a few drinks at 6:17PM. We paid and left at 8:08 pm. We were not there for the music which had not even started by the time we left. We are regulars to Sirens for several years and this was an unwelcome surprise! read more

Greatest outdoor seating, the view was spectacular. Excellent lemon drop. Very good fish & chips. I didn't taste clams in clam chowder, but tasty as a potato soup. I'll be back. read more

Great fries, brisket sandwich, and avocado chicken sand. I had to send the cioppino back because the broth was too sweet. Seafood didn't seem that fresh either. But they were great to swap it for a brisket sand. read more

I've been here before, and I thought was OK, so I stopped by a couple days ago to get me a $22 (!) cheeseburger. The first thing I noticed when I walked into the building from the street was the strong stench - reminiscent of moldy old vomit. The opposite of appetizing. I figured it was an old joint. so I walked up the stairs anyway. The smell never got better. I walk into the restaurant itself and was greeted by the overpowering smell of patchouli oil. The three guys seated at the bar - their only customers at the time - didn't look to me like hippie stoners (I may be wrong) so I assume the patchouli smell was coming from the cook or the bartender. So I turned around and beat a retreat out the door. I ended up at Sea J's on the other side of town, where the place smelled like FOOD, bacon and grilled onions to be specific, and my $22 got me a super deluxe burger, a hot dog, and a big bowl of chili. Something's got to give: A place that reeks to high heaven AND sky-high food prices are not compatible. read more

This was our first stop in Port Townsend, although it was not intended to be...well, at least not on the day that we arrived, anyway. We were supposed to take the ferry to Coupeville, but high winds made the odyssey too dangerous to attempt, and several of the crossings were cancelled. There was no guarantee *any* of the ferries would run, unless the winds abated somewhat later in the day, so we shifted our plans and made Port Townsend our first stop, instead of visiting it on the way back home the next day. In hindsight, this was the better way to do things! We found parking in a garage nearby, braced ourselves for the fierce buffeting we were about to receive, and walked over to and down Water Street, looking for a place to stop for lunch. Sirens was the first to jump out at us, in equal parts due to its proximity, the historic edifice in which it resides, and a number of interesting items on its menu. Up the stairs we climbed, turning several corners, and found our way inside, where we were seated immediately at a window table near the bar. We were both immediately enamored with its cozy, bookish, antique meets modern décor. Our server, also the bartender, took our order of shrimp tacos, clam chowder, and two cocktails. Our drinks came in a flash, handed to us over the bar, and our food not too many minutes afterward. The shrimp tacos were nice and warm, wrapped in corn tortillas, with a fresh-tasting green chile salsa and cilantro, and the clam chowder thick and hearty, with a sweetness unique to it that I have not encountered elsewhere. We thoroughly enjoyed both! Our experience was light-weight, but everything about it, from the service to the meal, was pleasant, and an excellent introduction for our first visit to Port Townsend. We quickly fell in love with the entire town, as everyone we met, starting with the staff here at Sirens, was cheery, welcoming and inviting. After the fact, a friend of ours, having learned that we visited PT, exclaimed that it was her favorite town in WA, and Sirens her favorite pub. It's not hard to see why! read more

Service was excellent despite being very busy. Won't say what we ate but in our opinion our meals were somewhat overpriced. Our food was decent but not as good as I had hoped. Still a nice little place. Would go again and order something different. read more

Looking for a bite with a view of the water while on a day-trip to Port Townsend in late August and based on local recommendations we stumbled into Sirens. After a very short wait on a Sunday late afternoon we got a great spot seated on the outdoor deck with a fantastic view right over the water. We had to wait a little while for service because they were busy and shorthanded but things happened quickly from there! We ordered a couple beers, nachos, calamari, clams, and oyster shooters and everything came out fairly quickly. Really enjoyed the food and overall experience, matching what we were looking for while taking in the view and sunshine. I haven't spent much time in Port Townsend and will surely be back to explore further- including a repeat visit to Sirens, Cheers! read more

Fun and interesting place. The view is 5 stars, especially if you could get a water-view seat inside or on their deck. It's great. The interior is fun. Very 20's speakeasy. Good design, decor and consistency. Unfortunately, the seats in their booths need to be redone as they have some pokey springs. The food was a 4 star. Not amazing. But fresh and healthy. We had burgers (beware the Gorgonzola might be too much) which were fresh and fish and chips, which were also a solid 4. The French fries were amazing. Service was good. They servers were nice. Seemed like they liked people and liked their job. They weren't amazingly attentive but in todays environment, just having a good attitude is huge. read more

TLDR we were there on a bad night, I'm sure this place is fine and lots of fun on normal nights. ... We were in town during a music festival and everyone for that festival had also flooded this restaurant. We got a beer and a basket of fish and chips to split. The service was relatively fast for such a crazy night and the servers did their best. It was so loud inside, people were shrieking laughing and yelling around the pool table, and because its a pretty enclosed establishment, it was way louder than it may have been. There was some live music at the start of the night but after everyone came in im not sure if it continued. It was set up so that the seating arrangement wasnt super safe in terms of allowing for emergency exit or for the servers or guests to navigate in and out of the room we were in. This particular unfortunate evening, there was a woman sitting on the floor of the hallway in rough shape shouting and heckling everyone who came and left. As we were getting ready to leave, I was in line at the bathroom and she told me (among other things) this location was "Not safe for women." I tried to see if she needed the police called for whatever it was that had happened to her, but she wasn't in an emotional state to accept help. I went back in to get my partner and was like we gotta go this is absolute chaos. BIG NOTE: This will probably not be your experience if you go here on any one normal night. Had this been a normal night of just the regular amount of people and no one having a meltdown in the hall (???), I'm sure you'd have a perfectly pleasant time. We just had an aweful visit, I wish we'd known there was a mcdonalds nearby we shoulda just gone there haha. read more

Sirens sits on the 3rd floor of the Hastings building a Victorian structure completed in 1890. The Sirens bar looks out over the waterfront & Port Townsend Bay. Over the past 5 I have had some good meals there, however the last one was disappointing. Port Townsend is on NE end of the Quimper peninsula, an extension of the Olympic Peninsula. The establishment sits with a view of Admiralty Inlet, 3 islands and the eastern end of the Salish Sea. Sea food is in abundance here especially for clams, mussels, oysters, and the famous Dungeness crab. Which is why I was disappointed the crabmeat used was not local I suspect it was warm water crab from somewhere near Malaysia it most certainly not Dungeness. The crabmeat used was disappointing it ruined the meal. If a small diner can provide fresh Dungeness crabmeat in their salads and omelettes why can't Sirens? That is what we locals expect and if it is good for locals it is good for the tourists. The French fries were also disappointing. Cheap ingredients reflect poorly on the entire community. Sirens is a bar, no one under 21 years is permitted on premises. The seating is comfortable, there is a deck for warm sunny days, a larger dining area has a pool table, restrooms are clean. Service was efficient and pleasant. read more

Not what it used to be, service can be a little pretentious and it's a much older crowd from what it used to be, good is pretty good as is the view though. More of a family dinner spot than a bar you'd go to after a long day or with friends after work. read more

I came on a Tuesday night with my boyfriend in Winter and had a great experience! Lots of street parking outside and then you go up a few flights of stairs and find out seating. Lots of nooks and crannies to sit in and there's also a pool table. the service was immediate and the food came out pretty quickly. I really enjoyed my go cheeseburger and he really liked his steak. Overall had a great experience and would definitely go back and recommend for a date night a little expensive but the view is supposed to be good in the daytime. read more

Great views from the deck. Local beers, we had the seafood pasta and jambalaya and both dishes were very good. The host was a bit strange - when we arrived he said they were full, and because of PT code we could not queue for a table, we'd need to leave and come back. Then, as we were leaving he said he had a table for us. Very strange. read more

The food was good, the location is nice, and our server was nice sweet doing the best they could. This review is really for whoever the manager is- I visited this place on 5/14 and there was one server for the entire place. She was running around to every table trying to get everything squared away. I felt so bad for her. We waited ~40 min for our food to come out. Our server needed more support to ensure everyone here had an enjoyable experience. read more

Get the chowder!!!!!! And make it a bowl. It's very thick, creamy and chalk full of seafood. It was a hot day and it was still a perfect entree. I also ordered the jalapeño poppers wrapped in bacon. You get a fair amount, about 8 jalapeño halves. So it's perfect for sharing or as an entree if you're keto. I thought they were delicious and had the right amount of cream cheese and spice. I didn't even touch the spicy ranch dip that came with them. They were so good on their own. In fact I would have loved if they were spicier; had more seeds. Also, I enjoyed some local beer that paired nicely with my chowder and poppers. My husband ordered the pan fried oysters and I know he loved them because they disappeared fast. I'm not an oyster fan so I didn't even try them. But our friend that dined with us also loved them and ordered some for himself after trying my husbands. The service outside on the patio was great!! We never felt forgotten or rushed. When we first arrived, we did have to wait about 5-10min for another couple to leave to run and grab their empty table out on the balcony. The outside tables are VERY popular because there are Amazing views from this top floor balcony restaurant. The peacefulness really just lets you be comfortable sitting out there, saying nothing. You get swept up in it and find yourself staring off. I bet the sunsets here are excellent. read more

The Fish and Chips! The oyster shooters! The drinks! The atmosphere! Come in and be patient, these folks are popular for a reason. Come in, sit down, enjoy the old world bar or the amazing view. We saw the crew toss 2 dishes because it wasn't up to standard for 1 reason or another. These folks bust their butt!!! Come in and enjoy!!!! read more

Hate to use a cliche, but if I could I'd leave zero stars. What a s**t show this place is. If you're running a business in a tourist town, you should know you're going to be busy on a summer weekend. First, there's no check in station & no one paying attention to who walks in. They tell you to just wander around and look for a table. When the place is full (like on a summer weekend), you have to watch for people leaving and jump in and grab their table before someone else does. Kinda like the hunger games, which applies since we were. Hungry, that is. Took some time to get the server to take our order, but it was "chaotic in here" (she said more than once.) After 45 minutes 2 of our dishes came out, cold. This was fried food, COLD. They offered to have it re-done for us , but really, if you can't do it right in the first 45 minutes I don't trust you to do it right in the second 45. So Nope, never again. If you want to run a restaurant in a tourist town, learn how to run a restaurant. There are many other choices in Port Townsend, and I would recommend you try ANY of them before Sirens read more

Food was fantastic. Our server was attentive and accommodating. Very relaxed environment.

We have always enjoyed it when we choose to come here. The view on the deck is outstanding. The food is always great. The prices are up there, to be expected though all things considered. That said... any higher and I'd lean toward not worth it. read more

I had the house burger & it was delicious! The hamburger had great flavor & the gargonzola was a wonderful addition! The fries were nice & crispy!

Sorry, I was so hungry that I ate the burger up & then realized I forgot the pic! read more

Friendly local brewery with great service and brew choices. Entertainment outside during summer months.

Good place to have a quick meal in Port Townsend. Went on a busy Saturday afternoon and was able to snag a nice outdoor table pretty quickly. The views were great! Also the service was quick and friendly. I had the Cesar salad and added salmon. I wasn't super impressed with this and wish I had gotten something else. Others got the pan fried oysters and the steamed clams and said they were phenomenal! Next time I'm back In the area I would definitely return and get something else as the views and service were nice! read more

No wait for a table at 4:00. No eye contact from waiter who was willing to take a drink order and seemed perturbed we did not see the posted menu as we walked in no QR code at our table. The steamed clams were advertised as wine, butter and shallot steamed. What wasn't stated was garlic. I like garlic as much as any Italian offspring, but WOWIE: mouth on fire! I could not taste my beer after trying 2 of them. I did have to send it back. Ordered the grilled salmon sandwich with the garlic/horseradish sauce on the side: glad I did. Salmon was cold as was the tomato, lettuce and baguette. Very disappointing meal. Great view and interesting and friendly people around us made the 2 hour experience pleasant. We had just that day commented we had never had a poor meal in Port Townsend- well, there is a first time for everything. read more
