I came for the food -- in my case a Reuben sandwich stuffed to the gills -- and coleslaw, though obviously most people choose fries in one of the available variants. Both the sauce on the sandwich and the slaw had a kick to them - a hint of heat that added to the whole. The food was promised for 15-minutes, but took less than 10 -- I like it when promises are kept or even exceeded. The pub had three distinct seating areas: outside in the courtyard, outside under a deck (sheltered, with transparent vinyl sheeting to block the wind, and inside. This is a place where you order and pay at the bar, then find yourself a seat. It's not fancy, it's not upscale, but it's solid with good food and brews. The service was friendly and competent, but young and a touch overly enthusiastic (I'm not fond of being repeatedly called "my man" - not so much because it's excessively familiar - which it is, but because the enthusiastic repetition of the phrase at every chance is a bit forced and formulaic).

To top it off they had a great little gift/candy shop inside.

The Stanwood is as classic and historic as a dive bar can get, and you feel it in your bones here…read more You can almost see them, the echos of farmers, fishermen, lumberjacks and merchants from long ago bellying up to the worn, woody bar, playing cards at the tables, listening to music and local gossip as they smoked, spit and drank by the fireplace on dank northwest evenings of old. My memories here only stretch back a few decades, as a struggling musician playing the occasional show here back in the 90's and early Aughts, when they had local music nights. Stanwood seemed an exotic northern cowtown to this Seattle punk in those days. But the woody, ghosts-and-grit vibe enchanted me even then. Now it's a local hang. So cool. It's the only place in town with a pool table, and it's an uneven, wonderfully funky relic with mysterious, erm, attributes (mind the beam). There's an electronic dart board too, and a "beer garden" (read: outdoor area where you can smoke and drink) in warmer months, for those who haven't yet figured out that smoking is unhealthy and makes you stink. But: there it is. Adults only. Put your phone away. Talk to people. Eat and drink things that you probably shouldn't, and soak it in. The food is decent, no frills bar food, and your bartender (if you're lucky, Amy - she does a fine job) is usually also your cook, so have patience. The drinks are reasonably priced, and I recommend sticking with traditional mid-shelf cocktails and beer, and avoiding the foo-foo frozé stuff and sugary "specials". Those are just headaches in a glass, friend... For lovers of old, haunted places and classic dives, The Stanwood Hotel and Tavern is your huckleberry! Stop by, and see if you don't leave a little of your soul behind here too. You might see me and my gal shooting pool, and laughing about how the cue ball seems to wander off in its own sometimes, especially around that one old reddish stain...

Big bold beers mixed with some great lagers. Skook Beer is one of favorite beers ever! Staff is great and friendly. There are usually food trucks on hand because they do not serve food, and it is 21 and over. Lots of seating indoor and out and is dog friendly. Great place to sit and have a beer and talk with your group! Pay attention to their calendar, they have lots of fun things that happen. New owners have officially taken over so I am excited to see what happens!

Finally got to check out this place! When I was really into craft beer, this was always on my list…read moreto visit but they were located just far enough to visit. The venue was very spacious as expected from a brewery. There were a bunch of wood barrels for their barrel aged offering and stainless steel tanks on the back side of the brewery. They had about 15 to 20 different beers on tap including 2 barrel aged stouts/barley wines and about 6 or 7 different hazy IPAs. They also had one beer named after one of Iron Maiden's songs! (Fear of the Dark!). They do not serve food but they had a vending machine for beef jerky. They allowed dogs indoors. Service was minimal but great. Highly recommended if you're in the area or if you are into craft beer. This is one of the better breweries in Washington for barrel aged beers and hazy NE style IPAs.

Finding a table for three on Valentine's Day without a reservation usually ends in heartbreak, but…read morewe lucked out here! Despite it being a busy holiday evening, we were seated immediately. The vibe was lively but comfortable, with most tables and the bar filled. Since we visited in February, we leaned heavily into their specials menu. We skipped the small plates and went straight for the mains: the Greek Salad with Steak, the Steak and Gorgonzola Flatbread, and the Vine Burger. Every dish was a hit, though my wife found the red wine vinaigrette on the salad to be just "okay" rather than great. For drinks, we stuck to the mocktails. We tried all three on the menu, and the Blueberry Mule (ginger beer based) was the undisputed winner. We'll have to come back for the cocktails another time since they looked promising! We capped the night with the Apple Blossom pastry with vanilla ice cream--it is a total "must-try." Overall, the service was courteous, the ambiance was spot-on, and parking was a breeze. We'll definitely be back!

Such potential! Went for lunch. Didn't have a cocktail but saw several made. They looked good…read more Service wasn't very good. Not sure why, it wasn't busy. I had soup and salad. The soup of the day was fantastic. A sausage, potato and kale soup. Warm, comforting and delicious! The salad was somewhat disappointing. I ordered the quinoa kale salad, with a citrus vinaigrette. There was a little quinoa and kale on top of a large amount of romaine. Not what I expected. It was also served stuffed into a small, tall sided bowl with the dressing on the side. How exactly are you supposed to dress it and eat it? My friend had the burger and fries. The burger was half the size of the bun. She literally removed 50% of the bun. It was also extremely well done. The fries were cold. They don't have decaf coffee, but I was able to order mint tea. It was brought in a cup that smelled like old coffee. The table had been cleared and I had no napkin and he didn't bring one with the tea. There was a slice of lemon I didn't want and I had no place to put it. There is potential here, I hope they pay more attention to providing a quality experience and food.
