I eat here a few times a year. Best item on the menu is the crab and cheese sandwich. Great taste and I take half home for later. Good selection of beverages and a nice view Spring/Summer. read more

Saw this place last year and didn't get a chance to go in. Restaurant Bar is definitely someplace I'd hang out. Locations a great view overlooking the water. Service was fantastic and both dishes were had were very good. I just loved the corned beef and cabbage. My wife really like the chicken pot pie. read more

Fun atmosphere with great views. The clam chowder was great and the shepherds pie was delicious!

We had the Reuben sandwich, Guinness Stew w/ side salad and Irish Red and house IPA for refreshments. The food was delicious. Our server Max was spot on and checked on us regularly. This place really shines though in its ability to deliver an old world pub style feel along with spectacular views of the bay. read more

Friendly staff. I had the fried chicken burger with fries and my husband had the cheeseburger. Both were excellent. View was beautiful. Definitely recommend. read more

Great location. Beautiful view, good drink. The bar tender was a bit short and seemed to not want to be three. Too bad . That guy was a buzz kill in what could have been a great experience . read more

Terrible service and food. Disrespectful staff and low quality. Staff seems unhappy to work there and is not helpful.

This place is amazing. In fact, we come here every year when we vacation on Orcas Island at least 2-3 times per trip, so at the ferry dock, we met a really sweet couple and suggested this place and guess what- we saw them there (hi Corgi friends!) Anyhow, back to this restaurant- every single thing is delicious. We've tried everything, and you cannot go wrong because whoever runs the menu is a genius. The view is beautiful, you can see the bay and we often see eagles. Staff is fast, friendly and efficient. Portions are big, prices are fair and we've never had to wait for a table. Seriously, if you visit Orcas Island and don't eat at least one meal here, you are missing out. read more

Great place, great view, great food, and excellent service. Chowder was excellent and Rueben was tasty. I would recommend.

Nice atmosphere with a great view! Friendly service though the woman who delivered our food was a bit abrupt. We had the fish burger and shepherd's pie. Both were very tasty. They have an amazing number of Irish whiskeys! read more

We came here following a recommendation from one of the groundskeepers at the Orcas Hotel (shoutout to Stewart), and we were so happy we got the chance to try this place out. The views from here are the BEST. You get ocean views from corner to corner, and the vibe is super chill. We were here on a Monday evening, so it was a bit empty, but I could see this place getting super busy. It's large enough for events. We ordered: -Fish & Chips - Fiancé recommended I get this since he read it's a hit at this place, and I kind of regret it. It was good, don't get me wrong, but there were other dishes I wanted to try as well. I should have gotten the Guinness Stew, so we'll have to be back to give it another go. -Corned Beef Hash - Fiancé loved this; he says it was filling and flavorful, so if that's your thing, I'd recommend this dish. Irish Coffee--We felt like we should have just ordered these the whole time, mainly because it was closer to evening, and we were getting a bit tired from hiking earlier, so this woke us up. -Guinness and a few other beers The host and servers were all super nice and quick to help us out, but they were just not very chatty. A few people started a conversation and got quickly cut off, so this may not be the place for that. The bar was full of locals, so I can see this spot as a fun place for locals to meet up during the week. Highly recommend, if you're ever in the area. We noticed there is another restaurant with Bay views as well, but these guys are smack dab in the middle of the water views, so if you want that with a classic pub vibe, this is a good place to check out. read more

Went on a clear Friday evening and chose seats by the window. The view outside was gorgeous, facing the fishing bay with calm waters. Server was attentive and ordered shepherd's pie that came out promptly. It was as expected for typical Irish bar fare yet not too filling. The only thing that bothered me was a few tiny flies that kept buzzing around. Perhaps it was because we were sitting by the window. read more

I would Highly recommend Cascade Fence and Deck. Lucas helped us conceptualize a upgrade to our fence and also gave a reasonable quote for a repair to our deck; then completed the deck repair in a timely and professional manner. read more

Food was rubbery and overcooked. Won't be visiting again. Staff was kind of rude to other customers.

Service - The two men who juggled seating, bussing, and serving on a busy holiday weekend evening handled the crowds like pros. We waited longer for a table than we did for our food and it wasn't long. Food- top notch....super fresh, generous portions, and perfect amount of seasonings. We started with Irish rolls which basically have Ruben sandwich ingredients tucked into a fried wonton. Holy moley, we were shocked and impressed with how delicious they were! I like how they used a Dubliner cheese instead of Swiss. Then, we had the beef stew, chicken pot pie, salmon burger (big slab of salmon), and the Ruben sandwich. Ahhhhhh! It was as delicious as the view was gorgeous. We will be back!!! read more

We stopped by this rustic place on a whim to try the clam chowder. My goal in life is to try soups, stews, and chowders, when I travel out of state, or country. This chowder was good. I would order it again. We also had the crab dip and it was good as well. Had a glass of wine and my companion had a beer on tap. Service was great and friendly. While we were eating a large group came in for a friendly card game. This is a cool place to hang out. read more

Food very good. We tried the salads and Reuben. Great view of bay from window seating.

I walked into this place to ask about their dog friendly patio that they advertised on their chalk board at the entrance. First, everyone ignored me though there were no other customers. Finally I asked one of the staff about the patio to which I got a rude, I am annoyed, abrupt "it's closed". No explanation. So I asked if it was just today or.... this rude lady said "for the season" I will never set foot in this place again and I would recommend that no one else should either. read more

Pub atmosphere, but surprisingly good food. Our waitress was superb and the atmosphere comfortable. Several TV and a great water view.

We had a lovely lunch and James our server was absolutely wonderful. His positive energy customer service were above and beyond. He was by himself for a while and had multiple tables and was still able to give the best service to all! We will be back and Thank you James for a wonderful afternoon read more

We came here after being out on a whale watching tour. We were all starving. It seemed fairly busy for a Monday evening. It took our waitress a little bit of time to get our drinks out to us, but I wonder if there were just low staff and there was another larger party in the restaurant as well. The local beer I wanted to try wasn't on tap, so I was bummed about that. Food did come out quickly. It's right in the water so you can look out onto the marina. The downtown area is all under construction, so parking is a little tight, so be aware of that. read more

Pretty view. Better than average pub menu. Spot on service and full bar. Bit spendy but my beet salad was great as were the potato skins. Bet it is paced during tourist season. Has outdoor seating at that time. read more

Terrible service!!!! The place was dead, sat there for 15 minutes with no one even acknowledging us. Got up to leave and let the bartender know her service left something to be desired and she screamed at us as we walked out that it was counter service. Really? How would we know that. You are not able to come out from behind the bar. Too busy dancing with the waitress that told us you would help us?? Wow, what a disappointment!! read more

What a wonderful place. We came to the island for a long weekend. First place we stopped was here. Our first time. They were very welcoming, even after our third time during the long weekend. Fish and chips is very good. Hot and battered white fish. Ruben egg rolls, clam chowder and Shepards pie all were very good. We will be back. Thank you! read more

Stopped here because everything else was mostly closed. The service was decent, our drinks and food were out quickly! The shepherds pie was super good, I'd order again. The poutine on the other hand..... it was kinda gross. The fries tasted like they were cooked in old grease, their wasn't much gravy and they use shredded cheese instead of cheese curds. We didn't eat it. Wouldn't order again. The others in our party had the fish and chips and they enjoyed it. Their portions were big as well. read more

We came here after a long day of travel. The food was disappointing for the price. When I got the bill I realized we were upcharged for fries on the kids meal that was clearly included in the price on the menu. We were also upcharged for dressing on a salad. I would not come back. read more

Delicious chicken pot pie, warm atmosphere and beautiful sunset view. Server was very efficient and friendly

Overall a pleasant evening. View is to die for, the food decent and the service quick and efficient.

This is our second time visiting this place. We stopped in here with two of us in 2020 and it was fine. We came off of a whale watching tour and didn't have many options on places to eat because of them closing at 8 PM. This place is opened until 10 PM. We brought the entire family this time. I'm addition most pubs in Washington State do not allow minors and this is no different. Allowed inside but not for outside seating. We sat down and our waiter was nice and charming and came and visited us. We started by ordering drinks. He got to my daughter and was confused on the orange soda. Laughed and said I didn't know we had this. Came to me and I asked about the rotating seasonal beer. He said I need to check on that. Came back 5 mins later and showed me the list because he could t read it and laughed. I said I will take the Rainier. Drinks were delivered except mine. I waited patiently figured it's on its way, 5 minutes later I asked and he said oh yeah one second. Someone else delivered it. We order our food and appetizers. Not many options on the menu and everything is like $20 per item. Everyone orders and I get the cheeseburger. Finally the food arrives and he goes to the other table to deliver our food. Like I know your new but WTF you took the order and should remember the table. We had to say it's our food. It's delivered to us and I asked for ketchup and they ignored me. I waited then had to go to the bar to get the ketchup myself. In the meantime, someone in our party never got his food. The waiter said he never wrote it down. He said what can I do for you. He said it's fine but he waited and finally got it. He ended up getting it to go. Overall I'm saying that this new guy isn't cut out for this line of work. I don't know his situation and hopes it gets better. Our meal wasn't cheap at $201. I left the guy $32 tip. I don't think everyone would be as kind as I was. This review is a single star but I have the kid a 15% tip. I know all places are hurting for staff and as long as you can work is all that matters. I will not be back here again. It's a cool place to visit if the service rocks. In addition, how did I forget that he (server) took my cc and forgot to give it back to me. My kids he glanced at and said I should card you but you look 21 so remember I cut you a break. 4/5 are 21 or older. But then the 26 year old said yes, I can get drunk tonight. Haha read more

I think this is the best calamari I've ever had! The lemon aïoli was a tad too sweet, so I squeezed my lemon in it, and then it was perfect! The calamari, it was just tender and crispy and delicious! What a crazy busy day and I felt so sorry for Shelby. Trying to wait on all of us by herself outside on the patio! I hope she got some good tips because she sure deserved it! Alexa should also get a shout out as she remembered me from my last visit and it's just an absolute doll! Thank you all! read more

This little bar and restaurant is right in the middle of the town. A local at the island grocery store recommended we try it out if we wanted good food without the wait. He was correct. We didn't need reservations on a Saturday night and were seated right away. It was relatively busy. Three servers and a busboy were managing their time efficiently. The food was not just bar food but an assortment of great selections (see menu pic). My hubby had the tomato bisque soup (see pic). He said is was very good with a "little bite" to it. I had the Guiness grilled chicken burger (see pic). It was yummy. I could taste a hint of the Guiness with every bite. We will be back! read more

Great pub food, beautiful view! We loved the crab melt and Reuben sandwich. Great service, we'll be back!

My sister and I wanted something quick and casual. Considering everything is pretty much closed on Mondays here, we decided to try white horse. I elected to go with the Guiness stew. I was so pleased with my choice. The stew was thick and warm. It was perfect for the cold raining evening. We were even lucky enough to have a seal join us for dinner. read more

Meh. My shepherd's pie was quite plain. Wife's dish was a bit better though had too much pepper. Server disappeared after delivering food and couldn't get water refill until we were ready to go and had waited quite a while to get the check. read more

Hub and I were treated very kindly here. It's our first visit to this town and, so far so good. I went for the fish and chips which, was a huge portion. I ended up telling hub not to order any food other than oysters. The fish and chips were on the greasy side along with the fries though. However it was still very flavorful and very filling. Lunch were paired with nice IPA and a teeny glass of theirBlueberry lemon drop. This lemon drop was made strong it made me wink several times. Whoa! That was a good small treat. The vibe was on the Noisy side than expected --given there weren't many people but crashing or falling of dishes was enough to turn heads. Anyway, this is an Irish pub that serve their top fave dishes. People seemed happy and content with their meals. All in all, it was a pleasant, chill afternoon. It's the only Irish pub in this small but quaint friendly town. read more

Walked in to try this place for lunch and spent about 20 minutes trying to get service before walking out... We headed downstairs to try and snag a table on the patio but there wasn't any servers to be found. We headed back upstairs and were told we would be helped in just a moment. Five minutes later they told us we could take the last table downstairs. We sat outside and waited another 10 minutes. Our server said she would be back with menus but alas - no menus were given so we ended up leaving. The staff was obviously overwhelmed with the rush as there were many tables assigned to one server. For management, please consider staffing more on the weekend because you lost our business and two other tables who were also trying to sit outside - we all left together. read more

We were turned off by WH's description as a sports bar, but craving fish & chips near the end of our stay on the island we came in anyway and were glad we did. Friendly and quick service, the food was quite good, better than the average Irish/British pub. The Irish Spring Rolls in particular were a happy surprise, great balance of horseradishy spiciness with the savory meat and cheese. The fish and chips was excellent, generous portions and a light batter around perfect fish. Even the beets & greens salad was great. We sat and watched the seals popping up and down in the sound and savored our meal over some guinness. A great end to our trip! read more

Great food and great service The view is exceptional as well The corned beef and cabbage role is the bomb Service is prompt and friendly, and this is during lunch rush hour on a Saturday!! So well done And great cocktails!!!!! read more

Got to the island after a crazy ferry trip. Came here and got a seat on the patio. One of the few (maybe 2) places here that has any kind of waterfront seating . Had the crab salad, it was great. Hubby had the Crispy Chicken burger, and he really liked it. Drinks were good. A nice mix of local people and visitors. The view was amazing. Was a great afternoon. We will definitely come here again. read more

It was a hot day and the restaurant was busy. Outdoor seating was closed, so we chose to take our food to go. We got calamari, chowder, and two four-piece fish and chips. The fish and calamari were cooked just right and tasted great. Chowder was just fine. The fries were rubbery. Service was quicker he second time around when I went to pick up the fish we were shorted when we got three piece instead of four piece fish and chips read more
