Great staff and service to go along with the Irish fare. Guiness stew, Guinness chicken sandwich and two Dungeness crab did the trick for this group. Was a bit of a wait on a Sunday noon in eastsound, bit well worth it. Thanks to the great staff for all of the attentiveness! read more

Super friendly service. Beautiful view and awesome crab sandwich. My sweetie had the Reuben with goat cheese. So good

We were here twice for drinks and appetizers. Service was warm and hospitable. Happy hour prices are great. The potato skins were cheesy and yummy and the Irish spring rolls were a meal! read more

We went here two days in a row during our stay on Orcas. A great place to grab a cocktail or two! The staff is very friendly and it has a beautiful view of the water. I enjoyed the smoked apple margarita each visit! read more

You may find yourself here in the winter time with most restaurants closed and the White Horse as your only option for food. That's how we wound up here. The last very out wasn't for a while, and at 6 we wandered in. I tried for a hot chocolate, though it was lukewarm and watery. The caesar salad I got was overwhelmed by the croutons (I'm a lover of garlic, though these were so perfumed with garlic it was nearly inedible). Luckily, the veggie burger and fries was a solid option. The people working here were kind, and it was nice that they let us hang out here and sit around for a while. The service bumped this experience up a star. read more

This might be a good place to get drunk, hang out and have a few drinks but honestly I think it ends there. Here's the breakdown: Fish and chips: fish was fine, not spectacular, fries were pretty awful. This is something that should be really hard to mess up. Almost like the oil wasn't hot enough? Or maybe they were re-cooked? Shoe string fries with some skin but soggy and greasy. Pear, walnut and blue cheese salad: it was okay, but not for $17. I wish I had taken a picture to demonstrate. I ordered a side of salmon as well that didn't come out till later and was raw inside. It smelled super fishy. Waitress was nice about it being late and didn't charge extra for it so I brought it home and I'll cook it through later. Basically, I would advise against going there for anything beyond a couple beers. read more

If you love dive bars, great service and crab melts with a view. This place is for you.

Wow! I haven't been on the island for a long time. I stopped, on my way to Rosario just to connect to the island and feel like home again. The view was amazing. The staff; hmm, not so much. The bartender needs to find another job-seriously. I dine out, nearly nightly. This was the worst experience of "service"' I have seen in a long time. read more

This is definitely the most "touristy" of the bars in Eastsound -- the rest are more "local" -- but we really enjoyed it. The service was SO friendly -- the servers and bartenders actually seem to enjoy their jobs. And, of course, the view out the big picture window out the back is just amazing, and probably the main reason I'd recommend this place. Atmosphere is sort of a mix between Irish pub and local sports bar. They also have a pool table. We didn't eat here, just had drinks and lingered to enjoy the view. Even though it was a Saturday night, nobody pressured us out of our seats at the window, which I appreciated. We went in the off-season but I expect this place would get a bit nuts in summer. Come here if you're on Orcas and want a nice warm place for a drink with a great view. read more

A great down to earth Irish pub. Staff very friendly. Beautiful view of the sound and a Summertime patio downstairs (dog friendly on the patio) Appetizers are delicious. My husband has the fish and chips and it was so so. Over cooked, But the hamburger I saw my neighbor had looked out of this world! I come often for a happy hour break when Im on the Island. read more

I wish I didn't live 4 hours away so I could eat this Shepard's pie everyday. So amazing read more

The White Horse Pub - Shepard's Pie - Irish Near Me - Eastsound, Washington

They still had the St. Patrick's Day celebration decoration were still up so it felt like we were still partying! After a long hike, I really felt like some food. My favourite was the wings! They were large and had a hint of beer batter... We ended up ordering two plates of calamari too! read more

Great views and good food. I'm only leaving two stars because the service was awful. I waited 40+ minutes to get my order. All around great views and good food, but servers need to learn to be more polite. Made me get up to go and get my drink from the bar. Never seen that before, but the views and food saved the experience from a 1 star overall. read more

The White Horse Pub - Bangers and Mash - Irish Near Me - Eastsound, Washington

Only tried some drinks late at night as their kitchen was closed. The view of the water is what makes this place worthwhile... We ordered a Banana Daiquiri and Mezcal drinks (several rounds) The hostess was very kind. We were hungry, the kitchen was closed so made do with Doritos :) GREAT view, decent service read more

Great place to have a drink and eat and watch the bay, cheerful service from the staff, would definitely recommend it!

The fish and chips here were excellent! Perfect batter, crispy and not greasy, with wonderfully flakey white fish. Oysters were crazy good. Chowder had tons of clams and great flavor. Even better than the food is the view. read more

If you can find parking and are near death from starvation then try this place. We were here for over an hour and saw our server once. They were polite. Other staff dropped our meals off and darted. Food was a strong meh. View from the deck was amazing though. read more

Best front row seat in town over Madrona, but service is always complicated. They make it clear you are a nuisance and outdoor seating is the best view while they roll your eyes at you. We still come back because we can walk from our house, but mainly for cocktails or beverages. Definitely not for the food. read more

This place fucking sucks! Disgusting food bad service. Never going back ever again. The atmosphere reminds me of a cold cigarette ashtray.

Our favorite stop on the island. They were so nice & family friendly & the beet salad was SO SO good.

Staff did a great job of accommodating us. We had two dogs and they offered us takeout as an option since the patio was unavailable. Went above and beyond with customer service and the food was great too. Will come back again! read more

Gorgeous waterfront views, friendliest staff on the island along with delicious Irish pub food and local beer! A must while on Orcas Island!

Not many restaurants stay open late in Orcas so we chose this one. The oysters were AMAZING, highly recommend. I had the Cesar salad for my meal and it wasn't enjoyable but my boyfriend had the cod sandwich and it was wonderful! The service was great but you have to be 21 and up to sit in the bar area which is usually all thats available so just keep that in mind. read more

Worst bar on the island. Rude staff . Overpriced and horrible atmosphere. Avoid at all cost - go to the brewery instead!

Solid pub fare with something for most. The beef stew I had was tasty. Staff was friendly and attentive even under busy conditions.

Guinness Stew was off. Maybe too much celery salt? It was just not pleasant. The poutine also tasted meh. Like the shredded cheddar was the cheapest available. The music was extremely loud. The waitress was kind though and turned it down a little bit. I was disappointed. read more

We sat down on the patio/bar area below after a long day of hiking. Service was fantastic and the view couldn't be beat. Drinks and food were okay for the price (a little pricey for what they were) which is the only reason it's not five stars but with limited options on the island and the good service, we had no real complaints! Would visit here again though I think I'd be interested in trying upstairs to get the full menu. read more

This place is great! They have awesome views and a really good vibe. I got the crispy chicken salad which was amazing and my boyfriend got the fish and chips which was just as delicious. The service was also awesome. Our server was a cool guy with glasses if I remember correctly, and he was hustlin! Highly recommend checking this place out! read more

We were a bit hesitant after we read the latest review, but we decided to try White Horse Pub anyway! What a GREAT PLACE! Our server was awesome! And the food was delicious! We both had the fish & Chips...3 large pieces with plenty of crispy skinny fires! They even brought Malt Vinegar....not everyone does that! And contrary to the previous review the Poutine was really good! Great gravy! To taste better....you'd have to go to Canada! read more

Came in to a relatively empty bar and waitress told us she "would get to us when she could", and we awkwardly stood in the front for over 5 minutes. I ordered the pub fries and they came out alarmingly quick (2 minutes tops), the grease clearly needed to be changed in the fryer. I also found a hair on the top. At this point I was just content paying and leaving. My fiancé had the calamari and said the poor quality and excess amount of batter took away from the quality of fish. Will not be going back here. Likely an okay watering hole if you're going in for a drink but don't recommend testing out the food. read more

Always a good lunch option. Reuben, burger, or fish n chips are always a good option. Showed up at 2pm and the place was surprisingly packed so had to do takeout. Nice atmosphere when it's not so busy with water views. read more

We started our visit attempting to walk into the open bar only to be yelled at by the waitress to wait at the door until she could seat us. About 15 seconds later, her partner motioned us over with hand gestures to seat ourselves in the bar (that was literally empty). I understand we are on our way out of a pandemic, but myself and my coworker were masked up and being very respectful. They treated us like we were a nuisance just by showing up. The views from the bar are amazing. That is the saving grace of the horrible service and food. This is actually my first yelp review, but I felt the service and food was so out of line that I had to warn others. Also, they were blasting music at 6pm , like to the point it was difficult to hear your company across from the table. I get it's a bar, but it is also Orcas Island in the winter...kind of a weird situation at the time we were there and the daylight pouring through the window. The waitress took our order for drinks and food and that went well until the food came. My coworker ordered poutine and it was like nothing I've ever seen: burnt french fries that looked soaked in a bucket of grease with a tomato based sauce on top! Not gravy and cheese curds like every other poutine anyone has ever ordered anywhere. No flavor and greasy. I feed my dog better food. My fish and chips were disgusting. The fries were a burned out mess and the fish was no flavor and dripping of grease. The whole time the bartender/waitress was irritated we were even there. HORRIBLE SERVICE AND HORRIBLE FOOD!!!! Be warned. read more

The staff is really helpful and friendly. Jeannie was excellent, very attentive, and super patient (I tend to ask a lot of questions about the food). The calamari was crispy, and reasonable portion size, the "beets goat (on) salad" was absolutely delicious!! And the view is breathtaking!! Highly recommend this place and to seat on the deck! read more

Went with a group of 9 women for lunch. I got the beet salad and fish and chips. Both were really yummy! The view of the water is lovely as well. read more

The food was good but the waiter seemed a little clueless. They messed up several items and wood forget things we asked for. The drinks took forever to come and we had to ask other waiters for things because ours would have forgotten. The lighting was ok but the paceman machine was not working read more

Food and service was meh. The only Irish thing here was the Guinness. I had the Irish egg rolls and the fish and chips. Egg rolls were bland, but fried properly. However, one should not rely on the dipping sauce to have flavor. The was little to no sauerkraut and if there had been some perhaps there it would have been something more than just a meat bomb. The fish and chips were soggy and under cooked. For the nearly $40 bill this should have been better food. read more

After reading some negative reviews we reluctantly decided to try The White Horse Pub. We were pleasantly surprised to not only find a beautiful view at our table, but the service was attentive. Everyone was following COVID guidelines of wearing masks. The food was tasty and drinks were good. Our experience was a positive one. read more

A not-so-authentic Irish pub on Orcas Island. Great waterfront vista, although the decor, pour, and appetizers were just okay. I'll give it 3.5 stars, mainly for the view. read more
