“ Step aside, Shakespeare, because I've found the literary gem of our time. This local pub on Camano Island is a Shakespearean tragedy turned comedy, with pints instead of iambic pentameter. It's a place where libations flow like poetry and the atmosphere is as intoxicating as the drinks. The bartenders are thespians of mixology, crafting cocktails with the finesse of seasoned actors, while the ambiance is a symphony of laughter and camaraderie. If you're seeking refuge from the mundane, look no further; this pub is where the prose of life meets the poetry of inebriation. Five stars for this literary masterpiece disguised as a watering hole! As soon as we walked in, we were met with a mouthwatering fresh out of the oven pizza. Seems to be a favorite around here. Overall, [food, drinks and service] was phenomenal! ”
“ Came on a random week night, so it was slow and quiet. Tagged along with some friends, and I was super impressed with the food! The waitress was so nice, and the food was unbeatable. ”
“ We're local and have been for four generations. We eat out often. This place started out ruff but has recently turned into a gem. The food is much better! The service has been great! Some of the small details could use some attention but they are definitely trending in the right direction. We recently gave them a second chance under the new owners and were glad we did! ”
“ First things first: The food here at Pub 282 is FANTASTIC! Menus here are collaboratively handcrafted amongst the staff - how cool is that?! Everyone gets a say for the specials of the month. I ordered the side Caesar salad (one of the best side salads I’ve had!) and the Siracha bacon Mac n cheese burger - insanely delicious. I definitely brought most of it home. Husband got the California Chicken Wrap and our friend got the Cali On Burger. So so so full of yum! Second, this establishment does SO MUCH for their community! The staff here is so friendly and giving. They partake in helping with their Little Food Pantry, donating money to rescue shelters and the needy, and a zillion other things! What a hub of community service and compassion! THREE thumbs up for Pub 282!! ”
“ Thursday night, live music good food, great company and a good time. Awesome beer selection, I was really surprised to get my favorite beer from a California brewery. The burgers were really good. Fries were good, tots had a great flavor to them. We were stuffed when we left. Live music played and sounded very smooth. The locals were dancing up a storm! We had a really good time. Definitely worth the stop!!! ”
“ Ate here today. The food was awesome! The service was awesome! The menu’s and table were disgusting. We sat at a “clean” table and were given menu’s from the kiosk. Compared to the rest of the places on Camano, this place has quality and value. ”
“ Some seriously awesome burgers. We came in on a Saturday and they were short staffed so we knew we were in for a wait, but they kept our beers full and we had decent weather. And these burgers were worth the weight. So messy and good. Tater tots were a bit undercooked. Caesar salad was amazing. Will go again. ”
“ Fun place to grab a bite to eat. The Brie (photo) was delish. ”
