Overall Score: 95.0
Selection: 4.75 | Service: 4.75 | Atmosphere: 4.75 | Food: 4.5

The Anacortes Brewery and Rockfish Grill is in the historic Anacortes small-town downtown, in an older one story brick building. It’s a friendly, welcoming destination with superb beer, good food, and a great pub atmosphere.

There are four regular beers - Porter, IPA (one of the best NW IPAs), Pilsner, and Amber. There are also six special innovative beers that rotate through, for example, bourbon barrel aged porter, Galena single hop pale, ale, Noel (strong hoppy brown ale). And there’s a cask beer on Fridays. (You can also buy a growler of beer to-go.)

The brewery itself is in the adjacent store front and you can see it from windows in front or from inside the bar area. The bar runs back from the front entrance on the right side and is separated from the restaurant section on the left by a half wall. The bar itself is wooden and has a great wood bar back with several ornate columns and a large mirror. Seating in the bar is on fixed bar stools (soda fountain style) and quite a few stools with narrow tables. The walls are a deep yellow color and the tall ceiling is black with exposed heating ducts and great art deco frosted glass light fixtures. Various fish items and beer or fish framed prints provide the decoration. The canvas curtains and some areas on the walls have modern, minimalist fish imprints that are quite effective.

The food is good. Quite a few seafood options as well as burgers, sandwiches, wood-fired pizza, and salads. The oysters are delicious.
