San Juan Brewing Co. — where locals rub elbows and beer wins awards.

Just an 8 minute walk from Friday Harbor Marina, this local watering hole has all the elements that make a rural pub a quintessential part of a community — a large space, down-to-earth service, and local ownership.

But unlike English pubs with dodgy cuisine and standard drinks, has a gastropub worthy menu (at affordable price points) and seassionable beers flavorful enough to win awards (while tame enough to enjoy a few pints without wanting a nap).

It’s a must for any island visit. And did we mention, it’s arguably the most family-friendly restaurant on San Juan Island!
