The Channel Marker taco night is the BEST! Three tacos, beef or chicken, for $5. Plus a Mexican beer of your choice for $3. Try and find a better deal than that! My new Tuesday night favorite stop! Haven't tried weekend breakfast yet, so can't comment on that yet.....soon to be corrected. . read more

I went in a couple of weeks ago and you tell right away some thing was different, turns out there are new owners. I was with a group of 6, we all had food, and we all agreed it was just OK, nothing really stood out. Portions where on the small side for the price. Service was slow and they got the drink order wrong each time we reordered. Won't be going back anytime soon. read more

I used to love coming on trivia nights but one by one the best employees stopped working here and you can't get ANY service. Last week I was in the restroom when I watched this shorter greasy woman leave without washing her hands. When I came out a few seconds later she was making drinks and grabbing glasses where people put their mouths... DISGUSTING. I am surprised she's allowed to work in food service at all, the owner needs to rethink their business!! read more

If you are looking for a fun local Edmonds bar- don't come here. We went with a large group to try and support a local bar and chose the wrong place. The blonde lady behind the bar was absolutely terrible. Not sure if she was the owner or manager but she was rude and we will not be back. Rory's next time for sure. read more

It's nice having a place so close to the ferry that you can walk up to to get some good food and an ice drink.

The ambiance here is your typical pub. The service was friendly: I had a nice young redhead waiting on me and she was sweet. I came at an awkward time in the day, so it was pretty dead. The food is just OK. I want to come back and give it another try eventually. I also thought their beer batter was more chewy than crunchy, which was somewhat off putting. Over all, though, a solid choice if you're just looking for a place to drink and be social. read more

Mainly bar food which is okay if you don't mind it. It's okay but the chicken wings are to die for! We usually share a plate of 10 with hot sauce and ranch. If really hungry, we'll get the 20 wings, but that's not very often. We've tried almost every dish on the menu. We always come back to the wings. Wait person seemed to be really busy which is not surprising. He was trying to take care of the bar and us. The ambiance is a sports bar. Nothing romantic about it unless both you and your partner are interested in the Mariner's winning. Romance can be anywhere if you love your partner. So there you go. Channel Marker is one of our go to places. We tend to eat late and Channel Marker is open for us when we are ready to eat! read more

This server was distant, had her favorites and only went to them for service. Had to ask for everything or try to catch her. It was really sad. Also, it looked like she needed to wash her hair or take a shower. I want my food served by clean people. Am I asking for too much?? food was great service and attitude was absolutely horrible. She needs a wake up call read more

A OK. A decent pub with good beer and pub food. Nothing special and the chowder was salty, but good times to be had and decent food. Good service overall and nice big tables allow for watching sports etc... This place is a haven for Seahawk fans. read more

I cannot recommend the Tuesday night tacos enough every night of the week. There's something delicious that you have to try here, but I got a chance to visit tonight. I had a soft beef taco with a side of sour cream and salsa. It's a full bar and they were having trivia night so you can partake in the fund and there's plenty of TVs to watch sports. The service was great and very quick. The food tasted like the ingredients was fresh and delicious and I had a blast while I was there I'm definitely coming back but I recommend you stop in if you don't like soft tacos? Try the crunchy tacos take a look at the menu because they got a lot of great stuff to try. read more

SERVICE Horrible. One bartender,no server.Poor girl is running her ass off. Get a clue.

I love playing pool and watching a game here but the last two times I visited the same bartender was clearly drugged out of his mind and I'm not talking Cheech and Chong. He appeared to be barely awake and when I asked him if they had Casadores he said yes (they did not) and then proceeded to pour me a shot of some horrific bottom shelf paint that was undrinkable. My wife still won't drink tequila because of this experience. The bottle was right it front of us and was clearly not Casadores. I also had to remind him of how many drinks we had ordered as he was not keeping track. Thanks for trying to give me a free drink I guess. This place could be a prime dive bar but not if you have people like this working. read more

This is my Shangri-La. This is a highly appropriated, great menu, ouffy sport friendly / local pub / in a business center that doesn't warrant, no or slow service, negative. They hustle, they get it right. They are A+++++ on to-go, order at bar, orders. read more

Great place to just chill out in downtown Edmonds. I met my girlfriend here while in town visiting and we sat for a few hours and just chatted. Wasn't too loud or busy early in the evening and our server was friendly and just let us be. We had the nachos and a Bloody Mary. read more

good pub food and pub atmosphere. the Channel Marker is a favorite stop for lunch after a stroll on the waterfront or just picking up mail at the post office and i don't feel like "brunch" at Claire's. the table service area as you enter is spacious with plenty of room between the tables. the bar area has tall tables that seats up to 6, and a section of electronic games. it's quiet and not rowdy at lunch. electronic jukebox is set at a tolerable volume. the bartenders and the wait staff are quick to approach and take orders. they are pleasant and happy to answer questions. i like the appetizers for "lunch" because the lunch portions are very generous. chicken wings: 8 for 12.99. broasted, crispy, and hot out of the broaster. fish and chips lunch: 3 huge pieces. fresh out of the fryer steamed clam appetizer: served with garlic bread. good value at $10.99 steak bits: tender and good teriyaki seasoning . chicken fried steak: tasty. would prefer a crispy crust. grilled ruben: enough leftover for dinner burgers: most expensive is $17.99 next up: broasted chicken lunch! read more

Falsely advertising discounts for Halibut. But! That's a lie. And they would not change the bill!

Placed an order of grilled cod dinner to go. Got home, and the fish was way over-cooked ... like leather. I called the restaurant at 6pm to let them know (wanting to be helpful) and the person on the phone told me there were no managers there tonight, that I should call back tomorrow. Good grief. So, I gave up. Poor food, poor service, poor response to a customer calling to complain. read more

I went to see a Mariners playoff game and even though it was crowded, there was still a lot of space and seats. The service was nice and lots of TVs, which was exactly what I was looking for! My first time there. read more

We won't be back. The service has always been slow, but tonight - a slow night - it's ridiculous. One person tending bar and taking orders and we got ignored. Mike - needs an attitude change and some manners. **update 2.21.25. My husband now has food poisoning from the French dip he had last night. The meat was bad and he has been sick all night and still today. read more

Channel Marker Pub & Grill - Beer battered pickles! Are a couple - Pubs Near Me - Edmonds, Washington

A chill place with a solid selection of games. Service is a little spotty being on and off, generally friendly but feels a bit unattentive. I was clowned on for ordering the Beef Stroganoff but it was fine. Maybe they use hamburger helper to make it, but it tastes fine, especially if you're just hungry at the end of the day. Price is fair too, but again, maybe low quality ingredients. I will take some blame for my choice of food, so I can't just rag on them. Plus, you come here for cheaper drinks too, not the food. Beef Stroganoff - no mushrooms off the bat, so that's noticeable. Egg noodles are firm but not terrible. Looks a bit unappetizing but tastes fine. Definitely had better but who else orders Beef Stroganoff? Garlic bread was very good though! Wish I had more of that. No pictures exist here so I got y'all. read more

We were a party of 4 ladies. went in at 10:30 am. sat at a tall table in the bar. someone gave us 4 menus and left. we sat there for 15 min. so I got up to see if maybe we were sitting in the wrong area. I asked the waitress if we were in the wrong area. she said I told you it will be a minute. I went back to the table and told the ladies what she said. So we got up and left. as we were walking out the door she yelled Have a nice F****** day!! everyone in th restaurant herd it! WOW!!! Terrible service. no class. read more

A friend of mine suggested this place and so we headed on over after I got out of work. The place was packed when we walked in. When we walked in, there was no hostess stand - it's a first come first serve situation. I asked a waitress if we should just sit anywhere, and she said yes. We had to sit at a table that hadn't been cleared yet. No worries - they were busy. After we saw a (different) waitress in this section greet and get drinks for some people that walked in after us (2 other tables actually) we started to realize we would not be getting helped by her. So, we noticed a spot opened up at the bar. We asked the first waitress if we could sit there and she said of course! She let us know Morgan (bartender) would be helping us. Morgan is a busy woman. We watched her multitask at another level!! Not only was she able to check on orders in the kitchen, cash people out, get pull tabs, and remember our orders, but she did it all while pouring drinks at the same time. She also apologized if she felt something was taking too long. Once we ordered - everything came out fast. The steak was cooked exactly as ordered (sorry I didn't get a pic!) and the chicken gizzards and Caesar salads were pretty good as well. If you're looking for a solid bar and grill with some reasonable prices - and you're not afraid of a little divey atmosphere - then this is a win. If you're lucky, Morgan will be your bartender. We tipped her well - I hope she lets that waitress that ignored us know that ;) read more

Na na na na, na na na na, hey hey hey goodbye... If you find yourself humming this tune you'll feel like I did at the Channel Marker. Large, loud and packed on Tuesday trivia night our foursome took the only vacant seats at the pull tab bar. I'm feeling lucky. It took 30 minutes to share one menu and receive a ginger beer. 20 minutes later I had the soft taco special served to me @$6.95 No surprises here. Lettuce, cheese, tomato and chicken rolled and centered on a checkered paper. Fresh and bland. You can add bottled hot sauce. Trivia is fun. Na na na na, goodbye. read more

Arrived last night about 945pm, maybe 15 to 20 people inside. Sat at a table right in front of the bar, sat for 15 minutes without any acknowledgement even though the bartender looked at us and even walked right by. We left and went for drinks and food 1 block away. Horrible service. read more

We ordered the fish and chips, which we've ordered before. Probably the smallest pieces of fish I've ever seen in a serving of fish and chips. One piece was slightly larger than a tater tot. Plus, they now charge for extra tartar sauce. The fish came out first. We nursed our drinks, while we waited for the fries. Very odd. We've been coming here for years, so I was very disappointed by the service and the small servings. read more

Typical pub with lots of space. The crowed ranged from senior citizens, who were all congregated to one side of the bar, to younger people on the other side. The night I came, there were no bouncers. Maybe they show up just for the weekends? I could tell that this place gets packed when there's a game. I came here for a work function so I couldn't get too crazy. I had a glass of red wine (don't order wine in a pub) lol. Then followed with some Guinness. For food, I got the onion rings and fried chicken wings with their special spicy sauce. I didn't see the big deal about the sauce. It was just ok to me. I'm never in this part of Edmonds, so I doubt I would come back. If invited by friends then I wouldn't mind. read more

Been here twice and it gets worse each time. First visit, bar tender was rude and acted like he was offended we had come in with a group. On the most recent visit, our drink order was messed up, after following up on our food order, we were told the cooks had been on a smoke break but they were now back in the kitchen and then only 2 of the items we ordered showed up. When we asked about the other items we ordered, the waitress said she had forgotten to put in the order! Out of the 2 food items that arrived, the tots were good but the nachos tasted off. No one ate them. read more

They really need to upgrade the sound system for Trivia. Always have a problem hearing.

fun place, look forward to going back up and visiting again. everyone is so friendly and nice and the food is great. close to best western and blocks from kingston ferry. love going to edmonds and staying at the best western so i can go to the channel marker pub and grill. read more

Not sure why there isn't more 5 stars for here. The service was quick and friendly. Full bar and lots of choices for beer. Inside has lots of space between the tables and has pool tables. Lots of choices in the tv. Nachos were crisp, plenty of cheese and fresh jalapeños (vs the mushy pickled ones). Guac and salsa were very flavorful. The chili burger was so good! Plenty of great chili, cheese and onions. Will come back again. read more

Been coming here for 4 years, have seen a wide array of bartenders, servers, and owners. We've always enjoyed food and ambiance. However, this new bartender can't make a drink to save his life. Watered down green tea shots that are gag worthy. Friend ordered a margarita which was 85% sweet and sour mix and 10% ice and 5% tequila. Won't be coming back for mixed drinks or shots anytime soon. read more

Friday night, not overly packed. The staff was friendly and service was decent despite the silly forgetfulness. The food was surprisingly tasty and above my expectations for a bar. We were able to get a table at the dart area and there were cool people playing next to us. The environment felt safe and relaxing. Plenty of fun things to do including darts, pool, pinball, golden tee video game. First time in and we really enjoyed ourselves. We will be back! read more

I have been here a few times over the pandemic and have really enjoyed it. Parking has only been difficult once (but things are more open now). Although they had a nice tent set up in their outdoor patio for winter I am glad to be back inside. Food has always been good. They have fantastic side salads and I love their seafood. I recently came in for their two for one steak and although it was overcooked for me (I like it medium rare) it still had good flavor. Drinks are average. Overall will definitely be back! read more

Update ! Stopped in on a Thursday night to get some wings to go. Bartender so friendly and had a ipa while I waited. I got home and tried a broasted wing and they were more delicious then I can ever imagine .. that hot sauce they should bottle and sell it .. great experience friendly service moving this review up to five stars ... also two days later leftover wings still delicious microwaved .. yum yum yum they are pricy but worth it Stopped in around 4pm on a Friday.. was pretty busy ! No seats at the main bar but sat nearby in a larger table.. ordered two IPA beers.. Lucille.. Perfectly Cold! Ordered 10 chicken wings .. no happy hour food specials .. Wings were good and meaty.. hot sauce flavor kinda boring but asked for a side of the killer and that is where the flavor is ! Everything was $25 .. pretty pricey for two beers and wings ( wings were around $11 I think ? Not sure why everything was $25.00 maybe they charged me for the extra sauce.. or their beers were like $7 each ( looks like $6.50 youza )? I could have been overcharged but too late now ... it's a local place, full of locals .. hardly any happy hour deals .. I would come back for that killer sauce but will pay more attention to the prices ... And find a place with a awesome happy hour deal to enjoy beer that's usually less expensive then $6.50 during happy hour .. read more

I've been coming here for years. They've always had some great food specials, always friendly staff, and a fun place to go. I would have always given it a 4 or 5 star rating. I have always enjoyed and recommended The Channel Marker. However, the last couple times I've showed up in the last 3 weeks haven't been so good. In fact, last night we waited almost 15 minutes to get served and then 50 minutes to get our food. Everything we got was cold.......even the baked potato. My wife said she doesn't want to come back. The staff was apologetic, but it turns out that there is new ownership in the last few weeks and half the staff has quit. That's not a good sign and I only hope they can figure out what's wrong before it buries them. It's always been a wonderful place to go, but I will have to give it 2 stars since the ownership change. Good luck........pick it up......... read more

Awesome service. Real friendly '90's baby' server was super attentive and quick to respond. We went mid day for a beer and some noshes to hold us off til dinner. The nacho appetizer was enough for 5 of us with enough left over for snacking later on. Burgers were good, steak bits great. Atmosphere comfortable and casual. Would recommend to fill that mid afternoon crave:-) read more
