Total good vibes place. 2 food trucks in the parking lot, A Que Tacos for reliable Mexican and a bbq and seafood joint run by Travis from The Deadliest Catch TV show. Yes, that dude. Super nice guy, he's happy to share his story with you and dang he is pumping out some good food from his truck. Nachos were more than enough for a table of 4. Legit smash burgers, too. Justin the bartender is too good to be true. Seemingly everywhere at once, making sure everyone has what they need. I happily lost 4 hours there.

We felt like we were really imposing on her. When we asked to see a menu. She brought menus over, slapped them on the table without any comment and left us sitting for a good 15 minutes before she came back to take our order. I didn't get her name but she had shoulder length black hair. I think she was nearing the end of her shift because service from another waitress improved when our food was brought out and we paid the bill. The food is considerably better than your standard pub food. I had the prime rib special with baked potato. I was pleasantly surprised that it was cooked exactly as I had requested - medium rare. It came with au jus and baked potato and was exceptional value for just under $12.00. My husband had a salad and chicken wings. The wings were very tasty, very moist and they were nice and plump, not the shrivelled up wings that many pubs seem to serve. However, when my husband asked if he could mix his wings and have 2 different kinds our initial waitress rudely told him this was not possible. Such an imposition! I don't know why this was such an impossible task as it has never been an issue before when we dine out. My husband decided not to make an issue out of it. It's a good thing the food was good. We would definitely return. I would just hope we could avoid our original rude waitress.

The staff were always friendly and attentive, but never overbearing. They had a huge awesome cocktail selection(including blended frozen delights !) at really reasonable prices.

Now, it's become a regular haunt when it's a nice day and I'm in the mood for some good pub food, a tasty cool beer and, oh, an impeccable view over a picturesque Skagit field towards towering Mt. Baker. This place is just about perfect! The food here ranges from pub favorites like wings and burgers, to fresh oyster shooters, to tacos, salads, and some delish house-smoked barbeque. They're also known for Friday prime rib nights, which I haven't enjoyed yet but it's on my list. The service here is super friendly. I've been three times this summer and one of the bartenders already recognizes me! It can be a little slow getting served on busy nights, so I recommend ordering as soon as you can if you're hungry. Otherwise, just settle back with your beer from their amazing taplist (or a cocktail from their full bar), enjoy the view from their vast outdoor patio, and take it all in before the rainy season returns.

We popped in for a quick bite on the way home early on a Saturday evening (6pm?) and the place was…read morealmost full. I think we might have snagged the last free table. Despite it being quite busy, the service was remarkably fast, efficient and friendly! The environment on a Saturday was definitely "pre-party" in that the music was loud (but just under being too loud), the crowd was happy and having fun. I saw at least one round of shooters going by to a table of older folks, lol! If you have an aversion to loud places, try the outdoor seats or maybe wear Loops or other such gear. It is a pub, but kids are allowed until 9pm. As for the food, we just ordered the calamari and the wings (salt & pepper as the hubby can't eat chilies). We were really surprised at how good they both were. The calamari had a thin, crispy coating that wasn't too greasy. The wings were properly and fully cooked without being overcooked. So many busy pubs serve half raw wings, so I was really pleased with the wings. Also, I thought the chicken was of good quality, not something I usually notice with this dish.

With travel restrictions lifted, it was good to go for us, and we were anxious to see Hope, and our friends at 'Kingpin'. For this stay, we checked out a couple of restaurants enjoyed during previous stays, but got either 'we are closed' or 'we are only doing take out' messages. So 'Yea', it was back to 'Kingpin' for two, early-evening dinners during our stay. We dined inside -- a little too warm and sunny out on the patio, and everyone there was inside out of the sun. We shared two Burgers on the first visit, and two Clubhouse Sandwiches during our second visit. Along with cool, large, beer drafts for daughter and I, and ice water for Mom, we did good each time. The burgers and sandwiches were large in size, and along with the sides for each, well-prepared, and so flavourful and tasty. The drinks cool, and totally hitting the spot. Thanks to those at 'Kingpin' once again for contributing so much to the total enjoyment of our stay in Hope. All's willing, we hope to see you again soon.

Features a full bar with cocktails and a great beer selection. Ambiance is fantastic, with dark wood and interesting lighting and decorations. I'll be honest - it smells like dirty bar from time to time, so I'd say cleaning could be improved. The menu has something for everyone. Their burgers are awesome, the tater tots are creative and delicious. I tried the steak tacos the recently and they were very tasty, although the tortillas were slightly over toasted, resulting in a bit more crunch than you'd expect. Service is usually good. The bartenders handle table service, so you could end up with more than one person waiting on you rather than having a dedicated server. This can result in slower service times when it's busy, but that's the nature of the beast.

I would highly recommend. I also tried the garrapinadas, which were excellently seasoned and caramelized. The lime gave the caramel a really nice kick! We were able to catch the Alec Shaw performance that night, and the performance was absolutely amazing. The energy in the room, the acoustics, and obviously the performers themselves, provided an amazing experience for everyone.
