Great service, amazing food. No wait. Decor is super cute, a modern minimalist vibe. Dogs allowed, it was everything you could ask for highly recommended. read more

This is probably a unique review because my husband and I don't drink, so their extensive cocktail menu isn't taken into account. This is a great place to take someone you want to impress, particularly if you drink. Okay, so the cheese plank. We would go back for just the cheese plank. Wow!!! The cheese itself was incredible but then the 'cracker' is made there and is more like a loaf of unleavened bread!!! It's topped with a fancy cheese something and is super flavorful! And the pickled everything was wonderful!!!!! A great pairing. Honestly we would come back just for this. It was definitely our favorite part and we kept eating it through the meal. The steak was mind blowing!!! I love it when I order "as rare as possible" and actually get a rare steak. The portions were good too. Also, to be honest, I didn't know kale could taste this good! I might've liked it even more than the steak and thankfully there was plenty of both. The risotto was not bad just boring. The carrots were yummy but the rest was just a lot of nothing-- there wasn't much intrigue to the flavors. We normally don't mind dishes without meat but this lacked some pizzaz. Our waitress seemed like she just didn't like us? She never smiled or said anything that wasn't strictly polite. I'm totally not someone who says "women need to smile all the time" but to not smile at all when someone smiles at you? Or when someone says thank you? She was just frigid I guess. We are kind of boring and she looked pretty 'cool' so maybe that's why? We just didn't match the scene? I even caught her glaring at us a couple times from across the room. The ambience is really cool! We liked it overall. However, on the way out, we noticed a photograph of a stark naked woman on the wall. That was super weird and not artistic really. So maybe take it down? It was just random porn for decoration? read more

This place looked cute and the reviews were decent so we figured we would stop while in Bremerton visiting my parents. My husband got the pork chop which was very good but the butternut squash side was cold. I got the crab cakes which for $36 were the smallest crab cakes ever. Not only were they small but they were burnt on the outside and my side was also cold. I ended up sending my meal back and not getting anything else. We both wanted martinis but they didn't offer any top shelf vodka like ketel one or grey goose, their top shelf was Tito's..No thank you!! We tried some brand vodka that we never heard of before and it was okay but not what I would choose again. Ultimately our $70 bill plus tip left us hungry and wanting a good cocktail. Overall this place isn't very good and overpriced by about $10 a meal. A pork chop meal should be in the $20-25 range not $35. I really need to get in the habit of taking pics of my bad food not just the good stuff so people can see I'm not exaggerating. read more

Excellent drinks, food and service! Great music playing and nicely decorated!! I Give it a 10!!

Everything was great! Great food and specialty cocktails. The cocktail list is a bit on the sweet side but, the bartender was able to make a drink just for me that wasn't overly sweet. Also I was a little disappointed on the cheese platter. Small sparse cheese amounts with pickled watermelon, onion and unleavened flatbread. The owner Alan stopped the song 1969 by The Stooges in the middle. I stood up and walked outside immediately and had to a cigarette and fume a bit. My girlfriend told me to let it go. I can't :( read more

Great spot to enjoy drinks and small bites with friends. Ambiance inside can be a little loud, but not a big deal, and the patio was ideal for conversations. The house cocktails were unique, Saturn was phenomenal. Also, the not-cocktails you can spike. I added a shot of vodka to the Pom & Ginger Sparkler. Only ordered the gumbo and shared it with my hubby; they split it into two bowls, which was nice! Only downside was the delay in receiving food, our table had gone through two rounds of drinks before food arrived. However, the food was worth the wait. read more

Absolutely a favorite. Such a special place in our community. With owners (always present) and staff that care. Best variety of delicious & innovative cocktails. With extra attention to the menu. The ambiance is unique and very welcoming. Go here. read more

Cute atmosphere, service is excellent, food was good but I shouldn't have ordered a vegan burger, it'll never be the real thing.

Brought our dog in to the restaurant who was welcomed inside and the staff were very nice to her. The house martinis were fantastic and the food was quite good. read more

Haven't had the pleasure of coffee and pastries downstairs yet, (They close at 3pm) But the Upstairs Restaurant/Bar stays open late and it has a really cool feel to it. Found this place while walking my dog and stopped for a snack. Found myself sitting next to an open window with a wonderful view of the park, even allowing me to bring my dog in to sit with me at my table. (Talked to the couple that opened this place and they are totally dog friendly !! Cool Folks !) There's a small bar to the left in this small but cozy upstairs dining area. There is even some outside seating in a little garden with an awesome Dog Mural on the side of the building. Only open a short amount of time so I plan to visit more to see how they do. read more

Right off the bat the atmosphere makes me feel like I'm in Ballard. Lovely decor, it's very inviting and warm. Customer service was great this time (see below). However we did attend once before to wait for a seat with our 6 month old daughter, and the waitress was a bit rude and I could tell they weren't excited about kids so we left. Drink was excellent, I got the tequila one (forgot what it's called, on the top half of menu). Food was not great overall. The bread and cheese platter was the best thing - excellent - however you can't really mess that up. I got the mussels, they were decent and the portions large, side bread was dry though. The fiancée got the Mac and cheese and it was extremely salty. We sent it back twice and it didn't get any better, however the waitress and chef were very accommodating about the issue. I'm sure it was just the batch of cheese sauce they made that day and not representative of their Mac and cheese all the time. Food is pricey, but for the style not too bad. Overall I would come here for drinks with friends for the tasty drinks and nice atmosphere, but not for food. read more

First I appreciate them fitting in a table of 7 people with only a 2 hour notice. That's basically 1/5 of their tables. Ambience and cocktails are a solid 5 stars, the decor and playlist were great! The service and food were 2-3 stars. We tried basically everything; the olives, devilish eggs, cheese plate, pate, wings, cod, hot dogs, squash, pea cakes. None of it had really stands out. The pea cakes were supposed to have poblano, none of which I could taste, the pate had a decent, mild flavor, but was a little gritty. The chocolate coffee mousse at the end was fabulous, though! read more

Awesome local spot down by the park. Great coffee. Perfect baked goods, all baked in-house. And some good gluten free options. Can't wait for the bar to open upstairs! I'll definitely be back. read more

This place was awesome under its old name and in its former location and chef/owner Alan is keeping the magic flowing in Manette. The night I was there with my friend Andrea, the local newspaper was covering the name-change and the new side-deck. It was practically old home week as a whos-who of local business and politics turned out for dinner and drinks. I often run into Alan at the farmer's market where he's buying local produce for use in the restaurant. Your meal was likely sourced locally, and practically farm to table, especially during farmer's market season (which sadly, just ended). Watch for the Sunday dinners and the Paella parties. They're pricey, but a real treat. Come from across the street at the Weekender with your bottle of wine and be treated like royalty. Watch for the owner of the bakery across the street. I hear he brings gifts of artisan baguettes from time to time. Hound and Bottle is incredible in all the ways a place can be. And the bartenders are top-notch too. Don't leave without dessert! read more

I was very excited to try Hound + Bottle! It's a small place full of charm. I love the atmosphere. The Ginger Snap was a delightful drink! My husband had the Ernesto H. It was a bit Smokey for my taste. We shared the Beets for an appetizer. The cumin dressing was good but I definitely used the lemon garnish from my drink to brighten it a bit. Cumin and beets are very earthy flavors and the lemon acidity really helped balance the dish. I had the Autumn Pot Pie and my Husband had the Burger. The flavor of the pot pie was exactly what I wanted. I only wished the crust was a bit thicker and there be more veggies chunks. The sauce was incredibly. My husband enjoyed his burger. He only wished there were pickles red onions in place of the raw. He said the whole combo of burger fries and pickle on the side satisfied his craving for a burger. We'll definitely come back and try a few more items on the menu! read more

Great food, really cute and cozy atmosphere, located in manette neighborhood. I would go back for dinner again.

I absolutely adore the HB! We live in the neighborhood and they are our go to spot for special occasions and also just a weeknight when we need a break for cooking. The food is always thoughtful, seasonally inspired and down right tasty. The cocktails are exquisite. Alan, the owner, is a true gem and I love that when (during non covid) I sit down at the bar, he asks how my day was, and he genuinely wants to hear my response. We just got taken out this evening, and although we weren't able to enjoy the ambience of an in-person dining experience, the food and service were so excellent. I cannot recommend HB enough!! read more

Cozy restaurant in Manette. We had the Crab Cakes and Burger. Both were delicious and portion sizes are just right. Don't expect to take home any leftovers! Would like to see better wine selection. read more

First time eating here, and we will be coming back. Small interior with a comfortable feel. The staff were all smiles, and extremely attentive and engaging. The waitress gave no hint that our special request as an appetizer, (maple sweet potato mash) from another dish be added. Two staff even asked if it met our approval, which it most certainly did. The crab cakes were amazing, not very large, but did not have a bunch of needless fillers either. My date had the Autumn Pot Pie which was fresh and very good. read more

H&B has the best drinks in Bremerton by far! The food is also very fresh, the limited menu ensures that each meal served is high quality and presented in the best possible manner. The staff are excellent and work has to ensure you have the best experience possible. If you are in Bremerton make sure you check out H&B! read more

Yes, the comfortable laid back feel, in addition to the hip vibe, gives Honor Bar the impression of being the perfect new favorite place. I was hopeful but ... Looking at the happy hour menu caused me to broke briefly pause; I like a goo be sd HH to wow me with delicious hotter r appetizers or small intimate plates; honestly, the two deviled eggs and the small chickpea cake not impressive. The HH margarita rocllked and was priced fairly. However, the main entrees were at flavor less cod, with too much rub, a tri tip which was bit too tough, and a small portion chicken wings, were great and seasoned well, was $14. Entrees were $26, over priced. The Mac and cheese, which did taste like a classic but small portioned for $14 was liked by our table. Overall, it's not a place where we will return for too expressive and lacked that culinary spark ... It was simply good enough but forgetable. Hope others continue to experience something much different than I. I understand eveñ read more

Bremerton is in need of new American restaurants, and Hound and Bottle definitely fits the bill! There's a lot to love and some things that weren't perfect. Pros: - Entree portions were good - Food quality was excellent - Entree flavors were excellent - Our waitress was very accommodating when we brought in our 15-month-old and found us a low top table after a few minutes that worked with their solitary high chair. Our waitress was great in general. - Homemade cracker on cheese plate is awesome -- very buttery and short (in the way shortbread is short) - Crab cakes are mostly crab! Currently served with broccolini and potato salad. Remoulade was delicious. - Pork chop was gigantic. Very juicy, even when ordered well done - Burger was very good - Plenty of vegan/veg selections - No one pooh poohed our casual dress (we had just come from hiking) Cons: - Water never refilled - Other wait staff wasn't as friendly - Despite saying family friendly on their website, this definitely did not seem like a kid-friendly place. And that is totally fine! I just would have preferred our expectations been set correctly. - They only had one high chair, and it was beat up and we had to clean it. But at least they had one! - Cocktails were only ok. Almost as if they were almost great but never made it. For example, the lemon bomba was too sweet for a mezcal and citrus drink. - Cheese board was miniature in portion. Delicious items, but should have gotten 2x what was presented. Even looked measly on the board. - Clams were somewhat bland - Very small with few tables indoors and on the patio - Not a lot of low tops... mostly high tops All in all worth a try, but set your expectations accordingly. Good for dates or with girlfriends. read more

Loved this place! The drinks were unique and well made. Our appetizer was so delicious, a cheese and preserves plate with homemade cracker. Our entrees were full of flavor and a generous portion.

I was already drunk when I got here but I forced myself to have several more heihei mule cocktails invented and made by Claire just because it was delicious! Don't forget to eat the crystallized ginger once you finish. This cocktail is to die for and is so reasonably priced for what it tastes like (heaven) read more

My favorite spot in Bremerton! All of the food is thoughtful and delicious. The drinks are beyond creative and satisfying. I love the veggie pot pie. read more

I love the Honor Bar! There aren't too many restaurants of its kind in Kitsap. Interesting, concise menu that includes well thought out craft cocktails. I live in Kingston and make the drive out as much as I can. They have awesome Happy hour and some cool weekday specials. Wonderful staff, just wish they were open more days, but I get it. Keep up the good work! read more

The fella and I just love this place and are stoked to have it down the street from our home. The cocktails are interesting and delicious, the food fresh and seasonal, and the staff very friendly. Their cheese plate never disappoints and they have vegetarian options on the menu. Claire is a master mixologist and has kindly fulfilled drink requests we've made. The decor is adorable and contemporary with neat artifacts to check out. They recently added a small deck for outdoor lingering though we haven't tried it yet. We love the saloon a few doors down but when we're in the mood for fancier vittles we head to Hound and Bottle. It is on the expensive side for Beremerton but it's a such a great place for a date or drinks with friends - plus they have a nice happy hour. read more

This review is a long time coming. I love this place. Drinks - Claire is the ultimate mixologist. She knows flavor profiles inside out. Does all the classics impeccably and spins out some fresh beauties. Food - Quality, done well and with purpose. Fresh oysters, inspiring salads and greens, perfectly seasoned and cooked meats. Even the appetizers have deep thought put into them. Service - The most genuinely nice humans ever. Capable and efficient as well. I like them more than most of my family. Hope they continue getting busy enough to use the downstairs seating more often. It's sharp looking. read more

So so good! Great atmosphere too! The handmade cocktails were absolutely delicious and hard to stop lol!

Great place to catch a bite after a show. Great late happy hour 9:30-11:00 Good food, great atmosphere, happy and fast servers. Cheese plate and house made crackers were awesome. Had happy hour appetizers meatballs, Caesar salad and cheese plate after a show. What more could you ask for? Great deserts! And they have them! Rice pudding was delicious and had awesome fresh strawberries on top. Chocolate mousse was delicious and perfectly sized. Great pick all around saved the night after a horrid experience elsewhere in town. Small space could use more sound deadening materials on the ceiling. People have a LOT of fun here (as they should) and it can get a little loud. Keep up the great work! read more

Cute, eclectic and dog friendly!!! Pork chop was cooked to absolute perfectly. Couldn't recommend this little space more!

Very impressed with this place. It was a little loud but very cozy inside. The food was amazing and I think the prices were perfect. I was afraid that it wouldn't be enough food but they do a very good job. The staff was very friendly. The food presentation was perfect. Will be back soon read more

Disappointing! They were closed. It looked like they have been closed a while for the coffee portion.

Glad that the great atmosphere carried over from the honor bar. New location is nice. Wife and I enjoyed ourselves tremendously when our power went out last week. Will definitely stop by again. BEST Tom Collins around! read more

Came here for my birthday dinner, back in August and came with visitors from Texas. Heard incredible things about the menu and the vibes. Five stars for the interior and the culture. Killer music playlist. Menu was limited and disappointing selections for my birthday, but we enjoyed ourselves the same. Sadly, however, the food was poorly seasoned & horrible service. I have no problem paying more than $12 for an excellent plate, especially if the vibe is precious, but Hound and Bottle left much to be desired. Spent approx. $22 per person, without beverages. With drinks, total easily shot up to $42 per person. Inattentive server totally sealed the deal: Hound and Bottle will not receive recommendations from me. Maybe next time they'll manage to impress this gal. read more
