It's time for a review update! The Brass Kraken Pub is still right on the water in Poulsbo. They…read moreare no longer family-friendly, so make sure to leave anyone under 21 at home. They have monthly specials that highlight different themes, so be sure to ask about the current food and drink offerings. They offer 18 beers on draft and two ciders, along with Ghostfish Brewing Company gluten-free beer in cans. The menu includes oysters, elk burgers, nachos, wings, calamari, cheese curds, tacos, and more. On weekends, they serve brunch from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. The patio area is nice and features bar stools that wrap around the entire building (there are no tables, just a bar-style railing). It can get a little warm outside since there's limited shade, but the view is to die for. For my gluten-free friends, the Brass Kraken offers gluten-free buns, corn tortillas for tacos, and one fully gluten-free beer option. A great place to visit it you are in the Poulsbo area.

We will start by saying the pork belly tacos are absolutely delicious! Unfortunately, we felt…read morecompelled to write a review because the service staff was disingenuous & dismissive. We also want to add the oyster shooters mignonette sauce was done perfect, but the oysters were a mushy mess... Good, but room for improvement.

I believe the adjacent pizza spot is Wed-Sat. I would check the hours first if you're looking to do both pizza and beer. Side note- merch is on point. The Viking logo is top notch.

The place has a cool vibe that was colored by a family with really young kids that were loud as fuck and running around the playground (tap room). Really don't understand the kids-in-brewery thing, but then again I absolutely do not understand parents who treat public places where people gather to relax (presumably to get away from their kids) like day care facilities. I'll leave it there with as little judgement as I can muster. I digress ... Great beer, really cool space, and top marks for their designer. Their logo is awesome.

Location is great, parking was easy to find, relaxed vibes inside. HORRIBLE SERVICE!…read more I just went to a paint and sip kind of event last night at WRB. After we got settled in the back room, my friend and I went up front to order drinks. My friend asked if there is any food available and the lady at the bar snapped back saying "I don't have even two minutes to make anything". There were maybe 2 or 3 other people in line with us checking in for the event, so it's not like they were slammed. My friend asked if she DID have two minutes, what kind of food is offered. We were told they have pretzels and some kind of sausage thing, and that if we come back up later, she *might* have time to heat something up. Are you kidding me?!?!? I wish I would have gotten her name to include it in this review. Horrible, horrible service. Such a great spot but I'll never come back because of her.

But...the service is fast and friendly, and the food is excellent. We went early on a Wednesday night to try their famous Reuben Sandwich, the daily special for only $12.99! It comes with fresh-made Envy chips and their special dipping sauce-delicious. Even their bottomless soda is a bargain at $3.89. It was the most reasonable, pleasant meal we have had out in awhile-$35 for both of us. We will go again on a different night to try another of their specials.

Probably wouldn't order the old fashioned next time. Menus had a lot of good choices. We ordered the salmon dinner and the halibut plate. Our server was very helpful in ordering and was very friendly. They offer a great happy hour menu at the bar and there is a room to sit in that is over the water and has great views of the harbor. Perfect place to meet for some happy hour wine and treats.

Listen, this place has the ambience and the view ... but that's about where it ends unfortunately…read more I've had a few bad food and service experiences here but keep returning. however, this trip might be my last. We ordered the Appetizer special, which was pork and shrimp dumplings. They were served to us completely raw. The pork was cold and completely raw and doughy, and we only realized this after my fiancé ate an entire dumpling. When we called the server over to ask about it, she took them back to the kitchen who confirmed in fact, yes, the dumplings were uncooked and raw. They offered to make us more,.. and while that's fine they still fed someone raw pork and were barely apologetic. Our server apologizedc and it's not her fault, but the kitchen nor management did absolutely nothing about the situation, even though we expressed that my fiancé had eaten one, and that was what had made us realize that they were completely raw . My friend and I were so disgusted that we could not eat the batch that they brought back to us, Which we told our server when she asked how it was going. You would think after serving someone completely raw pork which they accidentally ate you would not charge for that appetizer.... WRONG. They did absolutely nothing and and proceeded to leave the $17 dumpling appetizer on our bill. We will not be returning to this place and I do not suggest that you bring your business here. They clearly do not care about their customers and only care about making money.

The restaurant is located about two blocks off the main street in downtown Poulsbo. There's street parking available right out front or directly across the street. They offer both savory and sweet pies with a variety of toppings. We opted for the Classic Scottish pie. It was nice and warm and had a nice flavor. The crust was cooked perfectly. Staff was friendly and helpful. They have a few tables inside and outside available. The restaurant was clean. Would highly recommend.
