Great old dive bar. It's awesome to have a place with such character on Mercer Island. The burgers are good and they have a rice rotating beer selection.

Closest thing I've come to to a British Pub in the USA. Fantastic beer selection, a real beer garden and a porch of epic proportions looking out over Lake WA. Staff are super friendly too

Great historical building, nice beer selection and good bar food. Can be crowded and the antiquity of the building can lose charm quickly.

This place is a classic on Mercer Island. Vesper Martini is delicious and onion rings with ranch are top notch!

Great ambiance, relaxing outdoor setting in the summer. Service was lackluster my first visit, and the burger was nothing to write home about. Apparently Sunday brunches are what they're known for.

Go during the summer and sit outside. Basic bar food, but location is great- very "Mercer Island" in a good way.

A real local treasure. Great rotating tap of local craft brews, sound bar food, fantastic outdoor seating and beer garden.

A historic, charming institution since 1914. The Roanoke is a must stop spot on Mercer Island throughout the year.

I really like the place, but the food service is super slow. Zero urgency. You can watch the cooks from the bar in what seems like slow motion. And it's your most basic bar food, too.

Had the French dip: 3 of 5. Enjoyed the blue cheese side salad. I love the roanoke.

Old (for America) Inn on Mercer Island. Great rustic feel, lots of neon beer promotional kitsch adorns the interior.

Check out the smaller pavilion seating in the back.

Booths outside have heat under the seats - good for cold fall nights. Or cold summer nights.

Friday special Fish n Chips are very good. Order your nachos with chicken and "upside down.". Sunday breakfast is a must!

Wings of Fire are a must, they light up your mouth and your colon. But amazing!!!

The Historic burger may be the absolute best hamburger on the planet.
