This was a cozy little pub with a sports vibe with the jerseys, flags and pedal bikes donning the walls and ceiling. Has an “old” feel to it with its creaky wood floors and wooden ceiling. The service was friendly but a bit slow which was fine, I was able to sip and enjoy my brew while I waited for my biscuits and gravy! Located in old town Anacortes, it is minutes away from Cap Sante park and downtown. Parking was available along 4th street.

There was 1 other person sitting at the

I feel bad for giving a poor review to the Brown Lantern,but it's well deserved tonight. My wife ordered the carne asada tacos. I'm not sure what the meat was but it certainly was not Carne asada, as I would know it. The meat was very dry, very old and reheated. The food was served lukewarm and had a burnt flavor. I ended up sharing my dinner with my wife so that she didn't go home hungry because what was served in the way of tacos was not edible. The staff was very attentive that was working with the public. They did their job fantastically. They had a one-man band musician who was very enter
