Would give 6 stars if I could! Came here on a Sunday afternoon for their happy hour menu and was not disappointed! Service on point, fantastic selection of beers & ciders on tap, great portions, and the food…omg delicious!!! We each got the burger & fries, shared the deep fried pickles. Both are a must-try people! Honestly one of the best burgers we’ve ever tried (whatever you’re doing, don’t change it). Loved the location too, so close to the water. We sat on the patio and enjoyed the sea breeze. Cannot wait to come back and I’ll be bringing all my friends! See ya next time

Great location at the end of the main drag and the atmosphere is pretty cool. Big TV’s and very much taphouse vibes. We both ordered a breakfast burrito which was good. We sat inside because it was a little windy the day we visited. There is outside seating available. They also have signs everywhere asking customers to pay with cash. I can understand not wanting to pay fees required for debit and credit card transactions, but it was funky how much they were pushing it. The bathroom was clean and on the main floor that we visited. Not sure if there is multiple levels to this place but it kind of looks there was? Our server was friendly but we had issues with her asking us if we wanted things like more coffee, to go boxes and such, to which we said yes. She walked away from us each time, did other things like drink her coffee, fill up that coffee, get food for another table, get silverware for us, bus a couple tables and other misc things before she would actually bring over what she had offered. Overall a nice place that we’ll likely try again.

Downstairs in the speakeasy, Perfect cocktails, service, and fries, 10/10, 5/5 will go again
– first time upstairs this Sunday, service was poor, food was slow (others arrived later and were served well before us.) and the old fashioned was not even close in quality.

Great Local Spot with a Solid Selection!
The Gateway Taphouse and Grill in Blaine is definitely a place worth checking out if you’re looking for a relaxed atmosphere, good food, and a great selection of drinks. They have a fantastic tap list featuring a variety of local and regional brews, which is always a plus. Whether you’re a hophead or prefer something lighter, you’ll likely find something you’ll enjoy.
The food menu is solid, offering classic pub fare done well. I’ve tried there pulled pork sandwich and it was really tasty and satisfying. The portions are generous, and the quality of the ingredients seems good. It’s the kind of food that pairs perfectly with a cold beer.
Beyond the food and drinks, the atmosphere is welcoming and comfortable. It feels like a true local hangout, but out-of-towners will feel right at home too. The staff is friendly and attentive, making for a pleasant dining experience. It’s a great spot to catch a game, unwind after work, or just enjoy a casual meal with friends.
Overall, the Gateway Taphouse and Grill offers a reliable and enjoyable experience. Definitely recommend giving it a try if you’re in the area! #GatewayTaphouseAndGrill #BlaineWA #LocalEats #CraftBeer #PubGrub #GoodFoodGoodDrinks

I came here in the summer, so my review is late. Loved the whole experience! The bartenders were so nice, the patio is awesome, the live music was fun, the list goes on.
I love that you can have a different experience depending on where you sit!! There’s a lower and upper patio, a really cool speak easy area, and the 2nd floor inside is super cool too.
We got burgers with the side winder fries and I was blown away by how delicious it was. I’m not in the area often enough but I really need to come back for another burger. Absolutely loved my experience here.

Wow! Love this place, the service is great and the food exceptional. Our server was friendly and efficient. I ordered a cheeseburger salad and it did not disappoint! The burgers taste flame grilled and are so flavourful. The salad was perfect with tons of pickles, tomatoes and just the right amount of dressing. Hubby has the Mac and cheese burger and sidewinder fries. Also very good. Great list of bottled/canned beer and an excellent tap list. We will definitely put this on our “go to” list for a good stop!

I usually really enjoy this place, but for the second time my family and I waited at the front for 15 minutes and were not acknowledged by waitstaff. They wouldn’t give us a hello or look us in the eye-really disappointing. As folks who have worked in the industry, we certainly understand if you’re busy and short staffed, but a little kindness/acknowledgment goes a long way.

How have I waited so long to find this Gem. Great burger and dessert, that was amazing! I git my passport to try all the beers from around the world. Next time I will definitely check out their speak easy room down in an old mining tunnel. What a cool place. Chicken wrap was amazing too! Servers were awesome!
