What User likes about Roanoke Inn:
Mercer Island has its own version of a dive bar, and it's a fantastic spot. The service is outstanding, the food is excellent—especially the burgers, which are among the best I've had at a bar—and the drinks are also noteworthy. View all feedback. What User doesn't like about Roanoke Inn:

They mentioned that nasal rings are not permitted (I have a septum piercing).

The owner criticized the... View all feedback.

$28.00 for a beer, a margarita, and a lemonade. They forgot the Arnold Palmer an added a bourbon soda and it was another $17.00. At those prices I won't be back

The Roanoke is off the beaten path on beautiful Mercer Island. They have great prices, fantastic cocktails, and the best outdoor seating in the area. Love!!!

Awesome vibe, it's a local gem and reasonably priced. Parking might get tough on more crowded nights

The new outdoor cabanas are great and will be fun for years after CV-19. Each one (that I saw) had it's own heating lamp, light and TV. Many on the outside had...

Not sure why my crew continues to suggest this place. Parking is a pain, several areas within the restaurant are cordoned off so seating for our group was reall...

The food is excellent and the atmosphere is inviting. Every time I visit, I find myself wondering if I should stop by. I'm always glad when I decide to say yes!

If I could give this place 3.5 stars, I would. However, Yelp ratings don't allow for half stars, so I rounded it up to 4 stars. The main reason for this is the...
