Historical landmark and local fav on Mercer Island. It is a converted "inn" that is now a pub, and sits smack dab in the middle of a neighborhood surrounded by trees. Good bar food, great burgers. Go on Thursday and have the Kickin Krab Chowder. But at the "Rowey" you must have a beer! They rotate on an almost daily basis phenomenal Micro brews! You might get lucky and be there when they have "Pliny the younger" on tap! Great waitstaff, fun atmosphere, just don't ding the Porsche on the way in!
