Built by George MacGuire in 1914, the Roanoke Inn is the oldest business on Mercer Island. During the Inn's early years, Mercer Island was a remote, lush, dairy-farming community and a prime deer-hunting territory. Located one block away from the old ferry dock that served Bellevue, Kirkland and Leschi, the Roanoke quickly became a popular weekend getaway for Seattleites and tourists. The Inn's rich history - complete with its early rumors of dancing girls, Old West gambling games and drinking during Prohibition - helped to earn the Roanoke Inn its position as a Washington State Historical Landmark, registered since 1976.

Don't go to the Roanoke for the food, go for the BEER! Great pub that has been around forever and has a great vibe. Excellent place to meet friends. Order a 1/2 Guiness, 1/2 Hard Cider...it is the BEST!
