VIsited the Conway Tavern on Saturday May 23, 2009 at about 1pm.  I say about 1pm because it was really a visit lasting from 12:30 to about 2:30 because the kitchen was very, very, very, very, slow.

It seemed busy, being Memorial Day weekend and all.  But there was lots of staff on duty, although they appeared to be quite disoriented and unorganized.

This tavern is what you would call a dive.  Having said that, it's a nice dive.  Frankly, the ONLY reason you would want to take a drive to the Conway Tavern is for the oysters.

Truly, they serve the BEST pan fried oysters in this area.  I'm not sure about their claim that they have the best anywhere this side of the Mississippi.

I had the oyster basket and it was exceptional.  If not for the oysters my rating would fall to one star.

Slow service (although our waitress was very nice and attentive, kitchen was slow) and dive bar atmosphere are small prices to pay for the opportunity to eat the finest pan fried oysters around these parts.

I was told they have the best burgers so I was pretty excited to try this place. Well, I was disappointed. The burger was WELL done, pretty much black. Our server was nice but it took awhile to get out burgers.
I would try it one more time before saying I will never go back but definitely won't go out of my way to go here again.

Great pub food, great karaoke, great people watching, great place. I have spent many an evening with friends both local and those from abroad in this place, and it never disappoints. Staff is generally pretty on top of things, keeping your drinks refilled with the quickness, and checking to be sure your group is satisfied.

Bathrooms look a little scary, but they're clean, I promise. They have a great outdoor patio area for the smokers too, or warm summer evenings.

If you head into town for the Tulip Festival, stop here and try the Bleu cheese burger. YUM!

the 2nd best bacon cheese burgers in skagit valley -famous for their oysters which i hate on general principles- good fish n chips, great tartar sauce, fun dive bar/eatery - outdoor seating, popular with the buell and harley set, funny gals serving suds and booze, lotsa loca flavor- love this place, we usually stop for lunch when heading down to a seattle mariners or sounders game

Sometimes, you just find yourself on I-5 North. And sometimes, you just feel like you've got to take that random exit that seems to go to the middle of nowhere. And sometimes, as you're driving through this random place, a big pub and eatery materializes right before you.

The service was fast, the staff was friendly enough, the food was good. The only downsides were that they don't stock Beck's anymore and, perhaps even more annoying, every single TV in the place just plays NASCAR. Totally tiny-town atmosphere though.

I LOVE THIS PLACE !  I love it so much that I had my rehearsal dinner here prior to my wedding.  

If you avoid the biker season or sundays in general you don't have to deal with the stupid behavior described below.  

This place is loved by locals - especially 20 somethings on Friday and Saturday nights.  They have wonderful karaoke.  Their staff is top notch and very hard working.  I dont' know where the eating peanuts and dropping shells on the floor remark came from - I can't recall any peanuts in the millions of times I have been here.

This is the original Biker Bar!  You have to come here during Oyster Run and watch the panties and bra's fly from the flag pole!   You may even get lucky or unlucky enough to see some gal flash you, if you yell "I want to see some Tits"!  Been there, seen that!  Ugh!   The food and beer are pretty good and you can eat peanuts and throw the shells on the floor.  It can get pretty crowded, but who cares, bring the beer on!  I love going for nachos and Spicy Bloody Mary's for lunch!
