When we arrived at @route2taproom, We were greeted by friendly staff that made our family (dogs included) feel welcome. They informed us that we would need to sit on the patio, and they had the heater on before we even sat down. We spent our visit on the front patio area and have no complaints. It is by far the least interesting part of Route 2, but we were content and had amazing service. We hope to come back and spend some time in the taproom. It is modern, rustic-themed, and quite large.They have more than a few TVs on the walls with the taplists and games on them. They also had an additional patio space through their restaurant towards the back. This space was much larger and offered bier hall and lounge style seating, complete with umbrellas for shade, and cornhole set up to play We paired a Beach Cat Pilsner with a Chicken cheesesteak and a Boundary Bay Hazy IPA with their “Grilled Cheese on Crack ''. All were delicious. It was the perfect reward after a long hike. . . . . . ---------------------------------------

I love that they have live music on the weekends, seasonally. And the trivia nights are fun. They always have events happening which is great. The food is delicious (great fish and chips), so many great beer options, and the staff is friendly too. It ticks all the boxes for a local spot you want to go to regularly.

Came here the first time on Father's Day and then came back the second night. We sat ourselves and waited on promptly. Waitress was friendly and got our drink order quickly as well. I asked to try a few beers, which she brought and settled on an amber beer, which was great. And then I had an Irish nitro stout, and that was great. First night, I had a burger, and onion rings both were fabulous. I wanted a chicken Ceaser the next day, and my wife said hers was great and should go back. They have a Ceaser and you can add your protine. My son got the turkey club, and he said it was everything he wanted. A good amount of meat and bacon and fresh lettuce and tomatoes. There is plenty of outdoor seating and limited seats inside. When I'm in town, I'll come back! We've been back to Monroe several times, and this is a go-to place for us. Still friendly, happy to let you tast the beers. My soon usually gets the chicken tenders and I like trying different things and the Cuban did not disappoint!

Good Food, great place to take a break. Indoor or Outdoor seating. Ordering can differ depending where you choose to sit. Recently had the turkey club and it did not disappoint!

Lovely pub with friendly servers. This is the kind of pub where you become a regular once you experience it. Great rotating beers. I get to experience different beers I would have never imagined here. Great food options.

Amiee remembered my beer profile the second time I ever came in and it felt like cheers ....the whole staff is amazing! Ashley and Jenn are friendly faces we always look for when we walk in the door.Stephanie the manager is awesome too! Aways a new beer menu so plenty of chances to find a new favorite beer and you can take a growler home if you do! Last but DEFINITELY not least, the fried mozzarella sticks are made in house and UNMATCHED in quality! That cheese pull is real!

What a lovely find after sitting in terrible traffic heading back to Bothell! We did a long hike up Bridal Veil Falls and were starving and didn’t want to wait to go all the way home. Great burgers and the pulled pork tater tots were absolutely delicious! Great pub-style food and wonderful friendly service!

Great service! Wonderful food. It was our first time here tried a bit of everything. Best chef salad I've had in a long time, the croutons were AMAZING! we had the tap room tots, root beer float, prime rib dip with garlic fries, and the French onion soup. Everything was so delish
