Shelburne Pub - Seaview, wa

Step inside the Shelburne Pub and it feels like stepping back in time—but with way better cocktails. Nestled in the oldest continually operating hotel in Washington, this historic pub blends old-world charm with a modern culinary point of view. The menu leans into the region’s rich bounty, serving up innovative dishes alongside local wines and craft ales in an atmosphere that’s both enchanting and unpretentious.

I had the chance to photograph the Shelburne Pub in all its moody, wood-paneled glory—capturing the details that make it special: flickering candlelight, thoughtful plating, and the kind of ambiance you can’t fake. The goal? To create images that feel just as timeless as the space itself.

A Coastal Menu with Depth

The Shelburne doesn’t just rely on its good looks. The menu is rooted in local flavors—from fresh seafood and seasonal vegetables to thoughtfully curated small plates and classic mains with a twist.

And yes, the cocktails are next level. Balanced, unexpected, and strong enough to make you linger.

Come for the History, Stay for the Vibes

The dining room glows with candlelight, the walls are lined with dark wood and vintage art, and the overall atmosphere is pure old-world magic. But it’s not pretentious—it’s cozy, casual, and full of locals who know they’ve got something special in their backyard.

I had the chance to photograph the Shelburne Pub on one of those golden PNW afternoons when the light slants just right. The images we created reflect the same feeling the space gives you—timeless, intimate, and full of soul.

Whether you’re on a weekend escape or live just up the road, Shelburne Pub is a must-visit for food lovers and cocktail seekers alike.
