Shelves of often hard-to-find bottles from both smaller and widely known wineries line the walls of this cozy, dimly lit downtown wine bar and bottle shop with a friendly staff that's always happy to make suggestions, whatever your price point. Enjoy a glass of wine (there's cider and beer, too) alongside a cheese-charcuterie board or another light snack. There's a cute patio as well.
The spacious taproom and brewery set in a former 1920s auto showroom has plenty of indoor and outdoor seating where you can sample some of the best craft beers on the coast, including a number of limited-release collaborations with other top regional brewers. There's also tasty pub fare.
Stop by this friendly downtown taproom with big patio with food trucks to sample superb handcrafted ciders made from a variety of heirloom Northwest apples. These Belgian saison– and English ale–style hard ciders come with a range of complex flavor profiles, from dry and crisp to chai spiced to full-on fruit bombs infused with marionberry or cranberry.
Just about every seat in this hip bar situated on a pier that juts into the Columbia River offers stupendous water views. Catch the sunset with a well-crafted cocktail and perhaps a few nibbles—Thai shrimp tacos, pork potstickers—from the tapas menu. This place, known for infused spirits, buzzes until midnight or later.
