Brick Saloon

Fodor's Choice
Built in 1889 and rebuilt in 1898, this iconic corner saloon features hearty pub grub, a great selection of beer from the Pacific Northwest, a giant wood-burning stove, basement jail cells, and a 23-foot-long running-water spittoon, now used for annual miniboat races. There's live music on weekends, and the kitchen serves decent pub fare.

Mule and Elk Brewing

This tiny taproom with metal chairs and timber and corrugated-metal accents brews balanced, complex craft beers, some with a nod toward England (the seasonal Back Country Bitter, for example), and others that will please fans of hoppy West Coast sippers—we're looking at you, Warrior Mindset Double IPA. There's also a selection of pizzas, shrimp skewers, and other light bites.
