2 Best Bars in Washington Wine Country, Washington

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.

The Tap

This upbeat and airy downtown bar showcases a huge range of regional beers as well as hard ciders and seltzers, but with a twist: patrons pour their own drinks from a long wall of taps and are charged by the ounce. It's a perfect setup if you want to customize your own flight of Yakima Valley beers. The street tacos and chorizo quesadillas are quite tasty.
