2 Best Nightlife in The Olympic Peninsula and Washington Coast, Washington

It's a short walk from the dune trails and beach to this terrific, welcoming, craft-beer bar with a comfy interior, but the greatest draw is the 9,000-square-foot beer garden that is dog-friendly, has plenty of picnic tables, and even has a large enclosed seating area that comes in handy during the winter months or on rainy summer days. There are nearly 20 well-chosen drafts on tap, and light pub fare is served.

Sit on polished logs that serve as bar stools in this tiny and rustic taproom, located in a corner of a small, nondescript business plaza that boasts, "Cold Beer and Warm Nuts to Go." You'll sample seasonal craft beers, quench your thirst, and get to know locals. Closed Monday to Wednesday.
