2 Best Bars in North Central Washington, Washington

Badger Mountain Brewing

A large window lets guests sneak a peek at the brewing operation while they sample these well-crafted ales and lagers. The rich Crema Stout, with its chocolate and coffee tones, is a standout—it's also used in a Stout float on the dessert menu. The kitchen turns out decent pizza, burgers, wings, sandwiches, and the like.

Icicle Brewing Company

One of the foremost craft brewers in the state boasts a large and cheery outdoor terrace and an attractive indoor taproom where you can view the company's massive brewing vats. Order a flight for a chance to sample the eclectic offerings, and be sure to include the signature Bootjack IPA in the mix. Warm pretzels and bowls of chili are great food choices.
