If experience has taught us one thing, it’s that sun and adventure make
you thirsty. But where to “rehydrate”? We asked our writers, athletes,
friends, spouses, and readers—all of whom were quite eager to help us
research our first-ever roundup of the best places for people like us to
relax and refuel.
The Best Bars in the Western U.S.
1. Brouwer’s Cafe
Seattle
In
the funky Fremont area, this active-lifer hangout is swimming in
Belgian suds—and is situated just off Lake Union, along the multi-use
Burke-Gilman Trail. The sailors and kayakers out on the deck know from
good, and with 63 brews on tap, 400 in bottles, and a 70-strong Scotch
selection, food pairings make for a different kind of adventure.
