Plato said, “He was a wise man who invented beer.” While Plato never visited Grays Harbor, we agree that there is nothing quite like gathering for beer with friends after work or while watching a game. Here in Hoquiam, where the salt water of the Pacific meets the runoff from the region’s mountains and glaciers, we have a great selection of places to grab a beer and visit with our friends and neighbors. Like the town itself, you’ll find a wide array of pubs, bars, taverns and places to drink, each giving you a chance to get to know Hoquiam a little better. Whether you wish to visit a brewery or hang out at a local pub, our town along the Harbor is the perfect place to wet your whistle. If you are looking, here is where to get a beer in Hoquiam.
