Small dive bar serving around 20 local-ish beers from Washington and the Pacific coast. The beer was good and there was live music playing on a Monday night (live music six nights a week). Great vibe, good people, definitely recommend.

**********12.15.24************ This place is currently closed as it goes through new ownership. More to come when it reopens. ******************* This place...I love coming here for incredible music, listening, dancing and meeting so many kind folks...some locals, a few visitors. It's a cozy place with food specials as well as regular musicians that often change up the structure and give folks an incredible evening. I see there's lots of local as well as artisinal brews...as I dont drink, I cannot comment on that aspect. I do hear folks rave about the food and drinks. Two and four legged beings are all welcome...m~

Good food, good beer, and great service. Moon rolls and dumplings are really good. Simply a great spot for a fun evening.

Popped in after a night out an hour before close—excellent bar service, delicious drinks and karaoke! The bartenders were also kind enough to loan us a charger so we could use our phone to sign up for said karaoke

Me and my girlfriend Katy went out to Big Al's blues jam on St. Patty's day at the New Moon and it was an awesome show. Alvin Owen is a member of the Washington Blues Society and hosts the best jams in the state of Washington! The New Moon has an amazing collection of craft beers and is highly recommended for any brew enthusiast. This night the turnout for Magic Man Al's jam was loaded with talent. The crowd was enthusiastic and Katy and I danced our booties off to the grooving tunes! It was an outstandingly good time!!!

Great little bar in downtown Port Angeles. Friendly service, limited menu, but very good. Good selection of beers and other drinks. Lots of local music.

I always liked this spot, it had the best beer and the best vibes. Re-opened under new ownership in November '25 the good vibes and good brews continue. Dave and Katie are the best! They are making a chill place with something for everyone; live music, karaoke, spoken word, so much entertainment in a cozy space. Dig it!

No dogs allowed. Beer is solid, karaoke is great. Owner is wicked nice. We didn’t know dogs weren’t allowed. Ordered beer, dog was noticed. He was super nice about letting us know. Will definitely come back again, without the doggo next time.

The best night of our trip so far. We went on a Wednesday night and even though there were only 2 - 3 people, the bartender, and the karaoke guy.. we had a BLAST. The owner/bartender is super friendly, and the karaoke guy encouraged us to sing to an empty room, and boy.. did we. We just sang to no one all night and it was a night full of laughter, fun, and memories. Would definitely hit this place up again next time we are in town.

Locally owned and operated brewpub within walking distance of downtown Port Angeles. Fun cozy atmosphere capped by live local music and karaoke 7 nights a week. As a brewpub, the beer is the star. The owner/operator, Dave, brews many of the beers and ciders himself, and is extremely knowledgeable on the subject, and will take the time to find just the right brew for you. Definitely worth a visit (or ten 😉)!
