Overview

Bars & Nightlife The guide was updated: 2025-02-18

Leavenworth knows how to celebrate, and its nightlife reflects the town’s festive spirit. Throughout the year, you’ll find everything from Bavarian-themed events like Icefest and Maifest to local favorites like Wine Walks and the Wenatchee River Salmon Festival. But the crown jewel of the season is Oktoberfest, when the entire town comes alive with music, beer, and traditional German revelry.

Beyond Oktoberfest, Leavenworth’s nightlife has plenty to offer. Whether you're sipping craft brews at a local brewery, enjoying a glass of Washington wine at a tasting room, or kicking back in a lively beer garden with live music, there’s no shortage of ways to raise a glass and soak in the Bavarian charm.

Gustav's

Gustav's

Gustav’s has been a Leavenworth staple since 1981, and it’s easy to see why. With a laid-back vibe, a great selection of local Icicle Ales, and a menu full of burgers, sandwiches, and Bavarian-inspired eats, it’s the perfect spot to unwind. In the summer, grab a seat on the balcony and soak in the mountain views. When the weather turns chilly, cozy up next to the river rock fireplace with a pint.

The Loft Bar & Grill

The Loft Bar & Grill

The Loft Bar & Grill is a lively local hangout perfect for kicking back with a cold beer and some classic pub grub. With a solid lineup of draft beers, cocktails, and hearty comfort food, it's a great spot to unwind after a day exploring Leavenworth. Sports fans can catch the game on multiple TVs, while those looking for a little more action can join in on karaoke nights, live music, and trivia.

Icicle Brewing Co.

Icicle Brewing Co.

If you're in Leavenworth and want to taste some local craft beer, Icicle Brewing Company is a must-visit. Located right on Front Street, this cozy brewery serves up a rotating selection of expertly crafted ales and lagers, many inspired by the surrounding Cascade Mountains. The spacious taproom and outdoor patio make it a perfect spot to sip a cold beer while taking in the alpine views. Pair your brew with a warm pretzel or charcuterie board, and if you're lucky, catch some live music or a local event happening on-site.

Ducks and Drakes

Ducks and Drakes

Ducks and Drakes is the kind of place where you can kick back with a cold beer, play a round of pool, and feel like a local—even if you’re just passing through. It’s a little rough around the edges in the best way possible, with a no-frills, welcoming vibe. The food is solid, with hearty American pub fare, and the drinks are strong without breaking the bank.

Doghaus Brewery

Doghaus Brewery

Doghaus Brewery is a tiny nano brewery with a no-frills vibe, but the craft beers are anything but basic. With a rotating selection of small-batch brews that showcase creativity and flavor, you’re bound to find something new with every visit. The tasting room is cozy, but the outdoor patio really steals the show, especially on warm evenings when you can kick back, sip a cold one, and enjoy the mountain air under the stars.
