Thoughtful tap list, library nook, and small plates
"Usually a rainy day is kind of a downer, but we actually like drinking at The Noble Fir when it’s gross out. It probably has something to do with the cozy wooden booths and the string lights and the little library area full of vintage books. Pile in with your friends and order some pints. And not that we’re telling you what to do, but you should probably listen to what we say and get a custom meat and cheese plate, too." - aimee rizzo
"Your camping trip got cancelled - turns out that trying to pitch a tent in the pouring rain is wildly counterproductive. Once you’ve dried off, head to The Noble Fir, a bar that feels a lot like a cabin hideaway in the mountains. A cabin hideaway with string lights, beer, wine, delicious charcuterie and cheese plates, and a library area full of old books, that is. Not to mention a bathroom, which is more than we can say for that campsite your friends picked out." - aimee rizzo
"A low-key spot to kill a couple of hours with a cider, beer, or glass of wine. We like it even better inside if it’s raining out - it adds to the overall allure and coziness of this place. The Noble Fir also works well if you’re trying to hang out with your friends but your parents want to join you. Camp out in a big wooden booth and laugh at the water falling from the sky (until it’s time to go back outside and deal with it)." - aimee rizzo
"Opened by a pair of nature-loving beer geeks, Ballard’s The Noble Fir is the perfect staging ground for one’s next adventure. Visitors can explore the thoughtful tap list (from PNW breweries such as Aslan, Black Raven, Urban Family, and others), while thumbing through a huge selection of local trail maps and guidebooks." - Megan Hill
