Best Breweries in Vancouver, WA for Beer Lovers and Cocktail Fans—My Personal Picks

So, my wife has been on a cocktail kick lately, and as much as I love a good drink, I’m a beer guy through and through. That means whenever we go out, I have one mission—finding places that serve both killer craft beer and solid cocktails so we can both leave happy.

To make my life easier (and keep my wife happy), I turned to Reddit and asked the Vancouver community for recommendations. Turns out, there are plenty of breweries around here stepping up their cocktail game. So, if you’re also looking for that perfect balance, here’s where to go.

Cocktails & Beer in Vancouver, WA

Trap Door Brewing (Washougal)

📍 1834 Main St, Washougal, WA 98671

Trap Door was one of the top recommendations on Reddit, and after checking it out, I get why. Their West Coast IPAs are some of my favorites, and now they’ve added cocktails to the mix. My wife tried one of their craft cocktails and gave it the nod of approval, which means we’ll be coming back.

Loowit Brewing Company

📍 507 Columbia St, Vancouver, WA 98660

Loowit has been around for a while, making some of the best beers in town. But now, they’re adding a cocktail bar inside their taproom—which means it’s about to become one of the best spots for couples like us. The bartender was super excited about the new cocktail lineup, so we’re definitely coming back once that’s up and running.

Thirsty Sasquatch

📍 2110 Main St, Vancouver, WA 98660

Now, Thirsty Sasquatch isn’t technically a brewery, but it deserves a mention because it has an insane cocktail selection and a great beer lineup. They even have pizza and pinball, which makes it one of those places where you can just hang out for hours. If you’re someone who likes variety (or has a partner who does), this is the place to go.

Grains of Wrath (Camas)

📍 230 NE 5th Ave, Camas, WA 98607

GOW has been my go-to for a long time—their IPAs are unreal. But what I didn’t expect was how solid their cocktails are too. A Redditor said "they have the best liquor lineup and cocktails in the area", and honestly, they might be right. If you love a place with good beer, good cocktails, and no BS, this is it.

Mahoney’s Public House

📍 105 W 6th St, Vancouver, WA 98660

Mahoney’s keeps things simple but good. Their cocktails come from kegs, which I was skeptical about at first, but they’re actually pretty solid. The best part? No waiting forever for a drink. If you’re looking for a chill spot with decent cocktails and great beer, this one is worth checking out.

Taps Beer Reserve (Ridgefield)

📍 201 S 47th Ave, Ridgefield, WA 98642

Another place that does keg cocktails, but don’t let that stop you. The beer selection here is next level, and my wife liked their cocktail lineup too. It’s a great place if you’re in the Ridgefield area and want options for both beer and cocktails without any fuss.

Wahi Hana

📍 213 W 11th St, Vancouver, WA 98660

Okay, this one is not a brewery at all, but if you love cocktails (or someone you love does), it’s worth mentioning. Wahi Hana is a tiki bar with some of the best cocktails in town. My wife has been loving their drinks, and they have some island-style beers for people like me who refuse to switch to liquor.

Turns out, Vancouver has plenty of spots where you don’t have to choose between great beer and great cocktails. Thanks to Reddit, I now have a solid list of places to go where we both get what we want.

So, if you’re in the same boat—where one of you loves a well-crafted beer and the other is on a cocktail kick—give these places a shot. And if I missed any, let me know, because I’m always down to check out new spots.
