With this place, posing as a kind of German beer hall meets Wild West saloon, Tom Douglas has made his (inevitable) lunge into the world of pubs. Brave Horse sports two dozen draft beers (local amber ales are well represented) and the place even bakes its own pretzels in a special oven.

With the Amazon HQ around the corner, the crowds are predictably tech industry heavy, though there's plenty of intermingling at the shuffleboard tables.
