Yakima

Yakima sits at the center of the Yakima Valley, which grows roughly three-quarters of the hops used in American beer, so it's no surprise BarFinder's data shows a real craft-beer and wine presence here alongside the sports bars that lead its 81 listed venues. Local names like Valley Brewing Co. and Gilbert Cellars reflect that hop-and-wine-country identity, while Jackson's Sports Bar and McGuires Irish Restaurant and Pub cover the more classic side. Few places in the country have as direct a connection to the beer industry's raw ingredients as Yakima.
