Flatstick Pub & Putt Putt Golf: Washington Beers, Dogs, & Kids
Especially perfect for rainy days, Flatstick Pub offers an indoor 9-hole, par-3 mini golf course with obstacles and special features at each hole. Both kids AND dogs are allowed in this fine establishment, but at 7pm, the pub turns into a 21+ venue. Another fun feature at Flatstick is the fact that they only serve local Washington beers and ciders, and they have a huge selection of brews to choose from.
