The Howling Moon Craft Tavern — Restaurant in Port Angeles

Wouldn’t even serve me “because I have a black and white photo on my driver’s license” ?? The bartender and the bar manager both said they couldn’t serve me or my friend since we have b&w ID photos (Colorado IDs). Extremely weird excuse. We immediately produced alternate, color IDs and he said he still couldn’t serve us. We offered credit cards with our names on them and he quipped back “well you’re not banking with us so I don’t see how that helps.” It was 10:40 and they close at midnight.

I wasn't expecting such a large selection of craft liquor and beer, and it was a pleasant off ramp from the typical hum drum "Big Box" brands. The drinks definitely come with interesting company and conversation, whether the subject be eating a vegetarian taco for the first time or the etiquette around farting at a campfire, your guaranteed a...
