Bethel Saloon
Popular biker bar in Port Orchard that is serving cocktails, beers, and wine 365 days a year, located in the Bethel District of Port Orchard, is full of history. The tavern was added in 1933 after Prohibition and sometime during the 1940s, it was converted to a bar and has remained so ever since.
The first thing you will notice as you walk in is that the parking lot is full of motorcycles from regulars and the unique skeleton riding a motorcycle on the roof.
Once inside the building definitely has a great old feel, with uneven wood floors and an old wood-burning stove.
Two pool tables, dartboards, live music, and plenty of motorcycle memorabilia help make this unique venue a classic old-school American bar.
