Every Friday from 6pm till 8pm enjoy Friday Night Live at Taps at the Guardhouse. Taps is a historic military jail now converted into an adorable bar serving delicious, seasonal pub food and craft cocktails on the Fort Worden campus.
On Fridays a different local artist or group from Jefferson County and beyond is featured and you can see who will be playing weekly by checking their Facebook for the monthly lineup. Past Friday Night Lives have included folk, country, jazz, blues, and more.

Sip on a craft beer, wine, or cider as you listen to live music in the one of the most eclectic and relaxing beer gardens. Live music is played on Saturdays at the Pourhouse as you take in the stunning views of the Puget Sound.
The beer garden (aka the Impound Lot) also has ping pong and bocce ball for you to play and breathe in the saltwater of our sleepy seaport. And if you get hungry, The Pourhouse has a bar snack menu and the option to bring in takeout food from neighboring, local restaurants.
