#2325 - National Tavern, Bremerton, WA - 10/19/2013

The National Tavern, AKA National Public House, National Roadhouse Pub, was built in the 30s as a family home, became the National Cafe shortly after that, then during the war years became a tavern, as Navy personnel were not looking for soup and sandwiches as they enjoyed the illegal card room in back. While it is a casual space with a spacious back yard, current owners Doug and Beverlee Hansen have it too cleaned up to be easily described as a dive. I don't know if they still feature live bands on the roof, but there's a strong selection of beers with dive bar cocktail options.
