Also, side quests are a thing and sound fun.

"a beer bar"

Agent641 ,

As opposed to a whisky bar maybe?

obrenden ,

Beer bars (sometimes called taverns or pubs) are legally restricted to selling only beer, and possibly wine or cider. Liquor bars, also simply called bars, also sell hard liquor.

xantoxis ,

Oregon has weird liquor laws. Taprooms that only sell beer and can't serve spirits are actually pretty common, and they'll have fancy beers brewed in a room behind the counter. (Most of them like to highlight the existence of the brewery by making it visible to the rest of the room.) People don't usually call em "beer bars" but that's exactly what they are.

You can definitely tell it's a non-native by what they call those places

Also how they pronounce some of the smaller cities

Like Chelatche

Killing_Spark ,

Is it: Chee-latt-chai?

Haven't heard anyone say chelatchie out loud before, but I live in the pnw and I would guess it would be pronounced cheh-latch-ee, which is similar to how "Wenatchee", a pnw city, is pronounced (not helpful but interesting nonetheless).

Very close, sha-latch-ee

No worries though

It's a really small place and the closer one lives to it the more likely I've seen people be able to get it

Spokane is a fun one to hear people say though when they're from a few states away
