Twisp River Pub burned down again early this morning. Hwy 20 is closed through town so use east county road as a detour.

| Quote: | | Reiterating an earlier report of a structure fire at Twisp River Pub for those who are more recently awake and checking Facebook.
Per the scanner, Twisp River Pub is currently at least half engulfed in fire. All of Okanogan Fire District 6 has been called in and they have now asked for District 15 units out of Pateros and Brewster. I'm not sure when the fire was first reported, but we have been following the incident via scanner since 3 a.m.
Highway 20 is closed. The WSDOT website states there is a detour, but does not give details. If you are traveling south from the upper Methow Valley, the Twisp-Winthrop Eastside road is a good way to avoid the incident all together.
Twisp River Suites has been evacuated. Paul Budrow, Twisp Police Chief is on scene as well as numerous firefighters from District 6.
See our earlier posting for some reader-submitted photos from the incident. |

Bring back the Antlers!
What's especially fun about sock puppets is that you can make each one unique and individual, so that they each have special characters. And they don't have to be human––animals and aliens are great possibilities

Whoa, that's awful. One of my favorite post-hike grub stops.

An updated article from the Methow Valley News:
Methow Valley News Fire Update
It looks like the brewery, kitchen, and dining area might have escaped direct fire damage but extensive smoke damage occurred throughout building.
Pub owner initially hoping to be open for summer season.

though I thought they were going to close anyway? Or maybe I'm thinking of a different place in Twisp.

This is a tragedy of monumental scale! 
Great place to eat and relax, though, after hiking.

It's been for sale for sometime along with the Old Schoolhouse Brewery in Winthrop.

Major disaster! That was my second most favorite place to eat in the area. The first is the Old School House Brewery in Winthrop. But the sandwiches at "The Bakery" on the river at Pateros are a close third.

Wasn't there a previous brewery in Twisp that burned?

They don't make years like they used to.

That was Methow Valley Brewing which was the original business name/owner for the Twisp River Pub. When the original brewery burned the owner purchased the old service station on the Twisp River and rebuilt it as The Twisp River Pub. I believe the brewery part of the pub might still use the MVB name.
I ran down to Twisp today and from the river and front sides of the pub it's hard to see any fire damage. From what I heard in town the dining room, kitchen, and brewery escaped serious damage. There's extensive smoke damage throughout and the dining room floor has been water damaged.
The fire destroyed the office and storage area but they should be relatively easy to rebuild.
Highway 20 Pizza up the road at Winthrop is also a good pre/post hike option.
I also heard that the old Antlers restaurant should be opening within the next few months after extensive remodeling. Not sure about the type of food but it might be an upscale version of the old Antlers.

Most of the towns out there depend on the needs of upscale summer tourists. When we were volunteering with the Forest Service on the PCT our cook got called out of camp to fight a forest fire. The FS realized that we were from Seattle and they hired the head chef from Sun Mountain Lodge as a replacement cook for us. We ate upscale meals at Harts Pass for a week.
