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
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
Spoke Anne? Did I get it right?
Basically
More like Spo-Can
I've heard people say it as wrong as Spo-Cane before which was pretty rough
The easiest way to spot someone from out of the area is when it rains, ask them about the weather. We've got a lot of words for rain up here in Washington, so what they pick will say a lot.
Clatskanie is a good one too.
"Brew pub" is the correct term, at least in my experience as a Portlander.
