Discover Downtown Wenatchee’s Best Place to Get a Moscow Mule Drink & a Burger

Not thinking I'd find anything nearby open for dinner, I noticed a restaurant across from my hotel in downtown Wenatchee. It was the place that ended up serving me one of the best Moscow Mules I've had in a long time: Bob's Classic Restaurant & Distillery (110 2nd St, Wenatchee).

The burger was amazing, too, and I found several other hidden treasures in downtown Wenatchee to tell you about if you've never been there!

When in Rome Wenatchee

The Wenatchee I used to know about 20 years ago when I used to make frequent trips from Yakima was a quiet and sleepy little town in the heart of Chelan County. Fast-forward to today, the quaint, rural, and tiny place is now, dare I say it, hustling and bustling with activity--even on a Monday.

I arrived in town for a work project a few hours ago and got bored sitting in my comfy downtown hotel room, so I went for a walk. I stopped in Natural Foods (222 N Wenatchee Ave) and bought a hibiscus ginger ale before the store closed for the night.

Bob's Classic a restaurant and distillery. My server told me that all the burgers were half off, so I picked something called the Cantina Crunch--it had enough black olives, jalapeños, tortilla strips, red onions, and sliced tomatoes to make a salad. It was  S C R U M P T I O U S.

After dinner, I walked a little further into the downtown pedestrian zone of Wenatchee. I heard the sounds of rushing water and discovered a huge water fountain. I didn't have any pennies, so I couldn't make a wish.

On my way back to the hotel, I saw this lovely spot of public art hiding in a corner beside the Numerica Performing Arts Center (123 N Wenatchee Ave).
