Old Mill Tavern is one of Spokane's best-kept nightlife secrets. This is one of those bars where you feel completely free to be yourself, and there are no trappings of pretentiousness or false airs...just a great, relaxing atmosphere highlighted by some amazing views of the Spokane River. Sip on your favorite glass of wine or choose from their awe-inspiring selection of ales and beers. The Old Mill Tavern is a no-frills but still sophisticated place where the finer things are always appreciated.
Spokane's Spokesman-Review Building is an unmistakeable part of the city's skyline. The building, once the tallest structure in town, is also the home of the Spokesman-Review, Spokane's newspaper. There is much history in this classically designed building, and you can book a tour to see not only the building itself but you will also get an interesting glimpse into the inner-workings of a daily newspaper from its offices to its presses.
You'll laugh, you'll dance, and you'll have a hard time forgetting the frenzied, side-splitting performance of the improv theater troupe that hits the stage regularly at the Blue Door. This group originally began in Seattle but fortunately, for audiences in Spokane, they now make their home at the Blue Door. The venue is intimate, as it only seats 65 audience members, but before the evening is over, you'll be laughing along with 65 of your closest friends!
The Spokane River offers plenty of water sports and recreation activities, but one favorite is river rafting. The water's intensity varies with the time of year, as during the cooler months the conditions are more amenable for whitewater rafting and in the summer, when the river's volume is low, you can choose to float which is less intense but still quite enjoyable.
