I reside in the Tetons but my work has me traveling to Western WA frequently. I stumbled upon this wonderful place a few winters ago when I stood around a raging fire outside in single digit temperatures with newly met friends. I've been coming ever since whenever in town and am even a Mug Club guy (happy to support the business). The management is great and Shawna is an excellent cook! Additionally this pub attracts great people. Everyone I've met in this place is awesome and some have become friends. The food is good, beer legitimate, and atmosphere is great. Outside seating and fire pit are just great. I'm fortunate to travel a lot and this is a favorite spot to visit. Staff are all superb. Strongly recommended this place. Usually there are cool dogs as well, especially a golden named "Lunchbox"!

Was looking for some new breweries near Roslyn and found this place! Super cute inside and outside. Fire tables and heaters made the crisp fall day enjoyable outside. Beers were good and jalapeño pretzel was awesome snack! Would love to check out their movie or trivia nights!

This place is so unexpectedly amazing. The tacos blew our expectations right out of the water, SO DELICIOUS!! The staff and the atmosphere were wonderful. They even have giant Jenga in the cute outdoor area. Kid + Dog friendly, this place is a must when you are in town.

Cute little brewery in Cle Elum. Ladies working were very sweet and knowledgeable about the beers. Not a whole lot of beers to choose from but there is something for everyone!

We absolutely love stopping in here while we are in CleElum or on our way to the East side. Great place to stop when there is traffic.

Hop off the highway for this cute brewery. Google maps had us going in circles, but it's right on the main road. They were out of most beers because of a Rodeo, but of what we sampled, it was good brews.

This is a rather hidden brewery in Cle Elum, but very close to some other grat establishments on the same street: Mike's Saloon, Owen's Meats, Caboose, and several others. The best part to me is their great service. They are always friendly and welcoming. They are also kid friendly which is a plus, at least for me.The food is decent, but limited based on their small kitchen area in the back. We ordered sandwiches which were very good; they tasted like they were made in a panini press with high-quality bread. My family especially liked their pickles, which were awesome - and I'm not usually a fan of pickles! They have a TV for watching sports but it wasn't intrusive, and a nice inside area for the colder months as well as a nice patio for the warmer months. I wasn't a huge fan of their beer options, but I believe it was just a particular hop that they were using in their IPA the last few times I visited. I will definitely return.

Well, as yous know, getting four or five stars from me is not an easy feat. However, when I do have an experience that leaves me happy I must express my joy - this was my recent experience at Mule & Elk! It started with the monthly movie night. It was on Friday, after sundown, so sabbath had started. I talked with Shawna, and asked if it was ok for us to come even though we would not be buying anything. She was so gracious, told us to come, and while we were here, made us feel welcome! I promised we would be back! Today, we decided to go for lunch! We were greeted by the sweetest girl, with a beautiful genuine smile! Kaylie took great care of us, even sharing her favourites on the menu! We didn't feel like strangers though this was only our second time being here and we had never met her. Lunch was grand! They are definitely growing and stretching their repertoire, which is lovely. They have brilliant pub grub, while maintaining an eclectic variety of options that make you want to try them all. Hubby had the classic cheese toasty and tomato soup! I had a caprese sandwich and a cup a soup. It was all quite tasty.One of the great things I like about this place is they want to make it family friendly, more like a true pub (like I'm used to in Ireland), less like a bar or tavern! They are trying some new and exciting things to bring options to the community! It's not too loud or overwhelming, it is nice and bright during the day and pleasant in the evening. I look forward to seeking what this wee brew pup has to offer in the future!

Nice surprise of a place. Way bigger than expected inside. Lots of beer and food options. Definitely going to bring the family here in the future for lunch or dinner. Great service and lots of different sitting and table options.

Love the beer here, wish they'd bring back Liberty Golden though. Go to for beer in Cle Elum. It's not as big and loud as the other brewery in town. Used to be they had an outside fire-pit going during the winter months, which made it great to hang out at and bring guests but the last few times it has not been going, which is a disappointment. Beer is good though and I recommend.

They have several tables inside and out. They brew a variety of beers. I try to get a growler to go when I happen to be driving by on I 90. This time I sampled a new coffee dark beer she recommended. That one is good but too dark for the rest of my family. Instead I got a growler of amber and a growler of blond.

Great outdoor space, good beers, shockingly good $6 pretzel, and dog friendly! Kind of perfect
