The Penny Farthing is the name of our Bar and Restaurant at Chuckanut Bay Distillery, featuring our own craft spirits and cocktails, along with delicious shareable plates. Our bar’s name pays tribute to that oversized and oddly shaped bicycle (known as a “penny farthing”) of the late 19th century. We selected Penny Farthing as our name due to the recurring motif both bicycles and history have played in our distillery’s origins – an apt metaphor, if you will.

At the end of the day, to ride a penny farthing was to be truly in touch with every nuance of your journey. Nicknamed the “bone shaker,”  the rider was directly connected to the road, feeling every bump and dip along the way. We can relate to this as our distillery process is analogous. We don’t use secondary devices to make decisions about our distilled spirits. It’s only through direct interaction with each process that they come into being. Touch, smell, and finally taste dictate our craft, helping us to achieve the finished product we enjoy serving you here in our bar. We think it’s wonderful that this old building is once again filled with life and jollity, and for that, we’re so glad you’re here.
