becks TAVERN

Sits on Peaceful Valley Road in North Creek, a short walk from Gore Mountain Lodge and a few minutes' drive from the Gore base lodge itself. The kitchen splits the menu between German-inspired plates and American bar standards, which is an unusual combination this far from a city and works better than it sounds after a ski day. The room has three modes. The main dining room is a sit-down meal. The bar is louder and runs later. The outdoor Yurts, semi-enclosed and heated, are the seat to ask for on a cold clear night. Full bar with beer, wine, and spirits. Walk-ins are fine. Best for ski-week dinners when Gore's base lodge is overrun, and for North Creek locals on a Tuesday night.
