It’s a place where people can come to enjoy a cold one while taking in the entertainment at the 102nd annual West End Fair.
Located in the Everett commercial building over by Gate 1, “the pub” will be open each day of the event from 2-10 p.m.
The fair runs from Aug. 18-24 in Gilbert.
The pub has been in operation for several years, said Beth DeHaven, a member of the West End Fair Board.
“It’s basically cordoned off to make it accessible to people who when they get to it, they show their license, and that signifies to us that they’re 21 and they can come into the pub area, they get a wristband,” DeHaven said. “There are about six vendors in there who sell craft beer, wines and spirits.”
DeHaven noted there is entertainment each day in the pub.
• Doug Katz, 5-9 p.m. Sunday.
• Steel Creek Duo, 5-9 p.m. Monday.
• Erin McClelland Duo, 5-9 p.m. Tuesday.
• Wayne Johnston, 5-9 p.m. Wednesday.
• Mere Mortals, 5-9 p.m. Thursday.
• Alley Brown, 5:30-9:30 p.m. Friday.
• Patrick Conklin, 5:30-9:30 p.m. Saturday.
DeHaven said there’s tables and chairs for people to come in with any food, listen to the music and catch a break from the weather.
“It’s a very fun environment in that area of the fair,” she said. “There’s cornhole boards in the back, propane fire pits to give it a slightly ‘pubby’ feel to it, but still a very good American country fair atmosphere.”
