Toby’s Tavern – Coupeville Whidbey Island, Washington

http://www.tobysuds.com/

Toby's located in the town of Coupeville on Whidbey Island Washington. The building is located on the shore of Penn Cove. Originally a mercantile built in approximately 1890, the structure has housed many businesses. Following prohibition, it became a beer parlor and has been a Tavern/restaurant since the early sixties.

The back bar was originally brought around the horn and placed in the Fort Warden officers club in about 1900. It then moved to Fort Casey and then eventually to the Central Hotel in Coupeville. When the Hotel suffered a serious fire, the back bar was then moved to its current location at Toby's.
