Pentagon Bistro & Martini Bar

After a round of golf in Liberty Lake, it's a perfect spot to land for a cold beer or a martini. I highly recommend the Cioppino.

Pentagon is an easygoing American bistro built around steaks, seafood, and a genuinely fun martini list — the drink menu leans into playful political riffs, and the bar crowd is part of the charm. Regulars come back for the appetizers, from the crispy sweet potato fries to the baked brie, but the Cioppino is the standout: a robust tomato-and-basil broth loaded with fish and served with bread to soak it up.

It's a small, popular room, so it can fill up and the kitchen can slow down when the bar is busy — worth knowing if you're on a timeline. But the staff keeps things friendly even in the weeds, and for a relaxed dinner or a drink after nine holes, it hits the spot.
