Bottles in Millwood: The Spokane Valley Spot We Never Stopped Going Back To

We went to Bottles once. I don't know quite how to say this, but we never really stopped going back.

Why We Kept Going Back

Bottles was the first place I suggested for drinks, and since then it has been the setting for countless date nights and more than one charcuterie board we decided counted as dinner. Our brand new puppy had a first outing there. I've met a girlfriend there to work. We threw my best friend's baby shower there, gathered school supplies for wildfire families together with our friends at Bottles, and hosted two Galentine's events for our favorite people. And we have bought more bottles of wine there than I would like to count.

We have no intention of quitting anytime soon, as long as they will have us.

A Millwood Staple

Millwood has a small-town feel of its own while sitting right in Spokane Valley, a short drive from downtown Spokane. Places like Bottles are a big part of that. It's the kind of spot where a quick glass turns into a whole evening, and where you can celebrate a big moment or just a Tuesday.

Why Places Like This Matter When You Move

The places you keep going back to are a big part of why a neighborhood feels like home. When I help families relocate to Spokane, Spokane Valley, Millwood, Liberty Lake or North Idaho, my short list of local favorites is often one of the first things they ask for. A house is the starting point, but the coffee shop, the wine bar and the park down the street are what make it your life.
