Oddly, I feel like you need to specify this in the PNW...

Beer bar, whiskey bar, coffee bar, chocolate bar. There's a lot of ten guys out there who'd get confused.

Beer bars (sometimes called taverns or pubs) are legally restricted to selling only beer, and possibly wine or cider. Liquor bars, also simply called bars, also sell hard liquor.

Oregon has weird liquor laws. Taprooms that only sell beer and can't serve spirits are actually pretty common, and they'll have fancy beers brewed in a room behind the counter. (Most of them like to highlight the existence of the brewery by making it visible to the rest of the room.) People don't usually call em "beer bars" but that's exactly what they are.

a pub.

There are wine bars and cocktail bars. A "beer bar" is the default, so it's a bit weird to hear, but it also sensible to be specific.

We call them tap houses here, and we have a lot of them.

Volunteer firefighting/search teams are basically this irl

It took me reading this comment to appreciate how out of the ordinary this must sound to someone not from here.

Just a weekend adventure over here.

Imagine waking up as Sidorych, eternally trapped in a small underground shack, communicating with mute persons via textboxes and exchanging legs of mutated pigs for ammo.

On the other hand, if it means I am not obliged to work a daily job and pay taxes, why not?

Living in the more rural areas of my state near the National Forest is not too far off

But have fun being 2+ hours from the nearest city if it rains and 4+ if it snows

Edit for added context:

The area is typically beautiful

But if you need to leave the food desert you inevitably will find yourself in, it's a nightmare.

First you start with a bucket or container on your target's head. If done correctly he won't spot you and you can grab everything. Watch out for when the bucket falls off.
