The night life of Wakkanai is hardly the most happening in the world. For a regular bar visit some of the large hotels; the ANA and Wakkanai Grand hotels have some decent ones. Many of the restaurants listed above also serve alcohol, commonly Izakaya style, so that can be an option if you're in a group. There are also a number of Izakayas (居酒屋) located along the central street (Nakadori, 仲通り) and in the south along Oranjidori (オレンジ通り) — none of them really stand out, so just pick one and hope for the best.
Beifutei (米風亭), Chuo １-4-25 Arisu Bld. 1F (中央１丁目4-25 アリスビル1Ｆ) (From Wakkanai station, take a right onto the stone paved road (Nakadori) until you come to a bright blue building), ☎ 0162-23-2346, . from 6:00. A small but very foreigner-friendly izakaya. The owners don't speak very much English but are very friendly. There is an outdated but helpful English menu. �
