TOMORROW we party.

Meet our DJ’s for bye bye gemini.

❤️ Borb DJ plays tracks for the g**s, the girls, and the weird little guys.

💜 Born and raised in Yellowknife, CAMBOLYUS is a DJ who seamlessly blends house, electronic-funk, hip-hop and hyperpop to keep everyone dancing as long as possible.

🎟️ Are $10-20 sliding scale at the door. Ticket covers the DJ’s, access to a grazing table and a portion of sales will also go to the Indian Brotherhood. We will also have a special Pride Paloma and a full bar for you to purchase as you wish.

We can’t wait to see you at the Wildcat 9- midnight. MEOW!

[we are so grateful CAMBOLYUS is able to fill in for jonny vu. and big MAHSI to vamp. for the speaker hookup].

WEDDING SEASON is upon us. And we think nothings better than a wild cat wedding. Like just look at this sweetness captured by yellowknife’s own from a cozy little reception we hosted last summer.

Our space offers three intimate settings to throw a cozy little gathering, with delicious local inspired eats created by chef Niki, custom cocktails, local DJ’s, and the charm of old town as your back drop.

If you’re interested in having your special event (wedding or otherwise) in a 1937 log cabin, bookended by two amazing patios, a tree canopy, and back bay to look out at, send your inquiry on over via email to [email protected] and we will get to chatting about the deets. We’d love to work with you!
