Its hot outside. No worries; the freezie machine is on full blast so you can stay cool. And the grapes are leafy and casting nice shade on the patio!

Statistically, 100% of Mondays happen at the exact start of the workweek. It’s a terrible system, and we’re protesting the only way we know how: All-Day Happy Hour.

​From open to close, the drinks are cheap and the judgment is zero. If anyone asks, you’re just doing some intensive "networking" and "market research." 🤫🍸

​See you at the bar. You've earned it (and it’s only 5 PM).

🌿 Fresh. Local. Never Boring. ✨

​Why settle for the ordinary when extraordinary is right here in Yelm? We believe your plate should be as vibrant as our community, packed with fresh flavors and crafted with care. No boring bites allowed. 🙅‍♀️🍽️

​We’re shaking up the menu with some incredible fresh specials you won't want to miss:

​🍅 Classic Tomato Bruschetta over Fried Gnocchi

​We took a classic and gave it a crispy, savory twist. Think juicy, seasoned tomatoes and rich pesto draped over perfectly fried, pillow-soft gnocchi. It’s fresh, texturally amazing, and completely addictive.

​🦀 N.W. Red Curry

​A true Pacific Northwest comfort bowl. We’re simmering a mountain of fresh mussels, clams, and tender crab meat in a rich, aromatic red curry broth that has just the right amount of kick. Pair it with one of our signature craft cocktails, and you’ve got the perfect dinner.

​📍 Find us in the heart of Yelm.

✨ Grab a table, skip the boring, and taste what fresh really means.

Real Food. Real Flavor. No AI Eagles. 🦅❌
​If you’ve been letting the internet guide your weekend plans, consider this your sign to completely forget about the AI eagle and the harness store. We’re right here in the real world, and our kitchen has some incredible specials lined up for you this weekend.
​Here is what Holli and the back-of-house crew are cooking up:
​🥣 Classic Cioppino – A deeply flavorful, robust seafood stew that’s perfect for dipping a piece of crusty bread into.
🐟 Pale Ale Batter Halibut Fish & Chips – Premium halibut coated in a crisp, light house-made pale ale batter, fried to golden perfection.
​Pair either one with a fresh pour from the bar, pull up a seat, and let us handle dinner.
​Specials run Friday through Saturday while supplies last. Come get a table!
