This venue is so beautiful and the two new owners are very kind, responsive, and accommodating! I highly recommend this spot. They currently serve nice wines, beer, and a nice selection of non alcoholic beverages.

Beautiful space, friendly staff, good drinks, and classy live music. The patio overlooks the ship canal. We loved watching the passing boats and sipping local brews.

We got married here and what could I possibly say other than this place is perfect! The location and venue are beautiful but the real kicker is the amazing staff and Chief. Host your party here and get the food you won't be disappointed.

Really cool spot! There’s live music on Fridays and the views of the canal are super nice. Even saw a bald eagle! They serve beer and wine and allow outside food. Pretty cool, laid back spot for a good brew.
