The Bar & Grill is opening soon.
We're putting the finishing touches on the kitchen and the patio. Menus, hours, and reservations will land here when the doors open.
The
Grill & The Green.
Food worth finishing nine for.
The kitchen is small. The list is short on purpose. Most everything comes out of one twelve-foot flat-top and a charbroiler the size of a dishwasher. Prices include the seventy-two-degree breeze.

Twelve on tap. Two of them local.
The bar is small and the cooler is smaller. We change the list when the keg blows. Bottles, cans, and a short cocktail menu round it out. Nothing on it costs more than fourteen dollars.

By the glass.
Take the whole place.
The Grill seats forty inside, sixty more on the patio, and holds about a hundred and twenty standing with the furniture pushed. Most weeks it's available Sunday afternoons, Monday evenings, and every Tuesday. That's by design.
Rent the room.
Cake optional.
Birthdays. Rehearsal dinners. Retirement parties. Memorials with golf jokes in them. Sales kickoffs that needed an excuse to leave the office. We've hosted them all, and we do not charge a room fee. Just a food & bar minimum that we'll meet inside an hour.
Rehearsal dinners.
Friday evenings before lake weddings. Family-style, two entrees, four kids' meals if you have them.
Milestone birthdays.
40ths, 50ths, 60ths. We light the candles in the back room so it doesn't set off the smoke detectors.
Tournament after-parties.
The natural conclusion of an outing. Open bar, awards on the patio, leaderboard on the TV.
Wakes & celebrations.
Quiet rooms, simple food, plenty of stories. We do these without a contract. Just a phone call.
