What a week! Two pillars of the Pub Community, Jacob and Mariah tied the knot and graced The Pub with one of the most lively nights in Pub history (at least in my 33 years on this planet). Logan was kind enough to work alongside Todd and act as photographer for the evening, here are the results!

ALSO, if anybody is curious about checking our or getrting their hands no one of his books of Pubster Portraits, theyre are currently available through his website. Check it out!

After tying the knot in amongst the trees in Tilden Park, a very special night at the Rigger's Loft turned into a jam-packed party at the Pub.

Throwback to that time the James Zeller Trio (performing as a duo) swung through and played a set. What great musicianship!

What a great day! It's the perfect time to pick up our latest addition, the Bohemian Pilsner. It's brewed out of Richmond by East Brother, they make fantastic stuff. We are still open 12-4 pm every day, support your local industry!

It has been more than 260 days since the shutdown began; its hard to believe!
Thanks to all who have traveled with us through these difficult times; we couldn't do it without you.
We have committed ourselves to seeing this through to the other side and hope you all will continue to help us through. Come to see us for all your holiday beverage and smoking needs!
We are still open every day from noon-4pm and would love to see you. Phoebe has become grumpy without her friends. If anyone has any questions or suggestions please drop a line!

Hello everyone, I hope everyone is staying healthy and sane! Since we cannot serve our community the way we normally do, we have decided to branch out a little!

Starting tomorrow Knife Sharpening will be available at The Pub! Feel free to swing by our front window (between the hours of 12 and 4 pm) to drop off your knives. I will try to complete them same day, but next-day service may be necessary depending on the time and workload.

no serrated knives (yet), as I do not have the tools to do a satisfactory job for those types.
