One for the Waters, and one for the Woods! We're getting ready for our River Mixer with Wild Rivers Conservancy and Laura Lamb, presented by Saphire Realty tomorrow! We hope you can make it out!

If you can't, you can still support the work of Wild Rivers Conservatory by trying either of our drink specials this weekend! The Cedarheart Sour brings blueberry, botanicals and cedar together for an unforgettably herbal refresher. The Black Walnut Boulevard pairs house-made black walnut liqueur with bonded bourbon and elevates the pairing with splashes of Campari, Cacao, and Cherry Bark bitters.

We love our local watershed, and if you spend any time in the St
Croix Valley we bet it's at least in part because you do, too. So raise a toast to all the tireless work it takes to keep our corner of the world beautiful and bountiful.

You're invited to our first outdoor show at The Barred Owl featuring local artist Laura Lamb. Bonus points, it's for a great cause!

All next weekend, we will be donating a portion of our proceeds on select food and drink specials in support of Wild Rivers Conservancy and the incredible work they do to protect our watershed. The weekend will culminate with a backyard bash on Saturday, presented by Saphire Realty.

Join us from 6pm-8pm on Saturday, August 29th for great music, delicious drinks and bites, and to learn more about Wild Rivers Conservancy and this beautiful watershed we call home.

No sleep till Burnett...

An espresso martini is a vodka red bull wearing a tuxedo. Ours is special because we make it with our favorite and the freshest roasts around from our pals down Jewelltown Roastery —a super concentrated cold press we extract in house that we take care to honor their hard work roasting, as well as the contributions of the farmers and the land they source their beans from. Long time regulars may have clocked that sometimes the character of our espresso martini shifts, which is always because some fun new roast that Jewelltown came up with catches our eye, and we want to see how it plays with vodka and Mr. Black and fine evenings on the shores of Balsam Lake. Variety is the spice of life, and coffee is one spice we can't imagine going without. 🥂
