Phoenix & Folly

Peacock closes, but the owner has something new coming in Richland

10/13/2026

🔥 WELL, THAT ESCALATED QUICKLY.

We told you something was coming. We just didn't tell you how big.

Introducing PHOENIX & FOLLY.

A brand-new restaurant, cocktail bar, and café coming to the space most recently occupied by our friends at Salud Bar & Kitchen, adjacent to the Riverfront Hotel in Richland.

Let's clear something up right away: The Peacock isn't relocating, reopening, or changing its name. That chapter has closed. Phoenix & Folly is an entirely new restaurant, with a new concept and a new space, but some familiar faces behind it.

And while you'll recognize plenty of the things you loved about The Peacock, we're not interested in simply recreating what we had.

We're taking everything we've learned, everything we've wanted to do, and everything we couldn't do before, and finally getting the chance to bring it all together.

A fully equipped kitchen means we can take our food program to another level. More ambitious dishes, more creativity, and the ability to execute the kind of menu we've wanted to build for years.

Our cocktail program gets room to grow, too. More experimentation, more attention to detail, and a few ideas that probably should have stayed on the drawing board. 🥃

And the coffee? Well, we wouldn't have it any other way. You'll get to enjoy the same incredible house-roasted espresso we've been known for since 2022. ☕

Behind Phoenix & Folly are Justin & India Bazinet, and Thomas Kalmbach - three people with a shared love of hospitality, a lot of ideas, and a questionable understanding of what constitutes a reasonable workload.

Some familiar favorites. A whole lot of new possibilities. And a completely new experience.

This isn't The Peacock 2.0.
This is Phoenix & Folly.

Follow along. We're just getting started. 🔥

Phoenix & Folly is a locally owned restaurant, cocktail bar, and café on the Columbia River in Richland, WA. From morning espresso to dinner and craft cocktails, we're bringing good food, great drinks, and a little questionable judgment to the riverfront.

🦚 The Peacock has officially left the building.

Two years ago, we took a former beauty salon and somehow turned it into a bar, restaurant, coffee shop, and a place so many of you came to call your own.

Was it perfect? Hell no. We built a kitchen where there wasn't even a ventilation hood or fire suppression, made things work that probably shouldn't have worked, and poured everything we had into making that little space something special.

We fought for it. We adapted. We improvised. And when things got hard, we fought some more.

But there's only so much you can do with four walls that were never really built for what you're trying to create.

What made The Peacock special was never the building. It was the people. The friendships, the laughter, the music, the late nights, the regulars who became family, and the staff who showed up and made the magic happen.

To every single person who supported us over these last two years: THANK YOU. You gave that little beauty salon a hell of a second life.

We're sad to close this chapter. But we're also incredibly proud of what we built, and even more grateful for everyone who was part of it.

And while The Peacock's story ends here, ours certainly doesn't.

We've learned a lot over these two years. About hospitality, about what works, about what doesn't, and about what we'd do if we ever had the chance to build something without those same limitations.

Funny thing about endings. Sometimes they have a way of making room for something much, much bigger. 🔥

Don't go too far... We've got some news coming very, very soon.

With love, gratitude, and a few questionable decisions,
The Peacock Team 🦚
