New menu, same patio…come join us.

New menu, same excuse to stay for one more round at The Gnome Craft Pub.

Giant pretzel boards, stacked pastrami, short rib comfort, fresh salads, and a couple cocktails you’ll accidentally order twice. Chef Matt wasn’t messing around putting this one together, you won’t want to miss this one!

Patio’s ready. Come see what’s new.

04/20/2026

Gnome Craft Pub will be closed today, April 20, as our team prepares for the launch of our new menu.

We’re using this time to train and get everything dialed in so we can deliver the best possible experience for you.

We’ll be back open tomorrow, Tuesday, April 21, and can’t wait for you to check out what’s new. See you then.

A Midwest tradition, done the Gnome way.

Golden beer-battered fish, crisp fries, house slaw, and all the classic fixings-perfectly paired with one of our craft beers on tap.

Join us every Friday for a fish fry worth slowing down for.

$15 for the Fish Fry
$20 for all you can eat!

Good food. Great beer. The kind of Friday that feels like home.

THE EVENING
• 4:00–4:45 PM – Cocktail Reception
• 4:00–6:00 PM – Book Release + Storytelling

If you’ve ever been moved by food.
If stories matter to you.
If this industry has shaped who you are—
