What in the world else are ya gonna do on this drizzly Thursday evening?

New specials onboard for another Trivia Night by Celeste at Hawks Nest Lodge & Restaurant!

From the kitchen:

Chicken Alfredo - Pappardelle noodles draped in a rich alfredo with sautéed peppers, onions mushrooms and and topped with your choice of fried or grilled chicken. Served with buttery garlic bread and an optional house salad.

And from behind the bar:

Drama Queen - equal parts Bacardi, Aperol, St-Germain and fresh lime juice. With dash of bitters, chilled and served up. This refreshing bev will chase the clouds away, for sure.

These among several other great specials and standards, and of course desserts by Beth’s Bakery are ready for you and your crew tonight!

See ya soon!

Another B E A - utiful Thursday and another TRIVIA invite!

We’ve loved watching trivia become a weekly staple for many of you and hope to continue this tradition right into the fall!

We try to always have something fresh for you to get the weekend going, and tonight we have a new homemade soup by Mr. Rob in the kitchen.

It’s a rich and creamy Corn Chowdah - fresh mirepoix made with a bacon roux, the perfect blend of spices and fresh, local corn and topped with hot and fresh bacon crumble.

Come on in, get yourself a crock, and see if Celeste can stump you with this week’s brain teasers.

Trivia starts at 6!
