Pig On, Local Salmon Too

By Lev | Published: May 13, 2011
The pig roast is definitely on, rain or shine, this Sunday. The forecast says it may rain, but we’re gonna make a sacrifice to the sun god, so we should be good. If, for some reason, the sacrifice falls on deaf ears, we’ll do it all inside. I almost forgot, thanks to the East Bay [...]

Spring

Monday Night Movies, Monthly Pig Roasts

By Lev | Published: April 29, 2010
Starting May 10th, we are going to show movies every Monday night. Our upstairs neighbor Austin Hill will be curating the first few. The emphasis will be on local filmmakers and documentaries, but we’ll probably sneak “Porky’s” and “Animal House” in there once in a while. There will also be drink specials and a bar [...]

tables are here, but pig roast possibly postponed

By Lev | Published: April 6, 2010
The tables are here and they look and feel great. They really make you want to eat a big steak off of them. The bad news is that rain is forecast for Sunday, so we probably won’t do a pig roast that evening. We will be open, though.
