Come join us for a toast to St. Patrick! Reserve a plate of smoked corned brisket, cabbage, and potatoes online here (catered by the Smoking Trolls).

St. Patrick’s Day is often associated with beer, but we should make the case for cider. Cider has been an integral part of Irish culture and history for centuries. The temperate climate and fertile soil of the Emerald Isle make it an ideal place for apple orchards, and the Irish have been making cider from these apples for generations.

In conjunction with Thunder Bay Cinema Society, come join us for our monthly Movies on Tap!!! Popcorn and candy available for sale! In honor of Women’s History Month, come enjoy the epic story of two best friends that set out on an adventure that soon turns into a terrifying escape from being hunted by the police, as these two girls escape for the crimes they committed. There was reference to this very movie during Molly’s performance at the first Lip Sync Battle.
