🎉 The Birthday Cheesecake is Back for Year 7! 🎂

We are celebrating 7 amazing years of our Taproom + Kitchen on June 13th, and we are bringing back the ultimate fan favorite to mark the occasion. The Birthday Cake Cheesecake has officially returned!

This slice is everything a birthday dessert should be. We start with a fluffy vanilla birthday cake cheesecake set on a classic graham crust. Then we top it all off with a generous dollop of whipped cream and a golden Oreo. It is fun, festive, and absolutely delicious.

This feature is only here for a limited time as we celebrate our anniversary. Come pull up a stool, grab a slice, and raise a fork with us to seven incredible years! 💛

TGIF and Happy Weekend Campbell River!

Today is the perfect day to pull up a stool, because our bar got a little bigger! As you may have already seen, we’ve permanently extended our bar seating with a beautiful, hand-crafted wood slab bar top.

This isn’t just any piece of timber, it’s a slice of family history from Cortes Island, harvested right from the property of our co-owner, Claire.

Her dad, Ron, shared the incredible 76-year journey of this tree:

Sharing the same age and standing just 10 feet from the family home, Ron climbed and topped this tree 40 years ago (and even used it as a TV antenna mast). The tree continued to grow and in order to protect the roof from its massive branches, it was safely felled into the ocean in March 2025.

Ron tells us that sealing the end grain slows the drying to minimize twisting. It might still move a wee bit as it settles into its new home, but that just adds to the character!

After being milled, air-dried, and seasoned inside the house, we hauled it home in the back of a truck to be transformed into the bar top you see today.

Ron on bars and what he’s drinking to celebrate the new addition: “Gladstone IPA, Driftwood’s Raised by Wolves, or Fat Tug... honestly, I just like beer!” 🍻

Come down, grab a seat at the new extension, and toast one to Ron and the Cortes Island bar!

✨ The Ultimate Sweet and Salty Gluten Free Treat! 🍫

We are keeping the Celiac Awareness Month celebration going strong with our newest dessert feature, and this one is an absolute showstopper.

Say hello to your new favorite sweet and salty treat. We started with a rich, fluffy peanut butter cheesecake and set it on a buttery gluten free graham cracker crust. To take it over the top, we layered on a smooth chocolate ganache and finished it with a heavy sprinkle of crunchy Skor bits.

As always, while our kitchen handles flour, our team takes careful steps to minimize cross contamination so you can dig right in and enjoy your dessert with total confidence and peace of mind.

Whether you are here for the chocolate, the peanut butter, or the crunch, you will definitely want to get your hands on this one. Save some room for dessert and come treat yourself to a slice! ✨

🌿 Chimichurri Meatballs are Back! ☀️

We are officially starting to roll out some fresh new items for our upcoming summer menu. To kick things off, we’re bringing back an absolute favorite. The Chimichurri Cast Iron Meatballs have officially returned!

If you missed these the last time around, you are in for a treat. We make them with Johnston’s Farms pork, packing them with roasted jalapeño, cilantro, and garlic for the perfect kick. They come served hot, generously topped with our bright, herbaceous chimichurri, and paired with fresh focaccia to soak up every last drop of flavor.

Gather the crew, pull up a stool, and come get a taste of summer early! 🍻

☀️ Join the Session Team! 🍻

As we gear up for a busy summer season, we are looking to expand our Front of House crew! We are currently hiring for Servers/Bartenders. Plus, if you have the right experience, we are also on the lookout for a year-round Floor Supervisor.

We are searching for people who want to bring their energy, passion, creativity, and a great attitude to the workplace. We are a small, close team that strongly believes in maintaining a real work/life balance.

What we offer:

👉🏼 Server/Bartender role starting at minimum wage + tips, and Supervisory rate depending on experience + tips

👉🏼 Discounted and free food

👉🏼 Unlimited All-Access Pass to our Studio + Spin for those meeting a minimum hours of availability!

Expected availability includes days, evenings, and weekends (25 - 30 hours a week to start, with more hours coming this summer)

Please note that a Serving It Right certification is mandatory for these roles. Previous Front of House experience is a great asset for serving and bartending, and required for the supervisor position.

💚 Dining Out With Confidence: Celiac Awareness Month 🍕

May is Celiac Awareness Month. If you are living with Celiac Disease, you already know how frustrating it can be to find a meal that is actually exciting. Nobody wants to be stuck with a plain salad or a burger missing its bun.

One of our owners lives with celiac, so we understand the struggle firsthand. While our kitchen does handle flour, preparing thoughtful and safe dishes for our gluten free guests is a massive priority for us. Our team is fully trained to take extra care with celiac orders.

Our everyday kitchen protocols include:

• Changing gloves before prepping your meal

• Using freshly sanitized utensils and separate equipment

• Pulling ingredients directly from fresh, unopened backup containers

We also built our menu to make ordering as easy as possible. We use gluten free tamari instead of regular soy sauce and thicken our béchamel with corn flour. You can swap the flour tortillas on our Session Tacos for crisp corn tostadas, and we confidently serve what we consider the best gluten free pizza crust in town. We also have plenty of dishes that are naturally gluten free right out of the gate.

Our bar has you covered too, featuring three fantastic gluten free beers from .

We might not be an entirely gluten free facility, but we care deeply about the steps we take to keep you safe. We know that when you are dining out with an autoimmune condition or allergy, every single detail matters.

Come pull up a stool and enjoy a great meal with peace of mind!
