When you bring your four-legged friend, save $2 on one of our menu items, from beer to coffee, or breakfast to cinnamon rolls! PLUS, chili cheese dog special all day!
We are especially excited for the “Bark ‘n’ Bolt 1K!” This 1K Doggie race is open to everyone, FREE, and the top three Dogs (and their humans) get a prize! The event is FREE, but let us know how many to expect by signing up. Meet by the big chair at 10:45 AM - we run with the dogs at 11 AM!
