Great food and drinks but we especially love it for Wednesday night pub quiz. It's always a fun time, and fills up fast so we recommend calling ahead for a reservation or going early to grab a bite beforehand and secure a table! Starts at 8:30.

Mt. Doug is perfect for easy trails, or a slightly steeper hike up to the summit. Alternatively, you can drive up and park near the summit. Highly recommend heading up just before sunset on a clear day and enjoying the view.
