Introducing our newest seasonal...Rogue Brewery's Santa's Private Reserve in a 12 ounce bottle. Rogue’s annual holiday offering is a variation of the classic Saint Rogue Red, but with double the hops--including Chinook, and Centennial, and a mystery hop called Rudolph by head brewer John "more hops" Maier! For you hop-heads, this holiday elixir is brewed with two-row Harrington, Klages and Munich malts, along with Hugh Baird 30-37, Carastan 13-17, and Crystal 70-80 malts, plus free range coastal water and John’s proprietary top-fermenting Pacman yeast.

We have a very small supply and it will go fast, so come on by and grab a burger, pulled pork sandwich or our lobster bisque with a bottle of Santa's Private Reserve!

Hallo-weekend

This weekend we'll be partying...

This Friday is Freaky Friday at the Rat - we'll have prizes for great costumes, drink and food specials, and music by DJ Joe. We'll be dressed up, too - come join us!

The Wahkiakum County Democrats are taking over the tavern on Saturday - they welcome anyone who wants to hang out with them and talk politics or whatever else you feel like.

...eating good food...

We're featuring a smoked salmon salad with shallots and cucumbers from the Two Islands Farm Market, Gala apple slices, crumbled bacon and locally caught and smoked salmon. We also have a lobster bisque with french bread that is really yummy and is perfect for warming you up as the days get colder.

...and enjoying great beer!

Right now, we have a limited supply of Widmer's Oktoberfest, and Red Hook ESB. Soon, our rotating taps will feature Widmer Snowplow and Rogue Shakespeare Stout. Try out these awesome beers before they're gone!

See you soon! --The Rat Crew

Live Music This Friday!

We are happy to have the Floating Glass Balls play at the Rat this Friday at 8 p.m.! This band plays an upbeat mix of folk, traditional and bluegrass music that they've made their own - it's been labeled "beachgrass."

"We're into the second set. Spud, the intense fellow with the bandana and mandolin, has been taken suddenly barefoot and Gary's fiddle is having its way with him again. Joel and his six-string are kicking up serious dust, Dan's watching a melody sliding around on his dobro, and Bill's hugging his bass, eyes closed, nodding his head and smiling that smile. People are whooping and hollering and stomping their feet. You'd have to have been there. Next time, maybe you should be."

— Michael Burgess
