Parking and the front door.
- Where do I park?
- Our own lot off Turbine Hall Road, about 40 spaces, free. Bike racks by the door. On First Pour Friday and Live in the Hall nights it fills by 7.
- Is it step-free?
- Yes. The front door is level with the parking lot, the hall is one floor, and there is an accessible washroom by the bar. Two accessible stalls are next to the door. The patio is packed gravel with a firm path along the building.
Plan the ride before the first round.
The driver drinks free
The driver at your table drinks free all night from the no-alcohol list: root beer, hop water, cold brew, coffee and pop. Tell whoever takes your order.
We call the cab
Ask at the bar and we will call one for you. On a busy night, ask early.
The bus
The Castlegar to Nelson bus stops out at the highway. It is a six-minute walk from the door.

Highway 3A in winter
The road follows the river, and after dark in winter it can change fast. Check DriveBC before you leave, and if the road looks bad, the bus or a cab is the better plan.
Once you’re through the green door.
See where to sit and what to eat, or find a night when something is on.
