Your dedication and hard work made the event truly unforgettable. On behalf of the community, we extend our heartfelt appreciation for your selfless commitment to the arts.

Welcome to our newly remodeled beer garden, where we have created a luxurious and cozy outdoor oasis for beer enthusiasts like you. Our attention to detail and commitment to providing a premium experience is evident in every aspect of the design, from the high-end furniture to the inviting fireplaces.

As you enter the beer garden, you are greeted by a charming pathway adorned with vibrant plants and flowers, leading you to the main seating area. The furniture, carefully selected for both comfort and style, features plush cushions and elegant designs. To create a warm and inviting ambiance, we have incorporated several fireplaces throughout the beer garden. These fireplaces, strategically placed to maximize both warmth and aesthetics. They provide the perfect focal point for gathering with friends, engaging in conversations, and enjoying the company of fellow beer enthusiasts.

Customers seeking both quality and relaxation will enjoy this new outdoor space all year long. 

We would like to give a special thank you to Stephanie Castillo with Rumble Interiors for designing and making this vision a reality, the City of Ellensburg for working with us on the project, SC Design out of Yakima for helping us engineer the plans for the deck, JPS Construction, and anyone else who helped Club 301 build our beloved beer garden.
