Drumlin is the younger sister of Ridgecrest Public House next door. We worked with the same architect and others to make a second space for all ages and with a kitchen and a full bar.

Like with Ridgecrest Pub, we stripped the space down to a bare box. Contractors added new plumbing, new lighting and new heating, all energy-efficient. For several years, we looked for surplus materials and used furniture and let them dictate the style. The bar that seats six is made from end grain fir flooring we got on Craiglist ten years ago for a home remodel that went another way. The barstools are from another bar. The solid fir slab sliding doors to the party room are a barn find from south King County. And the long fir table came from a farmhouse a half a mile north of us.

The 800 sf back patio is compartmentalized into covered and heated spaces we built during the pandemic, but can be used for bigger groups and parties.

We opened six months after the pandemic started, and for the first few years, our best role for the community during the pandemic was providing socially spaced restaurant ambiance, service, and beverages in support of the food trucks, along with a safe place to take time before and after dinner to connect over drinks and a small dinner, snack, and dessert menu.

But we always wanted to be a more ambitious farm to table restaurant with a “cheeky cocktail menu”, as someone requested in an online review. So after being closed for a few months, we have combined forces with Zephyr Paquette, the former owner of Le Petit Paquet in Richmond Beach.

We now have a full bar focused on classic cocktails and using mostly small batch distilleries and bitters.

We also have an expanded menu of bar snacks and shareables, mostly made from scratch.

The dinner menu focuses on local farms and producers, including the ones you see at local farmers’ markets. Our food is made from scratch, changing seasonally and with weekly specials.

We happily take reservations via email and over the phone, especially for larger parties. But except for Fridays during the dinner rush, there is plenty of room for walk-ins. We would love to see you join us for cocktails, dinner or dessert!
