We’re mixing things up at The Lodge!

Join us every second Tuesday of the month from 6-8pm for Community Night, where local nonprofits take center stage behind the bar!

So swing by The Tavern, grab a drink, and raise a glass to our local causes.  $2 from each drink sold, all tips to the celebrity bartender, and 100% of proceeds from the nights signature cocktail go directly to support the cause of the night. PLUS, we match all proceeds raised from drinks- meaning double the fundraising!

Interested in hosting your own community night? Know a nonprofit that wants to get involved? Shoot us an email at info@lodgeatschroonlake.com – let’s keep the good times and good deeds flowing
