House of Lager Gears Up for Grand Opening
Excitement is brewing as House of Lager, a unique new venue blending the delights of a brewery and restaurant, prepares to officially open its doors on May 7th. Recently, a preview event unveiled not only the tantalizing menu items but also a captivating events space destined to host everything from weddings to casual gatherings.
Originating from the innovative spirit behind House of Funk Brewing, House of Lager aims to carve out a niche at Squamish’s Oceanfront. For those with a penchant for lagers, the venue promises a memorable experience with a focus on craftsmanship in every pour.
An Exploration of Lager
Co-founded by brewing enthusiasts Stuart Ballard and Darren Hollett, House of Lager invites patrons into a space where lager is both king and artisan creation. But don’t be fooled by the name; it’s as much a culinary destination as it is a brewing hotspot. Patrons can anticipate a menu designed to bridge the gap between comforting favorites and gourmet indulgences, ensuring there’s something for every palate.
Taking a minimalist approach, the beer offerings will feature two distinct taps, showcasing a house lager and a rotating seasonal option. As craft lagers gain popularity, guests will get to appreciate this trending style served from the eye-catching copper tanks providing an authentic lagering experience. For those less inclined toward lagers, expect a variety of beverages, highlighting collaborations with local breweries like Backcountry Brewing and A-FRAME Brewing.
Culinary and Communal Charm
The ambiance of House of Lager draws inspiration from classic European beer halls, featuring a communal long table as its heart. This encourages guests to connect over a shared passion for great food and drink. Additional seating options, including a spacious patio, offer breathtaking views of Shannon Falls and Howe Sound, promising a picturesque backdrop to any visit.
Beyond its beer and food, House of Lager boasts a relaxed café at the oceanfront, perfect for grabbing specialty coffee and snacks to go. This feature complements the chill vibes of House of Funk, seamlessly weaving together food and beverage offerings in one vibrant location.
Events and More
Ascending to the upper floor reveals a versatile event space ready for various functions. Whether it’s a festive gathering, business meeting, or even yoga sessions followed by a refreshing brew, House of Lager accommodates it all. Ballard envisions a dynamic setting ripe for live bands or music-themed evenings, augmenting the venue’s appeal as a go-to spot in the region.
Already, the event space has captured the hearts of the community, securing bookings for key events, including weddings. As Ballard humorously shares, his personal milestone will also be celebrated in the very space he helped create.
The Anticipation Builds
After overcoming construction delays, anticipation is palpable as House of Lager readies for its grand debut. Sporting an enviable location and a thoughtfully curated experience, the venture aspires to embed itself into the fabric of Squamish’s vibrant restaurant and brewery scene.
With the community’s warm embrace, and support from local enthusiasts eager to celebrate and support hometown ventures, House of Lager’s opening is set to become a cherished hallmark of local culture.
