Community First, Always

Trailside was built with a vision: to create a space for the community-a place to gather with friends and family, unplug, and truly connect. Whether you’re here for one of our special events , or just enjoying a pint in the beer garden, Trailside is your home away from home.

Trailside community

Trailside is more than a place to eat and drink—it’s a hub for connection. Our community clubs offer fun, friendship, and a reason to keep coming back.

Good food. Local flavor. Always welcoming.

At Trailside Table, we serve up more than just meals — we bring people together. Our kitchen focuses on fresh, locally sourced ingredients to create dishes that are simple and satisfying.


It’s the kind of food that pairs perfectly with a cold beer and good company. Whether you’re fresh off the trail or meeting friends for a laid-back evening.
