We sent some Beyond Eden chickens and some Berkshire pork shoulder from Ozarks Natural Foods to A.M. SHEVEY’S SMOKEHOUSE so that we can serve pulled pork sandwiches and 1/2 smoked chicken entrees with G-Pub fixings all weekend, including Sunday.  Perfect food for this Fathers’ Day weekend!  We also have some fresh as can be trout from Mountain Springs Trout Farm.  We will have Sunday Brunch with our usual breakfast items as well as these smoked meat specials.  It’s a good idea to make a reservation for Sunday.  Serving 11-3.  See all the specials we have this weekend :

We are pleased to welcome Kelsey Trammell to create her art in the pub this First Friday Artwalk, June 7.  Kelsey is a senior at MSU where she is majoring in Special Education.  Her artwork is her hobby and her way of expressing the love she has for her close family and the out-of-doors.  Come see her charcoal drawings of wildlife and the American West and chat with her while she creates a drawing or two in the pub.

We will be closed May 26 and May 27 so that our staff can all have a short vacation break and be with our families and friends. We will have an updated menu to present next week and specials coming up for June.  We will keep you posted here and on Facebook. Cheers!

Mom knows best.  Show her you listened and say thanks with our Mother’s Day Brunch.  Fresh food, from local farms, prepared with passionate attention to ingredients and taste. Thanks Mom!

This is a good weekend to be in Downtown Springfield in spite of the weather! We have the food and drink specials to add to the festivities.

May 3 is First Friday Artwalk.  Bill Baunauch will be in the pub creating his signature chalk art drawings.  There will be some finished ones too on display and for sale.  Start your artwalk with us and meet Bill Baunauch.  Our special for the night will be Gumbo Ya Ya and New Orleans Style Dirty Rice.  Chef Aaron’s using our local chicken, sausages, Missouri grown non-GMA rice and some other unusual ingredients (ask Chef Aaron) to create this Authentic Cajun Classic!  Full of flavor!  We think you will love it!

May 4 and 5 is Artsfest on Walnut Street and Cinco de Mayo.  Two for the price of one so to speak!  Springfield can be very proud to have the 33^rd annual Artsfest which is the largest fine arts festival in Southwest Missouri.   Check it out: http://www.springfieldartsfest.org/about/

We will serve carnitas (pork tacos) with corn tortillas, beans, house-made salsa  and relish served with more Dirty Rice. Check out the refried garbanzo beans too. ¡ Muy authentico!  Our house guacamole will be in full supply too! Pair these real Mexican flavors with thirst-quenching bar specials like Margaritas, Mojitas and Palomas.  Chef Aaron’s taco truck experience in Southern Cal will be put to good use!  Check out our Facebook page for more details.

Happy Earth Day!  We will donate $1.00 for every entrée we sell today to Food CORE – a local not-for-profit group that works hard every day to support local food systems in southwest Missouri.  You can donate to them on their website : http://food-core.org/

Spring is really here and getting more here every day so we can introduce our Spring Menu starting today, April 8. We’re planning on using lots of hydroponic tomatoes from Quickley Produce and Ozark Mountain Farm, spinach from our friends at Fassnight Creek Farm and we cannot wait to serve asparagus from Thayer Farms!  That’s just to name a few of the wonderful local farmers who will have spinach, leeks, spring onions, chives, asparagus and other fresh produce for us. Picked the morning we get it!  We hope you will get out to the Farmers Markets this month and when you aren’t cooking at home, you will be eating with us!

Cheers!

We are a great place to start or end your First Friday Art Walk with a burger and a pint, cocktails and nibbles on the patio or a gourmet bistro dinner special with a glass of wine from a sustainably managed vineyard.  Spring weather (we hope) is finally here!  Cheers!
