Something strange is going on at Oak & Shield. A pile of Ouija boards appeared in the basement, our gaming consoles keep showing cat videos, oh, and then there’s the little girl who can move things with her mind. It all started when those trucks showed up at the unmarked national laboratory in the Pick ‘N Save parking lot. It’s time to investigate, with an “untz untz” Halloween DJ dance party!
Gather your adventuring party, pack your Eggos and slingshots, and join us in the…

Now, What Else…
No Dance Party?
No DJ this year. We talked about it at length and had a good back-and-forth. We have a blast with dance parties, but the planning and setup for them requires us to tap into resources and skillsets that we aren’t particularly practiced in, largely because we only do it a few times a year. So for this year’s New Years, we’ve decided to focus on what we do have lots of experience with, and what we do best, which is great pub food and magical drinks shared over a stack of games.
Is the Party 21+?
Mostly, yes. We’re a 21+ establishment after 10PM, so youngsters are welcome to hang out until 10PM, but not until Midnight.
Planning to be out of bed before Noon on New Years Day? You’re like a unicorn!
Reward your heroic feat of adulting and start 2020 with an Eggs Benedict Cumberbatch or a Millennial Falcon avocado toast—or order a Bottomless Mimosa and head right back to bed.
Our full Weekend Brunch Menu will be available from 10AM until 2PM on January 1. View the Brunch Menu.
Our full regular menu will also be available.
