Events

Join us for a night where the amps are loud, the plates are full, and the purpose is real.

Heights Aid is bringing together four incredible bands for a community benefit supporting Columbia Heights residents impacted by Metro Surge. This is our way of showing up for our neighbors—with music, food, and a whole lot of heart.

🗓 Saturday, April 4 ⏰ 4:00 PM – 9:00 PM 💛 Suggested $10 donation at entry

🎸 Live Music From: Dean, Mick, & Carla Plumstar Purgatory Creek TW & The Dustbowl Daisies

🥔 Loaded Baked Potatoes for a Cause Come hungry—because for every loaded baked potato sold, Rail Werks Brewing Depot donate $5 to support those affected. Yes, it’s delicious. Yes, it helps your community.

🛍 Local Crafters & Handcrafted Goods

Browse and shop from local makers offering unique, handmade items—another great way to support small and local.

Every potato ordered, every purchase made, and every dollar raised goes directly toward helping neighbors navigate the impacts of Metro Surge.

Grab your friends, stay for the music, and be part of something bigger than a typical night out.

We hope to see you there.

Every Sunday

Get ready to stretch, breathe, and flow your way into a calmer state of mind. Join us for a rejuvenating yoga session designed for all levels, whether you’re a seasoned yogi, a first-timer, or just here for the post-flow pint. This class is all about unwinding, moving your body, and enjoying good company in a laid-back setting.

Bring your mat, invite your friends, and treat yourself to an hour of movement and mindfulness. Beverages will be enjoyed after the session, because balance matters.

Details: • $10 per person at the door (cash or Venmo) • Discounts available for nurses and teachers • Kids are welcome if well-behaved • All levels encouraged, no experience required

Come flow with us, then raise a glass. Relax, recharge, repeat. ✨

Monthly on every second Thursday

Escape the chaos of the week and embrace a space for self-expression and healing. Whether you're journaling your thoughts, painting your emotions, listening to soul-soothing music, or finding your voice through poetry, this is your night to reconnect with yourself. All are welcome—no experience needed, just an open mind and heart.

The Saint Paul–based band The Get-Up Mondays brings a blend of Petty-esque melodies, sing-along lyrics, and a touch of banjo twang. Their feel-good sound is the perfect mix of heartland rock and front-porch charm—music made for tapping your feet and lifting your spirits.

Every Tuesday

Join us each week for Boombox Bingo, a high-energy music bingo night hosted by Geeks Who Drink. Instead of numbers, you’ll listen to hit songs spanning multiple genres and eras. If you recognize the song and it’s on your card—mark it!

It’s free to play, easy to jump into, and perfect for groups, date nights, or anyone who loves good tunes and a lively atmosphere.

Every Wednesday

Small Batch Trivia is our brand-new weekly trivia night, hosted by Geeks Who Drink.  Each week features a fresh lineup of questions spanning pop culture, history, music, science, and all the wonderfully weird knowledge rattling around in your head.

This isn’t your dusty old trivia night. It’s fast-paced, team-based, and designed for everyone—whether you’re a trivia veteran or just here for the beer and a few lucky guesses.

Grab a table, form your team, and see if your collective brainpower can rise to the top.
