  • Distinctive Local Character

    Quirky duck paintings, local artwork, and cozy alpine character create a memorable, unique pub environment.

    What really sets this place apart is the duck paraphernalia—you've got duck paintings, duck cutouts out front—it’s like a celebration of all things duck

Practical tips for timing, ordering, and seating at Marysville's popular country pub

  • Arrive Early for Peak Dinner

    Due to limited town dining and heavy crowds at peak times, arrive right when doors open around 5:00 PM or plan around walk-in seating.

  • Note Your Table Number Before Ordering

    Seating operates on an open walk-in basis with counter service—grab an open table, note your large table number, and order at the bar.

  • Heated Rear Seating for Pets

    Guests dining with dogs can be accommodated comfortably in the rear outdoor area, which features overhead heating for chilly mountain weather.
