A margarita flight on The Spot Winchester’s patio. The patio opened during the warm weather last week.

As temperatures rise, we are looking forward to dining outside!

Some of our patios will open temporarily on warm days, and all our patios should be ready for you to enjoy regularly within the next month.

Chancho’snot-so-authentic SoCal Cocina y Cantina will be opening at 119 S. Main Street in Middleton this spring!

Chancho’s menu will be focused on fresh ingredients, colorful plates, and bold flavors. Incorporating chilies and spices,the menu will have some Mexican influence while conveying a fresh perspective that is reminiscent of Southern California.

Guests will feel as though they have been transported to SoCal when they step into the door. The space will be festive, colorful and inviting, with a family-friendly atmosphere and lively bar scene.

Breakwater Roasterswill be opening a second location in the new Cape…

We will revisit a favorite routine, Country Bluesy Swing music. This routine features music from three groups, The Bumper Jacksons, The Quebe Sisters and Hot Club of Cowtown. You won’t want to miss this fun and crazy music. Git yer spurs on and join us down at the rodeo for some fun, EEEEEEE HAH!

For Restorative Yoga, find some cushions, large books, yoga blocks, blankets, whatever you can use instead of bolsters and blocks. We make it work.

Free COVID Pop Up Testing Event This Wednesday in the ELKS Parking Lot

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

The Gloucester ELKS and TableBoost are pleased to jointly announce a morning of free COVID Testing in the ELKS Parking Lot at 101 Atlantic Road in Gloucester on Wednesday, March 24th from 9:00am until 1:00pm, or until testing kits run out.  

When you get to the ELKS Lodge, you will be given a test kit for you and anyone else with you.  Each kit has a nasal swab, a vial to put the sample in, and a form to fill out including insurance information.  The tests are to be self-administered while staying in your car, and will be collected by volunteers as you exit the parking lot.  Results will be available within 48 to 72 hours via email or text.

“TableBoost is very pleased to be working with the ELKS to provide these valuable COVID tests to the community at no charge.  Although most of us are starting to feel very hopeful that this pandemic is nearing its end, the number of new cases is still high and people are still getting infected so we need to keep testing to keep our community safe.”  said TableBoost CEO Tim Collins.

Adds Gloucester ELKS Exalted Ruler Brenda Leahy, “We think that as businesses open back up, COVID testing will remain important for our community.  So watch for more free pop up testing dates over the next few months.”

There is no out of pocket fee, but the Lodge is recommending a $10 per person donation.  And to save time, you can download the test form to complete it before arriving.
