Step back in time at the Blue Wing Restaurant & Saloon.First opened in the 1880s when Upper Lake, California, was a stagecoach stop, our bar and restaurant in Upper Lake was a popular spot for weary travelers to get a hearty and comforting meal, enjoy a cold beverage, and make new friends. It was unfortunately torn down in the 1920s due to Prohibition, but the owners never forgot the legacy and deep history of the saloon. Rebuilt to match an 1870s-era back bar recycled from a pub in Pennsylvania, the expansive black-walnut bar and dining tables were built on site from a 100-plus-year-old tree harvested from the property. Old-growth redwood wainscoting discovered during the hotel’s renovation was rescued and reused in the saloon.

    Always a wonderful experience at Terra Farm Kitchen. My favorite gluten free pizza hands down. Sara our server was excellent as always and my friend and I enjoyed a wonderful evening. Highly recommend the Arugula salad, Fathers & Daughters Bubbles, and the Non Alcoholic Spritzer Apertif, all of their pizzas are delicious. There’s really something for everyone if you enjoy delicious fresh food!
