In downtown Olympia, Ilk Lodge brings people together with great beer, classic American comfort food, and a strong sense of community. Co-owner and head brewer Pat Jansen started with a Smashburger pop-up during the pandemic, which eventually grew into the lively gathering spot it is today. By sourcing much of their ingredients locally, Ilk Lodge highlights Washington-grown products while creating a welcoming place to eat, drink, and connect.
