Thursdays just got a whole lot better, for you and your pup. Yappy Hour at St. James Bay is the perfect excuse to kick back in our laid-back outdoor setting, where the breeze off the bay, warm sunshine, and easygoing vibe set the tone for a relaxing afternoon.
While you enjoy happy hour food and drink specials, your dog gets the VIP treatment with free snacks and fresh water bowls, because they deserve a good time too. It’s part social hour, part puppy party, with plenty of tail wags, cold drinks, and great company all around.
Grab a seat, bring your pup, and settle in. This is what afternoons at the bay are all about.

About the Beaver Moon
The November full moon is traditionally referred to as the “Beaver Moon”. The indigenous American tribes associated this moon to a time when beavers were actively fortifying lodges and were seen securing winter stores of food. Native Americans also called it the Frost Moon and Freezing Moon. The energy of this moon aligns with completion, persistence, culmination, and security.
