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 Buck Moon
The July full moon, traditionally referred to as the “Buck Moon”, was named by indigenous American Tribes referring to the time of year when deer antlers are in rapid growth. The name reflects a visible, seasonal change in midsummer. Other names for this moon are Thunder Moon (Western Abenaki), Raspberry Moon (Algonquin, Ojibwe), Flying Moon (Ojibwe), Honeybee Moon (Mahican), String Bean Moon (Oneida), and Little Sister of the Summer Moon (Tunica).
