Skål Beer Hall

Skål Beer Hall Inspired by Viking mead halls, our rustic tavern serves Nordic fare, craft beer, mead, & cocktails Skål! The beer hall is 21+ after 8pm.

Skål (meaning "cheers") is our interpretation of what a Viking meadhall would be like today with a selection of local and Nordic craft beer, mead, & aquavit cocktails. Our full kitchen is inspired by the idea of a Viking butcher shop. Feast with us inside the beer hall or outside in our covered pergola, get takeout, or fill a growler.

One of the last remaining kegs of Norwegian Sunburn red is now on draft at the beer hall!

Slippery Pig sadly closed their doors earlier this month. Tusen takk to Dave, Shawna, and their entire crew for years of support and friendship. They have been a pillar of the Nordic and brewing community in Poulsbo for over a decade, hosting Viking Strongman Competitions and generally spreading good cheer. They were even so bold as to make a permanent home for LUTEFISK tacos on their menu 😳 and to brew the knock you on your ass Techno Viking.

We fondly remember Dave in his signature kilt picking up our original team from the ferry back in 2019 in his "Church Van" for a day of "research" in Poulsbo. Join us in raising a pint to him and his crew!

Once this keg is gone, we have one more in reserve for Syttende Mai. Grab a pint while you can. Skål!

It’s St. Patrick’s Day weekend! 🌈 ☘️ Celebrate with the Iceland 🇮🇸 x Ireland 🇮🇪 Green Jell-o shot! Made with @brennivinusa & 🍋‍🟩 jell-o, they’re fruity, delicious, & guaranteed to get the party started!

In honor of @seattlecocktailweek we decided to feature one of our favorite cocktails, the Forage & Frolic, which is also our Tarot Thursday Reader’s @readerbythewood favorite drink! It’s made with @64reykjavik Icelandic Angelica Gin, Rhubarb liqueur, lemon, @angosturahouse Orange bitters, & topped with @fevertree_usa Tonic. Try it this week & let us know what you think!

It’s officially @seattlecocktailweek! Come try our featured cocktails & mocktails to celebrate. Here’s a fan favorite, the Navigator, made with Høvding Aquavit, @woodinvillewhiskeyco Bourbon, @aperolusa, and Triple Sec. It’s smoked & garnished with a sprig of fresh rosemary. Let us know what you think in the comments, & stay tuned for more cocktail week updates!

Tomorrow is Icelandic Beer Day, or Bjórdagurinn. It marks the day in 1989 when beer became legal again after a 74-year ban. We decided to start the party early by brewing up a Jell-o shot that only a true Icelander would order… OPAL JELL-O SHOTS! 🇮🇸 🎯 Get one this weekend, available until we sell out! 🎉

Thanks to everyone who endured the rain for Winter Mead Festival this Sunday! We can’t wait to celebrate again in the spring!

We have an incredible weekend special for you! The salmon collar is considered one of the best parts of the fish- with a delectably sweet & rich flavor that’s super moist, it’s a true delicacy! It’s served with fried red potatoes & Sandefjordsmør, a Norwegian butter sauce with lemon, dill, & chive. It’s a steal at only $19! Get one today, only limited quantities available.

Big News! We are now offering pitchers! Even better? They’re included in our Happy Hour! Kick off your Friday with a discounted pitcher today from 3:30-6pm! 🍻

New on our menu! We wanted to bring back a salmon sando, but with an extra Nordic touch. Try the Salmon Lefse Wrap- Made with grilled salmon, mustard greens, cucumber, crispy onion, horseradish & aioli, all wrapped in Lefse. It’s a new staff favorite for sure! Try it this week and let us know what you think!

New behind the bar! Try the Torvald’s Toddy! Our Scandinavian twist on a classic, made with @hardware_distillery Cardamom aquavit, @hierophantmeadery Lavender Citrus mead, lemon 🍋, & honey 🍯 syrup. Or if you prefer the classic, substitute aquavit for @woodinvillewhiskeyco Bourbon.

Our Valhalla Dinner with @fortgeorgebeer is this Thursday! Check out the incredible menu on our website, including the first course of beet-cured lox skewers, made with house-cured king salmon, lime caviar, cornichon, scallion, & mead sweet n’ sour sauce (df, gf).
