About us

Welcome to The Octopus' Beer Garden – a riverside escape where good food, great drinks, and a warm community come together.

Nestled along the waterfront, The Octopus' Beer Garden is more than just a restaurant—it’s a dream brought to life by the Halaas family. Originally established in the early 2000s as The Captain’s Landing, Chef Bob, alongside his wife Tonia and dedicated family members, worked tirelessly to transform the space into something extraordinary. After returning in 2017, their vision evolved, and in 2019, The Octopus’ Beer Garden officially opened its doors.

Today, it stands as a vibrant gathering place where guests can sit back, relax, and soak in the beauty of the river while enjoying thoughtfully crafted dishes and refreshing drinks. Whether you’re looking for a casual bite, a unique craft beer selection, or simply a welcoming atmosphere, you’ll find it here.

Come and experience the heart, history, and hospitality that make The Octopus' Beer Garden a one-of-a-kind destination. We can’t wait to welcome you!

We have a huge selection of different beers to try and a tasty homemade food menu, crafted by Chef Bob for every season.

Our daughter, Kayla, supported by her husband Mark, is a big part of making sure everything runs smoothly. She works hard in all facets of the restaurant including the kitchen, just like our talented sons, Robert and Nicholas. Our daughter-in-law Jessica excels in keeping the gardens looking great.

Our family has grown with two sweet little boys and a baby girl, and we're all really happy to be a part of this special place. We can't wait for you to come visit us and have a great time here with your loved ones.
