Our Story

A place built for
the people here.

Backwoods Outpost isn't a trend — it's a commitment to doing the basics exceptionally well. We source our coffee from roasters who treat every batch like a craft, and our bar program draws on the best of Northern California's spirit tradition.

Whether you're pulling up a stool for a single-origin pour at 8 a.m. or settling in for a mezcal old-fashioned at 9 p.m., the experience is the same: no pretense, just good food, thoughtful drinks, and a room that feels like yours.
