OPENINGS
Skål Beer Hall
Ballard’s long-awaited Viking-inspired Scandinavian beer hall, which has been in the works since last year, will open in the former space of the People’s Pub next Wednesday, April 10. Prior to that, it will offer a series of ticketed soft openings exclusively for members of its “Mug Club.” The bar will feature Nordic-inspired craft beer, wine, cider, mead, and specialty cocktails from chef and distiller Lexi, who only goes by her first name and previously owned Old Ballard Liquor Company. Food includes hearty meats like venison and sausage.
