The staff took great care in devising a menu worthy of Olympians. Items will be available for the duration of the games and proceeds will be directed to charity.
Though official Pub Olympics games will happen once a week, all games will be available to patrons to enjoy every night for the duration of the Olympics.
Just by having a drink at Warriors Tavern from August 5th to August 21st, you'll be supporting one of these local organizations. Upon paying your tab, please choose which Team Leader and, consequently, to which of these organizations 10% of your tab will go. 50% of all proceeds from our special Olympics offers go straight to charity.

Think you got it in you to drive your team to victory? Volunteer to be a warrior and compete in the Pub Olympics official games! Games will happen once a week from August 5th-21st. You don't need experience, all you need is gumption, commitment and keen sportsmanship. Team Leaders are responsible for assembling their warriors, so check out your options in teams below. Every warrior will get a "medal of honor" for their dedication. Medals of honor are surprise prizes chosen by the Team Leaders and may be given out throughout the month.
Warriors Tavern's staff has stepped up to the challenge. Below you'll find the team leaders. Each team leader is an employee at the Tavern. Before paying your tab, you'll be able to choose to which team to direct your donation. The power is in your hands. Team Leaders have the role to charm, engage and win over your vote for their team. A tally of the donations to each team will be kept behind the counter and updated once or twice daily. So who wins? Everyone. No matter who you choose, you'll be helping the community by simply enjoying a drink. That doesn't mean make it easy for them. Make them work for your vote. Who doesn't love a little friendly competition?
