Happy hour is made “happy” by good food and good company. A cheap drink and eats without friends might be easy on the wallet, but it leaves something to be desired in the social category.
As a celiac, it can be hard to find a good happy hour that doesn’t leave one asking a million and one questions and interrupting good conversation to make sure it’s really gluten free. That’s where the Rocket Market’s Do-It-Yourself happy hour comes in. They have a wide selection of sweet and salty snacks that can be paired perfectly with your choice of gluten free beverage. They don’t skimp on the choices of gluten free beverages either, with two gluten free beers, several ciders, wine, and champagne, in addition to assorted juices and organic sodas.
Fox Barrel and Spire Cider
Gluten Free Beer
The pastry case abounds with gluten free delights. On this evening we found chocolate cheesecake and key lime pie. The selection is constantly changing, as they get deliveries every few days from a local gluten free baker, with a dedicated gf kitchen!
Gluten Free Key Lime Pie
Chocolate Cheesecake
After you make your selection, and pay retail store prices, grab a seat in the fishbowl dining room for a comfortable place to catch up, picnic-style, with those precious friends. We shared a piece of the chocolate cheesecake along with our beverages.
Winows to the South Hill

I’m looking for a gluten-free baker to bake a small wedding cake for my daughter’s wedding on 8/10 (Coeur d’Alene). Would you be willing to give me your baker’s name and phone #? Thank you.

I recently finished the licensing requirements for a gluten free brewery In Chewelah dubbed Beljica Brewing. I should have the NWPA on tap in several bars by late this month. If your interested in writing a small piece with a link to my website (currently under going an over haul) I would be happy to supply a sample.
