About Us

History

Our Mission

Our Mission

The Outrigger building spent an early life as a lumberyard, a plumbing supply house and a bar and grill.  The building glows with its history and experience.  As a music venue, The Outrigger is known for its intimacy, its welcoming audiences and its sonic warmth. Summers allow us to expand into an outdoor setting and The Outrigger has hosted concerts, parties and fundraisers both inside and out.  Wine and beer are always available at our well stocked bar.
