Make It a Full Wellness Morning!
Heading to Small Craft? Why not start your day with a sauna session at Takka before your visit.

Our sauna along the portage offers the perfect way to ground yourself before the buzz of the day - step into the warmth, breathe deeply, and let your body and mind reset. Whether you’re loosening up your muscles for a run, easing into a weekend paddle, or just craving a quiet pause, a sauna at Takka sets the tone.

Sessions are easy to secure ahead of time, and you’ll leave refreshed, connected, and ready to savor whatever’s next.

Join us every Wednesday at 7:00 PM for Trivia Night at Small Craft. A free, fun, and friendly competition hosted by Kenna Sanford. Play in teams of 2–6 (or join one when you arrive) and take on three rounds of questions, with themes that change weekly.

Winners get a $25 Small Craft gift card, plus enjoy $1 off drafts from 7:00–8:30 PM. No signup needed, just show up, grab a drink, and get thinking!
