Folks, I've been procrastinating, but I think it's time we had a talk about #TDNE2020… Promoting safe cycling has always been the main aim of the fest and unfortunately, I don't see how we can safely have a thousand people together right now. Given the current restrictions, it's looking like we'll have to cancel Tour De North End this year. ….hey wait …don't cry! C'mon buddy, it'll be ok. Don't worry, TDNE will be back! Who knows, maybe we'll be able to fit in a ride this fall, or maybe we'll just have to wait till next year. Whatever the case may be, we will all ride together again soon. But you don't have to wait for us — the weather is beautiful, and nothing feels better after being cooped up in your house than a nice long bike ride. Even better, join the I Bike Rockford group and get involved to help make Rockford a more bike friendly city. ***** I started this fest ten years ago as a fun way to promote something I love doing, and at the same time, get some businesses in our neighborhood working together. I never imagined that people would respond the way that they have. The goodwill and positive press we've generated for cyclists over the last ten years (whoa! a decade!) has far surpassed anything I thought the fest could be. You've helped us raise thousands of dollars for local charities and cycling groups. You've helped us raise awareness about sharing the road. All I can say is thank you — you're really the ones that make the fest happen.#TDNE takes hundreds of hours of preparation and several dozens of people to make it work. I couldn't have pulled it off without the support of the The Olympic Tavern staff, Kegel's Bicycle Store, New Belgium Brewing, the Rock and Roll Institute, our alderman John Beck (we miss you John), all the other businesses in the Rockford North End — and of course, my mom and dad. It's definitely the most work I put into any event, but it's also the most rewarding. So until we ride again, stay safe out there. Be kind to others, watch out for jerks, and try to keep the rubber side down. Zak Rotellozak@theolympictavern.com
A quick update — the health dept. released indoor dining rules yesterday, and unfortunately that doesn't give us a lot of time to adjust, so we will continue with OUTDOOR only dining this weekend (June 24-27). Please call us for curbside pickup at 815.962.8758 — we are NOT accepting RSVPS at this time.Next week, we will here deep cleaning on Monday and Tuesday. We need a few days to get the bar and restaurant up to snuff, cleaned and all surfaces sanitized, order in some fresh kegs of beer, update menus and reconfigure our seating to be in compliance with health code restrictions. We will resume with INDOOR service starting Wednesday July 1 from 4-9pm daily (last call for food 8:30). Tables will be spaced at least 6 feet, bar seating will be limited, and guests will be required to wear masks when entering and in common areas. The safety of our staff and guests is our #1 priority, so if you see something we could be doing better (or if you think a staffer is doing a great job, and deserves recognition), please flag down a manager and let us know. It's been a rollercoaster of a year so far — thank you to all our fans who've held on tight with us.
Hey everyone – we're back! We missed you and cannot wait to see you. It'll be a little bit of a learning curve as we get back into a regular schedule, so please note the following important info: –This week we'll be open Wednesday-Friday 4pm-9pm for outdoor dining and carryout, plus Saturday we'll be open from 12pm-9pm for brunch AND dinner service. If all goes well, we'll expand those hours next week. –Our seating has been limited by the health department, so we are NOT accepting reservations at this time — just walk up to our host station at the patio entrance and we'll get you a table. If you need to wait, we'll ask you to either take a walk around the beautiful Edgewater neighborhood or wait in your car until we text you that your table is ready.–If you're picking up a carryout order, please enter the lot via Main St and head north along our alleyway. Park opposite our kitchen entrance and we'll bring your food right out. Our menu is on our website at https://theolympictavern.com/ Yes, you can prepay over the phone for touchless pickup — ring us at 815.962.8758.–Wear a mask when not at your table. Feel free to take it off when dining with your family / friends, but masks must be worn in common areas, using the restroom, etc.–Allow ~60 minutes hour for your visit — normally, we’d love to have you sit around with us for hours, but for now, we need to turn tables quickly.–Do not move tables or chairs. Our current table layout has been approved by health dept and we are not allowed to push tables together to make parties larger than 6. –Please no pets on the patio. Pints for Pups will be back soon but for now, please leave Fido at home.–No smoking – our outdoor seating area is smoke free, but we have designated smoking areas near the Main St and Fulton entrances.–Guests who do not follow our guidelines will be asked to leave.With all these new restrictions, we're bound to have some hiccups, so please be patient with our staff — if you have any questions or concerns, feel free to email me directly at info@theolympictavern.com. Cheers! The Olympic Tavern Crew
Olympic Fans – we are CLOSED starting today, Monday 3/23/20. We'd much rather be at work, serving you burgers, beer and cocktails — and soon we will be! But for now, we're taking a break to do some organization, deep cleaning and retooling. Stay tuned — we'll post up some fun contests over the next few days so we can stay in touch via Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. We owe a huge thank you to all our fans — we appreciate your support more than you know. Stay safe and take care of each other.
Hey folks — we're back at it again tonight with our limited menu plus our $13 Friday Fish Fry from 4-9pm (last call for food around 8:30).

Plenty of beer, wine and growlers available to-go* as well — all the info's on our website's menu tab. *Please bring your own (clean) growler — we'll sanitize and fill it!
