  Bar Manager

  Bar Manager at a unique concept that explores the sense of community and escapism found through both games and restaurants. Epoch offers curated pop-culture themed cocktails, both with and without alcohol, as well as an inspired beer and wine list. Food options are hearty, approachable, and affordable for all members of the Wenatchee Valley to enjoy. Epoch is an inclusive space, that holds Drag Brunches, Burlesque, live music, and various video and board gaming tournaments in addition to regular service. I pride myself in combining an upscale cocktail culture with a non-pretentious, inviting environment. Show less
