Our history

The original structure, erected in the 1950s, functioned as a pivotal hub for the community, housing a general store and post office. Throughout its history, ownership of the building alternated between the Fredricks, Mcaroy, and Hackett families.

In 1997, a dynamic transformation occurred when Dave and Kate, along with Beth, infused new life into the establishment, repurposing it as the renowned Funky Fish cafe, restaurant, and bar. Their endeavor proved immensely successful, with the venue not only becoming a culinary hotspot but also a vibrant cultural venue hosting numerous concerts and events.

Today the funky fish is solely an event space for birthday parties, receptions, gatherings and more!
