Bogie’s Café and Pub has opened for breakfast, lunch, and snacks at the Orcas Island Country Golf Club. Clubhouse manager Nikki Freeman is in charge of this new venture, which is open to the public daily from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., with Happy Hour from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. weekdays.

To accommodate Bogie’s, the clubhouse interior has been remodeled to allow both bar service and table service, while food and beverage service will be available on the deck and on the patio, weather permitting.

Breakfast currently includes bagels, muffins, granola, and fruit. The lunch menu features a variety of salads, sandwiches, and panini, with an emphasis on speedy service for hungry golfers, busy locals and passing travelers. A wide range of beverages, including wines and both draft and bottled beers, is available.

Why the name Bogie’s? It’s not just the golfing term of one-over-par, but a tribute to the memory of Bogie, the longtime golf course black cat. Bogie, who inhabited the clubhouse for most of 20 years, was an animal with a very strong personality, sometimes friendly and charming, sometimes thoroughly irascible, and notable for a loud and asthmatic “miaow” suggestive of late nights in bars and excessive cigar smoking.

Freeman says: “I want the clubhouse — and Bogie’s — to be the social center for islanders that it was in Bogie the cat’s heyday.”
