HONORING THE PAST

North Hill on Garland (NHG) reopened, after closing in 2019 for the pandemic.

David moved back to Spokane in 2021 to look after his mother and reopen the North Hill On Garland Restaurant and Bar.

An Air Force veteran, he has worked for companies like Microsoft where he was the Sr. Director of the Microsoft Partner Solutions center in Redmond WA. and SQLSoft+ in the IT Industry.

Prior to reopening NHG he lived in Bandon Oregon as a partner at (
Alloro Wine Bar & Restaurant). David is a hands-on and on-site owner. He loves to meet his guests and get to know them. He has updated the inside and added tables to the patio, both upstairs and downstairs. It’s an all new vibe, an evolving menu with the addition of a great wine list that will complement the craft cocktails of this Garland District landmark. Located in the beautiful old Masonic Temple building, NHG is a welcoming local landing spot for the neighborhood. A great place eat, drink and turn it all off. David and the staff look forward meeting you.

Now this beautiful 1921 Masonic Temple. The build was completed in late 1920 and became home to the Masons in 1921. It has been a fixture of the Garland Neighborhood and is certainly the most beautiful building in the District. After being purchased it went though an extensive renovtion with office spaces and the restaurant.

The exterior door in the original door the the beautiful original sign hangs proudly in the restaurant. 


 

The Garland District began in 1910 with the building of the street railway system, particularly the Post Street Line. By the late 1920's, the district started to take shape. The North Hill Masonic Lodge #210 was established in 1915 and built their beautiful building, now the home of North Hill on Garland Restaurant & Synergy Properties, at the corner of Garland Avenue and Wall Street in 1921.

​

The 1921 Masonic Temple building, North Hill on Garland opened in November 2018. Keith Riddle and Paul Cassel had a vison to restore this beautiful building into a neighborhood pub and gathering place. Utilizing the rustic tones of the original brick and wood they gathered materials from around Spokane. Combining wood from the original carousel downtown, acquiring old movie projector tables and refurbishing those outside patio tables with wood from the temple they have created a beautiful and welcoming experience.

​

As you walk up you will see the beautiful brick walls, corner stone to the building and the door that the members walked through. When you step inside you are greeted by one of the original signs that hung outside the building that has been refurbished to its original splendor. The brick walls were hand cleaned and carefully refurbished as well as the original hardwood floor.

 

Come visit us and let David Hayes the new proprietor share a bit of the history of his pub.
