McCall is known for its Huckleberries, like The Bar is known for its Huckletini. This famed classic is crafted with Cointreau, juicy huckleberries, and a splash of lime and served in a chilled martini glass. Enjoy local flavor without the alcohol by ordering a Virgin Huckletini.

Fall in McCall is more than signature craft cocktails. It’s about warm, hearty bites that embody the season, too. When it comes to ingredients that truly capture this time of year, apples take center stage. And for those cozy, shareable moments? Our rich, melty fondue is the perfect pairing.
