What is Jake’s Beer Dinner?

Hosted on select nights during the year, Jake’s Beer Dinner at Royal Pacific Resort offers an exciting evening of culinary adventure. The beers, lagers, and/or ales from one featured brewery or another are paired with a five-course meal (including dessert!) that’s prepared by the hotel’s distinguished chefs.

Jake’s dinner normally takes place in the private Clipper Room of Jake’s American Bar, but, twice a year, it occurs under the outdoor Wantilan Pavilion. This version of the event, known as Jake’s Beer Festival, features 50 or more craft and specialty beers, as well as creative dishes and live entertainment.
