Free Cheese on National Swiss Day

Join us to celebrate National Swiss day with a free cheese fondue!

By all accounts, this melted cheese dish of fondue is a Swiss tradition. Most references agree that cheese fondue originated high in the Swiss Alps. Chocolate fondue originated in The Swiss Chalet Restaurant in New York with the delicious Swiss Toblerone Chocolate Bar.

To help us celebrate simply enjoy a free cheese fondue with the purchase of an entrée.

Wear your national costume and have an opportunity to win dinner for two!

Enjoy our featured Swiss chocolate fondue and Swiss cocktails!

The Deck at Moonshine Flats

Max Flinn LIVE

Presented by Mountain Country 107.9 FM – Don’t miss Max Flinn LIVE at The Deck on Friday, 8/2!

Max was born and raised in Houston, TX. His love for Texas country music started in Junior High and was heavily influenced by Pat Green, Robert Earl Keen, Cory Morrow, and company. Playing music was never more than a hobby for most of his teens and twenties. He would entertain friends and family members but the idea of a career in music didn’t ever cross his mind. It wasn’t long after taking a job in the oil and gas industry that Max knew his heart was elsewhere. He recalls that first time introducing himself on stage as “a terrifying moment”. After four years as a financial analyst it was time to take a leap of faith. Slowly but surely, he gained enough of a following and regular gigs to leave the security of a corporate job behind.

When: Friday, August 2 5PM – 8PM

Where: 335 Sixth Avenue, San Diego, CA 92101
