It’s August, which means the Olympic Games are finally here! From August 5 to 21, people worldwide will be glued to their televisions and radios, wearing their country’s flags and face paint in honor of the athletes that are fighting for a chance to bring home the gold.
If you can’t travel to Rio de Janiero this year, stop by Madrones instead. From Chile and Cuba to New Zealand and England, we have a few entrees and drinks that might be more spectacular than lighting the Olympic torch.

Here at Madrones, we love celebrating culture with our food and drinks year-round, but you can’t resist the competitive charm of the summer Olympics. With each win, a country demonstrates more pride than ever before, and athletes realize that all of their hard work was worth the glory.
From all of us at Madrones, we’re ready to celebrate with you.
