Father Mulligan's Heritage Bar
Inspired by the rich history of The Lodge at St. Edward, Father Mulligan’s Heritage Bar offers a warm, inviting atmosphere for guests from day to night, serving a full menu all day starting with a morning coffee bar and inspired breakfast menu, to drop-in afternoon bites and drinks, to pre and post-dinner cocktails and desserts.
The Tonsorium Bar
Named for its history as the barbershop during The Lodge at St. Edward's former life, The Tonsorium Bar is the whimsical counterpart to Heritage Bar. Stop in after hours for fantastical cocktails, adventurous food, and an intimate speakeasy atmosphere. The Tonsorium hosts a rotating lineup of local musicians Wednesdays through Fridays and an ever-evolving menu.

The Lodge at St. Edward State Park is located in a serene Washington State Park, with tranquil old-growth forests, miles of hiking and biking trails, magnificent Lake Washington coastline, and endless opportunities for outdoor adventure right in our backyard. We have immense respect for the land where The Lodge resides, and invite you to join us in preserving the park for generations to come while enjoying the restorative energy the natural beauty delivers.

Lawn games are available for guest use to get a game of cornhole or croquet going on a sunny summer day.
Set out on a nature hike or rent a mountain bike from the front desk, available for complimentary guest use to explore the park bike trails. Bikes are first come, first served.
Saint Edward State Park has inspired decades of artists, storytellers, writers, and historians, who have been awakened and enlightened by the power and beauty of the awe-inspiring natural setting. The Lodge at St. Edward continues to be a gathering place that celebrates and nurtures local artists. The Gallery of Fine Arts houses a rotating artist showcase – with all artists hailing from the Pacific Northwest, featuring pieces to admire and purchase at Catalyst Fine Art.
The Lodge is also home to an Artist in Residence program, a series of rotating local artists who will take inspiration from our surroundings to create, and give demonstrations of their craft through both private and public lessons. We invite our guests and the local community to wander the grand hallway and soak in the inspiration, come meet our Artists in Residence and learn from their craft, and join us in the appreciation and respect of art in all forms.

The Lodge at St. Edward State Park has a rich history, with decades of stories living within our walls. Dating back to the 1920s, Saint Edward Seminary was built as a sacred place of learning, and later preserved as a pristine Washington State Park. Take the journey from past to present with our self-guided Stories of St. Edward tour. Venture throughout the property to find QR codes each linking to a history lesson, photo gallery, or video that tells the story of the space you stand in, the significance it holds to the property, and the heritage of this iconic landmark preserved in time.
Our region is home to an eclectic collection of musicians, poets, spoken-word performers, and more. The Lodge intends to be a home away from home for these artists and features live music performances weekly in our restaurants and bars. We also partner with the city of Kenmore, the Bothell Kenmore Chamber of Commerce, and other groups to sponsor concerts in the park and community events in our backyard.
Queue the crumpets and set the table with teacups, and you’ve got the perfect afternoon at The Lodge at St. Edward’s newest weekly affair, St. Edward Afternoon Tea.

Set in the beautiful Cedar + Elm dining room, once the dining hall for students of the Saint Edward Seminary, you can delight in an afternoon reminiscent of earlier times as you leisurely eat your way through three tiers of decadent sweets and savory finger foods, as well as soothing teas both hot and sparkling from Rishi Tea & Botanicals. This modern and joyful take on high tea respectfully pays homage to its rich history and refined roots, while providing an unforgettable and approachable experience to share with friends and family.
