From Tots to Taps: Collective on Tap Transformation Nearly Complete

Woodinville's Tot Spot Cafe will open as a tavern known as The Collective on Tap sometime in the next few weeks, according to owner Kat Stremlau.

The transformation of Woodinville's Tot Spot Cafe to a bar is nearly complete, according to owner Kat Stremlau.

"We just passed the liquor board inspection and the beer lines are being installed this week," Stremlau told Patch on Monday.

The once-popular hangout for mothers and little ones at 17802 134th Ave NE will become The Collective on Tap with 20 local beers and food described as "savory grazers."

Currently on their Facebook page, they've been asking for input to name deep dish cookies. They're also touting their bar and "ultra comfortable Paisley print booths."

It will also be the only tavern to offer beer from the Dirty Bucket Brewing Company. 

Stremlau said a soft opening will come in the next few weeks with a grand opening sometime in January.

The Tot Spot closed its doors in August after Stremlau wanted to move on to a new phase in her life. She and business partner Jan Newton have been working on the renovation. 

"There are so many new breweries coming about," Stremlau said previously, adding that she wants to help the local beer scene gain the attention it deserves.

"I can't wait," she said.

Hello Mr. Francois and NSD School Board, I have been keeping an open mind about the choice ofRead More Wednesday as the early release day. I kept an open mind, but not so open that my brains fell out. I voted for Friday for a reason. Not to take my child out of school early or in hopes that teachers would see it as a day off, but because it made the most sense for my family. Wednesday wasn't a horrible day and was my 2nd choice. Personally, now, after reviewing others input, your input and doing some thinking on my own, I believe you made the wrong choice. Your parents have brains, we are educated and we gave you our opinion and trusted that you would actually use the poll data wisely. You failed us, therefore you failed our children. It is okay so say you made a mistake, that is what we teach our children. Please tell your parents you made a mistake and make Friday early release day for the new school year. Positively hopeful!

We did not see the cougar recently, but interestingly saw one in the same location several monthsRead More ago.

No-brainer, switch to someone else. And tell everyone else to do so too. Like you already are here.

I have lived in Woodinville for over18 years. For around 5 years after we moved there on any warmRead More summer night you could look up and see at least 3 balloons and many times 4,5,6 or 7 of them but that all stopped abruptly one year. The explanation we got was that the balloonist were following the French historical practice of awarding a bottle of champagne to any land owner who's land they happened to land on. Well, the state couldn't allow that since the balloonist had no liquor license. Don't you just love government?
