After 12 incredible years, we’re thrilled to share some big news: Jake’s on the Water is entering an exciting new chapter!
We’re proud to announce that this fall, Nick Zirn and his mother Alice McClure will become the new owners of Jake’s, taking the helm on November 1st. Nick will bring the energy, vision, and love for this place that Jake’s deserves — and we couldn’t be more excited to pass the torch to them.
For 12 years, this waterfront spot in Hannawa Falls has been more than a restaurant. It’s been sunsets over the water, packed decks on summer nights, great food, cold drinks, and countless memories made with all of you. None of that changes. If anything, it’s just getting started.
To our staff, our regulars, and everyone who’s ever pulled up a chair here — thank you. You made Jake’s what it is. And now we get to watch it grow into something even better.
Come see us this season, raise a glass, and give Nick a warm North Country welcome. Because we’ve always known one thing to be true:
Good things happen at Jake’s.
— Marc & Chris Compeau
