Valhalla, Hall of the Slain, in Norse mythology is the hall presided over by Odin. This vast hall has five hundred and forty doors. The rafters are spears, the hall is roofed with shields, and breast-plates litter the benches. A wolf guards the western door and an eagle hovers over it. It is here that the Valkyries, Odin's messengers and spirits of war, bring half of the heroes that died on the battle fields (the rest go to Freya's hall Folkvang). These heroes, the Einherjar, are prepared in Valhalla for the oncoming battle of Ragnarok. When the battle commences, eight hundred warriors will march shoulder to shoulder out of each door. Until that fateful day, the warriors of Valhalla rejoice and drink with each other, sharing stories of high adventure and of things that have not yet come to pass.

VALHALLA BAR & GRILL is a college bar that caters to Washington State University and the Pullman community. Although the location has been around for ages (it has been called the ZOO, the Cavern, and the Oasis to name a few), the name Valhalla was adopted in 1999, and is a brother establishment to My Office Tavern located in downtown Pullman. Valhalla's cool environment, cheap prices, and convenient location makes it Pullman's #1 party spot.
