Oakland Tavern - Old School Fun Since the late 1800s…read more Stopped into the Oakland Tavern in Oakland, OR, and wow - what a blast! I think our bartender's name was Alicia (if so, she was fantastic - if not, whoever it was deserves a medal). Friendly, quick, and made the whole place feel like home. It's got some 49ers vibes going on, so you've been warned (or welcomed, depending on your team colors). This is an old-school bar - started in the late 1800s - but it's packed with life. Lots of colorful, interesting locals, and just an all-around great group of people to share a drink with. Didn't try the food, so no comment there - but the atmosphere alone was worth the stop. The kind of place you wish you could come back to every weekend. If you're anywhere near Oakland, OR, and in the mood for history, laughs, and a cold drink, this is your spot.

I discovered Lamplighter in Oakland several years ago when visiting my mother in Sutherlin…read more The first time was pre-remodeling. Dark, old 150 year old bar. Loved it Best part is they served grilled cheese sandwiches an pea soup, just like my mom used to make. (I'm 70) .they sold it and the new owners really spruced it up, and the menus, however, no pea soup but fantastic clam chowder and wonderful tomato soup. Great bar, fantastic service, wonderful music. I just came down due to my mother passing, but I still ate there 9 times in 3 weeks. Number one for comfort food. The elk burger is juicy, sweet potato fries, fish tacos were wonderful!! What ever u do, do not miss going next door to the most wonderful antique store you will ever visit. It's more like walking into Nordstroms than a dingy antique store. The owner is wonderful, so much so I have bought more than 5 vintage coats (pee coats, Harley, huge vintage coat from England, pewter candle hubris and many more. You will not be disappointed!!!,

Dogs are welcome here! Last night, my aunt was wondering what we should do for dinner and we…read moredecided on Why Not Bar and Grill. Why not? We walked over with out dogs in tow....or were we in tow? There weren't very many people there for a Friday night, but isn't that normal for a small town? My aunt and uncle were greeted promptly and we were seated next to the pool table. We all placed our orders. When they brought the food out, the waitress loved on my schnauzer. I got a chicken sandwich with tater tots because that's just what I order in places such as this. The sandwich was good. It was nice an crispy with lettuce, tomatoes, and cheese. I should have asked for pickles. The tots were good. They were crunchy and salty. I also got a sweet tea and it was also good. Overall, it was a nice visit. I recommend it because you can bring your dog. Thus is really convenient because I don't know Yoncalla and I don't know where to take my dog around here.

You want an excellent, tender, as good as any bullshit upscale restaurant rib eye? You are going to get that on Friday night steak night. You want a thick, flavorful, real beef burger? They've got you covered. Some of the best burgers in southern Oregon, by the way. They also have a very fine steelhead sandwich, tender and moist. You want an okay salad, basic weekend breakfast? Check. Strong, basic drinks? Check. You want skilled wait staff that work their asses off but still get you and your pals taken care of? Double check. I moved out along the River one year ago and discovered the Narrows shortly after. While I may be one if those progressive, feminist, environmentalist, mask wearing transplant types, I knew I had arrived when Jenna, Cris, and the gang began greeting me by name when I walked through the door and also remembering my orders. Yep. If you can get past yourself long enough to chat with the locals you learn some interesting things, make some colorful friends, hear some memorable stories. Like the time a guy showed up to rob the joint, pulled his handgun out of his pocket, demanded cash, and instead found himself facing a formidable crowd, every one of whom had pulled their own guns on him to protect their beloved bartender. 911 was called. Everyone ordered another round. The night went on. Yep. You're at the historical Narrows along the North Umpqua River. Behave yourself and have a good time. Pool tables, outdoor heated seating, plenty of those frisking annoying video poker machines and sports televisions if you're that type.

This is pretty cool to be the first to write a review! We were in Oregon over the weekend visiting…read morefamily and they decided to take us to Oakland, OR. They wanted to take us to Skog's for brunch but they were closed during the day and only open for dinner. However, their other business Turkey Hall was open and we decided to stop in. Oakland, OR is a small little town that's great for antiques and the local Roseburg residents are very familiar with their food. It's a small town, everyone knows a everything. When someone new arrives and opens a business, everyone knows about it or has already gone there. Turkey Hall and Skog's is a family business and they are originally from Nevada with roots in Northern California. I asked if they have their website up and they are currently working on it. Their son took our order and was friendly/courteous. Since we had breakfast at home, we kept it light with some cheese bread and a bottle of wine. There were also breakfast (pastries/coffee options) as well as a buffet pasta lunch while we were there. I can see this place as an event venue (i.e., private parties) or a place that can host live music/entertainment. There are two stages (small outdoor and an indoor stage). PJ who handles the entertainment is the person to contact to book your band. I am in awe with the decor: hardwood, motorcycles and chandeliers, a rifle for a door handle. Also there are a couple of non-working slot machines to pay homage to their NV roots. I really enjoyed the outdoor area. It connects both Turkey Hall and Skogs for outdoor dining, but it's well shaded and a great place to relax and enjoy company. There is a full bar and a wine bar section. There's a lot of good things, I hope it's not too much of a good thing. I hope to come back and visit a once they are in full swing but since they are brand spanking new, I give them props for starting out.

They have a solid selection of beers, and we tried several different ones--all were really good. We also picked up some cool bottles to take with us, which we loved. Huge shout-out to Leah--she was incredible. Super friendly, knowledgeable, and honestly the best salesperson. She helped us with merch and other purchases and really made the experience memorable. If she's not managing the place already, she absolutely should be. Great beer, great people, and a fun vibe. We'd definitely come back the next time we're in Reedsport. @wegotschwag

Our bartender, I believe her name was Taylor, was knowledgeable and we had a great conversation with her and another local at the bar. The beers were wonderful. They had some very traditional styles, but also fun, creative things like a tangerine/peach Hefeweizen. It was amazing! So were the traditional styles. If we weren't flying home rather than driving, we'd absolutely have left with a few take home packs. We tried all but one of the IPA's and they were fantastic. Stop here if you are a beer lover!!!

Just a heads up for anyone under 50, don't show up here because they are very ageist against people that don't have any gray hairs.

We had a cheeseburger with fries and a prime rib French Dip with tots. The hamburger looked hand formed with good beef. The bun soft and pillowy. The fries were thick cut and fresh out of the fryer. The prime rib French Dip must have been cut from the standing rib roast on Prime Rib Fridays. It was scrumptious. The tots were tasty and so good with fry sauce.
