One of our favorite places to grab a beers with a view. Located right on the banks of Oswego Lake, the Lake Theater Cafe has more to offer than just popcorn. It is one of our favorite spots to enjoy the summer breeze with a beer or a housemade cocktail (Patti's go to is the rum punch) & do not forget to try some of the best wood fired pizza in town or Keaton's favorite- the hummus plate.
within 10 minutes of our venue, this has some of the best beer & is a go to for both Connor & Keaton's family. It is located within a hazelnut orchard and is such a pretty patio (aka a giant field). It does not have food but you can bring food to have!
the cutest distillery on a working horse hospital (there's baby horse's & a Kentucky derby winning stallion on the property) with giant pond to have cocktails by and a cigar bar- we LOVE to stop here after wine tasting when we are tired of wine but want to have a cute cocktail and relax. (they don't have food to buy though so bring your own- recommend any taco at Dos Mundos in Newberg)
In the most beautiful/upscalehotel in all of Oregon, the hidden jem in this high end restaurant is the Jory Lounge (no reservations required) and their special lounge menu. Newberg locals come for a cocktail in the evenings regularly. Connor and Keaton love the tartare but Connor's go to is their 'Cesar Salad' & Keaton's go to is the 'Pinot Buger'. They have amazing espresso martini's & manhattans.
Close friends of Keaton & Connor's- Hazelfern Winery is utterly amazing and you can taste wine in revamped horse stalls on their property- you can't go wrong with literally any wine they have.
A close friend of Keaton & Connor's, Sara with Archer Winery Tasting Room in Dundee is the best person to visit and has some of the best wines (even Napa wine lovers love their cab) and has amazing live music concerts in the evenings which Keaton & friends are regulars at, they happily take walk in's ;).
They sell wine, have amazing burgers, and have pet-able llamas. Enough said.
The BEST nachos us & all of our families have ever had (if you don't believe me, pls ask them). idk what they do to make them but they are spectacular.
a regular for Keaton & Connor & their families, this place has crab pots/bait for rent & they help ya if you need it! bring a chair and get some beer at their store. you can buy crabs there if you don't get any ;) They also rent boats to crab off boats if thats the sort of thing you are into! pro tip: start crabbing 2 hours before or after high or low tide.
Keaton & Connor's go to for fun martini's and fondue (keaton's annual requested bday happy hour spot)
it's a bar with a wall to wall jelly fish aquarium and the freakin' best tapas (pro tip: get the ceviche)
