Headed north from southern oregon, we found this place entirely by accident...not...it was actually recommended to us by the friendly folks at  SOSCAT (Sutherlin-Oakland Stray Cat Action Team) down the block.  We took a chance and we're so glad we did.  The bar staff members were so friendly and the sandwich so good we just couldn't believe we were in Oakland Oregon!  Not only that, the beer and particularly the Bloody Mary were both just what the doctor ordered.  If I ever drive this way again and don't stop for a refresher, just shoot me!  Thanks guys for being just what you are...fabulous!!
Review Source:We stopped off here on the southern leg of a northern trip, how lucky we were. The genuinely charming ambiance at this little tavern is just what I enjoy, add to that a selection of craft brew on draft and suddenly life is very good. Very good indeed. I'll be back each time I pass through that part of Oregon.
Review Source:An awesome little pub. Â I like their sandwiches, and my fav is the OT Grinder. Â They have a happy hour from 4-6 with a poor man's happy hour on Monday where you get Pabst ( I think) for $1.50 each. Â They also run special happy hour prices during NASCAR races. Â Gotta love it! Â
The atmosphere is laid back, and the crowd is mixed with all ages. Â It's a small town pub that has lots going on. Â they have lottery, darts (sometimes tourny's), pool, and misc video games. Â Lots of TV to watch the sports on too.
The Oakland Tavern is cool, laid back bar in a historic town. Best bar in Douglas County! Its truly a hidden treasure. The building has tons of history, nice beer selection, and great sandwiches. The staff is friendly, quick and always keeps your glass full. We always take visiting friends and family there and they love it too.
Review Source:The sandwiches are fantastic and their beer selection is top notch. Â Happy hour pricing is great. Â This is going to be the freshest pint of Ninkasi IPA you'll ever have without going to the brewery itself, 56 miles away, and at price that's at half of Portland bars. Â Just 2 miles off the freeway in a little-known country town known as Oakland, this is definitely a good place to grab lunch or switch drivers if you're making a trip north or south on I-5.
Review Source:Great sandwiches and drinks. Â The owners, Eric and the Chic, are down-to-earth people that take pride in their business and their community. Â
We stopped there on our way to Portland for a quick pint and a giggle and were surprisingly stoked on what a jem of a place this is. Â We split the tuna melt which was plenty for two people. Â
For a tavern in the middle of the state, this place is great!
