You might think breathtaking views are reserved only for stuffy, overpriced fine dining establishments, but luckily for us, this cozy little spot proves that’s just not the case. City View Tavern has the kind of authentic charm that causes guests to affectionately label it a “dive” or “hole in the wall,” but it also goes to show you that good things come in small packages.

Located on Oregon Street in Mount Adams, City View Tavern is housed in a tiny historic building that dates back to 1875.

It was home to a neighborhood grocery and tavern (with a second-floor residence) for many decades.

Its short stature is due to a fire in the '40s, when the top floor was lost and never rebuilt.
These humble digs hold quite a surprise, though.
