Since opening its doors, it's quickly become a favorite local hangout.

Believe it or not, the vine came here all the way from Germantown, Pennsylvania. It migrated west to Hilltop Farm near Forest Grove in 1848, on to Vancouver in the late 1800s, finally arriving here with the construction of the Patio Building in 1947.

Some of them have some pretty clever names, like Gettin' Fresh With Pam, a pale ale.

The food is made from scratch, locally sourced, sustainable, and scrumptious.

It doesn't get much better than savoring tacos and beer in the sunshine. The century-old ivy only enhances the experience.
