Laurelwood Live: The Brewer's Den

February 02, 2008

The Brewer's Den

Did you know that there's a lounge upstairs at the 51st and Sandy Laurelwood?

Well there is, and it's really cool. There's comfy couches, a big screen tv, your own little bar, and now it's open Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings. And whenever the weather decides to cooperate, we'll open up the outdoor deck too.

Join us in the Brewer's Den for fun, food, and great handcrafted beers. You may even catch a glimpse of the wild Oregon brewer in his native habitat.
