Great local sandwich spot with Oregon Trail Ales on tap and in production on site! Iconic and eclectic, this space is also home to Belly Dance and Accordioso performances, a chess club, and OSU's Science Pub meets here (arrive early, they're well attended). Off performance times, enjoying a sandwich (they make half-sandos too!) while taking in the decor is well worth the detour!
