Olympia Provisions Public House, formerly known as OP Wurst, is a public house in Portland, Oregon owned and operated by Olympia Provisions
History[]
In 2016, Olympia Provisions opened a small bar-restaurant in Pine Street Market called OP Wurst.[1] The restaurant served artisan frankfurters, sausages, and beer. Later that year, the company opened a second OP Wurst location in Oregon City at Oregon City Brewing.[2]
In March 2017, a third location opened on Division Street in Southeast Portland's Richmond neighborhood.[3] The Division Street location was the first OP Wurst located in a stand-alone building.[3] This third location was located in a building that formerly housed Honky Tonk Taco, an unrelated taco shop started by Olympia Provisions owners Tilden, Schwartz, and Gaston, that closed after being open for only three months.[4][5] The location has an outdoor patio, which the bar-restaurant frequently uses to host events such as Oktoberfest, and in the winter hosts a Christmas tree lot.[4][6][7][8]
In May 2018, OP Wurst temporarily closed its bars and rebranded as Olympia Provisions Public House.[9] The new concept serves Apline-themed food based on owner Elias Cairo's apprenticeship in Switzerland.[10] The rebranding took place partially because customers did not recognize that OP Wurst was connected to the Olympia Provisions brand.[10][6] Olympia Provisions Public House serves German-style beer from a local brewery, Rosenstadt Brewery, and serves a home-base for the brewery's beer.[11][12][13]
In October 2019, Olympia Provisions closed the public house location in Pine Street Market to focus on their wholesale business.[14] During the COVID-19 pandemic, the restaurant expanded outdoor seating into the parking lot and operated a take-out service.[15][16][17]
