Olympia Provisions Public House, formerly known as OP Wurst, was 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. [2] 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. [3]

In March 2017, a third location opened on Division Street in Southeast Portland's Richmond neighborhood. [4] The Division Street location was the first OP Wurst located in a stand-alone building. [4] 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. [5] [6] The location had an outdoor patio, which the bar-restaurant frequently used to host events such as Oktoberfest, and in the winter hosted a Christmas tree lot. [5] [7] [8] [9] It became known as Alpenrausch, [10] which was named one of the twenty best new restaurants of 2024 by Bon Appétit . [11]

In May 2018, OP Wurst temporarily closed its bars and rebranded as Olympia Provisions Public House. [12] The new concept served Apline-themed food based on owner Elias Cairo's apprenticeship in Switzerland. [13] The rebranding took place partially because customers did not recognize that OP Wurst was connected to the Olympia Provisions brand. [13] [7] Olympia Provisions Public House offered German-style beer from a local brewery, Rosenstadt Brewery, and served a home-base for the brewery's beer. [14] [15] [16]

In October 2019, Olympia Provisions closed the public house location in Pine Street Market to focus on their wholesale business. [17] During the COVID-19 pandemic, the restaurant expanded outdoor seating into the parking lot and operated a take-out service. [18] [19] [20]
