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.[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. 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 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.[5] [7] [8] It became known as Alpenrausch.[9]

In May 2018, OP Wurst temporarily closed its bars and rebranded as Olympia Provisions Public House.[10] The new concept serves Apline-themed food based on owner Elias Cairo's apprenticeship in Switzerland.[11] The rebranding took place partially because customers did not recognize that OP Wurst was connected to the Olympia Provisions brand.[11] [12] Olympia Provisions Public House serves German-style beer from a local brewery, Rosenstadt Brewery, and serves a home-base for the brewery's beer.[13] [14] [15]

In October 2019, Olympia Provisions closed the public house location in Pine Street Market to focus on their wholesale business.[16] During the COVID-19 pandemic, the restaurant expanded outdoor seating into the parking lot and operated a take-out service.[17] [18] [19]
