Oregon City Municipal Elevator

The Oregon City Municipal Elevator has been in operation for over 100 years. The original elevator was constructed in 1915. It was powered by hydrolics and took about three minutes to reach the top of the bluff. In 1925 it was converted to electric power that was being generated by the water flowing from the Willamette river. The current elevator was completed in May of 1955. It was included on the National Register of Historic places in May of 2014. The elevator is owned by Oregon City and staffed by the Downtown Oregon City Association. Current hours are Monday-Saturday 7am-7pm and Sunday 10am-7pm.

This is a cool place to visit. Lots of history here. Also you can park either at the top or the bottom, and explore the historic upper part or the historic downtown part at the bottom. It doesn't cost money. Definitely look up the pictures and history online before you visit!

Arch Bridge Tap House

Reviewed By oregonskibum22 - Beaverton, United States

Simply put - this is the best taphouse not only in Oregon City, but the greater Portland area. They don't have the largest number of taps - but the owners do an excellent job of curating a nice variety of beers. There's always a couple really good IPAs on tap, a big burly bourbon barrel aged beers, a couple lighter beers, and at least two sours (usually a de Garde too). They also serve at least two ciders and a couple wines. Their bottles available to go are also well above average. Finally, the environment is clean, friendly, and comfortable for both a quick stop or an extended stay. They don't have any food, but there are 5+ places to get food within a two minute walk, several that will deliver.
