    White Owl Social Club

    Start with a drink at White Owl Social Club. This Buckman neighborhood bar and vegan restaurant is a local favorite. Grab a seat and enjoy the atmosphere while you have an hour to spare before heading downtown.

    Tom McCall Waterfront Park

    Head to Tom McCall Waterfront Park. This wide expanse of green lawns along the downtown waterfront offers scenic views over the Willamette River. Arrive here to watch the sun set toward the WSW.

    Southpark Seafood Grill & Wine Bar

    Walk over to Southpark Seafood Grill & Wine Bar for dinner. Enjoy excellent Mediterranean-Italian fare with a regional seafood twist. The dinner menu is served from 5 PM to 10 PM on weekdays, making it perfect for an evening plan.

Local tip

The walk from White Owl to the waterfront is longer, so use that time to enjoy your first drink. Once you are at the waterfront, you are in the heart of downtown, making Southpark Seafood Grill an easy short walk away.
