What a great opportunity to donate and collect items for the DV with the family justice center while enjoying some great company, making new friends and catching up with old friends. We had the chance to sip on some really great wines and enjoy some tasty small bites. If you haven't checked out this little local winery in Downtown Hillsboro you need to go!!! They have some really great snacky food options as well as a reservation only night that has a full diner. Friday night bites is a cool event in the summer too. Thank you Maxine at DAnu wines for hosting Women in Business this evening.

A flight of 6 for $20 was a steal plus add in that your glass or bottle purchase afterward is 50% off! Also they come in the cutest glass beakers! Naturally we brought home 2 bottles!

The decor was adorable. Even on a rainy (then sunny) evening, we stayed dry and perfectly warm. The food they catered (spam musubi, rice, kaluha pork, mac salad, and coleslaw) was amazing. Everyone in our group thought they catered out to a Hawaiian restaurant, but it was all them. My mouth is watering just thinking about the food! I can't stress enough how amazing this place is. Their sister bar/restaurant, Urban Decanter in Forest Grove, is also amazing. Jill really knows what she's doing and only hires the best staff. Support this lovely restaurant!

They have a few TVs for watching sports and have good indoor and outdoor seating options. Bathrooms are clean and staff are polite.

Plan to grab a bite down the street at either Backwoods or Collective Market before or after. Cheers!

Located in a pretty busy area, there are other bars and restaurants nearby for you to possibly check out before/after coming by here. Walking into the wine bar, you're met with a large display of wines for you to shop and maybe buy a couple for either yourself or friends/family. After that, there's the seating for the wine bar. The place is very cozy and warm. The menu here offers a selection of amazing wines as well as appetizers and entrees for you to eat, if you wish. I love getting the flight here to try multiple wines. Service here is super kind and pretty quick. Absolutely recommend!

[Format & Space] Seat yourself*, review the menus at the table, order at the bar, they bring your food and drinks to your table. *Plenty of tables, some with long benches, others with chairs on the inside. There's also a large patio. This is a welcome and safe space. [Drinks] Right up front, I'm going to tell you I'm a lightweight. I'm allergic to alcohol, so I don't drink often. Here's one of the things I love about The 649. They have a fantastic selection of mocktails that are created with the same creativity, flair, and intention as a "leaded" cocktail. I appreciate that I get to participate and not be stuck with a lemonade, zero alcohol beer, or wine. So, HUZZAH for creating an inviting space for a non-drinker! There *are* times when I'm willing to risk the lobster-bod, itchiness, and stuffy nose and there are plenty of cocktails from which to choose! [Food] There's a nice selection of sharable plates and mains. I've personally tried the flatbread pizza, Bavarian pretzel, Cubano, and Brisket Press, all of which were delish. [Service] The service has always been fabulous. The staff are welcoming, friendly, and helpful. [Activities] There are a few TVs around the bar with sports. It was a great place to catch some of the World Cup games. Additionally, there are several games that you can borrow and play, which is a lot of fun. [Location] Tucked in a busy shopping center with Safeway as an anchor. Parking hasn't been super problematic yet, but based on one of the other reviewers (Ron R - loved your formatting too, so I borrowed it until we get rich text formatting or emojis!) I can see where it could be a challenge.

This I'd say, is a fantastic little hang out! Here's the 411 on The 649:…read more * Parking Situation * Although the location of The 649 is just "where the F" (eye-roller). Because it's somewhat hidden in the corner of a Safeway shopping plaza. Look for the Baskin Robbins or Wells Fargo ATM and your find it. Like other reviews, when busy, parking can be a bit horrendous. But in hindsight, I'm not gonna reduce a star just because of location. * Bar Food Menu & Dining * Their menu starts with shareable bites, like a pretzel, tacos, quesadilla, loaded nachos, and even a charcuterie plate. Slightly larger dishes would be their Cubano and Brisket Press sandwiches. They even have a few choices for soup and salads, and a couple of dessert items listed. Don't forget to check the chalkboard next to the bar for specialty dishes and drinks. As for dining-in, they've got sturdy wooden tables that can accommodate 4-8 people. Bar stools by the windows, and a fairly large outside patio area. And with the times I've been here, I've never seen a dirty table. Very well maintained (two thumbs up). A few TV monitors showing the game, but its not like a noisy sportsbar. * Drinks & Services* You've got your choice of craft beers that rotate like a standard tap room. They also have tasty seasonal cocktails, but their normal everyday cocktails are just as good. And if you're gonna have a charcuterie board, then you've got to offer a wine list option right? Well they got that too! One last thing to mention, they've got some top-shelf bourbon and whiskey. The 649 is a bar that offers it all! Service has also been welcoming and top-notch. I recall only been served by Rich, Steven, and Crystal, but they always seem to craft up some lovely cocktails. Or deliver some clean tasting everyday type of bar food as well. * Last Call * Normally in my reviews, I'd list every item that I've tried, with price included. But The 649 is such a unique type of bar experience that I feel you should try for yourself; To me, their offerings are reasonably priced. Dining in is nothing fancy, but service is excellent. It's a great hangout for a business date, of even after a first date. I've got nothing but love for local support!

The humans really knew what they were doing with all that wood. Smooth beams, sturdy structure--honestly, I had to resist the professional urge to take a nibble. (Five stars for temptation alone.) Inside? Cozy! Warm! Not a single predator, unless you count that one guy with the impressive beard. The ambiance feels like a riverside burrow, but with more chairs and fewer siblings crowding the entrance. Plus, the humans seem delighted to bring you treats--no gathering or dam repairs required. Overall, if you're a beaver looking for a charming place to relax, observe humans in their natural habitat, and enjoy the scent of delicious food, the Little White Shed is your spot. Highly recommend. Would chew again.

They were crispy but overly oily, and the creamy mayo-based sauce didn't pair well with them. This Appetizer took too long to come out. For the Ahi Poke Tuna - Glad I asked for the sauces on the side. Even with three sauce options, none really worked with the dish. One dark sauce tasted almost like molasses, overly sweet and not something you expect with poke. The chili sauce was also too sweet, while the soy-based sauce tasted excessively salty (fish sauce maybe added in it). I added malt vinegar myself just to balance the flavor. Also, it would be nice if the fish was seasoned with salt(or something) to alter the fishy flavor. The Fish & Chips was average at best. The batter was uneven, with some parts way too thick, though the fries were okay. Experience was not horrible, server was nice and ambiance inside is pretty. I just think the kitchen needs real work.

But the server never went thru the wines and explain the origin or the history of the wines.

There are so many wineries in the Willamette region, and we will continue to taste at many others. But I will not recommend Ardiri as one for new visitors to visit.
