Oakshire to close all 3 taprooms and brewery after hardships
Oakshire Brewing will be closing all three of its Oregon taprooms and brewery after a tumultuous month of closing and reopening its Springfield pub. In an Instagram post on Sept. 25, Oakshire Brewing announced the "painful" news, citing rising costs, increasing competition, lasting financial damage from the COVID-19 pandemic and changing habits in customers. "We worked hard to adapt, but we can’t continue operating Oakshire as a whole," the post, signed by owner Jeff Althouse, said. "To everyone who brewed our beer, served our community, worked together, or gathered in our spaces: thank you. You made Oakshire great." First founded in 2006, Althouse previously told The Register-Guard that he found early success with the rise of craft beer popularity in the early 2010s. He opened Oakshire Public House location in Eugene in 2013, moving the brewery's headquarters to the 11,000-square-foot building in the Whiteaker neighborhood. It went on to open Oakshire Beer Hall in northeast Portland in 2019 and Oakshire Commons in Springfield in 2025 . Since coming onto the scene 20 years ago, Oakshire has made a big splash, both locally and statewide. Its ales and lagers can be found in grocery stores and taprooms across the Pacific Northwest.

Longtime Eugene foodie staple temporarily closing for renovations
Chao Pra Ya Thai Cuisine is getting a refresh and plans to temporarily close for the work. The Thai restaurant at 580 Adams St. in Eugene will close Sept. 30 for a remodel, according to a social media post from the restaurant. Building permits filed with the City of Eugene indicate an addition to the building that will increase its size by about 550 square feet. The social media post teased the changes will bring a new look, better experiences and a full bar to the eatery. Chao Pra Ya has been serving authentic Thai noodle, rice and curry dishes since 2002, when Bangon and Vivat Kaokept opened the business, according to The Register-Guard’s previous reporting. Kaokept’s son, Arna Khongkhaning, supported operations at Chao Pra Ya before opening Ta Ra Rin in 2004. Both businesses have remained steadfast staples in Eugene’s Thai food scene since. Chao Pra Ya plans to close from Oct. 1 to early January 2027 for the restaurant’s remodel. Hannarose McGuinness is The Register-Guard’s growth and development reporter.

Eugene gourmet burger chefs open new fine dining restaurant downtown
Frothing up lemon foam and cutting drink menus were on the list of last-minute preparations before Seasoned opened to friends and family in early September. Owners Garrett and Felicia Kirsch flitted around the small dining and backroom spaces in their new downtown Eugene brick and mortar, where they got the keys to the former Bo & Vine storefront in a whirlwind nine-day turnaround. The couple jumped at the opportunity to elevate their culinary offerings in a new space of their own . "(We) have a chance to showcase, the best that we can do, the best of our ability," Felicia said. The Kirsches are backed by a growing support system they've cultivated during their years in Eugene's restaurant scene. They dished out burgers from NorthWest Burgers , their eatery's kitchen in 5th Street Public Market, for nearly a decade. Despite finding success there, they decided to start a new chapter, moving into Claim 52 Brewing in 2025 under their new concept, Seasoned, which the couple had been dreaming up for years. At Claim 52, the Kirches continued building their local following, serving an array of pub food for around 200 seats on the daily and spearheading their weekly Chef's Table,

5 Restaurants in Eugene, Oregon that Serve the Best Tacos You’ll Ever Taste
Eugene, Oregon is a city stitched together by rivers and railways, by murals and moss, by the laughter of students and the quiet wisdom of old-timers who remember when the Saturday Market was just a handful of tents. It’s a place where the Willamette drifts slow and green, where the air smells of fir and fresh coffee, where the streets are alive with cyclists, artists, and dreamers. Eugene’s neighborhoods are a patchwork—Whiteaker’s bohemian pulse, South Hills’ leafy hush, downtown’s bustle and bloom—each with its own flavor, each with its own story.
