"The newly opened downtown bar takes its name from the oldest of the Ents, the tree giants from The Lord of the Rings. Tolkien fans won’t find much else of Middle Earth in this offshoot of a Corvallis taproom, but hobbits would approve of its 36 taps offering beer, mead, cider, and root beer, as well as a bar snack menu with plenty of cheese dishes. Plus, the midcentury couches and armchairs are comfy enough to accommodate a lengthy Tolkien reading." - April Choi
