"Planned as a subterranean, more upscale cocktail and whiskey bar within the same building, Whiskey Barrel Lounge will have its own food menu and seating with executive chef Russ Langstadt tweaking a menu focused on Oregon seafood, grass-fed steaks, and casual pub fare; highlights being developed include a seafood platter with grilled spot prawns, albacore ceviche, oysters, and caviar-dotted deviled eggs, and Ami Shannon is particularly excited about steamer clams served in a pilsner-and-chorizo broth with sourdough for dipping; down the line the lounge will also offer its own brunch items like huckleberry pancakes, Benedicts, and an open-faced buttermilk biscuit sandwich topped with citrus-brined fried chicken." - Brooke Jackson-Glidden
