Oaks Bottom Public House

Oaks Bottom Public House is named for the Oaks Bottom Wildlife Refuge that runs just west of their location in the heart of Westmoreland. The 163-acre natural wetlands was Portland’s first urban wildlife refuge and is home to more than 125 species of birds, including the Great Blue Heron that is our symbol. The term “Public House” was used in Old England to describe homes that innkeepers, or publicans, who were seeking a warm meal, a cold (but not too cold) pint and possibly a comfy bed. While they don’t offer lodging (and can’t let you snooze in our booths), it is their intent to offer neighbors from near and far good food and good drink in a friendly and relaxed atmosphere. A good public house should be an example of what sociologist Ray Oldenburg calls a “third place”- a friendly, comfortable haven where guests can leave behind the cares of the “first place” (home) and “second place” (work) and enjoy the company of friends while someone else cooks the food and does the dishes.

Hedge House

The Hedge House is truly a community gathering place located in the heart of the Division/Clinton Street Neighborhood. Since opening in December 2003, the Hedge House has been a place for families and friends to gather over a pint of great Lompoc beer and a meal of hearty pub grub. Their menu features great sandwiches, salads, and appetizers. They feature six regular taps of Lompoc beer, along with their seasonals. They’re known for their huge patio and deck outside the 1912 craftsman-style bungalow. On sunny days it seems the entire neighborhood comes down to enjoy the evening.

Fifth Quadrant

The 5th Quadrant is the latest addition to the Lompoc Family. The most northerly of all of the Lompocs, the 5th Quadrant (or 5Q as it is commonly known) is also surprisingly the warmest of all the Lompocs, a benefit not lost on the bald-headed patrons who frequent the establishment.
