**Update: OregonLive has a video of Virginia Cafe’s Barstool Crawl. Click here to view it.
The time has come. I was there on Thursday to view the VC one last time at its historic location. As I walked up to take in the sight, workers were moving many of the final pieces out of the current/old location.
Monday brings the final day that you too can enjoy this piece of Portland history. Message from Leah, General Manager of the Virginia Cafe:
The time has finally come to say adieu to Park Avenue on Monday, February 25th around 4pm. We will be moving up to 10th avenue via a bar stool crawl up Yamhill then left on 10th to our new home at 820 SW 10th avenue. We have had an amazing 86 years on Park Avenue, and we are sad to say good-bye, but this old lady is only just getting started for the next 86 years.
We would love to see all of you help us christen the New Virginia Cafe, so come on down to Park Avenue on Monday and be part of our future.
Oh by the way, Marsha Matthews of the Oregon Historical Society was instrumental in us being a part of Portland’s past revisited. The Oregon Historical Society is coming in this Tuesday to take one of our remaining booths and VC glass to be put on display at the Historical Society. It is a very proud day indeed.
Until Monday:
725 SW Park Ave
Portland, OR 97205
