Taproot Lounge and Cafe (Salem, Oregon, U.S.A.)

May 29, 2022

Taproot Lounge and Cafe in downtown Salem at 356 State Street, Salem,  Oregon, U.S.A.  www.taprootloungeandcafe.com. A great find and covers a lot, as it is a coffee shop in front and bar in the back. Sidewalk seating and and numerous tables and chairs inside in the front. Beer, wine and hard liquor served. 12 beer on tap. Happy hour is 3-6 PM and 9-midnight, with $1.00 off Pints, well drinks and tall boys. There are also food specials.   They have a beautiful curved sit-up bar in front made of what looks like split Douglas Fir. This is for coffee and pastries. Towards the back is a beautiful long sit-up bar that also looks like it is made of a split Douglas Fir and seats 15. In the back is a very comfortable area with big couches and split wood tables.  Along the wall is a full sized 22 foot long shuffleboard.  We had a great time playing shuffleboard, it was fast and had a few dips and curves. They serve healthy smoothies in the front and regular booze drinks in back. We did not eat here so can't talk about the food. They are open 8 am daily except when closed every Tursday. They stay open to mostly midnight.  We had a great time and would definitely like to come back again. Something for everyone!!
