Main Event, Baker City, OR
Baker City is trying. They have a very nice heritage downtown and is somewhat of an oasis in the wasteland of Eastern Oregon. Too bad for Baker City that no one goes to Eastern Oregon, except a few truckers and the farmers/ranchers still working the dry, scrubby hills.
Nothing special decor-wise, the Main Event is set up in the classic diner/bar style – open kitchen and eating counter on one side, long bar on the other, pool and tables at the back. The drinks were stiff, the conversation lively, and the fish sandwich the BEST I’ve ever had. Soft roll, crispy battered fish, pickley tartar…plain old delicious.
Throw on some Red Sovine, order up some dinner, and join the chat while keeping an eye on the game – no better way to spend the evening.
