A Pizza Hideaway Blue Ox Bar

Once you find the Blue Ox Bar, you’ll find it hard to leave. Cozily tucked away just behind the main lobby, it’s a favorite hole-in-the-wall watering hole steeped in history. In 1937, when the lodge was nearly finished, someone noticed there was no bar. Improvising architects altered a wood storage area into the Blue Ox Bar. Restored glass mosaic murals illustrate the well-known Paul Bunyan—and his beloved blue ox, Babe—legend. The bar menu features pizza and other delectable snacks, Mt. Hood Brewing Co. microbrews, and seasonal cocktail offerings.
