The Restaurant at Jupiter Hotel

"Created in 2004 from a California-style, mid-century modern motor lodge, the Jupiter is what the hotel business calls an “active property”—meaning it caters primarily to a younger crowd (21–45), has an adjoining bar-lounge-restaurant-concert venue (Doug Fir) with a busy outdoor patio that stays open until 2:30am, and lets guests have parties as long as they don’t get out of hand"

"The on-site Doug Fir Restaurant and Lounge, open until 2:30am, is one of the city’s top music venues"

"The Central East Side neighborhood surrounding the hotel has exploded with cool restaurants and shops in recent years, and downtown is just a 10-minute walk across the Burnside Bridge"

"In the upstairs restaurant, walls of shale, bulbous silver lighting, and Douglas fir logs provide a sleek backdrop for spot-on pub classics and best-avoided attempts at haute cuisine"

"Of note is the Doug Fir Restaurant & Lounge; check out a local or national band in the basement bar, stumble back to your room, sleep late and then soak up that hangover with a Logger Breakfast or Columbia Scramble"

"You're also in the center of action with a number of vintage stores, coffee shops, and amazing restaurants (including the James Beard Award–winning Le Pigeon and happy hour hot spot Biwa) around the corner or across the street"
