GENERAL UPDATES
NEXT ROUND OF MENU ADVANCEMENT
Block 15 Improved Burger!
Our burger is the #1 selling food item at Block 15, so naturally every now and then we take a dive into WHAT on earth we can do to make it better! The advancement team dove in and we decided to “beef” up the patty size (hehe) by 3/4 of an ounce and develop the perfect house made pickle to complement. Sometimes the smallest changes can make the biggest difference. Though minor, we are VERY excited to present the new and improved Block 15 burger with house pickles! ::DROOL::
Tuscan Chicken Sandwich
As part of the advancement team Simon put his efforts into boosting one of our OG sandwiches to be A+++++! In our opinion, he succeeded. By using a full, seasoned sous-vide chicken breast the sandwich is juicier, and more flavorful. Taking it to the next level by also replacing raw onions with balsamic pickled onions and our NEW house baked ciabatta this sandwich is better than ever.
TO GO COCKTAILS COMIN’ IN HOT! 🔥
Starting Friday we will be offering cocktails to go at both locations! Woohoo!
To-go cocktails will still come with garnishes, so FOH’ers please make sure that these get packed in the order when its being put together.
Check out the snazzy labels below, and be on the lookout for pricing info from Goody tomorrow.
2021 CULINARY WEEK!
Every January, the Downtown Association puts on Corvallis Culinary Week and this year we have opted to participate at the Downtown Pub from January 13th to January 31st! With COVID and all the weird times we are in, they have changed it to Culinary “Month.”
Restaurants in the community are to either feature a $10 lunch or breakfast item OR a $15 dinner item! We will be running the latter.

PUB UPDATES
While we are not currently taking reservations at the Downtown Pub, we are taking up to a few names on the waitlist at a time. Please use the Host iPad to do this if you are taking someone's name down.
On Friday we will be adding the Whiskey A Goji and the Jungle Bird--which is a tropical cocktail with aged rum, toasted coconut Aperol, demerara simple syrup (raw sugarcane with a slightly more molassas-y flavor), pineapple and lime juices--to our in-house and to-go cocktail menus.
The plants in the planters still need to be watered (although less often during the winter months). On Sundays, please ensure that each planter gets hit with one pitcher of water (minus the one sitting in front of Caves).
POLICY CORNER
Here are a couple of links to help you track what is going on at a state and county level for COVID cases in Oregon. These tables provided by OHA have been the most accurate and clear representation of data that we have encountered out there. Stay Safe!
