Pair that choice cut with the perfect wine — Curtis is always adding new options, having quadrupled the store’s wine selection since taking over last fall — or choose from a wide variety of craft beers, including suds from four local ULTRLIFE NYE Phone: (541) 264-8372 | Location: 715 NW Beach Dr, Newport, OR
