Step into a rare Pacific Northwest treasure: The Oasis Tavern — fondly known as “The O” — a historic saloon perched near the Columbia River in charming Skamokawa, WA. Rich with rustic, nostalgic character and deep community roots, this beloved venue is a turn-key opportunity with immediate income and clear upside as a full-service restaurant and destination bar.
Location that draws: Positioned along the Columbia River with Marina access minutes away down the road, The O sits within easy reach of the Pacific Ocean, Astoria and Portland, OR — perfect for road-trippers, anglers, and coastal tourists. The river setting offers postcard views and a steady flow of visitors drawn to the water and local charm.
A warm, authentic gathering place:  Inside, the saloon retains its historic soul — weathered wood, a welcoming bar, and an atmosphere that feels like home. Locals gather here every Saturday night for live music, a tradition that delivers reliable foot traffic and lively energy. The existing patron base and reputation as a friendly community hub make growth effortless for a new owner.
Built for hospitality:  The property features a commercial-grade kitchen ready to support expanded menu offerings and full restaurant service. A spacious indoor bar and dining area accommodate casual evenings and private events alike. Outside, a fenced entertainment space is thoughtfully arranged with a raised stage for performances, a central firepit, and abundant seating — an ideal setup for intimate concerts, personal gatherings and community events.
Living above the Action:  The fully renovated 1-bedroom apartment upstairs is a highlight. Thoughtfully completed to modern standards, it provides comfortable living space with privacy from the Tavern below. The balcony/window views frame the Columbia River and offer a parade of freighters and fishing boats — currently operating successfully as an Airbnb.

•	Expand restaurant service to full daily hours with a refined menu highlighting regional seafood and Pacific Northwest fare.
