Good luck picking a favorite. We certainly couldn’t. 🤤

📍 Union Tavern
⏰ 11am–9pm daily | Sundays close at 8pm

Your favorite local neighborhood pub knows how to show you a good time. Between happy hour steals and power hour deals, they’ve got great food, better drinks, and that everyone’s-a-regular kind of vibe. 🍻

Come hungry, stay awhile, and maybe order a little bit of everything. 😉

We are SO excited to reveal our 2026 Summer on the Ave Artist Poster! 🌊🐠🐬🧜‍♀️🌅

“SERENADE IN THE SEA” ARTWORK BY MELISSA COLE, 2024

Melissa Cole was born in Oregon and raised in London, Hong Kong, and India. She graduated from Oregon State University with a degree in Zoology, worked in the Dominican Republic as a Peace Corps volunteer in reforestation and environmental education, and spent time as a naturalist guide in Mexico and the Caribbean. It is from these remarkable encounters that she derives much of the inspiration for her vividly colored, heavily textured and patterned paintings and sculptures.

She has written over 30 children’s natural history books and travels extensively with her marine photographer husband. Like much of her family, she has always created art but has spent the last 18 years fully devoted to it.

Melissa has developed her skills set in a variety of mediums by working one on one with artists experienced in their field. She is strongly influenced by folkloric designs and global patterns found in ceramics, batiks, sculptures and mosaics, which she sees in her travels abroad.

Her artwork strives to bring themes of science and the natural realm to urban settings, encouraging people to reconnect with nature. Her creations are showcased in national galleries, corporate and private collections, aquariums, hospitals, schools and numerous public places.
