OUR STORY

Hi, I’m Tina, owner, creator, bartender, plant collector, and chief crow wrangler at Crow & Cart.

Crow & Cart opened in 2022 from a love of two things, bringing people together and creating beautiful spaces for them to gather.​

​

As a seventh-generation Oregonian, I wanted the bar to feel rooted here, natural, a little industrial, a little unexpected, and full of stories. With the help of my husband, family, and friends, we spent years transforming this little corner of the Whiteaker into the space you see today. Much of it was built, found, restored, planted, or dreamed up by us.

​

Behind the bar, we approach drinks the same way. We make our own shrubs and syrups, work with local and seasonal ingredients whenever we can, and believe a great drink doesn’t have to contain alcohol. Cocktails, mocktails, local beer, bubbles, we want there to be something good in your glass, whatever you’re drinking.

​​

None of this happens without our amazing staff. They bring their own personalities, talents, humor, and heart to Crow & Cart every day. They’re the ones remembering your favorite drink, welcoming you back, keeping the party moving, and making this place feel like our place, not just mine. I’m incredibly proud of the crew we’ve built and the care they put into making everyone feel welcome.

But the best thing we’ve built here isn’t actually the bar. It’s the community around it.

​

Crow & Cart has become a place for first dates and old friends, dogs on the patio, art walks, drag brunches, fundraisers, celebrations, rainy afternoons, and those “meet me at Crow” kind of nights.

We’re proud to be a woman-owned small business in the Whit, surrounded by other fiercely independent businesses we love supporting.

 

Come grab a drink, bring something delicious from one of our partnering food trucks or eateries, find your favorite corner, and stay awhile.
