In this episode of the Salem Business Journal Podcast, host Jesse Peone chats with local entrepreneur Stephanie Bobb about the launch of her brand-new spot, Ollie’s Wine and Whiskey, located at 207 E Main Street in Silverton, Oregon.
Formerly known as Irish, this reinvented wine and whiskey bar features:
- Small plates
- A fun, dog-themed specialty drink menu inspired by her pups — Ollie, Bucky, Yeti & Juke
- “Wine & Wag Wednesdays” — a dog-friendly experience with outdoor seating and water bowls
Stephanie, who also owns Northwest Event Producers, shares how her background in event planning helped shape this welcoming and creative concept. She opens up about the whirlwind journey of taking over the space, why naming the bar after Ollie means so much to her, and how the local community has shown resilience through events like the wildfires and COVID-19.
