Western Pacific Brewing & Dining
Oroville, California, USA · Est. 2009
Tally's Take
Why this matters
Oroville's former Depot restaurant became Western Pacific Brewing & Dining, described in the Chico News & Review's archive in August 2009. Later brewery databases classify it as out of business, but not one of them gives a date — so the archive does not give one either. A closure that everybody agrees happened and nobody wrote down is far more common than it ought to be.
