The New Old Lompoc's Last Day

We never frequented the New Old Lompoc on a regular basis, but when we read that it was closing to make way for a mixed-use building we decided it was only right to say goodbye properly. We end up there yesterday afternoon to do just that, which was the final day the doors would be open. It will be returning to the same location in 2013, but I can’t imagine it will have the same eclectic atmosphere that makes you feel like you’re not anywhere near NW 23rd. The New Old Lompoc has quite the history, which makes you love it even more. John Foyston of the Oregonian’s ‘The Beer Here’ sums up the New Old Lompoc’s past nicely: http://blog.oregonlive.com/thebeerhere/2012/04/last_call_at_the_new_old_lompo.html

I leave you with photos from the New Old Lompoc's final day.
