About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a regular asked the barista, ‘Why does that old lady always sit in front of Orenco Salon Bar?’ The barista shrugged and replied, ‘She says she’s waiting for her lucky day.’ A few days later, a delivery driver overheard her saying, ‘Today is my lucky day—my haircut is finally here!’ Everyone burst out laughing, realizing she’d been sitting there for weeks, waiting for someone else’s appointment.
2. At dawn, when most people were still dreaming, an elderly man started arriving at Orenco Salon Bar every day. He’d quietly take a seat in the corner and order the same coffee, never speaking to anyone. One morning, while dozing off with his paper, he accidentally spilled coffee on it—and woke up to find himself surrounded by curious faces. Turns out, everyone had been watching him sleep for hours. From then on, the old man became known as ‘the sleeping regular,’ and Orenco Salon Bar added ‘morning naps included’ to their unique selling points.
3. In the early hours of one foggy morning, a delivery driver pulled up outside Orenco Salon Bar and noticed something peculiar on the loading dock—a large cardboard box wrapped in brown paper, with no return address or label. The delivery driver opened it carefully, only to discover a pile of old magazines from the 90s. Confused, he shrugged and took them inside as a joke gift for the owner. Later that day, a regular customer asked if they had any new magazine subscriptions available—causing everyone to burst out laughing.
4. At closing time, a regular asked the bartender, ‘Who’s been leaving those strange messages in the bathroom?’ The bartender shrugged and said, ‘No idea, but I found them pretty funny.’ The regular laughed and added, ‘Maybe it’s that new delivery driver who keeps doodling on the menus.’ As they both chuckled, an old lady approached the counter, asking for her usual haircut—completely oblivious to any mysterious notes.
