Marlene Taylor and bartender Dennis Kinsey are ready to serve classic cocktails, wine and beer, along with artisan cheeses, gourmet macaroni and cheese and pulled pork sliders, at the Birch Street Uptown Lounge. The new business, owned by Taylor and her husband Kevin (not pictured), features historical photos of the Camas-Washougal area and music by Frank Sinatra, Glenn Miller and Tony Bennett. The lounge, located in downtown Camas, will be open New Year's Eve, from 4 p.m. to 2 a.m.

A new business has a 1920s look and a Frank Sinatra vibe. Diners at the Birch Street Uptown Lounge are likely to hear the stylings of “Ol’ Blue Eyes,” as well as songs performed by Tony Bennett, Glenn Miller and Tom Jones.

The Uptown Lounge opened Dec. 3, in downtown Camas, after a four-month renovation project in the space previously occupied by La Reve Boutique. The new business is located in the historic Clara Street Building, which was built in 1928.
