Manifest Brewing expanding to former Starbucks space in downtown Eugene

Manifesting a second location didn’t take long for Eugene’s Manifest Brewing. The downtown brewery, which opened next to Doc’s Pad at 740 Willamette St. in May of last year, is expanding a couple blocks down into the former Starbucks space at 89 W. Broadway in Kesey Square. Starbucks vacated the space earlier this month after five years.

“My first job was at a Starbucks,” said Manifest brewer and co-owner Brandon Woodruff, so “it’s kind of neat” to be moving into the former Starbucks space. It may even be manifest destiny.

The anticipated opening for the Manifest Public House is mid- to late November, Woodruff said. The brewery will retain its existing space for brewing and will offer a completely new menu of fast-casual brunch and dinner food in the Kesey Square space, as well as packaged beer to go and a full bar with wine and rotating cocktails.
