I began working in the business of bringing good food and great times to people in the mid 80’s for a restaurant in Ashland, Oregon. I soon fell in love with this work. Since then I have played many roles on many restaurant stages and have taken little bits from each to create my own. I have always approached the restaurant business with a serious sense of humor and a pride in learning something new everyday. My guests become my friends. My Staff and I have put our hearts and souls into bringing you a great place to eat, drink and be merry. The name “hobnob” was chosen for it’s base meaning; give and take, to give a drink to someone or take one. Also, it means to mingle with folks you may or may not ordinarily mix with. I believe that these social and business connections are very important. I have enjoyed the opportunity to meet so many wonderful people in this neighborhood and from around Portland and the great beyond.
