• Laurelwood Golf Course opened its new restaurant, Laurelwood Bar and Grill, earlier this summer, and now it’s serving up cocktails, thanks to its newly acquired liquor license. The open-to-the-public restaurant is decked out with six new big-screen televisions in preparation for the upcoming football season, and it’s also home to the iconic tables and chairs that once bedecked the old Oregon Electric Station, repurposed to fit Laurelwood’s antique-chic look. “It’s a historical building that now has the historical furniture to go with it,” manager Chris Erben says.

• We saw on Craigslist that Portland-area restaurant Killer Burger is planning to expand, including a branch in Eugene. The burger-and-fries joint serves up monster burgers, like its extravagant “Barnyard” burger with bacon, egg, ham and house-made sauce. It also offers a garden patty option for vegetarians. See its Facebook page for more updates.
