When you’re planning a trip to the Oregon Shakespeare Festival in Ashland, you’ll probably want to start your evening with a delicious meal before the play. Why eat just anywhere, when you can enjoy a Renaissance experience at Oberon’s Three Penny Tavern? Check it out:

Step back in time to the Renaissance when you visit Oberon’s Three Penny Tavern. It got its name from Shakespeare’s Play “A Midsummer Night’s Dream,” in which Oberon is the king of the fairies.
