neighborhood. The Division Street location was the first OP Wurst located in a stand-alone building. This third location was located in a building that formerly housed Honky Tonk Taco, an unrelated taco shop started by Olympia Provisions owners Tilden, Schwartz, and Gaston, that closed after being open for only three months. The location has an outdoor patio, which the bar-restaurant frequently uses to host events such as Oktoberfest, and in the winter hosts a Christmas tree lot. It became known as Alpenrausch.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, the restaurant expanded outdoor seating into the parking lot and operated a take-out service.
