Wedged in that commerce-dense stretch of Rainier that functions as Columbia City’s de facto downtown, Columbia City Ale House is a ridiculously lovable brew pub with tons of beers (local and otherwise) and good Southern-influenced bar food. To wit: the C.C.A.H.'s celebrated tuna melt. What makes this melt special: roasted green chile, featured prominently enough to earn top billing and imbuing the sandwich with a spicy kick that works miracles in offsetting the inherent iffiness of the whole fish-in-warm-mayonnaise thing. It’s served with your choice of Tim’s chips or astonishingly good potato salad spiked with pickled vegetables.
