Cocktail aficionado Kevin Taylor recently sold Birch Street Uptown Lounge to the bar’s manager, Joe Corbett. Taylor opened his dimly lit, rose-strewn cocktail palace in 2010, pouring his love of cocktails into a place not known for late-night festivities — downtown Camas.

At that time, Taylor was a battalion chief for the Longview Fire Department.
