Our Story

Clancy’s owner Bob Bower started the business with his lifelong friend and business namesake, Pat Clancy, in November of 1987. After nearly four months of paint, plaster, and sweat the doors were opened on St. Patricks day in 1988. Bob Bower, a native Oregonian, (Benson Poly-tech, P.S.U. alumni) and wife Jeannie (passed Easter of 07') took over all operations in November of 88′.


Jeannie Bower, whose comfort food recipes have remained the backbone of the menu for over 36 years, was classicly trained by her mother, the Chef D’ Parte at the original St. Vincents hospital. Bob & Jeannie’s son Allen, who started with Clancy's in 1991, has continuously refined and expanded on his family’s food and beverage offerings.

​

Bob Bower, working with local participants, personally developed and implemented his concept for the very first Cruisin' Sherwood Car show. Ensuring its longevity by managing its growth throughout the first five years with help from Rod Runners West of Tigard, and fellow old town merchants.  20 years later Cruisin' Sherwood is still the largest single event in the old town area. Clancy's has and will continue to be a longtime supporter of Sherwood athletics.
