The Forge

The Forge Salem's newest destination for retail, dining, & style.

05/27/2026

This week, we're back to our regular scheduled programming.

But first,
Thank you.

What a grand opening.
The doors opened. The building came alive.
You showed up. You wandered. You stayed longer than you planned.

This was just the beginning.

The Forge should be on your regular rotation.

For the slow mornings
For the after-work glass
For the dumplings, the matcha, the ice cream, the events, the shopping!!
For the shops and businesses you'll keep finding new reasons to come back to.

We'll be here.

You've maybe already wandered in.

Grabbed a coffee. Booked an appointment. Peeked around.
Tomorrow's the real introduction.

Every space. Every door. All of it.
We can't wait to celebrate with you tomorrow

Saturday, May 16.
285 Liberty St NE.

Come see what's been taking shape.

A year of building, dreaming, and growing—together. 🔨✨
The Forge is what it is because of the people who believed in it from day one. Swipe through for a few heartfelt thank-yous to the businesses, creatives, community, and behind-the-scenes teams who helped shape this space into something we're so proud of.
To our early tenants who took a leap of faith. To the Salem community who showed up, connected, and made this place their own. To every designer, builder, manager, and dreamer who poured into this project—thank you.

See you tomorrow for our Grand Opening! 🎉
☀️ Open House | 11 AM – 6 PM — brand activations + specials all day
🌙 The Night Cap | 6 PM – 12 AM — let's celebrate together
Here's to what we've built, and everything still to come. 🤍

Mother's Day weekend at The Forge.
The mamas are getting taken care of this weekend.

Two grand openings happening. A flower bar. Mimosas. A permanent jewelry event. Mama-and-me minis at Noira. Brunch tables, treatment chairs, and so many small ways to make her feel seen.

Our tenants know how to show up for the mamas.

Slide through for everything happening, pick what feels like her, or just walk in and let the building do the rest.

Volume one of five, let us show you around...

We didn't set out to build a building. We set out to build a reason. A reason to come back downtown. A reason to leave the house on a Saturday. A reason to meet someone in person.

Ten days until you see what we mean.

Not only do we have our own grand opening coming up soon, this weekend two of our tenants are celebrating grand openings of their own.

Neon Republic Salon is celebrating their grand reopening in Suite 218 from 4 pm to 7 pm. Champagne, desserts, tiny tattoos, giveaways, and a dress code worth showing up for.

Root Cellar Market is opening their doors for the first time, 11 am to 7 pm. Stop in, see the space, say hi, and enter to win a curated basket of local goods.

Make a day of it. Two openings, one building, and a whole lot in between to land on.

The thing about The Forge is… you can show up without a plan. There's always something to land on. Always somewhere to step into.

We made a list.

May feels like a turning point, doesn't it?

The kind of month where the patio chairs come back out, the calendar fills up for the right reasons, and the version of you who hibernated through February quietly gets retired.

Downtown Salem is becoming something. If the picture in your head is from a year ago, it's time to update it.

Saturday, May 16. The Open House at 11. The Night Cap at Cellar 54. You're invited to both.

See you out there.
