I am just saying Hillary is the BEST bartender. She always has the best disposition and goes out of her way to make everyone feel welcome. The beer is epic and the food is great. Highly suggest hitting up this place.

What a great spot!We stayed the night here because this business is in the Harvest Host program and allowed us to park our travel van in their lot.We grabbed a few beers and found out that it was bingo night so we stayed and played. We didn't win but we had a good time.It's a very big facility with seating inside and outside and they have a food truck on premise all the time for food.The girl behind the bar was great! Fantastic service and she ran the bingo! The bathroom is small (just big enough to sit on the toilet) and has pictures of various dogs pooping. I think it just adds to the quirky character of this place.Good beer, great service, an overall amazing host!

Nice people. Relaxed and super chill. Totally unique bar and space. You'll feel like you're hanging out with that rich uncle of yours', you know the one that has the big huge barn with all the crazy old eccentric s*** in it. All in great condition. Totally cool. Easy and tasty bar eats are very fair prices. All in all this place is completely unique. In addition to the fact that they brew delicious beer and distill awesome spirits they are really nice and have a really cool space.

We went here for dinner and drinks when stopping in Albany for a night on our road trip! We were pleasantly surprised! The staff was very friendly and helpful and the atmosphere was laid back but really cool. They had shuffleboard tables and plenty of seating. The whole place is dog friendly too! They also had a tent outside with seating but we sat inside since it was very chilly the day we went. The drinks were good and reasonably priced- they're a brewery and distillery so they have a ton of options. They have a small food truck outside and the food was amazing! They had a good amount of options and the portion sizes were big! The prices were on the cheaper end for the quality and amount you get! We definitely enjoyed our stop here!

Deluxe Brewing and Sinister Distiller was a hidden gem! We stayed here as a "Harvest Host", where we park our RV overnight and eat at the restaurant. The harvest host portion was easy to get into, even with our 40 ft. Rig. As far as the food goes, WOW! Don't be fooled by the small food truck that they cook in, because the food was absolutely delicious! The double cheeseburger with secret sauce was juicy, mouthwatering goodness! The fries were crunchy! Pretzel was also crunchy, with solid beer cheese. The beer is definitely noticeable in the flavor, though. The cheese quesadilla was also a big hit. My wife got the cider, which she enjoyed. I had myself double old fashion's, which I will say was definitely a little light on the pour, but the price made up for it (not very expensive). The whiskey itself was pretty good, with a nice aroma to it. The bartender was very friendly. You do go to the bar to order drinks, but they whip out drinks pretty quickly. Starting a tab is easy, but they do keep your card, so just don't forget that on the way out. They do have 2 massive shuffle board tables, which were covered when we came in, but all you have to do is ask, and the manager will set it up, turn on the lights, and even LOAD your table up to with brand new salt for the table--I've been to a lot of bars, and I've never seen a more helpful, awesome experience of a bar setting up a shuffle board table like that. The manager didn't do this for us, we just observed him do it for another patron, but way to go! That was awesome. The place was pretty busy on a Friday night, but there were a few tables available. The crowd was fun and loud, with sports on big TV's. This was a hidden gem and needs to be sought out if you're in the area! Great job Deluxe Brewery!

Came for a special event with Altrusa. Nice unique space with good beer and cocktails. Friendly approachable owner chatted with us about his brewery and distillery, which made our night even more enjoyable. Thank you!

Great fresh takes on staples, made with highest quality local ingredients. Deluxe’s new cart takes this tasting room to a whole new level. Everyone will find something to love on this menu, and the specials keep anyone from boredom. Kids and pets are welcome inside and out. Parking is never a problem, but Deluxe is best approached from the Dave Clark trail along the Willamette.

Stellar beer and spirits in the most relaxed atmosphere imaginable. Food is now available (Tues-Sat) from a permanent truck outside and is awesome. Short and simple menu has all of the hits and vegetarian options. Food is far better than it has to be, with an especially unique chili dog from local Pepper Tree sausages. 'Diabolic' is their newish double IPA that is sharp and hoppy and unexpectedly smooth for a double. Diabolic indeed. Hoppy Days is a go-to and De Lux Especial is that perfectly refreshing lager when days get warmer. Family and dog friendly inside and out, and parking is never a problem.

Fun spot!! Great beer and friendly staff. Easy place to bring a dog or kids and play board games and sample beer etc!!
My favorite distillery and brewery of all time! The chill vibe and relaxed atmosphere matched my soul! We had a great night, first with a tasting of the spirits then hanging out with some awesome regulars, amazing bartender and new visitors. Deluxe Brewing is also Sinister Distillery so make sure you sample those too, they're spot on and lots to taste. The Pineapple Rum won our vote for the night but I'll be returning soon for that gin, it's got a very unique and full flavor. Highly recommended and we'll definitely be returning!

Honestly, just here to say I walked in the other day, not one person was masked, including the bartender.

Decent beer, but truly mediocre vibes. Don't stress about the flip flop crew, they talk a tough game but deliver the softest slaps.

Five stars is a rarity for me. Five star requires excellence in beer, atmosphere, service, and a knowledgeable beer-tender. Deluxe got top marks from me in all these categories. My only disappointment, after looking in the map, was that I thought it would be right on the river. It's not. No big loss. The inside is decorated with all sorts of interesting artifacts. The outside patio is peaceful and pleasant. I know we all differ in our tastes for beer, but I found all 8 beers in my flight to be drinkable, with a few I thought were excellent. Service also was perfect. I wish I remembered the lady's name. She was very enthusiastic and attentive. She came out to check on us several times, though she was working alone and it is a long walk from the bar to the patio... We also went home with the Apple whiskey!! EXCELLENT!!!

Great place to chill by the river. The drinks are great and they have several outdoor fire pits as well as a tented area. Not fancy, just a pleasant neighborhood brewery in a cool warehouse. Nice place to stop for a beer after walking or biking on the river path.
