“Our first time here and the beer was good! The food ops are endless with all the food carts! The place was hopping for a Friday night and it is family and pet friendly. I couldn’t believe how many kids there were!“

“Great beer and the food carts are awesome!!“

“Our running group, Eastwind run from here from time to time. When we end our run it’s time to drink and eat. Great beer and cider selection and they let you bring in food from local places around Gresham. Two thumbs up and a hip bump.“

“Best Taco Tuesday deal in the Portland area. The Pork tacos are out of this world good! The rotating, home made salsa is a great idea. Way better than out of the jar salsa served at other places.
Also love the beer varieties. There are multiple dark beers and IPA's on tap along with red, lager, cider, and others.
Keep up the good work!“

“We attended McMenamin’s Wassail Cider fest in January so we wanted to try more of their ciders and this is what popped up online. We got the cider flight and the red wine flight, both of which were really good. However, the wine flight they gave us 2 of the 4 glasses, then told us to come back to the back for the other 2, which was a bit weird and honestly I wasn’t a fan of. The service was also pretty lackluster, it was walk up service, which seems to be pretty common in the PNW so we’ve grown accustomed to it, but when its walk up service, I expect a little more when I do come to the bar to order. There were two employees, a blonde woman that I’d guess was in her 20s and a middle aged gentleman. The woman was very nice and enthusiastic and seemed eager to help, but the man seemed like he was doing everything he could to avoid serving guests; when I returned to the bar for the second half of our wine flight, he noticed me, but proceeded to drink water, pace around, look in the storage closet, take a step towards me, turn around, take his sweatshirt off, look around again, then finally came up. As a bartender myself, it seemed like all the things that someone does when they don’t want to help a guest, so they try to waste as much time as possible until another co-worker comes to help them. The vibe was pretty cool being in the basement with glass windows all around so you could see the wine barrels, but it was a bit too dark in my opinion, which made it seem kind of dingy being in the basement. I also wasn’t a fan that when you walk in, there are no signs or menus, just brochures advertising other McMenamin’s properties, and the bar is very small with standing room only and very crowded. It reminded me of a busy college bar where I had to fight through to order drinks, but in this case I had to do that just to see a menu, let alone order a drink; not exactly the experience I want from a tasting room. Overall though, it was still unique experience and I’m sure it would be really cool to stay on property, but I don’t think I’d go back.“

“Gorgeous grounds that you can spend hours walking. This property was formerly a work farm for the local poor. It has been repurposed as a vineyard, hotel, spa, restaurant, bar, golf course and more! There are many events held here but it is absolutely worth a visit even if you don't plan to stay the night. Check out the wine cellar or espresso bar for some great local options, or head inside to the gift shop for some kitschy finds.“

“We had the Charcuterie. It was good. They had friendly staff, good selection of beer at a fair price, and the facility was big and roomy including the outside seating. We will probably be back to try the pizza. The pizzas seem kind of small for the price they are charging.“

“We were there for a wedding reception in the top of the Power station but did go up all three floors of the main building. The walls are painted with murals and quotes everywhere. It is really cool to see and there is a map of the full acreage of the place. It has cool history and a great garden with paper bush plants blooming at the end of winter / early spring that provide a great fragrance 😍“

“This is our local pub and the default place to grab drinks and dinner after a long week. There's always a great selection of local beers on draft, and the seasonal cocktails are a favorite. I often order the Blue Bayou salad, the Portland dip sandwich, or the Captain Neon burger, always with tots. Sadly the Scooby Snacks are no longer available here, so we'll occasionally travel to McMenamins locations further afield for those.
The staff are always friendly and helpful. If I have one criticism, it's that they often seem understaffed here, with one server to wait all the tables and tend bar. But ultimately it doesn't matter, I'll be going here until I die.“

“What a great dining experience!
Thank you, Jess, for outstanding service! You really made our visit nice.
Cook Ashlee, wow! Everything you made came out perfect!
We had such a delightful lunch, we came back for dinner!
Great location, it was our 1st time in!
The staff worked very well together as one big happy team!“

“Hands down Shane, Nicole , Sadie, Miles and the rest of the crew are absolutely some of the best humans I’ve had the pleasure of interacting with. I’ve been coming to Portland my entire life but most recently in a professional capacity since August of 2025, these guys and gals have alway gone above and beyond my expectations no matter the amount of bodies in the establishment. If you are every in the area do yourself a favor stop by eat, drink, and be merry.“
