“😁what is the shelf life?“

“Great place to hang with friends and delicious beverages!“

“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!!“

“This is a very cool little stop for a quick pint and a place to chill. MadCow Brewing Co. has a small food and snack menu and a rotating tap list. I recommend the huckleberry cream ale. The staff is very friendly. They host trivia nights and fun events, and food trucks stop by on some nights. A great local spot to hang out.“

“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.“

“F'n amazing people and amazing beer!“

“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 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.“

“Stopped in to check it out. They have a little bar called the Red Shed. Very cool little bar thay sells cigars. Inside and outdoor seating but only smoking available outside. The McMenamins locations are super cool and this one is one of the best. It's huge with its own winery, brewery and lots of gardens and cool hotel and restaurants. If you're looking for an amazing place to check out this needs to be on your list. Very close to PDX and plenty of parking. Check it out...you'll like it. I guarantee it!“

“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.“

“I had a good experience. Everyone is super friendly. I remember a few years ago their portions were larger due to adding more variety and more ingredients to their plates. I miss that. People love garnishes and those are part of a perfect plate, nutrition and simple creativity that would draw any patron to an establishment like McMe's.“

“The women who work at this location are genuinely so friendly and wonderful. We moved away from a different McMenamins that had been our local go to, and now this is our new local one... It is perfect and cozy. Even in a strip mall of sorts, it is still filled with all the charm and warmth that McMenamins is known for.“

“Everything is great. But... One week I can get the BEST old fashioned from them. The next week, its definitely not what I looked forward to. Different bartenders... I get it. But there needs to be consistency. Other than that, not a single complaint.“
