10 Best Brewpubs near Hillsboro

“Oregon Mini Society descended on McMenamins Rock Creek Tavern, and it could not have been a better destination.

First off, the table. If you know, you know. The massive old-growth timber round table just inside the side entrance is worth the visit alone. It’s the kind of table that makes you want to count the growth rings and debate its age over lunch (we considered it… then the food arrived and priorities shifted). It comfortably handled our lively group and instantly set the tone for a relaxed, communal gathering.

The staff was friendly, patient, and genuinely accommodating. When a group of classic car enthusiasts shows up talking oil pressure, tire pressure, and twisty roads, that can go one of two ways. Here, we were welcomed like regulars.

The food was excellent, the atmosphere warm and historic, and the setting makes it an ideal starting point, mid-point, or finish line for any car club tour. Easy access, plenty of space, and just the right vibe for lingering conversations after the engines cool.

If you’re planning a group drive or just want a spot with character and great service, Rock Creek Tavern checks every box.

We’ll absolutely be back… and next time, we might finally count those rings.“

“Love this brewery! Staff are friendly, the beer is absolutely top notch, place is small but cozy and inviting! Generally have some excellent shanties playing and a dart board in the corner...taste of Irish, anyone?! Brewer does a phenomenal scotch ale, and the Meanderin' Mandarin Pale Ale is delicious. I could drink that stuff for brekky! Comedy nights, bottle swaps, and other events on a regular basis. Check them out! Kudos, Three Mugs!“

“We went for the Wassail Cider Fest for the first time and it was energetic! The band performance was something I'd never seen before and hosting it in their barn really added to the experience. They had a great cider selection from a very wide variety of vendors. It was very crowded and difficult to move around at times due to the high volume of traffic. The parking lot was full so we parked nearby at the Fred Meyer and walked which was to be expected. We got food from their restaurant after and besides a slightly burnt pattie on one of our burgers, they do a good job. And service is always great. Overall we had a great time! Spending per person includes our event tickets which was $48 per person.“

“Absolutely amazing place! Best pizza in the PNW. Well worth the $6 toll back and forth from our hotel in Cascade Locks.“

“Cute place in a fun area with really good beer!“

“They serve custom made beer. I don't drink alcohol so I can't speak to the taste personally but have heard that it's good. Friendly staff, working brewery out of their garage so it has a very comfortable homely feel. Two big huskies. They bark but are friendly once they get to know you. Straight up adorable!“

“Huge shout out to Chelsie, she went above and beyond and made our experience so pleasant. She was so amazing with our son and gave us a perfect amount of space to enjoy our meal as a family while checking in on us here and there. She greeted my husband and my son immediately and encouraged them to go check out the upstairs section since my son was clearly enjoying their fans (if your kid loves fans they are extra special here). Happy hour menu was great, kids grilled cheese was delicious, we will be back and hopefully served by Chelsie.“

“We've been enjoying Forage Grove and it's nice to have another great restaurant in downtown Forest Grove! We love both Comida Kin and FG Amore for dinner and the brunch is great too. My favorites are the Chicken Enchiladas from Comida Kin and the pizzas from FG Amore are suberb!“

“Just moved to Beaverton two months ago and have already become Three Mugs regulars because of their excellent beers and delicious food. The Friday music events are also a great time. Nothing like having a great “local” where you feel right at home.“

“Fun place plus a free pool table.“
