“A Hood River pillar! Them and Pfriem.“
“This is another gem in the McMenamins line of fun, historical establishments - and by far my favorite! Been here many times over the years - actually even had my very first lobster roll EVER here (as a special item years ago) and it was amazing. The vibe is so quirky - you definitely feel like you’re walking the halls of your old elementary school - except there are bars and a lively restaurant and even a brewery haha!! The staff has always been super welcoming and friendly. The food at their main Courtyard Restaurant has always been great. On my last visit (July 2023), I had their chicken salad sandwich on croissant and it was SO GOOD!! Even their tater tots were perfectly cooked. And they even have some of the best iced tea I’ve had outside of the south! Their menu changes seasonally so it’s always a treat to try something new. After eating, leave time to explore - the grounds are just gorgeous and you’ll get lost in the nostalgia as you wander around the old school’s hallways. They have several bars - one is huge and has total steampunk vibes. They have a small hotel and a salt water pool - even the bathrooms are beautiful. I’d definitely like to stay here next time - but I imagine it can be a tad spooky at night haha! The school opened back in 1915 so it’s a historic building. The wall art is gorgeous and there are lots of info signs and historical pics scattered around. It’s in a good location in north Portland with plenty of parking and easy to find. I’ll definitely be back next time I’m in the area!“
“I love this place. It was a bit rough and off kilter once they hired a new manager with crazy hair. Now that she is gone, things are getting back to enjoyable. Great beers and lots of good food carts to choose from. I love watching games on the three large televisions.“

“I like the selection variety for the food. We came after a big catering order, so the food took a bit of time, but that's fine. From my point of view, it did also seem like there was some possible communication issues between front and back of house. As a cook, it isn't too wild to see that. Outside of that, thr atmosphere is cool. Games are made available to play if you came with a small group, so that's pretty cool.
In total I ordered 2 chicken sandwiches with fries [one regular, one garlic parm], and an order of cheese curds. The cheese curds were a little luke warm, but honestly, they were still damn good. The batter on them is really nice.
The chicken sandwiches are huge. That's a great bonus. Could do with a little more of the housemade sauce on top, but I'm a sauce fiend, so that could be personal preference and not everyone is the same. Also, a note, the buns are good! They dont disintegrate upon first bite and stay together throughout the whole sandwich.
The regular fries are goofld! Crispy, and not too thick and not too thin. The garlic parm fries though? I think I expected the normal finely shredded parmesan or grated parmesan. Instead it was shaved parmesan. So it didnt really melt or try to melt and just was something to kind of push aside or hope it stuck to a fry. Also it was kinda just garlic powder. I feel the fries could do with a bit of a lot more salt.
All in all, in a world of gluten, this place is a good beacon to a gluten free person craving some good fried chicken sandwich/ cheese curds.“

“My go-to spot for well crafted cider in southeastern Portland. They have a beautiful outdoor seating area as well as plenty of comfortable spots inside the taproom, too. Parking is never an issue, although newcomers may think their GPS has led them astray (Yes, really, it is at the back of an industrial park.) I would highly recommend the Scrumpy or Sun-Burned Santa ciders (the latter being seasonal for the summer, good chance). Their happy hour menu is a good value if you're seeking a quick bite and sip.“
