Good food, relaxed service, signature warm ambiance. Was here for a professional social at the high tables. Went well
DESIGN ZONE
Quick stop for a few drinks. Inside, the place is very cool. Spacious and designed well. The hostess was very nice and welcoming. Service was bad, guy was in a bad mood or strung out. When paying my tab, the waiter with the beard didn’t bring back my card. I was like, what the!? I walked in to get my card cuz he wasn't coming back and saw my credit card laying on the floor in the entry way!!! Come on, get it together!

Celebrated a birthday. Didn't have any food. Just the normal McMenamins beer selections. Had a Hammerhead. We a pool table and shuffleboard table reserved and had some cake. ?

huge fan of Mcmenamins as a whole. many excellent locations with eclectic decor that I think about trying to recreate every single time I’m in one. the lamps alone, my god.HOWEVER. this specific experience was not only marked by the very attentive and friendly server (whose name escapes me, but has curly reddish hair) who was absolutely on top of keeping us hydrated and informed despite us being obnoxious and loud, but ALSO because of the couple in the back who copped our entire meal. I don’t know if you overheard our friend talking about their financial issues, or if you just wanted to do something friendly. combined though it was a reminder that there ARE wonderful, kind people in the world, despite everything, at times, pointing to the contrary. try the pollinator, it was delicious. have a beautiful day.

We keep saying it's the last time. This might actually be that last. We recognized the server from another McMenamins location--he did better this time, actually listened. But even though Onion Rings were the reason we came in, were on the menu outside the door and on the online menuu, they didn't have them. After (only after) delivering my sweet potato fries he asked if I wanted sauce? Did my husband want catsup? No head on my husband's beer. We went during Happy Hour and my husband was overcharged for his burger. No coasters. What happened to the coasters? It never used to disappoint like this. We've been coming to McMenamins for decades now, and it's right around the corner, but this really is the last time.

My first of several McMenamins, there are many like it(not really), but this one is mine. Didn't do the passport, seems like a commitment my vacation doesn't warrant. Enjoyed the pretzels, fairly generic IPA. Family friendly, cool little HH spot downtown though.

Service on that patio is terrible. Unsanitary as well.

Atmosphere was very casual and overall JUST what we wanted! Food about a 3.5-4 out of 5. Garlic fries were dripping with oil, but the Hungarian beef and mushroom soup was good! Didn’t care for half the beers on the sampler and mixed drink seemed a bit watered down.

They have a great wood fire place to have soup next to on a cold day. Their sliders are good for a quick bite.
Really good service. Great comfort food. Warm fire. Some great memories and more to come here. A hidden gem.

Good spot for a drink, though you can get cheaper beers elsewhere. I enjoyed the atmosphere here and the jello shots are well-priced. Lively spot on a Friday night. Bar was full enough where we could not all get seats. Food and menu didn't look that great or entice me enough to order given the price so can't comment on that.

Stopped by for a drink after work - I had been to a McMenamins before so already knew to expect the caveats with their food. That said - the drinks are so well priced which is perfect for a middle of the week out. The ambiance would definitely bring me back on a weekend - whether it's to have a cozy conversation by the fire or to play shuffleboard. Definitely a good spot if you want to play and have some drinks.

Was gonna get a drink but the old bartender with the blonde big beard was a prick, curt and cold. All i asked was if they have an amber ale and he just responded with can i see your ID rudely. Then proceeded pester me before answering my question. Im currently a waitress this is not how u do service
