McMenamins Honors Bar

Limited to 6 beer taps, so don't expect all beers to be available here. Very cozy though!

Mcmenimans is the definition of mid. The drinks and food take you back to college when anything better than ramen and bush lite were gourmet, but the prices have skyrocketed so you’ll end up shelling out $40 a person for a 2/5 meal that makes you wish you just went to a dive bar instead. I’d go as far to say that Mcmenimans is the Applebees of Portland but substitute cheap prices for mahogany wood

I had always gone to the McMenamins restaurants in town at the coast and was really excited to check out this location! The food was delicious and the atmosphere was inviting. I got a salad and appetizer and was pleasantly surprised on how fresh the vegetables on the salad were. The hummus plate was really good too and even came with some pita bread that was warm and cozy in the middle. I met a friend in town and they wanted to share the experience with me and boy was I impressed!

We stayed one night while in town visiting family. Bars on site were awesome. Food was delicious, movie theater was fun and the bed oh-so comfortable. We didn't get to enjoy the soaking pool but next time!

Great little spot at the Kennedy school! Try the Souled Out! It's delicious!

Attended a company party and the food was bland once we did receive our food. Some of the chicken was under cooked and the pork and salmon was dry.

The area around the school is sketchy. I didn't feel comfortable leaving my car, but it was fine. AWESOME job they have done with this property. The detention and honors bars are not to be missed. Will go here again!

Such a great spot. Great atmosphere!

My husband and I ordered a butter beer because of the Harry Potter theme that weekend. Enjoyed a flight of cider (3) and a flight of beer (6). Big glasses & we could not finish them all. All excellent though. The pool area is quaint & peaceful. Valuable artwork adorn the walls. Unique building alright.

I have always wanted to stay here and it was just as much of a delight as I hoped it would be! The classroom style guest rooms are darling but the best part of this hotel is all the “extras”! The soaking pool was incredible and I made sure to end every night with a long soak, I loved that it wasn’t crowded in the evening and that you could bring a drink out with you. The movie theater and restaurants on site are all lovely additions and even just a walk around the historic building is a fun activity. Location is great as well, having off street parking while still being in the heart of Portland is a big plus. Definitely worth a stay or even just popping in for a soaking pool dip!

Lovely property in a residential area of Portland, several pubs and restaurants on property as well as a very fun courtyard heated soaking pool. You stay in converted classrooms, ours had the old cloakroom and sliding doors to cover it with blackboards. Great food and drink like all McMenamins properties. With plenty to amuse and interest right there on site, small movie theater (complementary with room) and plenty of free parking. We stayed in room 101 that was by an access ramp that had people clomping up and down it (rather than take the stairs) late into the night, otherwise rather quite for in "town".

Very cool location with lots of ambiance and interesting artifacts. Movie theater, pool, pool room, several bars and gift shop as well as a hotel and restaurant. Very good bar food. We had Shepard’s pie, burgers, humus and chicken strips. Love to come back.

I have finally visited McMenamin's Kennedy School for afternoon drinks and snacks in this beautifully restored old school. But I could have visited to attend a live concert, watched a movie, had a dinner or stayed in one of their hotel rooms! Truly a multi-purpose entertainment venue. The ambience would be described as laid-back, with The Grateful Dead playing over the speaker system. Peaceful, cheerful and welcoming.
