7 Best Brewpubs in Salem

“I frequently go to xicha for meals with family and friends. We love the food and the atmosphere. Last weekend we had them cater an event for us. The food got many compliments and the service was fabulous.“

“Staff was friendly, food was good, although my blackened chicken wasn’t really blackened.“

“Stopped by the Lancaster Dr. Taphouse on a Thursday night to catch TNF and sample a brew. First time visit, and they happened to have a band scheduled that night. Tried their 70 IBU citra hops IPA and liked it. Good and hoppy enough for this old hophead, with a crisp taste and a good mouth feel.

They serve pizza, but also have several food trucks onsite. I ordered from Adan's food truck 2-for-5 bucks pork tamales and boy, were they GOOD! Moist masa, tender carnitas, just perfect. His chile verde sauce was a great accompaniment with a nice kick to it. Almost bought more to take home with me.

The band set up and began playing at 7pm. 90s covers. Listening to live music is always a treat.
Definitely reccomend that you stop by Shades of Brew!

Parking: Parking is somewhat limited.

Kid-friendliness: This is a family-friendly venue but bring your own "happy bags" for them to keep them busy.“

“My husband, myself and a friend had lunch at Santiam today. Stephanie was our server and was absolutely great. Very knowledgeable about drinks and food. She recommended some things. The food was just excellent as was the cherry cider I had.“

“Waitress was very friendly, took order well and correct. One thing I may say noy so much as a bad thing but fries were brought out way before our food. Now maybe it was an appetizer we over looked. It was happy hour. Food tasted well, I order the triple cheeseburger sliders. I went to another McM. On Liberty and the burgers had a distinct flavor that I liked and these didn't have it. After all food was brought, the waitress dissappear for a bit. I guess a large party came in. We had a waiter come later and let us know and checked on us. Those were the only negative, otherwise everything else was great and I will be going back.“

“First time here and will definitely return! Had the Hot Bird sandwich and it was so good. The breading was well seasoned and the bun was light as air.“

“We had dinner here on a late Sunday in Sept 25. We were able to sit outside as it was still warm. No one else was outside so we had the whole porch. Our server was tremendous. She worked with the kitchen to help customize our order. The food was great. The old house is an attraction in itself.“
