It was pretty loud while we were there, but I don’t blame anybody. It was during the World Cup and it’s an ale house. I didn’t expect it to be quiet, but it was very noisy. They ever made a small place and a lot of people were in there. But it’s a unique and fun place to visit and I absolutely would return so if you’re in the area and would love to get a drink or hang out for a little bit would be a great stop.

McGillin’s Olde Ale House is definitely an inviting place with a fun atmosphere. You can feel the energy as soon as you walk in. I especially appreciated the mini games near the entrance — a creative touch with some great prizes that added to the overall experience.

The service from Gina was superb. She was friendly, attentive, and made sure everything came out smoothly. Our drinks arrived quickly, and we had no complaints about the service.

While in the area for a wedding, my friends and I stopped by to have a bevvie and were greeted and served by Tammy. The World's Sassiest Bartender. She lives up to her name and it was an absolute treat to meet her. I noticed the bar ceiling was missing a Notre Dame Pennant so I'm sending one to her to fill that void. Thank you for an absolutely amazing experience! GO IRISH!! From your Oregon friends, Liane, Sue and CeCe.
