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.
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.
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.
