This is the FIRST McMenamins Brewery! If you have been around this area you know that they have restored and brought weirdness to many historic spots that may have been lost. That said... I don't recommend the food. My only joy there is a rubinatior (half Terminator Stout and Ruby pils). Hammered IPA is worth a mention.

It is a weird drop down to get to it, but it is literally directly below our house. You have to go straight from the strange intersection heading down towards the river(see google). Anyway, it is wonderful Hawaiian food! you can get it delivered or take out and if you want to hang out they generally have live Hawaiian music on the weekends.
