McMenamins Corvallis Pub

This is such a cozy spot to meet friends. A fun environment  but not so noisy that you can't keep up a conversation. Plus the food is amazing. I highly recommend the Tots!!!

Three stars for the food. There's better micro-brews too. I can't really understand how/why a thriving outfit like McM's doesn't do food/brew better, but it's on the high side of mediocre. They all are, except for the "Black Rabbit" in Edgefield, which is a consistently good meal.

You can expect good service and a friendly place in any McM's, and this one is no exception. It was built in the '70's as a fish & chips joint, and keeps the original Euro style atmosphere. There's a working fireplace in the bar side, and it's in use when the weather stinks, so it gets a workout. Relaxing and comfortable.

I am a big fan of McMennamin's in general. What I like most about them is that they are imaginative, relaxed, and their whole biz plan of recycling older buildings and transforming them into interesting and inviting places is just great.
We've been to several in the PDX area, McMinnville, one in WA, Bend, and of course both of them here (the one on Monroe is in a new building, but it's got the vibe).
Go and stay at one that has an Inn, Edgefield for starters, if you haven't done so. Simply great places, good music venue too.

If they could just bring their food and brewing skills up to the level of their facilities and entertainment, they would be unbeatable. They seem to be thriving, anyway, so I guess it works.

Awesome! The interior is sweet, just like many of the McMenamins Pubs up north. It has a European vibe that makes the experience quite fun and joyful.  

The food is spectacular and the beer delicious. We stopped in before happy hour and got some of their delicious soup and sweet potato fries. We weren't disappointed. Our server was very friendly and service was fast and efficient. This is one of our go-to places in Corvallis.
