McMenamins

McMenamins is a family-owned company based in Portland, Oregon, renowned for its unique blend of hospitality, entertainment, and history. Established in 1983 by brothers Mike and Brian McMenamin, the company has grown to encompass a diverse array of establishments across Oregon and Washington.

Their portfolio includes pubs, restaurants, hotels, breweries, movie theaters, music venues, and golf courses. Many of these are housed in refurbished historic properties, reflecting the company’s commitment to preserving history and culture.

Historic Site Rehabilitation

A hallmark of McMenamins' approach is the rehabilitation of historic sites. For instance, the Edgefield property in Troutdale, Oregon, was transformed from a former poor farm and mental health facility into a vibrant hotel, pub, and concert venue.

This 74-acre site now features gardens, a movie theater, swimming pool, winery, distillery, brewery, and various shops and galleries, making it a major destination for visitors.

Hotels and Accommodations

The company's commitment to history is also evident in its hotel offerings. The Grand Lodge in Forest Grove, Oregon, occupies a 1920s former Freemasonic Grand Lodge. The hotel boasts 90 guestrooms, each uniquely decorated to honor different literary authors.

Additional amenities include two restaurants, three bars, a spa, a movie theater, and a disc golf course, enhancing the guest experience beyond lodging.

Pubs and Beverage Production

Beyond accommodations, McMenamins operates numerous pubs and restaurants that serve handcrafted beers, wines, ciders, spirits, and coffee. These are accompanied by a menu of pub fare to complement their beverages.

The company has established its own breweries, distilleries, and wineries. Their products reflect the local culture and flavors of the Pacific Northwest.

Entertainment Venues

Entertainment is a cornerstone of McMenamins' offerings. Many locations feature live music venues, movie theaters, and event spaces. The Crystal Ballroom in Portland, Oregon, stands out as a historic music venue hosting a variety of performances.

Passport Program

For those interested in exploring the full range of McMenamins' establishments, the company offers a Passport Program. This initiative encourages patrons to visit different locations, collect stamps, and earn rewards.
