Father's Day is coming, which means a lot of you are currently trying to answer the annual question: "What do we do for Dad?" 🤔

May we suggest not overthinking it.

Steak. Fries. Whiskey.

We've got New York steak & Frites specials featuring either gaucho steak sauce with Parmesan herb fries or a soy-glazed teriyaki reduction paired with sweet potato fries. And for the whiskey lovers, a hand-selected whiskey flight that's basically Father's Day in liquid form.

Dad gets steak. Dad gets whiskey. Everyone wins.

If you’re looking for a place to happily lose track of time, Doc's Bar is it. 🍻✨

Pool, games, shuffleboard, a few distractions you didn’t plan on staying for… and suddenly it’s been an hour (or three) and nobody’s mad about it.

It’s the kind of place where “just one game” turns into a whole evening, and honestly, that’s kind of the point.

We count floors a little differently around here. 👀

Case in point: Floor 3.5.

Is it technically a landing between staircases? Sure. Is it also technically a floor? According to us... absolutely.

Some places stop at whole numbers. We prefer to embrace the in-between moments.

The 6th floor has its own kind of main character energy ✨🌿

The lights? Doing the absolute most.
The plants? Thriving like they’re on vacation.
The whole space? Somehow feeling like it’s always been this alive.

Like… they’re really pulling their weight around here.

43 years ago, a door opened and it never really stopped leading somewhere new. 🍻✨

In 1983, McMenamins threw open the doors of its first pub at Barley Mill. What followed wasn’t a straight line. It was a winding, beer-filled, music-soaked, art-covered journey through buildings that all had their own second chances waiting.

Like Elks Temple, a place that spent decades in limbo. Plans came and went in the late ‘80s. Then nearly 30 years of silence, exploration, graffiti, curiosity, and a whole lot of “what is this place?” energy. Until 2017, when the work began to bring it back… and in 2019, it opened its doors again.

That spirit and that idea that places and stories deserve another chapter is what this anniversary is all about.

On June 13th, we celebrate 43 years with:
🍻 All-day happy hour on 1983 Lager pints
🥔 All-day happy hour on Cajun tots
🎟️ A just-for-fun Passport stamp
🧭 The “Search for the Barley Brew” hunt across early McMenamins spots

Visit, collect, explore, and raise a glass to everything that came before and everything still to come.

Because the story’s never really been about one place. It’s been about all of them.

Something about the 6th floor just keeps people moving… and stopping… and looking around again 👀✨

It’s wonderfully busy in that “you might not notice time passing” kind of way.

And honestly? That’s part of the charm.

Some patios just pair well with certain drinks. The Spanish Bar patio pairs well with all of them 🍸✨

French 75. Lavender Lemonade. Ginger Whiskey Smash. Just a few very good reasons to sit a little longer.
