Mcmenamins Rock Creek Tavern

Neat place, live music every night, great choice of food and drink. I highly recommend!

Super cool place! I checked it out because I’m going to be playing music here soon and wanted to see the layout, as well as I wanted my passport stamp! I walked in and fell in love with the place! It was like getting to visit a story book setting, almost magical. We’ll be back!

Can 't tell you much 'bout the food, But my lunch partner was wonderfully engaging. We have known each other for over 15 years and never have had a cross word.

What a rad spot for food and drinks! It was very nice that the patio was open for business. They did a great job at keeping the area heated and we were nothing but cozy for all of happy hour. The truffle fries and pretzels w/ fondue were super tasty! Along with the red wine flight! I also loved that our dog was able to join in in the fun. The service was nothing short of exceptional.

McMenamin 's Rock Creek Tavern is a little out of the way, but totally worth the drive! Stumbling onto this moss covered cabin in the 'woods ' (despite being alongside a country highway felt like discovering a woodsman 's longhouse from the early 20th century, or walking into The Green Dragon from The Lord of the Rings. I half expected to encounter lumberjacks, hobbits, or both, drinking and singing inside. The covered patio outside had several firepits and propane lanterns, although the latter were mostly defunct. I 'm starting to suspect there is a worldwide shortage of propane, thanks to COVID 19 and the transition to outdoor dining, to keep struggling restaurants afloat. Still, we were fortunate enough to be seated adjacent to one such firepit, so we were able to enjoy our Moscow Mule and **** Mary, warm and content. We also split a Cannonball of Fire: a sourdough bread bowl filled with hearty chili (made perfect with a side of Secret Aardvark sauce! and subbing the salad out for some truffle fries (one of our favorite McMenamins offerings . The fries at any McMenamins are always perfectly cooked and salted, and the chili was spiced lightly to accommodate all palates (hence the added Aardvark for us capsaicin addicts! , not too heavy on beans or beef a solid blend of all ingredients, with shredded cheese and onion on top. Between the two of us, it made for a somewhat light, but completely filling lunch, before heading out to run a bunch of errands. Both my wife and I are looking forward to returning once COVID is a thing of the past, to dine inside and experience the rustic decor. Looks like a warm and comfy place to escape for date night!
