McMenamins is Portland-based company, channeled by brothers Mike and Brian McMenamin who opened their first location in 1983. Championing ever since the philosophy, "It's got to be fun," the two brothers have created a "Kingdom of Fun," with more than 55 (and counting) neighborhood gathering spots in Oregon and Washington.

McMenamins continues to create imaginative and comfortable gathering spots for friends and family, tossing in unexpected turns of fun wherever possible. Stay overnight in a former Kennedy Elementary School classroom, take in the majestic 360-degree view from the Hotel Oregon's Rooftop Bar, see national music acts at the historic Crystal Ballroom and Edgefield, make new friends through all-inclusive conversations at Edgefield's Little Red Shed—it all happens in a good pub.
