I came here with my date to try some ciders. We both are cider fans so it was fun to try all the different flavors with a flight each. I was a huge fan of the pineapple habanero. We were told the cider is made in house and you can get them to go in a growler if you like. They have food trucks on site but we had eaten previously at the sushi restaurant across the street. They have an open night for comedy/singing/poetry on Thursday that seemed like it would be fun. Overall a great place to grab a drink and hangout read more

A great place to grab a cider or craft beer. With several food trucks in the back, you can definitely find a decent t meal to go with your drink. They also have open mic entertainment and local musical acts on some nights, making it a great community gathering place. The staff will always offer recommendations and tastes of the many taps. read more

Towards the end of April 2026, I planned and hosted a private event here for my husband's birthday and unfortunately left very disappointed with the food portion of the experience, especially considering the pricing. To be transparent, there were definitely positives! The staff assisting with setup and during the event were kind and helpful, the beverages and fruit were well received, and the venue itself worked well for our event. It allowed us enough space to spread out and have various areas for different activities. However, the food quality and overall value did not align with what had been discussed beforehand. The croissant sandwiches included on those boards were minimally filled and very underwhelming for the cost, and the desserts served were not what we discussed and agreed upon during planning. Several desserts were also largely untouched by guests (or to be frank, one bite taken and then thrown in the trash). What ultimately disappointed me the most, though, was how my feedback was handled afterward. I reached out privately in hopes of having a constructive conversation and I was initially offered a partial refund. However that offer was later withdrawn after the owner reviewed event footage and determined that "because food had been consumed/taken home," our concerns were not valid. Of course we took food home, we paid for it! In my opinion, guests eating food at a hosted event does not automatically mean the quality met expectations. I fully understand that no event is perfect, and I tried to approach the situation reasonably and directly before posting publicly. Unfortunately, the overall experience and response left me feeling dismissed rather than heard as a paying customer. read more

A great place to gather. A few food carts out back and plenty of fine beverages to try. Karaoke was happening when I visited. Front are is nicer in my opinion, but a nice patio type space out back by the carts. read more

We hosted our fantasy football draft at WACH last night and it was the perfect spot! The atmosphere was awesome -- plenty of space for our group, great beer and cider options, and the staff made sure everything ran smoothly. Having the big screen available for our draft board took the whole experience to another level. Everyone in our league agreed this was one of the best draft nights we've ever had, and the venue was a big reason why. If you're looking for a fun, relaxed place to host an event, hang out with friends, or just enjoy some drinks, I can't recommend WACH enough. We'll definitely be back next year! read more

Checked out Ale & Cider House for their ciders. They're right by Kelly's Tacos Food Truck. We dropped in on a Friday afternoon (3:15pm). The bartender was friendly and let us sample a few ciders before deciding. 16 ciders on tap (15 Queen Orchard, one 2 Towns Ciderhouse) along with 13 beers. Cider bottles were $18.00 USD in-store, but on sale online for $14.00 USD. - Cider flight ($10.00 USD for four 5oz) - spicy pineapple, mango, cranberry hibiscus and passionfruit guava cocktail (13%)! Flavours were solid with good fruit flavour. The cocktail was a bit overwhelming, tasted aged in rum. Would come back to A&CH for more ciders. read more

I went to the Thursday Open Mic evening last night and had a delightful time. What a friendly, open group of people. Good sound system, intimate setting, enthusiastic, and supportive group. They are gracious in that they let anyone new go early in the evening. If you want a good venue where you can play your music (two songs), this is an excellent choice. The signup is at 5:30 and I suggest getting there early since there is a crowd surrounding the signup sheet. Clearly, this is one of the best open mic venues in the Portland area. read more

We attended a work Christmas party in the event space at the Ale & Cider House located in West Linn. We ended up parking in the street, but there seems to be a small dedicated parking area for the Cider house. The event space was beautiful and you could definitely host a variety of events from a reception to Christmas parties! The ladies helping with food and drinks were extremely nice and helpful throughout our time there. The food we had was a nacho bar and it was perfect for the event and fresh! The taphouse had endless drink options for those who enjoy school. While they had a few nonalcoholic bottles beverages I wished that they had some root beer or other soda on tap. They only had a small amount of diet cokes that were quickly gone. I would definitely recommend this space for future events and will be back with friends for a round of drinks! read more

Had a refreshing passionfruit guava cider and it was sooo good! It only comes in a 10 oz pour because it's 13% alcohol. Service was good. She was really nice and allowed me to have a couple samples of ciders I wanted to try. Liked the passionfruit one so much I had a second glass! read more

My husband and I hosted our engagement party at Ale & Cider House and would recommend to anyone looking for an event venue! Ann was so incredibly helpful in helping us choose the right space for our event needs (we were in the Beer Garden - highly recommend), ironing out all the details ahead of our event, and arranging everything we needed for food so we didn't have to worry about it. They even opened early to accommodate our preferred event time. As far as day-of, the staff were exceptional and the event went off without a hitch. All of our guests mentioned how much they loved the venue and reiterated their excitement to come back. On top of it all, their beers and ciders are so yummy!! 10/10 would come back for another event or just to grab a drink with friends. read more

The team at the A+CH helped us organize and execute a truly special night for our 2024 WLHS graduates. They talked us through food and beverage options and were so easy to work with!

Go see Anne and her crew, the cider is DELICIOUS read more

Hands down the best all-ages watering hole in the area! I've been frequenting the open mic on Thursdays for several years with my kids, we get up and perform and have witnessed it become a local institution - rich with willing and welcoming musicians and audience - and beautiful generational diversity. The outdoor space is HUGE and the recent renovation they did in the outdoor covered area is really lovely. What the Ale & Cider House provides provides the Willamette community is really amazing and I'm so thankful it is here!! read more

I found this gem of a place in West Linn. Wow, what a great place to hold a company party, a family gathering or other events. This is a fantastic venue for any party! The large, excellent selection of beers, wines and house made ciders is just a start.

They offer great selection of beverages and food and fantastic atmosphere and service for small and large gatherings. read more

What a fabulous place! The owner Anne is the best , most accommodating host I have ever had the pleasure of working with. We chose this venue for our reunion get-together. We had a small turnout with about 54 people. She did a buffet with excellent pulled pork, macaroni and cheese, charcuterie, desserts, etc. Everyone loved it. The venue was in the back with access to the outdoors. It was perfect! I loved it being casual and relaxed. We had food left over and we were provided with take out containers. How cool is that? Waitstaff were so friendly and nice. I can go on and on. I have already recommended it to three people today! read more

Willamette Ale and Cider House is a fantastic hangout spot in West Linn. They have a large beer and cider selection.

I like cider as much as the next gal, but I wasn't sure a place that primarily dishes out cider and with limited food options, could stand up to the hype I'd been receiving. With that said, it was well regarded and I'm always game to try new places near my hood. Upon entering the ciderhouse we were immediately welcomed and greeted by staff. The place is quirky and inviting. If cider is your thing or you just want to try something new, this place must be visited. They have an entire wall of ciders and some pretty intriguing flavors. By far the most clean, refreshing and oh so yummy cider I have ever had. We sampled a pineapple, lime and a spicy cider. All FANTASTIC!!! I was torn between trying the spicy or lime and the bartender recommended mixing the two. It was so perfectly balanced and not sweet at all. I had no idea cider could be so versatile in flavor. They don't serve food but occasionally have food trucks and they partner with Bellagios pizza and they can bring food. The inside doesn't have a lot of seating but don't be fooled, there is a huge , Lively additional space in the back. Don't wait as long as I did to give the place a go. read more

We. Had. A. Blast. We initially book a holiday party for our company in December. With adverse weather, we were forced to postpone but quickly found a new date in January. Ann and her team put together a fantastic event with the [delicious] expansive tap list, great wines, BBQ from Pine Shed, and a Wild Bill's hold 'em tournament. Our first post-COVID gathering outside of our office couldn't have been better. A huge thank you to the entire Ale & Cider House crew - we look forward to seeing you again soon. read more

Thanks to Anne for accommodating the 2024 West Linn high school baseball auction. I highly recommend anyone who is looking to do a large event to go check out her event center. She made it amazing and she was amazing to work with. Her staff was over accommodating, and made everything seamless from the start to the end. We had over 150 people and the food was amazing. I will definitely plan my next event there. read more

The wait is finally over and WACH is officially open! After several soft opening events for the community, the grand opening on Friday was absolutely packed. The overflow of patrons gave a nice bump to the surrounding restaurants and bars which made for a busy night in the historic Willamette neighborhood. Not too bad for a chilly winter's night. For the anglophiles out there, you will be amused by the royal theme running throughout the menu as well as the brickwork and decorating flourishes inside the space. I particularly enjoy the arched ceilings covered with coasters by the bar and a coat of arms at the end of the (kind of spooky) hallway leading to the loo. The King's Tavern Tap List has more ciders on the list (14) than beers (12) at the moment. Huzzah! Most servings are 16oz. and reasonably priced at $5-6. There are also two wines and one nitro tap available. http://www.aleandcider.com/taproom.html The cafe component offers a modest selection of items from the Queen's Breakfast menu from 7 - 11am. The Duke's Appetizers, Duchess Salads, and King's Sandwiches are available from 11am to Close. They are also a family friendly spot with a few Prince and Princess meals for the young ones. I ordered the Duchess Smoked Chicken Salad Sandwich which came with a side of chips. It was tasty but rather basic. The final element of the business is a coffee bar. While the food items seem priced on the high side, the beer, cider, and coffee are all more reasonable, including Queen's Dollar Coffee. WACH is housed in a large building that was Willamette's old general store. It is a sprawling structure, and you can see they are already creating some private rooms and nooks that have the opportunity of becoming fun little spaces. Right now the front bar and back cafe spaces are a bit disjointed and quite loud although the light jazz music is a nice touch. The risk of visiting a business when they first open is that there are almost always service issues and the business is still in the process of figuring out what works and what needs adjustments. In that vein, I'll offer a couple of suggestions: ** Offer beer/cider samplers and flights. The benefit of having so many taps is allowing your customers to experiment with new offerings. ** The seating could use a little adjustment (e.g. short chairs at tall tables). This will probably be adjusted as you see the ratio of small to large groups or families, but the flow seemed a bit odd. ** Doesn't appear that there is table service and I ended up ordering food from the kitchen in the back then going to the bar for a drink. ** Consider having a game cubby so friends or families can play a game while they eat & drink. ** It sounds like the bottleshop element of the business is coming. read more

Love the cider options here. There's always something new I've never tried. Anything with habanero is amazing!

This could easily be a 4 star joint for what it is, but our experience was...well, mixed. We'll go back, though, and give it another try. Food: Good. The menu is limited and not very exciting, but Dover pasta was surprisingly good. Chicken pot pie was flavorful, but the puff pastry crust was undercooked. Cheese plate was fine, but uninspired. Drink: I had a cider that was tasty, but we left before I could try anything else. Music/Ambience: OMG! I was ready to throw the guy $20 to stop his horrible performance. How does pub management let this happen? We left before dessert or another drink because we couldn't take it anymore. The layout is also confusing to a newcomer on a busy night. Sit down, to find a menu, try to read the drink board, order in one of a couple places, but you have to get up and order at the bar for additional items. Service was gracious enough, and if I was a regular, the flow of the place would be intuitive. It's just hard when your first time in is a Friday night with birthday parties and horrible, loud live music. It's a cute joint, though, and I'd go back for happy hour or lunch when I hope it would be calmer and no old guy destroying a guitar at max volume while singing monotone, outdated tunes. At least it was an interesting date night? SMH read more

What a perfect place to hang out and have great beers. There space for live music but also quite places for talking. There's a Uber hipster space, a chic coagulation space, a pastoral country farmer hang, and a English pub hall. It really has everything you're looking for.

Came by on a Saturday afternoon. The sun was out and there was seating outside available. It was not very busy, maybe cause it was 1:30pm after lunch? The guy that served us was very nice. He gave us a few samples to try. In the end he steered my wife to a tasty cider, and me to a good beer. They brought our food out to us. It was good. Not out of this world, but very enjoyable. I've been here in the evenings before and it was jumping. A fun place to hang out in West Linn. read more

My family hosted a birthday party in the indoor/outdoor back space which was perfect for the fall!

The staff was very accommodating and easy to work with. We'd definitely recommend! read more

Great service and very friendly bartenders! They knew a lot about all of the beers and ciders that they had, and went above and beyond to help find the perfect drink for their customers read more

Loved this little place tucked along the row of charming shops and restaurants in West Linn. I stumbled upon this little town heading out of Portland and am so glad I did! I enjoyed strolling the main street and could've chosen any of the little restaurants for a bite, but I was drawn to the Ale House b/c it just had a friendly vibe with an inviting sidewalk dining area. I tried a few ciders, but couldn't land easily on one that I liked, so I just went with a glass of house wine. If you enjoy hard ciders, this is your place! So many to choose from, many produced in-house. Impressive. And for a bite, I ordered the crab cake appetizer. I'm so glad I did. Some of the best I think I've ever had! Know the system here: place your drink and food order at the bar (& be assertive, one bartender passed me over for a more assertive party of 4 who came in after me!) order coffee at the separate coffee bar. Pay, then seat yourself and they'll deliver your food to your table. A must stop if you're in the area! And probably one of the happenin' joints if you're a local (envy...). read more

Cool place. Great beer selection and they have open mic. Atmosphere was nice and did I say they have plenty of beer and ciders on tap? Yep beer and cider people come drink up. I drank a lot of beer. So many beers. Just come drink beer with me. Hiccup! read more

The ambiance is good if you can get over the strong lacquer smell that permeates everything (not their fault.) Sadly, I can't go there without getting a migraine. But the people are friendly and they have great live music and lots of beers on tap, so I'd recommend trying it out for yourself. read more

The staff are crazy friendly. They have an abundant number of beers on tap, as well as hard ciders. In addition , they have a nice wine list - although it's not super robust. And a number of interesting coffee drinks, all prepared by genuinely interesting man. Taking all of that together, this is a really interesting place (Overusing the word interesting - mind you). It is however, a bit on the strange side. It's hard to tell whether it's a mix between a museum, a bar, and a bit of a Disneyesque show place. Well, whatever it is, they have a number of great beers, and the staff are extraordinarily friendly. And it's worth a visit - even if just to get a great beer and have wonderful service. read more

What a great place for an event. We had my son's wedding celebration here, with family and friends from Oregon and out of state and everything was perfect! The manager was incredibly helpful and accommodating and her staff was friendly, helpful and efficient. They provided food, alcohol and non-alcohol drinks and set out the cake with everything we needed. We had a DJ who had all he needed to set up and we had space for dancing. It was a wonderful party and everyone had a great time, thanks in large part to their event space. read more

Greatest Tuesday night! Open mic had some really talented acoustic singer song writers. The space is absolutely incredible, beautiful bar and friendly staff. Food was also damn good! Due to the reviews had to try the Reuben, didn't disappoint at all, Nachos were also very good. Mango salsa on the nachos initially caused some hesitation but it was delicious. Can't forget the reason that brought us here, the cider! Lots of local options and lots of options to try. I appreciate that the menu not only mentioned the ABV but also lists the sweetness, makes decision making very easy. Love this place, will be back soon. read more
