We came in on a Sunday late afternoon, I think, and it was very, very dark inside. Just two or three patrons interacting with the beertender. They were playing Romancing the Stone on the TV, which was alright. Only four or five beers on tap. Overall? The beers were good! The guy working was nice! The vibes from the patrons were friendly, but it's definitely not the kind of place I'd ever be interested in hanging out at for very long. Lil' too dark and sparsely decorated for me. Uninviting. I don't know if they're specifically avoiding making it "nice", but it definitely needs a gentle touch on the interior design. PLUS SEVENTEEN STARS FOR THE BATHROOMS SMELLING LIKE GUMBALLS.

They had a great milk stout on tap and it was very enjoyable! The bartender was very friendly and made good conversation. I got a nice batch of peanuts as a nice snack to go along with my beer. Other than a brief chat things were pretty uneventful in the taproom since I was the only one there. Towards the end of by beer a few more came in to have some beer but other than that it was dead. It is kind of odd since it was a Saturday. Perhaps it was just too early in the day. I would consider going back whenever I wind up in Longview again since I feel that this is the best brewery in town.

Loved their tiny place when they first started, but watching how it's grown and is thriving speaks to the owner's hard work and vision. It's an extremely welcoming place (even for dogs). It feels like a lot of thought and care has been put into blending "small town favorites" with higher end cuisine. We have liked most everything we've had there. Service is wonderful, smiles all around and a genuine care about the customers experience can be felt. We have yet to attend a game night, although definitely looking forward to it. Good food, good beer (even gluten free options in a can available!) good times. Looking forward to the continued growth in the community.

This was one of the first places we stopped in and we actually went back several times to the point where the staff knew we were the Vegas people haha. At first we did their beer flights. And we also got the burger and fries, too, to eat. Their food is OUTSTANDING! And their beer is even better!!! I was pleasantly surprised by how delicious the food was. And honestly, this beer was incredible. Literally every beer I tried was so good. A few times we came in we sat at the bar and chatted with some of the employees who were soooo nice. They have games, too, so we played some trivia and uno and it was a lot of fun. We seriously had the best time here. The owner even chatted with us a bit and he was so nice, too. One night they even had some guys out front smoking some meats and we struck up a convo with them, too. Honestly, the people in this town are so friendly. Especially the people that work here. They're SO kind. Definitely would frequent this spot if I lived here. But again, we had sooo much fun here and I highly recommend checking out this place.

The only negative experience was with the guy seating us upstairs, he definitely had a bit of an attitude. We ordered a 16" half Almighty and half Margherita pizza along with a Caesar salad. The pizza was really good overall, although they definitely could've put more cheese on the Margherita side because it felt a little skimpy. Still very tasty though. The Caesar salad unfortunately tasted really old, but our server was fantastic, apologized immediately, and removed it from the bill without issue. Great customer service honestly made a big difference. Overall, I'd definitely come back!

I'll start this review off by saying that I love Cathlamet. It's a quaint little historic town…read morewith a rich history and really nice people. I've been visiting here a dozen times a year for four decades. There are a few eateries here. Many seem to come and go although there are a couple that have survived the test of time. RM38 is a newcomer... used to be in a small building with VERY limited hours. I gather their main biz was brewing craft beer for a very small clientele of businesses and the "saloon" was mostly a side hustle to help pay the rent. So I see they moved into new digs down at the marina. I won't take off any stars for the following since this seems to be their new business model: Offering uber-expensive, skimpy portions of not especially tasty food targeted to yuppies who have more money than brains. Suffice to say that you won't see many Bikers hanging out here. The good: Their patio has a nice river view and a pleasant breeze. Sitting out there enjoying a cold one on a hot Summer day is very pleasant. And during the Fall too so long as it's not raining. People complain about the lack of parking which is not an issue when you show up on a motorcycle. But there are LOTS of places to park although you may have to walk a few yards... you poor darlings. Staff is less than amazing but they are always courteous towards me. I suppose I am no more their dream customer than they are my dream hangout. But Bikers tend to be very generous tippers so they might want to keep that in mind. There's one long-established watering hole in Cathlamet but it's a dark, indoor venue. I like it there and it's more of a dive bar with very good food. The thing about Cathlamet is that if you are just an occasional visitor you have many options of where to stop for a meal and/or drink and never get bored. There's also a few good places at the other end of the ferry ride in Westport, Oregon. Hard to say how long RM38 will stay in business. I'm actually surprised that they lasted in their original location for so long considering that they were only open for a few hours during the weekend. It would be great if they quit pretending to be an upscale eatery and instead focused on providing a good value, tasty, filling meal for the money. Again, no minus stars for that but until new management comes along and makes some changes it will just be a pint or two for me and i'm on my way. Of course as always YMMV.
