It has an odd entrance that takes you through the brewhouse floor before entering the dining area. They of course have several beers on tap and a pretty nice menu. The hotel folks raved about their pizza, but I went for a burger. It was excellent along with a very fresh side salad. I also opted for a cocktail, the Porch Swing. It was made to perfection had just a hint of a spicy kick to it. Amber was my server and also made the drink. She was awesome, friendly, helpful, and made a seriously good drink. Thankfully I was walking back to the hotel. This was just one of many fantastic stops on my trip and certainly would come here again if in town.

They came and refilled the dog bowl with ice cold water, and our dogs loved that. Service was a little slow, but everyone was nice. I got the pulled pork sandwich with fries and bbq sauce. It was sooooooo salty. Everything. The fries, the pork, the sauce. So much salt. Dipping in my husbands ranch mellowed the salt a bit. My husband got the chicken pesto burger and salad. He said it was good, though Costco's was better. lol. But he ate it all. The dogs got their bowl split in half. There was a bunch of peanut butter, chicken, cucumber, and cabbage. The picky dog devoured it all but the cabbage, the dog who'll eat anything ate only the chicken and PB. Really funny. But they were big sized. I'd go again, just being understanding that they're heavy handed with the salt.

I ordered the sliders, which weren't my favorite, but the sweet potato fries more than made up for it -- perfectly salty and crisp. I wish I'd had time to sample some of their Wood Family Spirits, which looked tempting on the menu. Overall, a comfortable local spot with good vibes and great fries -- I'd give it another try next time I'm in The Dalles.

It's cast iron facade and brick kept it from burning down... and its captivating story saved it from getting torn down. The food options vary with the kitchen staffing. There is a classic bar with a pool table, booth seating, and a patio. Music might be coming. The pizza is good and the cocktails superb... sipping a "Lost in Mexico" while checking out the dozens of almost as old western oils covering the walls is something special. Baldwin's is a direct link to the past depicted in those paintings. The atmosphere here is original.

I visited the Last Stop Saloon with my father recently, and we had an incredibly disappointing…read moreexperience due to our bartender, Heather. The poor service started right when we ordered. I asked for a Dos Equis, and Heather looked at me and blankly asked, "What is that?" When I explained it was a Mexican beer, she snapped, "We don't have that." Meanwhile, I could clearly see another patron at the end of the bar drinking a Modelo. I pointed it out and just asked for a Modelo instead, which she finally served. The real issue, however, was a shocking lack of sanitation later in our meal. My dad ordered the Reuben soup, which came with a side of Thousand Island dressing. He enjoyed it, so a few minutes later, I ordered a cup for myself. When Heather brought out my soup, it didn't come with its own dressing. Instead of pouring a fresh side, she reached over, grabbed my dad's used, leftover Thousand Island dressing, pushed it over to me, and said, "Oh, he looks like he didn't touch this. You can go ahead and use it." I was completely stunned and disgusted. Passing used, pre-served food side-dishes between customers is a massive health code violation, regardless of whether we are family or not. If this is how they handle hygiene in plain sight at the bar, I dread to think what is happening back in the kitchen. We will definitely not be returning.

Located right on 2nd Street in The Dalles, it's a great place to stop if you're wandering the various tasting rooms and bare pubs in the area. Since it was my first time here, I did the flight. The first wine, the Locomotive, had me with the very light taste with hints of honey and papaya. Not one to typically drink whites, I was surprised at how much I enjoyed it. On a warm or even hot day, this would be perfect. As I made my way through the tasting, I found that I was enjoying several of their wines. The High Tension, their club favorite, was a full bodied blend of Syrah, Merlot and Barbera. A perfect everyday drinking wine And good for parties where you need a wine that pleases many palettes.The other standout for me was the Barbera. Very smooth, full body and slightly jammy. Since I'm in a Barbera club at Cascade Cliffs, I left with the Locomotive. I'm looking forward to a warm spring day to sit in my deck and enjoy with friends. The tasting room inside is small and simple. A picnic tables and seats out in the paved area out front, nice on a sunny day. I'll definitely be back.
