Hot chocolate
Genesis G.

They've got the best pizza tucked away in a small bar buzzing with skiers and hotel folk. You can customize it as you want. They've got a couple servers and a chef who won't serve you burnt pizza but the perfectly cooked pie. Plus their hot chocolate is delicious for the cold winter days.

So happy they are open again!!!

So happy they are back! I love they have a nice, dry cider on tap now. It is just the coziest bar at Timberline. I got the All The Cheese Pizza today which was super delicious. The crust was perfect, and the sauce and cheese ratio were sumptuous. Now that they are back open, they will definitely be my go-to place for food and drink. Alas, they are closing soon for the season, but I will be back in summer!

We came to Timberline Lodge twice on our Oregon trip and we loved visiting this historic hotel. We had dinner at the Blue Ox Bar and we had some drinks, salad, and pizza. We loved our food and we loved the atmosphere of this little hole in the wall restaurant. The decor is fun and the whole experience was really quite fun. We would definitely come back here again!

Cheese Pizza & Mushroom & Bacon Pizza
Dave B.

We were eager to drink & dine in this iconic bar! We walked in just in the nick of time because it got extremely busy right after we arrived. We think the waiter was slightly overwhelmed (thus contributing to our 3-star rating). For beverages we ordered the Smoky Orchard (very stout but had a nice pear finish) & the rotating cider. For pizzas we ordered the (both 10"/personal sized) Cheese Pizza & Mushroom & Bacon Pizza. Both were decent pizzas but very overpriced ($14 & $20). The crust was crunchy on the edges but the rest of the pie was fairly soft. The cheese was underwhelming (we'd prefer more cheese & maybe stringier & maybe more flavor- like garlic). The mushroom & bacon definitely had more flavor but we would've liked more mushrooms & more bacon, but the arugula gave it a nice earthy spice. It was a fun experience (sitting in what was originally designate a wood storage space for the Timberline Lodge & later converted into a bar), but we'll try another eatery next time we visit.

Peppers and olives

This was my first time eating at the lodge here. I normally grab a warm drink and pack a lunch. This was summer so it was a different beast. Now, this place is a hole in the wall, quite luttereally size wise. I didn't expect much, but respected the minimalist Naples like pizza. When we ordered me assumed they were smaller than they were and the pizza ended up being not as pricey as we thought. We got the 2 vegetarian options as the friends we were with were vegetarian. I like a standard cheese and basil pizza to be honest though. They hand toss their dough, and they do it quite well. Ingredients were fresh and placed well. I would easily say, compared to alot of the fair food up there, this is a safe bet to enjoy.

Divine chicken, bacon, onion, creme fraiche pizza... perfectly cooked!

I'm not going to lie - this place probably had the best pizza I've had in Oregon in the two years I've been here. The next closest was in White Salmon, WA (and that's not even Oregon). The wait staff is nice as can be, and because it is pretty small, they are very attentive. The prices are a little higher, but well worth it for the taste. Smaller menu, so I hope you're not picky. Our 12" pizza was cooked perfectly- crunchy crust, chewy middle, melty cheese, and I didn't even want to pick off the chicken or dip it in ranch which is saying a lot for me. We also split the Caesar salad which was also amazing. Tossed in just the right amount of dressing with lots of parmesan and tasty croutons. Their drinks are also awesome- you really can't miss by going here. We might have to take more trips to Timberline just for the Blue Ox!

My heart beats Blonde, White, and Blue at historic Timberline Lodge thanks to tiny iconic Blue Ox Bar servin' blonde beer, white pizza, and you. Give me liberty or give me pizza! But first, give me a Highland Meadow Blonde Ale. This draft beer is a light starter brew to drink your way off the bunny slopes towards Mt. Hood Brewing Co.'s Ice Axe IPA. Then get a hand-tossed 12" White Rooster Pizza ($15) with Smoked Chicken, Applewood Bacon Bits, Red Onions, Asiago Cheese, and Crème Fraîche. Like Kate Upton, it's creamy white seduction that no man or woman should try to resist. Blue Ox Bar is a tiny hole-in-the-wall that proves you don't have to be big to be a larger-than-life folk hero. Both, Paul Bunyan and I are fans of the Blonde, White, and Blue.

Personal pizza
Holly K.

Timberline is always fun and having never eaten here, thought it would be nice to take my dad here. We went to the Blue Ox thinking of just having coffee at first, but dad saw the onion soup on the menu. The place is small and we got lucky somebody had just gotten up. The decor is classic Timberline with big heavy wood furniture. Nice tile artwork on the wall and yes, it is a blue ox, imagine that. The service was quick and they were really nice. I had ordered a personal pizza, one of the best things I have eaten in a while. The pizza had fresh mozzarella, basil and melted mozzarella, but just enough to hold it one. The crust is super light with good flavor. I wasn't sure what to expect, since I know a lot of people that work at Timberline and had told me these were frozen pizzas, but they have since changed all that. These are handmade and the taste shows it. It was $10 and worth it. Now, my dad on the other hand was not impressed with the onion soup, which was white and creamy, not that traditional brown base. Overall, I would go back.

Our service was incredibly slow and the pizza was burned. We were agitated, but then the manager came out and said the meal was on her.

Special night out with my parents and they wanted fancy old fashioned cocktails and a quiet place…read moreto sip them. We were so lucky to find Teardrop Cocktail Lounge. The front patio was a nice place to enjoy golden hour and our service was exceptional. My dad got a brandy alexander, mom got a piña colada on the rocks and later a pink lady, and I got something like a Negroni (they make Negronis but I asked the server to choose something interesting and the result was absolutely splendid). Cheers to the professionals who helped make our visit even more special.

Nice cocktail bar with quality cocktails and lively fun vibes…read more Highlights: - Nice curved bar that takes up most of the front room. Also a side room - Lots of cocktails on the menu in categorized sections (bright and crisp, rich and robust etc). Also has a 1 liner describing the cocktail as well - Vesper: went off menu with my go to and ones one of the better ones I had! 5 stars - Dream Weaver: enjoyed my first selection with pandan. 4 stars - Can make reservations which I always like to know I have spot. Thought they were only for the side room so was thrilled when we were in the main bar. - Fun music - Has a bites menu if you get hungry which I appreciate Midlights: - Bit dark to see the menu so used the handy candle nearby - Was on the top 50 best of North America bar list but in 2022 so it's been a bit Lowlights: - Doomsday Device: was in the spicy category with hot honey and peppercorn but was more of a mellow fruity cocktail to me where I didn't taste any spice - Didn't get to try any bites as we came from dinner but would have loved to try the 2 bite tostadas
