This particular McMenamins has cool sink art connected with pipes on the wall and pipes in the bathrooms. Plenty of seating but difficult parking as it is street parking only and it is all metered parking. You end up parking on side streets unless you get lucky. There is plenty of seating and two levels with tables and booths. The prices of burgers and tots seems pretty expensive to me, but we did stumble upon happy hour and got a little break, else it's mostly $18-$20 burgers. I happened to get a discounted $5 beer they were advertising. The food was good, and our service was great. read more

Super cute right by OSU campus. Bring coins for the parking meters. Paid $0.05 for 3 minutes. Ran in, got the stamp and ran out. Wished we had more time! Love the wall of sinks! read more

Ordered the veggie sliders, it was nice that they could accommodate a vegetarian. We wanted to sit upstairs but the server said that section was closed. He said we could sit up there, but said "I'm not gonna run the food up there tho, you'd have to come get it down here" despite us being his only table. We ended up dining downstairs. The sliders came and the sauce was good but there wasn't sauce. There wasn't much to them, no tomato or lettuce. We love McMenimans, but this was probably the most disappointing location on our quest. Still fine for a quick stop and decent bite, but not quite to the typical McMenimans excellence. read more

So it is OSU game day in Corvallis and that means lunch at McMenamins. This is our goto lunch spot before the game. Today was a great experience. First of all our waiter Elena was amazing. First of all the place was packed and extremely busy. With that in mind she did a fantastic job. Took the time to take our order with a smile on her face. I even commented to the manager on the way out, what a good job she did. I ordered the McMenamins Irish Stout, what a great beer. Okay I had two... For lunch I ordered the Kincaid Rueben, with tots of course. The sandwich was great. The ambience is always comfortable and fun. There was 12 in our group, and we all had a great time. And by the way the Beavers beat the Cougers that day!!! read more

This was their bangers and mash plate. The irish soda bread with a thick slab of butter on top was surprisingly cakey and comforting. the bangers and mash could have done with more sauce, given the amount of mashed potato's, but either way pretty decent. just a bit dry of a dish. read more

It was a first time at a Mcmenamins for a couple of us. Went for happy hour and got a couple cheeseburgers which were good. Two Caesar salads which were pretty basic. We would have liked less croutons. They covered the surface and made up a good chunk of the bulk. Soft pretzel bites were good. They were fluffy and light. Would get those again. We got a few ciders and blackberry was by far the tables favorite. It was slow and mellow when we went which I prefer and our waiter was nice. I didn't go in with high expectations so I was pleasantly surprised it was better than I thought it would be. Would go again for a quick bite. read more

My girlfriend and I visited McMenamins on Monroe for stamping yesterday (10/4/25). Although we did not dine in, we did have an order of appetizers for take out. The gentleman working in the front was awesome, very welcoming and accommodating. Each server that passed us was so kind to check in to see if we needed anything. This place has a lot of unique art, as with all McMenamins. But the staff was the greatest. I felt the need to really call that out. We had a great experience here! read more

This place is way bigger than the average strip mall locations. Super fun and cute decor. Great story behind the wall of sinks. Grabbed a pizza and some drinks while passing thru town and watched some football. Parking is street parking only so it can be a challenge, today we hit lucky with a spot right in front. read more

I love the uniqueness of McMenamins! This is the second location I've had the opportunity to visit and really enjoyed the drinks and service

It's a late night, and you want some good food, drink and a resemblance of an adult spot... McMenamins is to the rescue! You'll get more food for less money... best part After 10pm it's a late happy hour Things to stay away from. Tater Tots are overcooked BlackBerry cider (not sweet) Fun place, quirky but homey. Solid 4 stars! read more

This was my first time at a McMenamins Property. I really enjoyed the decor and design of the building - it was super unique! However, the food and service left some to be desired. Service was very slow for a restaurant that was at maybe 45% capacity when we came in - don't know if it was due to staffing or something else, but it was noticeably slow to have orders taken, food brought out, and even to receive the check. I did enjoy the food, but none of it blew me away. I was very surprised by the uniqueness of the sauces and thought those were very good - but there was nothing about my meal that was super memorable, I hope to try another location for a different experience soon. read more

Ah McMenamins... I am not a hater, but I'm also not your biggest fan. Your beer is ok. Your food is decent. Service is often slow. Your restaurant is clean enough, but has kind of a perma-greasy feel to it. Your spirits aren't my favorite but they aren't terrible either. I have a soft spot in my heart for McMenamins on Monroe, but it's rarely ever my first choice when eating out. All in all this spot is average. read more

McMenamins on Monroe - This guy is having a good time at McMenamins on Monroe. - Bars Near Me - Corvallis, Oregon

I've gone to this location for about 3 years now. The food has always been expensive, but tasty & filling, so I'd go here every now and then with friends or family as a treat. However, the last two visits have been disappointing. The first visit they forgot to charge us for our two pizzas we ordered to go, and after paying (I reminded them) we got home to find that the bottoms of our pizzas were COVERED in flour. We ended up trying to tap off as much flour as possible over a trash can, but it didn't stop each bite from being soured with a coat of baked flour. The second visit earlier today, we ordered a salad, fish and chips, and a gyro with Cajun tots. The salad came without dressing, they forgot to give us any sauces for the fries/tots, both the fries and tots did not taste fresh, and the tots had so much Cajun seasoning you couldn't see the fried potato underneath some. Needless to say, we won't be returning anytime soon. read more

Great place and good service when we went! They even have frozen coffee drinks now. Good for summer time!

Been here a couple times and the food is just okay, the servers have been really nice, and the inside is clean and has a good feel to it. I wouldn't say I like this place but I wouldn't mind coming here to eat every now and then. Overall not too bad. read more

McMenamins is always reliable for high quality food, even though it's a bit expensive. I would give it 5 stars, but recently I had an issue with their spinach artichoke dip. The spinach was obviously from a can (gross), there was not a trace of artichoke. The dip was mozzarella and... mayonnaise! Really bad. read more

Nice legit pub in the Corvallis area, you go here for hearty pub grub, beer and cocktails and watch the Beavs! No complaints about the food, the server was nice, they got the Beavs game on properly, etc... One thing to avoid is the truffle fries - i though would be freshly fired fires tossed in truffle olive oil and herbs.... It was just fries with a side of truffle aioli to dip in and it wasn't very flavorful. Other than that you will have a good time. read more

The Mcmenamin pubs can be in any kind of random places. Some are located in more strip mall settings while others are in locations that are more historic or unique. The Mcmenamins on Monroe isn't exactly in a strip mall but it is in a building that could be considered a mix use of business and residential. I was out to get a lot of stamps on this trip for my Mcmenamins passport and so I had it all managed to eat lightly at each place before moving on. I have to say the very light meal that I had at this location while on this trip was my favorite (I was going to six Mcmenamin pubs total in one trip). At this location I had a great tofu and ginger soup which was just fantastic! The waitress was very friendly and fun to chat with as we discussed all of the other company locations to explore. The decor at this location was a lot of fun but the main highlight was that soup and hope it's a frequent menu item here because it was just fantastic! read more

Visited past few weekends after dropping son off for summer internship. Amazing staff, amazing service, Xtra Ranch!Great job Corvallis!

*UPDATE: I was contacted by GM Scott M. today to touch base about our passport prize redemption. I greatly appreciate his response, call, and his efforts. I've upgraded my review to reflect his help. Thank you Scott! I really appreciate your time and I apologize for losing phone service near the end of our conversation. Super disappointed while at this location today. We don't travel through Corvallis very often but we stopped in here to grab our new passport stamps, have lunch and use our free appetizer prizes from our previously completed passports. Since we were also getting our stamps to complete this location for our new passports we asked to use both prizes at once. We've always been told that we can redeem our prizes ANYTIME. Our server told us he wouldn't let us claim both prizes in one visit. I read through all of the rules in the front pages of our passports and no where did I find anything that says we can't claim more than 1 prize in a single visit. I feel like we've completed the tasks to earn these prizes, paid for the passports, and are now being told we can't claim our prizes unless we come back multiple times. Other locations have allowed us, and several friends, to claim previously earned prizes and new prizes at the same time so we were really surprised when the server refused to redeem them. The appetizers we did order were nicely prepared and served hot so I give 2 stars to the kitchen staff alone. We skipped ordering lunch and decided to visit another location in Eugene ins We'll only be back for a quick stamp visit for all our future passports. read more

Heading home from the Coast, Corvallis wasn't too far off the path, so we swung by to check out another McMenamins we hadn't been to yet. Each time I find a new one, I'm more and more convinced that they have one of the best business models anywhere! Consistent service! Delicious menu items! Great beer selections! McMenamins on Monroe did not disappoint, for sure. Parking was easy; there were open spots along Monroe, and more on the side street. We had our pups with us again, so we opted for outdoor seating. They've done a great job making the street front an inviting area to dine. Apparently, university students are big dog fans, as ours got plenty of attention from passersby. Our server was awesome! They seemed a bit short-staffed, but Celeste was very efficient, made some excellent beer recommendations, and was very friendly - even brought out some water for the pups. I ordered the Fireside Roasted Turkey sandwich, which was excellent! My partner opted for the El Diablo, which she enjoyed. IMO, the Raspberry Stout was just a bit too raspberry-esque, tasting like one of those hard candies you get at Christmas time; could have been muted just a bit. The "I'm so Glad Nitro Cream Ale" was fantastic, however. With the constant flow of people stopping to greet the pups, I got distracted, and forgot to get my Passport stamped. Oh, well - great excuse to come back again on my next trip through! read more

I came to McMenamins with a friend for lunch and was somewhat disappointed. Upon arriving, there was some confusion with the staff as to who was seating us and where we would be seated. The poor service also showed itself at the end of our meals, when we had to wait quite some time before we could get our checks. As for the food, I ordered the Portland Dip and had mixed feelings about it. The main problem was the turkey, which had a cardboard warmed-over flavor. However, the garlic jus was delicious and saved the sandwich. read more

This is not a stand alone location yet it found it's way to make itself unique. It's got the McMenamins quirkiness and you still get the yummy food.

The servers are attentive and helpful when trying to make a decision on what to order. ..... ... . .... read more

DO NOT EXPECT YOUR DIETARY RESTRICTIONS TO BE MET!!!! WORST RESTAURANT EXPERIENCE EVER!! My sister ordered the vegan mystic burger and was served a regular cheeseburger, after being told it was the vegan burger. Our sever didn't apologize or comp our meal. He seemed unbothered by his careless mistake, and thought offering her a free drink would fix it. My sister has been vegan for 15+ years, a free drink doesn't fix that. They deleted our google review. Unacceptable. read more

Pretty average. 2 stars for food but service was great so 3 stars. I really wanted to try the Trippy cider but they were out so I had to settle for a G&T. Which was okay, pretty standard. For food I ordered the chicken mini tacos. And indeed, they were mini. Happy hour is cheap at least. The tots are good. read more

Went on a Saturday night. The place was mostly empty, but it still took nearly ten minutes to be seated. Our waitress was nice, but the food was supremely disappointing. I got the fish tacos, which was $22 if I remember correctly. The side of chips were stale, as were the tortillas. The dish came drenched in an unpleasant ranch/mayonnaise sauce. I was able to scrape most of it off, but was left with about 6-8 bites of fish, for $22. My husband got a burger and tater tots. The burger was decent, but the tater tots were so greasy they left us both with a mild stomach ache. read more

I came here with an OSU staff member, my alumni son and my toddler granddaughter for lunch mid-week. The wait staff were friendly and tolerant of the little one as she and I explored upstairs where there were no guests. It was a cool area (including a pool table) that would make a nice space for a private group. The other adults had burgers and fries that looked sooo good! I settled on the African Chicken Peanut soup and, wow, was I'm glad I did. Fabulous! The child's meal came with carrot sticks and cucumber slices that my granddaughter devoured. She was less interested in the chicken strips but I liked them As with most McMenamin restaurants the artwork depicted some of the local history and was fun to see. The wall of sinks was quirky and colorful. All in all a pleasant outing. read more

I continue my McMenamins adventure. This restaurant features a cabin as a bar and lots of sinks for decoration on the walls. With two level this is perfect for parties and college town nights. I had my usual burger and as always perfect in every way for me. Also this month has burgers as specials make sure you come week to week to taste different varieties. The service is always good and friendly. The cider pomegranate was excellent if you love cider. I would come here again but I have to finish my passport first. Note: make sure to bring you passport to stamp. Parking available in the street and is metered. read more

This Mcmenamins right across the street from OSU (gross, Go Ducks) centerd in a block of chain stores did not fail to surprise (and delight) us with a wicked fun atmosphere and decor. The "wall of sinks" was wacky and zany and is a must see. Plenty of room for pool in the upstairs section. The atmosphere was eclectic and fun. We loved it. Our server was polite and attentive, if a bit inexperienced, but she made up for that by checking on us often. We each had the weekly burger month special and were both left disappointed. The guacamole burger was meh :/ at best. The sesame seed bun was the strongest flavor. Not bad, but not very good either. Cajun tots, Ruby and Terminator were good as always. We also spent some time playing some board games they had on the bar. Overall a pleasant surprise. Would definitely visit again. read more

Urinal plumbing is serious business; and intensely complex. That's why it should only be undertaken by college-trained engineers. As a WSU engineering grad I can only say "Go Beavs" on this artful yet technically efficient design of the water supply to the men's urinals. (With a nod and a wink to the McMenamin Brothers.) Awesome place and a great hangout for the Beaver Nation. Wish we had one in Pullman (hint, hint). read more

If you get out of class before six, rush over for happy hour. That's what we did. McMenamins is a great place to meet friends, have a meeting, or take your family. The food is delicious and if you're willing to wait for a table during the busy time, it's worth it. Upstairs has pool tables and some larger tables for group seating. I would highly recommend sitting here if it is open. The menu changes every so often, but you can be pretty sure that everything is good. Staples to the McMenamins menu that I appreciate include the Brewer's Salad, the Tavern Salad, the Captain Neon Burger, and the Communication Breakdown Burger. Recently, I've discovered that they've got some pretty incredible soups as well. If sweet potato fries with chipotle sauce is on the menu, try 'em. And if you're there for happy hour, you've got to order the cajun tots. If you're a McMenamins junkie like me, I'd also recommend shelling out the cash for the McMenamins passport. Not only do you have the opportunity to get a bunch of free food and prizes, but you can make a game of eating out at McMenamins restaurants which is always a fun idea. read more

The best time to enjoy this branch of McMenamins is when OSU is not in session. Stopped by two weeks before school began, the place was empty and enjoyable. Food is OK, nothing memorable to write about. Service was friendly and efficient. The decor is unique to say the very the least, espiecially the right hand side wall with all the sinks. Would recommend only when school is not in session... read more

This is what McMenamins is supposed to be like: friendly (but a bit slow) service, unique and eye-catching decor' and decent food. I love the wall full o' sinks and the creative plumbing art in the restroom. They have a decent menu to choose from and the prices are pretty standard for McMenamins. Now back to the service for a minute, it seems that the wait staff are trying to do a good job, but they do seem very short staffed, which makes for relatively slow service, especially when waiting for your bill. read more

Generally good, with attentive service. Unique decor, with pool tables upstairs. Unlike the (few) other McMenamins that we have been to, this location has pizza. It usually is very good, but you will never get the exact same pizza twice. They have what they advertise, but the various items vary in amount. The biggest concern with the pizzas is you have to be careful...we have found that they often come out undercooked, to the point of almost being raw dough at times. When cooked, they are among the best in town! Menu is extensive enough, and typical for McMenamins. Pricing is reasonable. Wait times are usually minimal, however with OSU being across the street, it can get busy. read more

Service was good but of our party of four, 2 of the meals were quite sub-par one of which was my own meal. Wife also pointed out several times how dirty the floor was as was the raised spot next to our booth where she laid her purse. She said she was going to take a wet wipe to her purse as soon as we got home. Otherwise, ambience was nice. read more
