We came here as a work social Friday night, love the old spools for tables, if you are a motor person, the pictures of past cars motorcycles, the many choices or beers, ciders and a Brazilian limeade, just learned that. Dan and Julie part owners work behind the counter, got here at 3:30, by 5:30 seats are filled, great conversations happen, Julie told me they do a bingo fundraiser for dog shelters, I also heard from regulars they do puppy adoption clinics there. There are quite a few people that I believe come often and have nice sleeves for their beers, They share a bathroom with iwings next door, they have a great seating area for at night on warm days to hang in the sun, plenty of parking. I had an imperial king stout 9.9% vol And I let Dan choose a beer close to a kolsch it's not in season, I will be back a lot more. Plus knowing other co workers that frequent this place and rekindle some friendships. I want to share this place with more friends, taco truck right outside the tap house and order wings next door and bring your food, fill growlers , big beer cans to go. Yes please!!' Prices are great!! I will take pictures and review again, I was just taking everything in and forgot photos read more

I didn't assume much from this place, as it doesn't look like much from the outside, you would think just another brewery in an industrial plaza... but don't judge a book by its cover. The inside of this place is cool a few tables on the one side with the bar and a huge area on the other side with a new bar (it wasn't ready when we were there but it looked like it was close) more seating and an outdoor patio area with a taco food truck. It's decorated inside like a mechanics garage, lots of pictures of airplanes and helicopters, trucks, etc.. the flight boards are cool and definitely hand made (see picture). We tried a flight of beer and a bunch of different styles. The beer was good and the guy pouring the beers was great. Cool place with great service, good beer in a big open airy spot! read more

We were so stoked to find the new location as the beer was delicious and the space great. We were super happy and relaxed, but then the owner came in and was loudly disparaging both state and federal workers, calling them lazy and celebrating recent government cuts. He was both belligerent and loudly supporting political positions which we find disturbing. The sweet bartender tried to temper the situation after I commented about the "no politics or religion at the bar" sign that was posted but said "he's the owner". So, despite amazing potential you lost a couple very local, beer loving folks that were excited about being regulars. I told my husband on the way out that I swung from so happy to disappointed as fast as the recent tariffs were swinging. ‍ read more

Ratchet Brewery was yet another brewery Steve and I went to on a recent trip that we made to Salem, Oregon. Salem seemed to have a cluster of new breweries that opened prior to our visit so we got to try a whole bunch of them. As the name implies Ratchet is kind of a car themed type brewery. The taproom is a lot of fun and there are rooms that you can go into to sit back and relax. The taproom wasn't too terribly busy when we went here and that was nice. Steve got a really good coffee stout here and I got a awesome Pale Ale. We would have tried more but since we were indeed on one of our brewery tours we had to drink small since we were planning to fit in a couple more for the evening. The staff here are really nice and cheerfully answers any questions that you may have. Really a nice place and one of my favorite taprooms that we went to when we visited Salem. read more

Ratchet Brewery - Great taproom and beer at Ratchet Brewery! - Breweries Near Me - Salem, Oregon

Ratchet is my favorite Brewery in the Mid-Willamette Valley. It's filled with comfortable places to sit alone, small or larger groups to talk or play games. The beer is award winning! A variety of options on tap for beer and cider with some great other options of wine and canned seltzers. The atmosphere is relaxed and feels like hanging out in the next door neighbors shop telling stories and watching sports. Decor is all car, racing and mechanics. The food truck outside is some of the best street tacos and more in Salem. Consistently great food. You can also bring in other food if you want. They welcome dogs and cats( yes I said cats on a leash). The owners are really great people who love beer and making friends. read more

One of our favorite spots in town. Always a friendly greeting and fantastic atmosphere. We enjoy the beer and taco truck.

Great beer and great people! I highly recommend this place. And we have met some amazing people there.

Excellent beer all around. Long Ryed IPA won me over when they first opened. If you're a hop head, try their Deuce Coupe IPA. Check out their Vintage Bike Meet-Up the second Tuesday of every month starting in April. read more

Great spot. Good beer, good people. As far a food they only have hot dogs right now but they are working on adding a few things like chicken strips and taquitos in the very near future. read more

The newest addition to the Salem Craft Beer scene and another that started with a home brewer and a dream. Solid line up so far, focusing mainly on distribution but the tasting room is a great place to check them out as well. It is a bit tricky to find but it is all the way at the back of this industrial park complex so just find a parking spot and walk back as far as you can until you spot it. I was really impressed with the Pale and the Porter. The Kolsch and Blond were solid as well but not typically my favorite styles, but if they are yours you will be pleased. read more

Good little brewery with a nice selection of in-house brewed beer. My favorite is the very drinkable Deuce Coupe IPA. The atmosphere is gear-head (car/motorcycle) oriented and the staff is knowledgeable and helpful. This place is laid back and relaxing. read more

What a great idea for a brewery! Not only are the beers phenomenal, but the staff is super friendly too. We samples some beer then ordered some amazing beers. Leslie had the peach session oat ale, and I had the long ryed IPA. We were also astonished by the culinary skills of Matt and Jeff at the Gourmet Hometown Heroes food truck, who were more than willing to make a fantabulous hero sandwich for us that was plant based. Grilled veggies and fresh romaine with avocado and pineapple, crazy right? Crazy great!!! Thanks guys and gals, we'll be back!!! read more

Had a Valentines day dinner with my wife. It was a sold out reservation only dinner. Atmosphere was great, food pairings were creative and flavorful. Their celery root puree with Peruvian scallops absolutely shined. Ribeye was cooked very well and service was attentive eapecially for a 5 course meal. Cheers to the staff, Chef you made a great menu and owners thank you for having the guts to bring a dinner to Silverton that would rival Portland eateries. We will be back. read more

Small, intimate but up and coming brewery. Parking is an issue but not enough to bypass. Friendly folks.

Newest brewery in Salem and as usual its in an awkward out of the way industrial area! This one in particular is hard to find. Eventualy i found it..small place with a few parking spaces at the end of an industrial complex. Couple of tables and a few seats..right next to the brewhouse Nice wee bar and some delightful, kind service. Only five of their own beers and i only had the porter which i have to say was very good for a start up. No food. Like most places guess you can take your own in. Seems dog friendly also..no minors. Overall nice relaxed place with nice people and good beer. read more

This new brewery is a good place to have some really good local beers. They just started but man.... they have some really good ones. Really friendly owners. They don't have food yet but your welcome to order food and take it there. Coming back for sure #supportlocalbeers read more

Beer and service are good and love the kids games area. Unfortunately the food is high priced and not good-we have tried several times but it is greasy and overcooked. read more
