    The menu.
    Leslie C.

    Super disappointed. Love the venue that why we came back. Love their outside porch overlooking the River. They added a food menu - pasta at $30 a plate. I think expensive. Especially when the pasta is undercooked on both our plates. Rigatoni and bucatini. One meatball on the rigatoni. Although I had 10 clamshells I ate 6 clams and 3 shrimp. Beer is ok. They have wine cider and seltzer and good drink options/selection. The staff today was non personality. Maybe tired? Corrected me on annunciation of bucatini. Didn't ask if we like our meal just if we were done. Any which way. Too expensive especially for undercooked food lack of protein and lack luster order at the bar service. Won't be coming back nor recommending.

    New tasting room with great acoustics and warm ambience.

    What a fun little spot in Cathlamet. Locals and visitors flock to the RM38 to enjoy drinks and socialize. The new location (just across the marina) has modern flair and a whole different vibe than the old production facility did. Come in and enjoy a warm evening in the rain or a cool summer evening out on the veranda.

    Great spot to sit and enjoy the Columbia with some solid brews. Beautiful space with friendly staff

    The back of the building with summer patio all lit up.  Perfect view of the Columbia during the daytime.

    Ended up randomly here on bingo night. It's such a quiet, friendly, fun place. It felt welcoming from the minute we walked through the door. The choices vary, I don't drink beer, tried Prosecco and loved it. The waitress/bartender was amazing. No food, just snacks. Will definitely come back.

    Cool brewery family and dog friendly with plenty of choice to choose from. Located along the water plenty of seating on a nice summer day. Definitely worth a stop.

    Having a cold one after driving the logging roads.

    Really like this place. I just wish it would open about 3 hours earlier to accommodate us day drinkers!

    Tasty beers at River Mile 38 Brewing Co.

    I have been wanting to go to River Mile 38 Brewing Co. ( formerly Drop Anchor Brewery) for a while. The reason why I haven't been here sooner is that it is kind of in a remote location. The set up isn't too bad and the location is pleasant. We were here when it was dark but it looks like there cold be a very pleasant view here to enjoy during the day. The beer is decent. I had the Six Spot Export Lager which was pretty good and Steve had the Scarlet Peach Ale but felt that it was a little too sweet. They have an impressive swag inventory and I liked the t-shirts with the mermaid logo on them but there is not a wide range of sizes to pick from. so many shirts either came in small or XXL. I managed to find a different shirt that I liked in XL but they could stand to replenish all of their sizes more and perhaps have it organized a bit differently because I was digging through all those shirts for quite a while. The staff here is very friendly and they bring a small town feel to the place and the other customers bring that same vibe here as well. I'm guessing a fair amount of them are locals and in that aspect it was refreshing.

    Very dog friendly

    Nice staff and good selection of beers. The town isn't really touristy and the customers here are mostly locals but everyone was friendly enough and they are more than fine with folks bringing their dogs. I wouldn't count on eating food from here. It's just snacks like trail mix but you can get Mexican food at the cart nearby or pizza up the hill and eat it there while enjoying a shandy.

    The craft bear is beyond delicious and diverse. I would recommend it to any and all. Only thing I would change is more hours.

    We haven't been here since the renovations, so it was a pleasant surprise at how nice, cozy and…read moreclean the place was. We stopped in on a lazy Wednesday afternoon and it wasn't crowded at all. The waitress was friendly and quick. She brought water and menus, and came back to take our order in timely fashion. I ordered the Turkey Bacon Swiss special with tater tots, my husband got the Patty Melt with tots. The food came quickly and was nice and hot. The sandwiches were grilled perfectly and chock full of meat! I could only eat half of my sandwich, it was filling. The tots were crisp and crunchy, but soft in the middle, as tots should be! My husband said the Patty Melt was delicious. He was pleased with the quality of the burger inside. We were both well pleased! The bathrooms were also very spacious and clean! That's always a good sign, if you ask me! There is also a nice parking area right out in front of the restaurant. Don't hesitate to swing on into the Duck Inn if you happen to be going by. It'll make your belly happy.

    Super disappointed. This place has the potential to be great in that location but it's just not.if…read morethey made some effort to make a little atmosphere it would be awesome, maybe a few creative dishes. It's mostly fried food. We ordered prime rib and it was thin, very little fat on it so minimal flavor and way overcooked. They said they basically cooked it in the au jus which is not a good way to cook prime rib. It was clearly not a high grade cut. I want this place to be good so bad! I really wish they would seek some guidance to make this place a success. It could really be a destination if they put a little effort into it

    Be prepared, regular people. The main description that comes to mind for Five Dons is "old boy…read morejoint". Deep in industrial Longview near the most massive lumber mill I've ever seen! 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.

    This is probably my second favorite brewery that I went to when I was exploring the Longview area…read moreup to Centralia for craft beer. 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.
