I always love marking a brewery off of my "to try" list. But as the craft brewing industry…read morecontinues to shrink that factor is also contributing to my shrinking brewery list. But it feels much more satisfying, rewarding and accomplishing as it obviously would by trying a beer from a brewery that I have been wanting to try... which leads us to one of my latest brewery experiences which is Silver Falls Brewery. Steve and I had one beer from this brewery and we liked it pretty well. We got the Oregon Sunshine Hazy IPA which was a better IPA drinking session than on previous occasions. In short it was a nice, refreshing one that hit the spot nicely. The elements in the flavors to look for are citrus, a juicy quality and a hoppiness presence. This IPA despite being a hazy also was bright in flavor as well as hue. A very refreshing IPA and I am so very glad I got to try a beer from Silver Falls Brewery!

Although Silver Falls Brewery is primarily and burger, fries and salad type of establishment, it…read moredoes have a few surprises rolled up its sleeves. For example, there aren't many places in Silverton where diners can order étouffée, gumbo or jambalaya. Well, look no further as one of SFB's "bowl" dishes rotates between these three Cajun favorites. In addition, the menu also offers a number of vegan, vegetarian and gluten free options for guests looking for something to suit their dietary needs. What I love most about Silver Falls Brewery is the many seating options. The restuarant has balcony seating, as well as an outdoor courtyard with a fair number of tables. In addition, the interior dining room has several large family-style tables that can accomodate large groups. This establishment does a fair amount of business during the spring and summer months when tourist activity is heavy, yet they somehow manage to swiftly seat, serve, and care for guests without compromising on service. The drinks are great, service comes with a smile, and I'm here for supporting local businesses that always shine brightly.

The Gallon House - August 24, 2025…read more We came in for an early lunch on a Sunday at about 11:45. Our server was very friendly and attentive. She got our drinks out right away and took our order. We sat on the outdoor patio , which has nice tables with umbrellas. We split the quesadilla appetizer, which was very tasty. It came with a lime aioli as well as a tasty pico de gallo. The peach cider was very tasty as was the Breakside Brewery Wonderjack IPA beer. The only disappointment about sitting on the outside patio is it's on a busy corner and there was a lot of street noise. Other than that it was very nice.

Reviews made it seem divey but lights weren't turned down low enough for to meet that criteria imo. A bit too cold/wet for us to eat/drink outside but sounds like that might be the place to be on a nicer nite. Menu was pretty extensive for the bar, maybe a bit pricey for what you get -- but the $2 draft beers on Thursday nites was a good deal that made up for that pretty well. I thought my turkey reuben was great; husband liked his steak wrap too (as seen in other reviews' photos comes out on a plate completely unadorned) and ate a bunch of my cajun fries. There was basketball on TV, a pool table, music. All in all a good place to start the vacation and enjoy a decent welcome to town.

We walked in and stood there for a while and after there was no acknowledgement, 'hello, welcome in' I asked if we could sit anywhere. The bartender was also the server, and I don't know if it was an off day, but warm and fuzzy she was not. It was dark inside, and seemed to be the spot for the locals, as there was a 'regular' talking loudly. Tipsy? Attention seeker? Who knows, but it was not the vibe we were looking for. We seated ourselves, placed our orders and ate while visiting before asking for 'to go' boxes. My friend wanted to play the slots, so I stood up and motioned to ask if we should just leave our things at the table (we hadn't been given the check). Afterwards, I went back and sat down and my friend cashed in her voucher. I joined her at the bar and asked for our check before we left. Will I return? Maybe, it could've been an off day, but it didn't seem like it. Food was good but didn't offset the experience.

There's several good saloons in Mt Angel which is not surprising. The burb is sort of the beer capitol of Oregon. 30 miles south of Portland and 20 miles north of Salem so handy enough to get to.
