The patio ambiance and vibes are chill tucked down out of the wind. Good gluten free rice flour pizza. It was thin crust which is typical but they didn't overcook it which is very common. Dog friendly Good food Good music Good burger The fry sauce was delicious! read more

Excellent beer, food, service and all the things! Would definitely come back and bring our family!

Love this place! Good food , good beer, great atmosphere and service. Great vibes overall. 100% recommend.

Good ambiance. Service is horrible. Haven't had the food. Just beer. And it's good. Not a bad place to hang out if you have loads of time. Cause you're not getting service prompt. read more

We're staying at a B&B for the night. One of the perks was 6 free beer samples. The beer was really good. We had a Margherita pizza and wings. The pizza was good, not great because the mozzarella was bland and needed salt. The wings though... Holy crap! They were big, tender and yummp. I got the hot ones. They were TOO hot. Just a nice tangy flavor. The acoustic musician was very personable and right in key. She was very laid back and inviting. She reminded be of Rickie Lee Jones. The outside seating was very nice and the weather was perfect. The restroom was clean. The ONLY thing that would be an improvement would be wait service tableside. As it is you have to go to a window to order, go back if you want something else. They do bring it to your table, but it's still not a great system when there's a line. read more

Walking Man Brewing - So True!! - Breweries Near Me - Stevenson, Washington

A truly average place. The beer was ok; not bad, not good. But ok. My burger was completely flavorless--like they forgot to salt and pepper the patty. The fries were far too salty to eat (but, yes, putting some on the burger helped). This place used to be far better; I suspect it's been sold in the last couple of years. If I were you, I'd go somewhere else read more

Tasty pub burger, really good fries, loved the Japanese rice lager. A great first experience; I shall return

Extremely tasty food and I found every single beer on their list to be EXCELLENT. I truly can't recommend this place enough. If you are near Stevenson this is a can't miss! read more

Food was fine, beer was fine. Service was slow. It was fairly busy, with most of the tables outside filled but it took 1.25 hours to get one burger and one pretzel. I'm not saying don't show up, but if you do, be prepared to wait. read more

Walking Man Brewing - Good smoked porter. - Breweries Near Me - Stevenson, Washington

My wife and I took advantage of the nice weather and rode out to Stevenson, WA. We stopped at Walking Man Brewing for beer and food. Their craft beer is incredible! The food is good and the price is honest for what you get. The downside and it is a big one for me, is the wait time to get your food order. We waited 55 minutes to get our food! Hell, just round it up and say an hour. If they would have told us when we placed our order that the wait would be an hour, we probably would have gone to another place but they didn't say anything except thank you. I bet you were thankful! I gave a generous tip for poor service. I tip when I order, wished I had that option back. Two sandwiches and an order of fries delivered to our table an hour later does not warrant a 20% tip. Like I said, I tipped after ordering. Won't be doing that again if we return. Overall, if you have A LOT of time and want to enjoy the great outdoors drinking some good craft beers, check them out. If you are wanting food to be brought to your table in a reasonable amount time, I would say go somewhere else. The two star rating is solely because of the wait time for the food. IF we were told about the wait time upfront, the rating would have been higher. read more

Came here after a few hikes in the area to warm up and chow down! Fantastic food and great service from out waitress Katie. Here's what I had in order of my favorites; 1. Harvest pizza w/ vegan cheese. I am lactose-intolerant so I love when I find places that cater to dietary needs. The pizza was incredible and the dough was so fluffy! 2. Kale salad! Also a fan. They did not go light on the blueberries and hazelnuts in the salad. 3. Truffle fries 4. BBQ chicken wings. We got this as an appetizer and it was none of our favorites. The sauce was very mild and we wished it had a little extra spice. Beer selection was also fun! They had an amazing beer called homo erectus, a strong malt with a bit of a bitter after taste. Overall, lovely spot with a very comfortable vibe and delicious food! read more

Walking Man Brewing - Banh mi burger, large fries with Cajun, classic burger - Breweries Near Me - Stevenson, Washington

The good: They have a wonderful outdoor setup, with a stage, and we really enjoyed the music. The atmosphere is comfortable and really great outside. So, why the two stars?: If you look at any of the not so good reviews, it's almost always the same issue. For some reason the flow of food and drink continues to need help. As mentioned in other reviews, if when ordering they would say, "This literally may take over an hour, and we expect you to bus your own table, clean it, and come back into the line for any other beers, Then people could stop at that point and make a decision to continue, or just go elsewhere. During my hour+ wait for a pizza and burger, I would watch people in a line of 5-6, wait... then order a beer, and then you don't get the beer, there is still some kind of wait for poured beer? I left beer line with 4 people in front of me (4), I went and ate entire pizza. When I got done, the guy who was behind me, was now ordering his beer. )-: Separate issue, both pizzas, the crust was as uncooked as like a pancake? Really soft and mushy. French fries delicious. If you could sneak your own drinks in and just listen to the great music, it would be an awesome venue. When owner writes that it would be good to get feedback at the time of the issue, this doesn't really give the 'time' lost, back to customers. I would say if you can't hire enough people to get the mission accomplished, then probably just close the business, as it doesn't function well. )-: read more

Summertime favorite $$ We've been here twice so far in the past couple months. Every time we make a trip to the gorge, we stop by here to get a beer. It's always been busy the times we've come. Outdoor seating is shielded by the high winds, and it's super popular because everyone wants to sit outside. Inside is small and cute. Service is good and friendly. We love the seasonal ramblin' raspberry beer! Light and perfect for those sunny, warm summer months. We've also had their pretzel, truffle fries, and pizzas. The pretzel was a little too hot when served and greasy/oily. The truffle fries are great and we liked the veggie and three cheese pizza. Lots of cheese on the veggie pizza! We bought a growler of the ramblin' raspberry for $28. Yep, we love it that much, haha. Cute town with things to do nearby, hiking and shopping. read more

Service was good for the beer but if took 45 minutes for a chicken sandwich and salad that should have taken 20 minutes tops. The sandwich and salad weren't anything to write home about. Ambience was cool. Bottom line is that the kitchen needs more staff and this place could be excellent. Pretty disappointed with the experience so I don't think I'll go back. If the owner reads yelp reviews, you should get more kitchen staff. 1-2 more or maybe 1 more cook otherwise people like me will never come back and waste time waiting forever for their order. Do better! read more

Great food and the stout we tried was excellent. The Korean-fusion cuisine we had was the best, juiciest sandwich/burger combos I've ever had. They've won awards and live up to the hype. read more

Visiting Columbia River Gorge area on an RV trip to Glacier National Park from wine county California. The pub had the vibe of a local, friendly place. Staff was amazing. we both got the spicy chicken sandwich and it was excellent. pub fries crunchy but not hard or greasy. Hubby had one of the stout beers and said it was great. I had a nice chilled rose which was very nice. highly recommended! read more

Great place to grab a brew and a burger. Very friendly atmosphere. Everyone seemed to know each other. I felt like one of the locals here. Burger was great and beer was better. Great service with a smile. Made sure we were taken care of. Wish they had the pretzel that was on menu but went for the garlic fries. Sometimes you can't have it all. Would highly recommend for a quick stop in. read more

Amazing on so many levels. Very dog friendly, first time I've seen self service water w cups on top, dog bowls on the Bottom. Beer is most excellent and paired it w none other than.... corn dogs. So good. Best brewery experience in quite Some time. read more

Great food, beer, and atmosphere! We had the taster tray of 10 beers and they were all great! We also had the kale salad and spicy Hawaiian pizza, both were great! They did a nice job following CDC guidelines, and had a beautiful outdoor space! read more

Came here after a hike. They have some nice outdoor seating. I wish there had been umbrellas or something to help with the glare, but the sunshine was nice. Their pretzel and beer cheese were delicious. I loved how the beer cheese had a nice mustardy bite. I got a bowl of the salmon chowder which was delightful. Lots of lovely chunks of salmon in a rich, creamy broth. I definitely felt super happy with it and was envious of the folks who got the bread bowl. I also really liked my beer and appreciated the broad range of hoppy beers they had. I've been told sometimes food can be a bit slow, as they have a small kitchen, but we got our stuff pretty fast. Great place to stop by for a beer and food after a long hike! read more

We had a long day at a music festival and decided to stop off here. I was amazed as I walked down the stairs to an open patio, surrounded by trees and brush. I love being around nature so this was already looking great. We found a spot easily and sat down. Once seated, our waitress was prompt and gave us menus and water. I had a hard time deciding because all of the food sounded so good! I finally decided on a pub burger and a black cherry stout. I was so glad I did, because the cherry stout was something I had never had before. Both the beer and burger was amazing! One of my freinds ordered a peanut chicken pizza and that was also very good. I almost forgot to mention they had a man play bagpipes, which is so cool! I'm all for live music anywhere! All in all, the waitstaff was freindly, attentive, and helpful. The food was great, the beer selection was great. The atmosphere was awesome, and we will be returning! Thank you for an amazing experience! read more

The food was great. Beautiful atmosphere. Great beer after a hike. I ended up purchasing a T-shirt and left it in the bathroom. Not only was Xavier able to help me out and ship it to NC for me, but they used priority shipping AND included free stickers (it's the little things.) :). Will be returning next time I'm on the west coast. read more

This place was ok. From the reviews I was hoping for more. Husband had a couple stout beers that were fine. Had pizza and wings. Wings were good, nothing special. The pizza was okay, the cheese was kind of strange tasting but not bad. Place was just ok. read more

Came here with friends after a long hike. I got their mushroom pizza which was amazing. To be honest I'm not a huge beer drinker, but my friend really enjoyed their beer, he even purchased a few bottles to go! (I got a cider which I felt bad since it wasn't from them) Inside is on the smaller side but we had no issues getting seats since we were there around 3pm. If you're looking for a good brewery spot I would say check this out! They also had a pretty good flight of beer deal! read more

This place has a great NW hipster/biker vibe and a large local following. The beer is good and it is one of just a few dog friendly venues in the gorge. Unfortunately the food is hit or miss. On the up side, the pizza and fries were good. On the down side, the Greek salad, Cole slaw and chicken wings were not good. $10 for 6 wings seemed pretty pricey, especially because they were pretty dry. The flavor was good though. All that said, I will be back. I usually have my pup with me and this is her kind of place. I'll get a burger next time. Check it out. read more

The brew on tap is definitely delicious. The wait for our meal, I'm talking salad, burgers and a fries took 50 minutes. I'd say come for the beer but skip the food read more

This is a great spot in the gorge! They have super good pizza and calzones! I saw a lot of people ordering them and decided to go with the pizza! It was really good! They are giving with the cheese and the toppings. They have REALLY good beer. Right now they have a raspberry ale which is my absolute favorite! They also have wine as well. The brewery is really cool and cozy inside and they have an amazing patio that is pet friendly and has live music in the summer. If you have your breweries of the gorge passport, they do stamps here! This is definitely one of my favorite spots after a hike in the gorge. The staff here is also very friendly! All the girls were super friendly and made sure I was taken care of. read more

Yes...this is a neat little brewery with shaded outdoor patio seating that sits below street level and is pretty well protected from the wind that sometimes comes off of the Columbia River. We stopped in for a quickie but then stayed a while when an acoustic guitar player/singer showed up on the nice outdoor stage there. The IPAs were tasty. We didn't have any, but the food looked good too! The Homo Erectus double IPA was everything a good double should be with well balanced caramelized malt, hops, and above average alcohol - great taste and less filling, worthy of our 2 million year heritage of standing upright. read more

Awesome beer and wings. Can always count on a nice beer style selection to please everyone. Service is exceptional and the vibe is casual and relaxed. Hamburgers are very good. read more

Awesome little patio type area covered by trees! Beer was good! Not as cold as I'd expect in one instance. Staff was unfriendly compared to most other breweries I've been to. read more

This place has the cutest outside seating that's tucked away. I really enjoyed the atmosphere, my husband really liked his beer, and the staff were friendly. I'm not giving 5 stars because the food was just okay. My husband had the spicy chicken sandwich and I had the chicken wings. Both were dry. I might try this again and see if it was just a bad night because we really enjoyed the space and drinks. read more

The pizza I had was very good. I had the cremini mushroom. There's nice outdoor seating.

We rode our bikes here which was fun. Had some great beers and good environment. Service was solid too. Fun birthday stop

Great place to have a burger and beer after a nice hike in the Gorge. Always love stopping here.

I guess one of the advantages of "The Gorge" is that it's a "National Scenic Area" rather than a "National Park". What the hell does that mean? Well, it means there can be small towns dotted with interesting places to eat and drink...rather than govm't/Sysco bacon and pre-formed fries/beef patties. One such town is Stevenson and one such place is Walking Man (other notables: Everybody's in White Salmon and Double Mountain in Hood River). After a day of hiking in the Gorge you really can't do better than some award-winning beer (and, unlike many places, Walking Man has one awards...coveted ones. As someone that attends the annual Great American Beer Festival 4 years running...I can tell you Walking Man has purified the gold out of a sea of over 2,000 beers) and solid food. The menu isn't incredibly diverse, it's mostly pizza, I admit. Their pizzas are really good though, and really unique. They also frequently have some pretty good specials (I got a pulled pork quesadilla one time, I've also seen quinoa burgers for you non-omnivores). Oh, and the SERVICE. You won't mistake this for a Portland brewery. When you ask for individual tabs, they won't look at you like you just said "the Holocaust never happened and I hope you miscarry your first pregnancy", nope...in fact, I think they just assume individual tabs from the get-go, AMAZING. If you're on this side of the Bridge of the Gods, you'd be an idiot not to come here. May as well get a growler too, what are you...Homo*-phobic? Nearby hikes: Table Mountain Hamilton Mountain *do not send me hate-comments; you'll know what I'm talking about when you get here read more

One of my go to places after a hike up dog mountain. Can't beat unwinding here with a burger and a beer and after a long hard Saturday afternoon hike. Pro tip: wait for seating outside (in the downstairs brew pub garden. Totally worth it and the inside is way too stuffy and will ruin the delicious food and beer. read more

Hiking and drinking beer after hiking, premised on the idea that you've somehow 'earned' a few hoppy carb bombs, is a way of life here in the Pacific Northwest. And you'd be hard pressed to find a finer place to do it than in the magnificent Columbia Gorge National Scenic Area. Trouble is, while there are plenty of good watering holes in Portland, and plenty of good watering holes in Hood River, in between these locations the pickin's is a bit slim. If you find yourself crossing the Bridge of the Gods perchance, however, say to climb the perennially popular Dog Mountain, or Table Mountain, or to rock climb at Beacon Rock, you'll find yourself in striking distance of the town of Stevenson, Washington. And if you find yourself in stricking distance of Stevenson, Washington, you simply must go to Walking Man Brewing's local brew pub. The beers are good--especially the homoerectus Imperial IPA. They have good stouts and reds and porters and such as well if that's to your liking. They once brewed a dark malty hybrid version of their imperial IPA and called it "Big Black Homo" (-erectus, not -sexual; don't be a bigot!). I bet they did so just for the titillating joke name. You should go there just because of that--because that happened, and it was goddamn funny, and the beer was good too. This is one of my favorite places to stop for post-hike beer and late lunch. I say late lunch because an unfortunate downside of this pub (and my only real gripe) is that it doesn't open until 3 PM on weekends and 4PM on weekdays, so if you go on your hike too early, you'll finish that hike too early, and dang it, Walking Man won't be open yet. And there you'll stand, slack-jawed, incredulous, with a mighty beer thirst, wondering where the hell else you can go. You'll be sad. I know I have been on several occasions. This isn't a typical "pub grub" joint with burgers and such. The menu is rather limited to a few sandwiches, fries and tots, and pizza. The pizzas are really good though. And on nice days there is a patio. You can sit in the sun, sippin' suds, which is pretty glorious. I should also note that they are enlightened enough here not to have their restrooms all gender-divided into menfolk and womenfolk like some places. Oh no. At Walking Man Brewery pissers are divided into Readers and Dreamers. And depending on the day I count myself in both categories, although I tend to prefer the Readers restroom because of the awesome Frank Zappa quote painted on the wall. Go there. You'll see what I mean. Oh yeah, they have growlers (Grrrrrrr!). Why not take some homo homo? read more
