    Waltz has such a wholesome atmosphere to it. The owners Ian and Sam are so welcoming and very hands on owners. The live music was great and the Sue's taco truck was out front serving amazing tacos. Live music, cold beer, fresh tacos. Was an absolutely amazing night

    Who would have guessed this was so hip. A warehouse on the backside of nowhere, where they roll open the garage door and serve beer... lots of beer. they even have IPA. they have 5 ciders for the ladies, and old school soda's that scream quality. it got busy after 7pm, as several folks came walking in from the area. a real little gem. You can bring in your own food to have with your beverage. they do not serve food. And by the way, happy birthday to the bar tender!

    Typical poured pint on the night I visited.

    If I exclusively lived in Forest Grove, this place would be a five star brewery. Unfortunately, I no longer live in this quiet hamlet a stone's throw from the brewery juggernaut of Portland, OR. I found the configuration of this place very un-feng shui. It's a big L shaped affair with seating for many in the lower part of the L, and chairs facing a wall in the long part of the L. Perhaps visiting in the nicer weather would help me to appreciate the seating arrangement better, when I can utilize the outdoor seating area. But let's talk about the beer. I tried their Kolsch, which was very good. I inquired about their bitter, which the bartender said was a bit of a misnomer. He graciously let me try a sample, and it definitely didn't taste like a bitter. Their Conifer IPA was terrible. It tasted like they hadn't cleaned their lines in too long. It might have been an off batch, but it definitely didn't have a piney aroma, and I had a hard time finishing it. Their Oatmeal Stout was too sweet. Every pint the bartender poured looked like the picture I included. There wasn't even a head to evaporate, he just poured a short pint. I wanted to love it here, but I had a bad experience.

    Trivia night and game on for Jenga!

    Laid back fun with good beer. My lower rating was no food or pretzels darn although, bring your own food is a plus. Small comfy spot in Forest Grove. Wine choices sound good. Outside seating I and furry friends ate here

    Nighttime performance space.

    Wonderful small local place. Many beers on tap. But really good when there is a performer. Note: there is no food here but Pizza Schmizza is a useul BYOF option.

    Oh my gosh - yesssss. You miggghhhttt have to be a Pacific Northwesterner to understand how f$&@ing epic this place is. But I urge all others to jump on board and see it for what it is - this place is perfect for beers, warmth, friends and conversation. What else could you possibly need? Food? They let you BYOF (bring your own food). You mean I can take my bag of Doritos and eat them while I drink beer? F$&@ing Genius.

    Mmmm. Wine.

    oh ... as a wine or vodka lover in a beer drinking state... it is hard to find places you are totally comfortable but Waltz is perfect. The place is warm and the staff is outgoing and fun. A ton of beer to choose from (20 or so), cider options as well as a red and white wine. I stick with the white wine and taste the occasional beer or cider if someone recommends it. Giant Jenga ....interesting record selection for sale... some days have live music (a bit too loud if you are looking for an intimate evening) and others are just chill conversation nights. You can bring your own food, which is helpful since a bottle of wine begs for some snacks to go with it ^_^ All in all, if I am in Forest Grove, I am likely at Waltz.

    Great neighborhood meeting place. Often live music and food trucks on Friday or Saturday. Vast array of beers, most locally made.

    It's not every day you get to sample premium sake. To be truthful, I never really knew much about…read moresake, other than the good stuff is best served cold. My usual M.O. with sake is a small, hot carafe when I have sushi. But my experience here has made me rethink this incredible beverage. I opted for the Daiginjo flight, which I highly recommend. Daiginjo is the best form of sake, with the process polishing down the rice grain to 50% or less of its original volume. The ones I had ranged from 40% to 50%. I'm not sure exactly what this does, but I can sure tell you, it makes a massive difference in the smoothness and taste. The first 3 sakes in the sampler are from Japan; the last is their exclusive sake made right in Forest Grove. Here's my take on the sakes I had: The Murai Family was aromatic and slightly floral. The Hakutsuru: smooth, slight fruitiness, subtle, with an interesting aftertaste on the back sides of my tongue. The Yoshi No Gawa was smoother with a slight tang at the back of my tongue. And last but not least, the in-house Nagata had a nice balance of bold, silky, and fruity/floral. I even admired its "legs" as I did a swirl to see viscosity. After the flight, I decided on a cocktail, the Blackberry Lime Martini. Tart, sweet, deliciousness. When I left, I bought a bottle of Sho-Une, which didn't break the bank, but is supposed to be great for the price point. I'm saving it for a special occasion. I'm looking forward to visiting this fine establishment again.

    I didn't even know they have one here!…read more Positives: 1. It's McMenamins! It's stained glass, wrought iron, old school house, it's always impressive! 2. Our service was prompt, informative, friendly and exactly how I want my sandwich cut and presented. 3. I'd rather eat here, than to go food cart, or some other fast food joints. 4. Hammerhead is celebrating 40? Congrats! 5. I did like my Cranberry Chicken Salad, though, including my fries. 6. Hubby finished his hamburger and salad, and he said they were delicious! We still look forward to staying at one of their hotels, maybe we'll do that during our 2026 Road Trip - Bend? OK, here comes the negatives: 1. We followed the GPS, and we entered the parking lot, and parked. But, we didn't see but two other cars, one all banged up. We weren't sure where the front door (or door was). We continue driving, inside their lot, and parked again. But, we didn't want to enter from the hotel, or maybe we have to enter through there, to get to the diner. At this point, we both needed to use the restroom! We kept trying on every door, maybe it's this no it's that one, wait, it's locked. Oh, no! That's another room. Finally, we found someone to help us. Honestly, I almost didn't made it! 2. We waited a long time for our ticket. I know they're short staffed. As we were almost done, they were getting more crowded. 3. Mustard & Ketchup: Shake before bringing them to our table, so they looked like they're brand new bottles. See photo below, dried up, leftover ketchup on the bottom side of the bottle. At least, wipe it clean, so we don't gross out! 4. French Fries thinly sliced, nice & crispy, but for pete's sakes, remove the two burned fries off my plate. 5. My Chicken Salad looks pretty empty along the sides. It's plump in the middle. The wheat bread looks dry! 6. We were both craving for something cold, something maybe to bring back to our car (ice cream, sundae, something like that). As we were walking back to the (side of the building) to the door back out, we spotted an ice cream freezer, and our eyes lite up. But, $8 for ice cream sandwich? Forgetaboutit! We don't really need one that bad.

    This was my first time visiting but have heard great things about this McMenamins location with its…read moregarden grounds, spa services, and family-friendly movie screenings. The parking lot wasn't too big from where we entered from what I assumed the back of the property, maybe they have more parking on the other side. We walked by the outdoor dining area but they were not open until later on Tuesdays so we opted to dine at the Ironwork Grill with 2 toddlers. They seemed like they were short-staffed but service was still decently friendly, even though understandably a little slower. I wanted the Fig and prosciutto flatbread but they didn't have it which was disappointing. We ordered kids meal and the burger with tots costed $8.25 and did not come with a drink. I did not think it was worth that (see picture). I got the Crab and Shrimp roll originally with Cajun tots, but what came out was the soup of the day (minestrone) which I didn't mind since it's probably better for me anyway, same $1 up-charge cost. There was a good amount of crab and shrimp inside but the bread roll was dry so the soup helped. I will say that their Lunch Box Special is worth it at around $11 for a half sandwich, soup, and salad. Next time I'll get that. Generally I do think McMenamins food is a little on the pricey side and the quality can vary depending on the day or which McMenamins property you are visiting. But I would come back to this location for happy hour, movies, or other events for sure!

He enjoys playing dj with his curated music, which also had merit, but again was too loud for a weekday lunch. I'm not an old fart, (I think he and I were close to the same age) but old enough to have lost some hearing in my youth, and it was still a bit loud. The pork rinds were good, surprisingly generous and tasted very fresh. I liked the Tajin on them, but would have preferred it to be an option (shaker on the table) rather than just full coverage. I would have shared them, but the person I was dining with doesn't care do the spice. I ordered the bbq bacon cheeseburger with the sauce on the side and it was a generous portion, that was well-cooked. Just the way I ordered it! That being said, the beef was relatively tasteless and the whole sandwich was extremely greasy. The bacon on the sandwich was plentiful and not as greasy as the burger and cheese. I don't know the fries would be seasoned. It may or may not have been on the menu, I honestly can't recall. The place seemed well kept and customer oriented, food service wise, but the ambiance could be dialed down for the lunch crowd. If there was an alternate burger available nearby, I might not give Brothers a second chance. But I can't hate on it. Just a few too many flaws for the price, which was not cheap. Paying over $5 for a Mexican Coke was pretty steep since I didn't see any fountain options. But lastly, too be fair, the bartender was VERY kind!
