Editorial Review for McMenamins Edgefield – by Citysearch Editors
The Scene
In 1990, the McMenamin brothers renovated this 38-acre estate--and locals and travelers have been flocking to it since. Built in 1911 as the Multnomah County Poor Farm, and later a retirement home, Edgefield is now on the National Register of Historic Places. Some employees claim it's haunted. Ask around, and you'll hear stories about cats, people and moving objects haunting the different buildings.
The Draw
The farm is now a resort with a hotel, hostel, two restaurants, several small bars, brewery, winery, tasting room, distillery, golf course and movie theater. There are gardens throughout the property and porches to rock away a warm summer day. The Power Station Pub offers a variety of tasty burgers and sandwiches, while the Black Rabbit is more upscale, featuring regional dishes and American favorites; it's also a popular brunch destination. McMenamins' beer, wine and spirits are available throughout the property.

After a day of hiking with my dog our friends and I stopped for a nice cold beer, not being able to bring the dog on the grounds (to our surprise) we parked in a shaded spot and left the windows unrolled several inches. We went to the downstairs bar for bad food and NO service to return to our car with the dog MIA Turns out a concerned citizen notified a staff member because our dog is a whiner, which notified the human society-rather then taking a minute to look for the owners. Being from out of town and it being a Sunday it took about 300 miles of driving and 75 bucks to bail our dog out of the Animal hospital that they failed to tell us they had taken him to. I would just have liked the same effort that they had put into calling someone else to brake into the car put into finding us on the grounds that we where obviously in.
Pros: atmosphere
Cons: lousy service

This place is basically a lovely, sprawling compound of little bars and places to discover. They also offer free music most nights of the week. Add in their own wines and beers and it sounds like nirvana. That's what I'm always hoping for, anyway, but it never works out. Most of the staff acts as if they're too hip to be bothered, and your presence is an inconvenience to them. The wait to be seated is always ridiculous in the pub, even when I can see empty tables. The food is just cranked out--not terrible, but nothing you couldn't get at a cafeteria. Even the beers are a crapshoot. I still go for the music, but that's an exercise in frustration too. For some reason they can't be bothered to put WHERE the music is going to be on their web calendar. If you call to inquire, they may or may not bother to pick up the phone. And if you do find out which building, you better already know where that is on the grounds. There's no map of the maze of buildings (which should be right on the webpage), and if you ask you are lucky if they grunt and wave in a general direction before immediately turning their back on you and walking away while you're still talking. I'd love to recommend this place to everyone, but unless you're planning to just hang out all day and drink enough to feel extremely tolerant of frustration, it may not be worth the trouble.
Pros: Free music most nights, good to wander and hang out
Cons: Poor service. Very disorganized
