What People Are Saying About Rock Creek Tavern
The Editor

Citysearch
In Short – This historic tavern first burned down in 1941, and again in late 2002. The McMenamin's contingent rebuilt the pub and worked its magic adding a floating dance floor akin to that of the Crystal Ballroom, and decor including orange lights, vintage signage and eclectic ornamentation, like the giant mushroom light fixtures. The house boasts a full schedule of live music--most of which is free. There's also the McMenamin's brew lineup and pub grub.

Sloooooooow service
by KJ111111
After waiting 30 minutes for our order to be taken, it took another 90 minutes for our food to arrive. The restaurant was only half full and the menu is simple (burgers and salads) so to me, there was no excuse. Even after being told the kitchen was "working really hard" our burgers arrived so cold the cheese was hard. I had also ordered mine with no mayo, and it came smeared with so much mayo I had to peel the bottom bun off. The food was greasy, cold and not worth the wait.
The waiter was very nice and the place was asthetically great, but we will never go back. Too bad, it's a cute place.
- Pros: Nice atmosphere, nice waiters
- Cons: sloow service, cold food

Standard McMenamins in a Nice Country Locale
by reginald_x
If you're in Hillsboro, the McMenamins bars are among the better places to drink. Unfortunately, their beer prices could be better, and their happy hour deals are nothing special ($3.95 McMenamins marked down to $3.15). McMenamins beer is good, though not outstanding. The food overall is lackluster, but their Halibut fish and chips is excellent... well, the fish part anyway. At any McMenamins location, always get the tots (crispy and flavorful - especially when Cajunized) instead of the fries (soggy)! Atmosphere in McMenamins places ranges from pretty cool to great. This one, set in the country just north of town, has a good atmosphere overall, especially on nice days/nights when they can open a large section of the wall to the outside air. Compared to the majority of Hillsboro's standard mix of drinking venues, many of which are semi-trashy or plain-chain bars, this is a palace.
- Pros: Good beer, wine, some good food. Cool building. Good atmosphere for Hillsboro bar.
- Cons: Other brewpubs can be cheaper, bla happy hour, bad fries.

another sucess by the folks at McMenamins
by sdtransplant
This is one of my favorite McMenamins beause of it cozy down-home vibe. Rebulit better than ever after a fire in 2002, this is a great place to escape the frenzied tempo and frou-frou decor of the city. The fare is varied and delicious, the beers are tasty, and the fireplace is always roaring.
