    Glad to be here for Moms birthday
    Holly J.

    We have attended several events here and just gone for the heck of it for lunch and dinner. They have a really wonderful menu and I especially like the burnt and sandwiches and the giant pretzels. They have great iced tea. They have incredible desserts and I am told the beer selection is really good. We have had their pizzas and several other items on the menu. We have been coming here about eight years now I think this review is long overdue. Definitely would try the menu out at least come for lunch. You will be back for dinner. They have a wonderful outdoor space that's been there since Covid that has lots of sunlight and plenty of room to just breathe and stretch out Personally I like the tables and booths inside. They're a little more cozy to my liking. Definitely worth a stop. The service is great. The staff are very helpful and always willing to help you figure out what to try if you're not sure.

    This little spot is in Camas. Close to the mill. It has a huge outdoor area and also plenty of room in different spaces inside. They have a huge selection of beer, wine, and cocktails. My friend and I came for lunch today. We stopped iced tea, but it was very tasty and was refilled many times. We each had a house salad, which was very large with fresh ingredients. Chicken wings were out of this world! They are having made, and crispy, tender, and spicy. We shared a Hawaiian pizza. They do is really tasty. Crispy but has a lot of texture. Topping is fresh and delicious. Definitely will be coming back here. They have a cool area with a stage to have music. Check it out when you're down an Camas. !

    Never disappoints! Great food and a wide beer and spirits selection. The service is always quick and the restaurant is always clean.

    We came here on a whim as we drove by and thought "What a neat name." The experience was fun. The beer list is incredible, and the burgers and pizzas were delicious. We had a fantastic meal, and had beers to go (in crowlers). I wish parking was a little easier around the place, but that's not their fault, that's just part of being in downtown Camas. It was a fun time, and the food was amazing. We will definitely be back and will bring friends :)

    Let me just say, the combo of #40 & #43 taste like Starburst. Thanks, Stacy!!! We got the Cider flight and loved the selection. (Drinking rn. Will update later)

    The biggest issue with A Beer at a Time is that they do not have any sort of social distancing or mask policy whatsoever, so if you're at all anxious about potential exposure, steer clear. With that said, the staff regularly sprayed the tables down with a very peculiar-smelling cleaner (think "port-a-potty deodorizer") that left an odd, chalky tackiness to the thickly lacquered tables, tended to linger in the air for quite a while, and occasionally burned my eyes. The tables are charming and are literally single large slabs of lumber. The benches are also long, single slabs, making for a jostling experience when anybody sits down or gets up. A Beer at a Time doesn't seem to offer much for non-beer drinkers. The menu has a wide variety of items, and I opted for a Margherita pizza. For what it cost (very pricey for its size), it should have tasted a lot better than it did. The sauce was bland and watery, the mozzarella didn't melt super well, and tasted like sliced store-bought part-skim, low-moisture fare. The crust also had a weird, unsalted saltine cracker flavor. If you're into beer (I'm not), A Beer at a Time would probably be quite to your liking. I've never seen as large a selection as that offered here. I came here to see one of my favorite bands play. As a concert venue, it leaves a lot to be desired. Despite the acoustic treatments on the ceiling and walls, the acoustics are terrible. All of the tables and seats in the area with the stage are all oriented 90 degrees to the stage, meaning that none of the seats actually face the stage. Patrons must either turn their heads to the left or to the right to see the performers. This area is also dominated by two very long "community" tables that are honestly too big for area with the rest of the seats and tables that line the walls. These were both completely full of patrons who clearly had no interest in seeing the band, and once the band started playing, they raised their voices to shout at each other accordingly. The only reason I'll come back is to see bands play. I'll try different menu items to see if they fare any better. If you're a beer enthusiast who likes quaint pubs, you'll likely love this place. If not, A Beer at a Time will likely disappoint.

    Philly Cheese Steak is not grilled steak. It's chopped up roast beef deli slices.

Great vibe overall. We came in for a large group lunch and had made a reservation, but it wasn't written down on their end. They accommodated us right away and had a table ready after just a few minutes' wait. We ordered a bunch of starters to share, the Brussels sprouts were delicious, the pretzel with cheese and mustard had the perfect texture, and the fries and Caesar salad were both really yummy. Honestly, the starters were the highlight of the meal. The entrees were decent but didn't quite live up to the appetizers. Service was quick and orders came out accurate. I got the hot Italian grinder, and wasn't expecting the large slices of meat inside, it threw me off a bit since it's different from other grinders I've had though the flavor itself was still good. Overall a solid experience and I'd come back, especially for those Brussels sprouts!

You can absolutely smell the fish and vinegar as soon as you walk through the door, which I think gives the place a very homey pub feel. I ordered a spiked peach Arnold Palmer, which I enjoyed (and it was pleasantly strong) and a glass of the house white, which was good for the price. Our server was very fast and attentive. To eat I got the tomato soup with a grilled cheese, which was absolutely fantastic. The soup was so creamy and flavorful, and I cannot imagine a better meal after spending all day walking outside in the rain. The fries were super crispy and I liked the batter. My partner and I shared some of their breadsticks, which were deliciously baked (fresh!) and came with a super refreshing basil crema and a nice tomato-y dip. Wonderful all. My partner ordered fish and chips, and was surprised to find that it is one large fillet of fish, not multiple pieces like you would typically expect. He said the fish was fine, but a little tough. Overall, a wonderful experience. I definitely hope to return. I highly recommend this place as a refuge during the cold winter months!

So much art to look at, curiosities tucked in every corner, space to roam and explore! - Get the passport to make your stay even more rewarding and fun! I love the scavenger hunts and the stamps force you to do things you might not normally do on your own accord. - The full pitch and putt course is a relaxing and a fun way to spend a few hours. It was only $25 per person and took us 3 hours. - I signed up for the Makers Tour and highly recommend it! Lots of tastings and great historical facts along the way. - The soaking pools at night were perfect to relax muscles right before bed plus no kids after 8pm. - This hotel doesn't revolve around children. The movies that were showing were rated R and most of the pubs and pool hall are 21+. Kids are welcome - but I've never seen that many kids around which I like, personally. - It's very Dog Friendly!! - The live music is incredible. I've been here for big concerts on the lawn plus mini concerts down the winery hall. They were all amazing. - It can get noisy between 7-11pm especially in weekends! The building is old - not sure about insulation and things! Bring some earplugs, a positive attitude and maybe enjoy an extra drink! Or go during the week for a quieter experience. - The food is a bit pricey but if you are doing the passport it makes a little more sense. Some of my favorites are the Cajun Tots, Portland Dip, any Burger, and the Bagel and Lox Breakfast is Incredible!!!

The Highlights * ​The Saltwater Outdoor Pool: This was the absolute highlight of our stay. The water is kept at a perfect 38°C (100°F), making it incredibly relaxing. I highly recommend visiting after 8:00 PM when the pool becomes an 21+ area. * Thoughtful Details: The robes provided were high quality and very comfortable. Pro-tip: Be sure to bring flip-flops for the walk to and from the pool area. * Art & Dining: The murals throughout the hotel are fascinating to look at. We also had great experiences at the on-site bars and the Black Rabbit Restaurant, where both the food and the service were excellent. The Room & Stay Quality ​We specifically booked a room with a private bathroom and shower. However, most rooms at this location utilize communal facilities. Unfortunately, our room was located very close to the shared bathrooms and lavatories. Due to a complete lack of etiquette from other guests using those facilities, it was extremely noisy throughout the night. Because of the poor sleep quality and the noise levels, we likely won't be staying here again. It's a beautiful property, but the layout and noise issues made it difficult to fully enjoy our birthday celebration.

We walked in at about 6:30pm on a Wednesday night and was kind of greeted by one of the servers. She wasn't too friendly and seemed to be irritated that we said we'd wait for a table as opposed to sitting at the bar. Once seated, that same server came over to try to take our orders and once again seemed irritated that we weren't ready to order. Luckily, another server took over from there and we had a pleasant anniversary meal the rest of the time! Here's everything we tried: Devilish Eggs - This came with 4 deviled eggs and was just okay. The crispy bacon pieces was the best part of this dish! Steak Tartare - This was the main reason we chose this restaurant and we were definitely not disappointed! We spent our first anniversary together in Europe and had so much tartare and this really brought back some wonderful memories for us. The tartare was rich and mustardy, beef flavor was great, and it sort of just melted in your mouth. The crispy chips paired well with the tartare and I can't wait to come back and have this again! Mussels - This was a big bowl of mussels in a white wine garlic sauce with toasted baguettes. Mussels tasted fresh and garlicky with just a bit of funk from whatever cheese they grated on top. The toasted baguettes were so good dipped into that white wine broth. I wish this dish came with skinny fries but it was also so good as is. Would definitely order this again! Field Greens - I asked for this to come out with my meal but it came out about 10 minutes before the entrees came out. It was very light and refreshing. I saved half to have with my meal but most of it was wilted already by the time our mains came out. But it's okay! The fried chicken actually had a small portion of this salad on its plate. I wouldn't have ordered this had I known, so next time will skip the side salad altogether! Fried chicken - I really wanted to like this dish but alas, fried chicken breast is very hard to make juicy. I definitely prefer dark meat because that's harder to mess up. My partner enjoyed it but he doesn't mind dry chicken. The sauces were phenomenal! That mustard sauce was great and the sweet glaze was delicious! The potatoes would have been a lot better if they were smaller to get more of that crust to creamy potato ratio but still okay the way it was. My fiance cleaned this plate up! Brown Butter Cake - This cake was phenomenal! It's hard to mess anything with Brown Butter up so I had really high expectations for this and they certainly did not disappoint. The server was nice enough to throw candles on it since we were celebrating and it really ended our meal on the sweetest note! The restaurant itself is small and cozy. A bit dark and romantic. It really reminded me of the small bistros in France that we frequented while we were out there. We'll definitely be back to try other things on the menu!

We didn't get food so I can't speak to that but there were a few things on the menu that I would order next time. I thought the service was fine, nothing to write home about.

Note - it will cost extra $ to have them open the beer you purchase from the fridge. It's totally common practice for a bottle shop but can be off putting if you don't expect to pay to drink the beer you just bought. Cheers!
