We arrived at 5pm on a Saturday night. The placed was packed with a long line waiting to be seated, it was busy the entire time we were there. I like the option to choose 3 different kind of bruschetta's. The calamari and dipping sauce was delicious. Mixed drinks and dessert was tasty as well. We ordered beef nachos, it's a homemade cheese sauce. I was not a fan! The cheese didn't taste like cheese. I'd say the nachos lacked in flavor and toppings. And maybe they are working out the kinks with the menu, this wouldn't prevent me from visiting again, I just wouldn't order the nachos. The staff was courteous and attentive for the level of business they had. Parking is plentiful and shares a lot with Cafe Murray Hill. As with any new business there's always kinks to be worked out. They did a great job. read more

The food tasted good but the portions on the special, halibut, was over priced for the serving size. The Oregon berry ribs were great so was the apple fig burger. Service took it down one star- took a long to to be greeted by waitress, mix up with drinks, sitting outside was nice read more

We love this tap house, but lately the service has been poor. We visited for a late lunch today and ordered our usual dishes. Both were cooked well but our food sat on the service line for way too long. We ordered drinks along with our food and it took so long that I forgot we had even ordered them. After we received our food, I ordered another drink- this time it took so long that I was waiting for 20 minutes. I only ordered a draft cider which takes less than 2 minutes to pour and deliver. We were seated right behind where the acting manager was having some meetings with staff. We were rarely checked in on and I had to seek out our server to get boxes. The server who delivered my drink inferred that I was not happy and then proceeded to indiscreetly discuss about us to the manager who was seated right behind me. This is the WORST service we have had at this tap house which is unfortunate because we have been here many times, brought guests and usually enjoy the experience. Here are some pointers that the manager should have done- common sense- asked us how our service was and see how they could make it better, or perhaps not discuss within earshot. We were polite, extremely patient and should have said something, but we were trying to give our server the benefit of the doubt. Needless to say, I don't recommend going here during the day during the week because they are obviously understaffed. read more

Just not worth it . Constant mixup trying to get an outside table, food is mediocre, expensive. So many other places to go .

Servers were friendly and food was good. Location by the lake is relaxing.Need to have a few more Happy Hour options ,but food on regular menu is good. read more

Murrayhill Taphouse - Vegetarian Street Corn Nachos - Beer Bar Near Me - Beaverton, Oregon

Pretty near to our place and had been planning to go for long. Summer outdoors here will be awesome as it's near small lake. Good place to gather up with family and friends. We were a party of 11 including kids and they arranged a place for ourselves which was super convenient (away from the crowd). We had sweet corn ribs, buffalo shrimp and chicken nachos as appetiser and all those were good. Spicy burger and beef short ribs were excellent. Sidewinder fries were just okay. I got couple of partial cooked Potatoes in there. They do have lot of variety in the menu and definitely gona go back and try more items. read more

Ambiance and drinks: great Service: good Food: terrible Eating outside next to the pond/lake is really nice, and they have outdoor fire pits. We tried the a pizza and the bread pudding. The pizza crust tasted like cardboard and the bread pudding was rediculously dry. They did have a great alcohol selection and we were very happy with the wine and beer we picked. read more

We just enjoyed a fabulous happy hour with excellent food and our waitress, Maxine, was exceptional! We will definitely return.

First time here since Beaches. The decor has not changed, outdated!!! The food was mediocre!!! Fish and Chips, 6/10! Rueben Sandwich, 7/10. Pizza, 4/10. The fries were 2/10....served cool. Coleslaw, 1/10, watery and tasteless!! Service...10/10!!! Best part of meal. Lovely young lady, VERY professional!!! Attentive! read more

Murrayhill Taphouse is a beautiful location with a large patio seating area overlooking the Murrayhill Pond. As far as locations go, you can't beat this spot. This particular building has had a long history of failure, as I have lived in the area nearly my entire life. Many different tenants have come and gone with typically pretty poor food quality (though the nostalgia hits hard thinking back about Beaches). This is all to say that it has been a long time coming for a *good* establishment to occupy this space... and Murrayhill Taphouse is very close. I wholeheartedly believe that regardless of the food quality, this is a great spot: perfect for dates, family get-togethers, and so forth. Though, very much recommend the outdoor seating, as indoors is very run-of-the-mill, though still nice. Yet, my gripes mostly start and end with the quality of the food and the price you pay for it. In my two times dining at Murrayhill Taphouse, I have had their Taphouse Burger and a Margherita Pizza Board, both mostly being inoffensive. Both of these dishes fall into the camp of decent pub food that costs more than their punch. Over the years I have become way more of a stickler for pub food that is priced this high, especially when it comes to burgers (Murrayhill's currently sitting at $17). Because of the abundance of local restaurants that are priced lower and generally have equal to better taste, these nicer taphouses/pubs are falling out of my favor. If you have no issue with the price point, then so be it, Murrayhill Taphouse will provide exactly what you'd expect and exactly what you've had before somewhere else. Yes, there are many better spots where you can get pub fare for much cheaper, but Murrayhill Taphouse comes with the added tax of a nice location. This is, to the best of my memory, the best restaurant that has occupied this location, but it did not live up to the expectations and hopes I had in making this my new after-work spot to meet friends and have a beer (White Oak Taphouse across the street frankly fills in as a better option for that). read more

This was my first time visiting the Murrayhill Taphouse and unfortunately had a very disappointing experience. First off, our server was not very friendly or helpful when helping us. I believe his name was Adonis, but I don't know because he didn't introduce himself. This was the name on the receipt. No water/silverware/menus were provided to us Eventually, we were given menus after a long wait and having to ask for water. Did not know of QR Code on table for drink menu, when I asked for what's on tap he seemed annoyed and referred me to the QR code (which was fine, I didn't see it). When I asked for recommendation he said, "its a long list" and just seemed annoyed. When we brought our appetizers to share with our table we still had not received any place settings (silverware or napkins) and no sharing plates. We eventually received our food by a food runner. We then asked for placesettings and I kid you not he said, "Oh fuck, I will go grab some." When he returned we realized we have not received Malt Vinegar for our Fish and Chips he responded, "Shit I just got back here." It sounded like he was trying to be funny, but I was not amused. The very last thing and probably the most appalling to me was my dinner. I ordered a salad with chicken and my chicken was completely raw (See Attached). read more

While in an unsuspecting part of town this bar really was quite the place. The vibes of this place were great! Several seating options from couches, bar, high tops to just normal booth seating! All the options make for great dynamics no matter who or how many you are meeting with. The space is warm with multiple fireplaces which was also a great touch. The beer list was sufficient for a beer drinker such as myself. Options ranging from very dark beers to your NW style IPAs! The food was quite good too. We ordered the bruschetta and had 8 options to choose from. All the ones we picked turned out fantastic. Great flavors from great ingredients. If you are looking for a great place to meet your coworkers for happy hour or catch up with an old friend look no further! Will definitely be back to try more of their amazing menu read more

We came here for a snack after playing some tennis. We waited for about 20 minutes before being seated. We ordered 5 items to share between the four of us. The ribs looked tasty, but was a bit over cooked. The French Dip was pretty salty, both the sandwich and the au jus. The Kale salad and the White Pie were decent. Our server did his best to help us out. read more

This was our 2nd time going. The ambiance is very nice. The fireplaces and the casual seating are comfortable and relaxing. Nice drink menu and friendly staff. The food though... quite disappointing. We tried the donut bites but they were more like fried strips of donut jerky with a hint of chicken strip flavor from the fryer basket. Last time we had the calamari which was fine but more peppers than squid. The menu could use more inspiration. Probably would go again for a drink but eat somewhere else before coming. read more

Murrayhill Taphouse - Donut bites - Beer Bar Near Me - Beaverton, Oregon

Sitting on the patio is probably the best view in Beaverton. Perfect shaded tables looking right on the pond with all the docks and geese. Great early dinner. First greeted by a vary charismatic person that brought us water. Loved his energy and I'm super happy that this restaurant hires neurodiverse people. I had the crispy honey buffalo chicken sandwich. At first it It was huge, but they pound it pretty flat to look bigger on the plate. ! Perfectly cooked but lacking the buffalo flavor. Kind of bland. The fries are real good. Watery ranch (drives me nuts when restaurants do this. Is ranch really that expensive?) Happy to find another place in the area that has good food. read more

Mandy was an awesome server & the kitchen always cooks our burgers to the right temperature! We love eating on the deck with beverages & a hummus board! read more

I had the Po Boy sandwich and it was good, but could use a few more shrimp and more sauce. Of course I'm comparing it to the one Southland Whiskey Kitchen used to have before they closed as I'm trying to find a replacement ad I loved theirs. The fries here were really good and I would come back to have them again. read more

I'm giving five stars because the food was so amazing, and the prices were fantastic! There are fancy cocktails here for $11 which would be $15+ anywhere else in Portland. A beautiful kale salad with goat cheese, apples and walnuts, just 10 bucks. Absolutely perfect / delicious flank steak with frites. A peanut butter mousse and s'mores dessert that are to die for. Not to mention the beer cheese soup which I dipped bread in like a fondue... We left very fulfilled, stuffed and satisfied. Can't wait to come back and try more on the menu! Like the different toppings on the bruschettas and pizzas looked fantastic! read more

First time checking out the taphouse since it opened. Had to make reservation for a party of 6 at 5:15pm a week before. First impression, cute trendy restaurant. When our server walked us to the table, we were seated in a room away from the main dining area. The restaurant was about 30% filled so there were a ton of empty tables. We were originally only given a small table for a party of 6 so had to ask for another table to connect so there was room for 6 people. One table would have limited one person to one small plate and a drink, at most. A few of us got there early and ordered appetizers right away because of previous reviews that orders can take awhile. To our surprise, the appetizers arrived within 10 minutes of ordering. Calamari was good, not overly battered or oily. Bruschetta was delicious and the options were great. Sweet potato wedges were huge wedges but tasty. Pizza was a perfect size with just the right for someone who loves thin, light wood fired pizzas. Drinks were strong and definitely a hit with the heavier pours. Although our full party of 6 didn't get arrive until 5:30, we were asked to wrap up before 7 because they had a party of 18 coming in and would need to use our table. It caught us all off guard as we weren't really ready to leave because we were still enjoying our party with drinks and appetizers. So we didn't get a chance to try any entrees. Overall, food was decent. Cocktails had strong pours (great for those who prefer more alcohol). Server was nice. However, it did not feel inviting when we were placed in a separate room away from the main dining area despite walking by a ton of empty tables. It would have been nice to know that there was a time limit for our party of 6. Being noticed 15 minutes before we had to leave was a little shocking. read more

My husband came in for their soft opening and was hoping to want to love the food experience more this time. He brought me to try it again tonight. Let's just say I wasn't impressed. The only positive thing I can add is the service was great, the bartender was our waiter, the drinks were good. We started with two Appetizers: calamari was dry with no seasoning. Jalapeño appetizer with no seasoning and the dip can't be called lime Crema with no lime or flavor. Just not super excited about the first few bites we had. Probably the most lack luster Cesar salad, not dressed and you can't call that preserved lemons, they were not, burnt pine nuts? Just why? Not impressed at all. We finished with the fish and chips and it was just not great. I think the only positive thing about that part was the tartar sauce. The fish was kind of soggy, the chips, why use fingerling potatoes, they were watery inside and not crispy either. We gave feedback to the manager because it was just not good. Will see if they even listen. For the amount of money we paid for our dinner, I wouldn't waste your time unless they either change their chefs of learn how to properly season their food. read more

Overall: Love to see the place up and running. Awesome location! It is very BUSY so I recommend calling ahead and if you want to go dine during prime hours. Atmosphere: Very cozy and casual atmosphere. At the moment because the weather is warmer they have outdoor and indoor seating available. They have the doors open allowing for a very nice indoor/outdoor ambience. Food: The main thing I was looking forward to is the Bruschetta and yikes, it was disappointing. Like a lot of the reviews said, when the bruschetta came to the table, the bread was stale, cold and chewy. Not very appealing. I tried six of the flavors and all ranged from great to bad. Overall, I wish some had more toppings. The spread was only a little and only in the middle on some and the meat was only a little on others. They had a pesto that they use a spread on some and that was yummy. I recommend: The white pie. If you love cheese, get this pizza! Includes: White sauce, ricotta, mozzarella, basil pesto, a drizzle of honey. They honey was a great addition to the pesto and cheese. It was cooked great and tasted amazing. Service: New staff, new place, everyone is still learning. The hostess was a young inexperienced girl who we asked two or three questions to which she didn't know two of and gave a ridiculous answer for the third. -The waiter was a good guy. Too quiet. Didn't engage in any conversation, even looked a little nervous, or anxious to be serving. read more

A 2 hour wait. For a tap house. The hostess (3 of them) look a little confused why we were there. We will give them some slack being it's a new restaurant. We got a table but it was in an odd spot by the doors where food was being brought out to outside tables. Wasn't great for a date night. Our waiter was however, fantastic. Super personable and attentive. He was training a gal and she was nice as well! The food was good. The potato pizza was VERY greasy and sadly had a hair in it. I don't think hair in food is acceptable and especially when it's not handled well. The bruschetta was good though. Is it worth a 2 hour wait. No. Will we return, don't think so. The hair and how that was handled was not good. read more

We finally had a chance to check this place out for dinner. We sampled several dishes including appetizers, entrees, and desserts and everything was great. (Beer cheese soup was the only miss.

Great place for sausage rolls and locally brewed beer. They're also dog friendly with an outside patio!

Thank a is the third restaurant at this location. It has a great outdoor seating area overlooking the pond with fire pits. I'm alone today cooling off from people disrespecting me to frequently. So I'm at the bar where other people can disrespect me more frequently. I just wanted a beer but looked at the menu and ordered the rockfish and chips. The beer menu has about 26 on tap along with 6 ciders. All the beer is local craft offerings which is super cool. The bar is a little busy on a Sunday at 5:30. There are three tv screens that are too high to watch. Probably an after thought. They have a large garage door in the bar the opens onto the patio. The fish and chips were ok. The rockfish was over breaded but that happens everywhere. The fries are a weird fat curly fry. But good. And the coleslaw is coleslaw. This is a big place and properly staffed. Service is good, professional and friendly. Lots of people tonight and they are happy. Good location with enough parking close by or nearby. The piped music is hoppin and helps to creep the chatter noise down. Great selection of music. The story here is that the owner of the buildings in this area wanted to fill this space. It's been closed for over five years. So he contacted a restaurant across the way and ask them to start a restaurant with him. After research, the Murrayhill Taphouse was started. Thanks, for opening a cool relaxed place to be. read more

Awesome food and ambience with service fantastic and the manager is amazing. Love the pond, too, and live music!!!

Updating this without photos cuz I forgot! My husband & I came for date night on their patio on a beautiful Friday night. Made reservations for 5:45 and was sat right away. Our server was awesome and we were completely done with our meal in an hour. We got the meat & cheese board to start, along with the lychee martini and they were both delicious. Only "complaint" is that I wish the board was bigger for the price! It was really yummy. Hubby got a French dip and I got the southwest salad with grilled chicken. Both were SO good, great portions and the sandwich was hot & tasty. We will definitely be back at this murrayhill gem! read more

I had not been to this locale since it was Ruby Tuesday but had previously enjoyed the branches and happy hours. The remodel is much classier than the previous outfit and definitely has a higher scale feel. There is plenty of tables inside and out and I hope to catch a fire side libation as the weather grows warmer. The menu has a great variety of food choices for the vaied tastes of the largest party. Our party of 7 was seated promptly at our reserbed table. We sampled various appetizers, drinks and entrees worry a few good standouts. The corn ribs, bruschetta, burger and fish/chips received good reviews. My French dip was 2 star meal but the accompanied fries were delicious. This is a great place for drinks and appetizers... read more

Went on opening night! We have been waiting for a great place to come into this spot for years, and it didn't disappoint. The outdoor atmosphere was so nice, the fountain, the fire pits, the music- I really enjoyed the ambiance! The drinks were delicious! I had the tap house tea cocktail and it was so good I had to get another. My friends all got different cocktails from their menu and we all loved them. Food was great as well! Will definitely be back. The servers were so busy and things took a while, which is expected on opening night, but the staff was all super friendly and welcoming! Loved the experience and can't wait to go back! read more

Well I really wanted this place to be a great place but it's a hit and miss. Today was definitely the worst! It's 5:30pm on a Monday, the restaurant is nearly empty and we went in and stood there waiting for a hostess or someone to help us out but no one came. The bartender saw us and even made eye contact with us but didn't say a word. We waited for about 10 minutes before we decided to leave. The food has been ok sometimes and bad other times so yeah last time we visit this place. read more

Erin was an incredible server. My family and I have lived on Murrayhill for 30+ years. This locations has been every restaurant under the sun but FINALLY it is something worth trying. We started with the zucchini spears. They were nice and crunchy without getting too soggy from the breading. My dad ordered the salmon and was very happy. He would have liked a slightly larger cut but the taste was great. My brother ordered their cheese burger. Nothing too exciting but still good. The potatoes wedge fries were the best part of the plate. The real star of the night was the Oregonian Blackberry BBQ Ribs. I have never had something so unique yet so intrinsically Oregon. When most visitors think Oregon they think strawberries. Real Oregonians know blackberries are our secret sauce. The ribs were a lean but meaty cut. They fell right off the bone. The slaw was traditional but tasty. The entire restaurant was spotless and the newly remodeled style is a perfect fit. I love the mix of tables, bar seats, and casual chairs/couches by the fire. It was raining during dinner or else we would have gone outside to enjoy the patio. We see the fires from the street when we drive by and it was what initially drew us in to give it a try. We will be back to try more of the menu very soon! read more

Giving 3 stars in hopes the quality of food reflects only that Murrayhill TH is still working out kinks of newer opening. Unfortunately the fish from fish and chips had more grease and dough than fish on my meal, my husbands cheeseburger, overcooked and bun was dry, sans any condiments. For a first experience, disappointing. I will say, restaurant was nicely reimagined, and our server was great, and did offer to take fish back or get something else. Unfortunately I was 1/2 way in to field stripping my meal by then so I opted not. We will wait a few months and possibly try again. read more

DISCLAIMER: I've been to the Taphouse once Food: Well-prepped and tasty. Specifically, the Taphouse burger is portioned well and comes with a generous amount of fries (these fries are bigger than the usual bunch). I also sampled (from my accompanying members) macaroni and mahi mahi sliders which were made with the same care as my burger. Although the food is excellently done, I recommend looking at the menu first as the selection is somewhat limited and may not be what you're looking for. Service: The real reason I wanted to write the review is to commemorate how awesome the service is at the Murayhill Taphouse. Riley, our waitress, is phenomenal! Very welcoming, diligent, and attentive; all of our meals were served with care and we always had everything needed to enjoy meals; water and sauce. I can't say that this experience is universal, but I hope everyone shares the same traits as Riley. Ambiance: The Taphouse is located in a scenic area and you have the option of eating inside or outside, both have a nice view. There is music constantly playing at a soft tune, so I always felt relaxed. I think it's a nice place to bring your date to or dine with some friends. All in all, I had an enjoyable experience, but I highly recommend that you look into the menu and area first before you choose to eat here. read more

Great service, great beer and wine list, delicious food, and a great setting with the firepit, lake, and fireplace. Beautifully decorated for Xmas.
