Squirrels is the best place in Corvallis to get a beer and some food highly recommend going there

Fun place with lots of outdoor seating and our waitress was a hoot! I got a hamburger with an egg on it (what?) it was yummy. Titos vidka with a few olives, and our waitress brought me more! Loved it! read more

Fun bar, great vibe, and very friendly staff. We were in after the Beaver game so it was pretty packed. Drinks were great my one complaint was the chili dog, not a great option. read more

The best place around, hands down, great atmosphere, and great food, even the service. Love this place.

Best burgers in town! I always get the squirrel burger with the curly fries basket! The ambiance is also excellent, though is can get incredibly busy. read more

Good service, good food. Rustic awesome ambiance. Our food was great. Large portions. Will stop again. Lots of history.

Been coming here for years and the food is still great, the building eclectic, it's a Corvallis icon!

Love love love squirrels. Went there in college and we go when we visit my daughter and son in law.

Burger, fries and a beer prepared and served perfectly. Unique eye catching cozy bar. High quality with great prices!

For me, this is a place to preserve, cherish and go to. I love that it's cash-only (why pay bank fees?) I love their curly fries. I love that they have wine bottles at affordable prices, something that seems foreign in Oregon, sadly. I love that they have pool tables upstairs, and that there's a lot of space both inside and outside. read more

Typical college town bar. Lots of history and simple food. Decor is eclectic and fun. Love the squirrels everywhere. Burger was simple but good. Curly fries were the bomb and lots of them. A must see in Corvallis. read more

I could NOT believe how rude the man was when we went to order our food at the kitchen window. He was a very large man who obviously appeared to have been called in on his day off. He was very short with us from the moment we walked up even though we were prepared with our order. We ordered quickly and he yelled and was short with us the entire time he was attempting to take our order. At the end of our order, he asked us which table we were sitting at and we didn't know. The tables weren't numbered. We turned around and pointed to the one we were at and he said "table 3?" We responded back by saying that we didn't know. He asked us if we were at the table with the beers. Neither of us said anything quickly enough for him because we had cider. And then we turned around and said "yes" after we noticed that none of the other tables had alcohol. He then forcefully told us that we were at table 3. I cannot even believe how rude the fat man was. Of all the times I have been here, the service has always been good. Never great. But good. I hope he gets fired. Find a job you actually enjoy. And stop wasting your time wishing you were someplace else and go be there. The two is because the guy at the bar was nice. But he didn't salvage the fat man. read more

when i arrived in tow i made it a point to find the best burgers in town and this place is definitely in the running. Now only is the food great but the staff is incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and if i must be honest... some of the prettiest in town to boot. What really struck me was the way i was welcomed from the moment i walked in. Just a wonderful place read more

Best cheeseburger and fries in town, and they serve custom-crafted root beer, too. The prices are right and the staff are all friendly.

It was so overpriced. I had to take a look later to see if they had doubled the bill but nope. For a 2 small bacon burgers and fries it came to almost $40 with a very small tip. Was not worth the money at all. So disappointed because this use to be our favorite hamburgers. read more

Squirrels was recommended by a local that told me I would be happy with any burger and they have great fries.

If you're looking for good food, great service and a friendly bar - then you've met you match. Squirrel's tavern offers you ALL of that. I ate a cheese burger and it was great! The selection of beers was awesome as well. When I'm back in town - i'll def come back. My recommendation: The Squirrel Burger read more

I love Squirrel's. Yet another great Corvallis institution. On my 21st birthday I grabbed lunch here for the first time (no minors allowed, so growing up in Corvallis meant I was pretty psyched to try this place when I hit 21) and I found that their garden burger was awesome. Since that day I have visited a handful of times, and each time has been great. Squirrel's is the quintessential sports bar. On my latest visit, we came on a night when the Beavers basketball team was playing, so we were lucky to snag a table since the place was a sea of orange and black. At Squirrel's you order your food at a little window in the kitchen door, then you order your drinks at the bar and pay for everything at the bar, and then your food is brought to your table when it's ready. I had the hard apple cider, which was Two Towns, and it was awesome. For dinner I had the salmon burger with fries, and I was blown away. That is how you make a salmon burger! Juicy, flavorful, covered in provolone, on a sesame seed bun...scrumptious. After our meal, we headed upstairs where we played a few rounds of pinball (since the pool tables were taken). A classic pub experience, with great drinks and great food. read more

Chili dog was pretty darn good. Fries were excellent, also. This joint also has a very nice selection of beers. Get there early if you want a bar seat. Cash only. F read more

Squirrel's Tavern - Chili burger. - Bars Near Me - Corvallis, Oregon

Pool tables upstairs, great beers served. Friendly place and the burgers and fries are really good. Squirrel's has had the same local owner for a long time and I consider it part of Corvallis culture and history :) Since The Gables (a former fantastic restaurant in Corvallis) shut down in '08 or '09, I wondered where their stained glass front window went. I wished I could at least see that, even if the restaurant was gone. I was playing pool upstairs, drinking a Rogue hazelnut brown nectar, and I was astonished when I saw that stained glass window in Squirrel's! Yay! read more

Don't know why it gets such high scores. Lunch was mediocre bar fare and table service was slow. Must be the local nostalgia. Though fairly busy for lunch, there was only one other woman customer in the whole place. We thought that was odd. read more

I wish I could tall about the food and the drinks, but no one ever came to get our order. We waited for more than 30 minutes, but the staff seemed more concern with their regular patrons. If you were an out-of-towner I recommend you go somewhere else. read more

Amazing! Great drinks by Abby (she's a doll) Today, Mama needed a strong drink. (Just dropped off my 1st Baby, our only daughter off at OSU.)And the FOOD! So delicious!!! Thank you, Tom, for my PERFECT turkey sandwich!!! As I bit into it... I remembered why I loved this place so much. Everyone should try read more

My dive! Squirrel's will always have a special place in my heart. The food is excellent and generously portioned for a bar (get the squirrel burger), the ambiance is so extremely comfortable, and the staff was always short with me but sort of in that endearing way. I spent countless hours here in grad school. What a spot. read more

Absolutely delicious. Best burgers I've ever had. Generous portions and well worth the money. Atmosphere is friendly and happy. I love the cider they have too and I wish they'd expand their cider menu because I'm more of a cider drinker than a beer drinker. That being said, I can tell their beer selection is excellent. read more

Such a cool atmosphere & genial staff, with startlingly cheap prices to boot! The chicken sandwich is one of the finest of my life, and the upstairs is a legit pool player's oasis. Cannot recommend this classic corner bar enough. Edit: Cash-only. No signage I could see indicating so & the bartendress definitely didn't tell me before I'd racked up a tab. Not a fun end to an otherwise awesome time. read more

Wonderful staff, great food choices, good hours and great biscuits on the weekend breakfast menu. I met the owner and he was so nice! I'm new to squirrels, but definitely going back. read more

We are driving around Oregon from California. Wanted lunch somewhere local. Saw good reviews on Yelp. My husband had the Chicken Little sandwich and curly fries and I had a cold turkey sandwich. Both were great with some draft beers. Great vibe and friendly service. Already wanting to come here again on our way home. read more

You cant beat Squirrel's. Unpretentious. Good ordinary food at a good price. Really nice people. We've lived in Corvallis for over 40 years and Greg has been part of so many experiences for us. Off nights are best. You'll get more of a local feel when it's not so packed. read more

Absolutely fantastic food, great people, and Greg is the nicest, most friendly bar owner. Treebeards is giving them some competition during COVID for crowd, but Squirrels has amazing, like truly next level gourmet food! read more

One of the best places in town. Great burgers and fries. Amazing beer selection. Upstairs there is pool and Mrs. Pac Man.

Fun/spunky atmosphere. Lots of interesting things to look at inside. Drinks were unexpectedly good! Had some difficulty trying to order drinks at the bar considering the small crowd of people there. read more

A world class, funky dive bar with a great selection of craft beers, weird decor, and surprisingly good food. Get their famous Squirrel Burger, no rodents were harmed in producing this burger, and it's a great bargain for your buck! If you find yourself in the beautiful city of Corvallis, you owe it to yourself to visit Squirrel's, order a beer, get a burger!!! read more

Squirrel's Tavern - Bars Near Me - Corvallis, Oregon

Cannot recommend this place enough. Whatever criticism you have against this place for whatever reason, you cannot argue the fact of it's massively important place in both the history and culture of Corvallis. It's a sacred site read more

I have no idea why so many people love this place. And I mean LOVE... locals rave about this being a fantastic place for a beer. I gave up trying this place some 15 years ago, but someone gave me a ticket to the recent Dick Dale concert. How could I turn that down? Two stars because the bartender was friendly and the acoustics were better than expected. The french fries are also decent. The crowd was a weird mix of hipsters and crusty old guys with beards and leather jackets. I would've called 'em "bikers," but there were no bikes parked outside. Squirrel's loses a star for being a tavern without any actual booze. I hate beer, their wine selection is limited and overpriced, and they were out of the one hard cider they normally carry. Who runs a bar where you can't get a rum and coke in the 21st century? This isn't Utah. They lose another star for not taking credit or debit cards. The stage at Squirrel's is between the first and second floors. You can either be one of the lucky few who manages to grab a seat downstairs at the bar or one of the too-few tables, or you can crowd onto the staircase, or you can lean over the balcony from the upstairs pool area while some wasted old groupie who is standing on the bench gyrates into the side of your head. Even when she left, you are basically kneeling on a wooden bench awkwardly trying to see the band. I am a Dick Dale fan, and the show was great. I just wish it was somewhere else. read more

Worst bar in Corvallies Closes at 1 AM on a Friday after a Beaver football game and then tells you to leave your full beers. Smells bad Old pool tables and foosball table Bathrooms very dirty Expensive beer Rude bartenders Should have known it was a bad place by the number of people in the bar. Every other bar had lines out the door but Squirrel's only had around 20 people in the whole place. read more

Squirrels... Ignoring the obvious, like great beers, great people, and multiple decades serving as a defacto community center for Corvallians who like to swill, I think it's important to note that the Squirrel's kitchen provides the best value in town for a home-cooked meal: for the low low price of $7.50 one may enjoy the dinner special. It's always delicious, and it's always made from quality ingredients. I know, because I often see Greg shopping for the food that he serves. Thanks Greg, for everything you do! read more

No joke... one of the best burgers I've ever had. Fries were great as well. Service was awesome and the have very friendly staff. Pool tables, shuffle board, darts and Foose ball oh my. Good times! read more

Squirrel's Tavern - Pool sharks - Bars Near Me - Corvallis, Oregon

Grabbed lunch here yesterday and had the greatest experience. The food was delish the beer selection was well above average. Had a burger with fries that made my mouf water. The experience was only improved my the attentiveness of the friendly staff. The cooks were all smiles and the sweet bartender had this rocking Princess Leia look going. She made small talk, had good jokes, and our brew doggers were always full; all the signs of a true classic bartender. Due to her professionalism and kindness, as well as the rest of the experience i will always think of Squirrels Tavern as a first choice for corvallis dining and dranks. Oh yeah, I think the bartenders name was Denise. Thanks Denise all bars need one of you. #YouDeserveARaise read more

I love this place, and have for 30 yrs. A classic brick and wood tavern with an antique back-bar and a grill kitchen. So many towns and cities have a bar like this, it felt like going home the first time I walked in. The owner Greg is one great person, and often there working in the kitchen when he isn't traveling. The bartender knows craft beer as well as anyone I know. Great beer selection, local, regional, and beyond; wine too; and three of the best sandwiches in town: the cheeseburger can't be beat, "Chicken Little" is the closest thing to a DeFrisco's you'll find around here except when there's a festival, and the two veggie burgers are just fine, thankyou - even for a carny like me. Fries are the real thing, too. The only thing that's under par is the chili, I'm thinking it's to provide another veggie offering maybe, but it's not so swell. Everything else to eat is really good and the prices are very fair. Lunch and bev for 10ish. Pool tables upstairs. Music now and then. Seating outside for when it's nice. You may find smokers and dogs are OK in the outside area. Couple of TV's w/ sport &/or classic movies. Sound up or down by popular call. The crowd is mixed, mature, and jovial. All walks of life, no pretenses. Artists and builders, profs and researchers, retirees and musicians. Students too, in the evenings. If you're a 1% er or have a stick up your backside, or are an irony-snorting jaded hipster, you won't like it, and that's OK too. read more
