Local favorite bar and restaurant near Mt. Hood

Tucked away in Brightwood, Oregon, we’ve been serving up hearty comfort food and cold beer since 1946. Known for our burgers, homemade soups, and the kind of service that makes you feel like family, the tavern is where locals gather and travelers find a welcome break. With rustic décor, a laid-back vibe, and an easy spot right off the highway, it’s the perfect place for a casual meal, a game of cards, or just swapping stories over a pint. Around here, good food and good company never go out of style.
