Wow, where to start....\r
\r
This place was once ran by a great couple who was always there for the community. They stayed open late, poured the beer heartily, had GREAT pizza and sandwiches. The service was awesome, not overdone or fake, just country goodness. To give you an idea, I probably spent nearly a thousand dollars a month on beer and food both to go and dine in. Basically this was my 'Go To' place to unwind and enjoy. I had no idea how dark the days where ahead for this little pub. New owners took over as the old owners retired. I was optimistic about the change. It didnt take long and all the old staff had left with the exception of one server who among the laundry list of bad habits include a piercing chronic laughter that shakes the walls.\r
The pizza I ordered to go after the initial transition literally looked and tasted like a young child had prepared it. The beer taps became excessively guarded by a staff more concerned with the possibility of OLCC making a suprise visit than making a jovial and comfortable enviornment. Its just plain bad. I have given the crew there a dozen chances or more to show improvement with no luck at all. I think perhaps the new owners would have been more suited selling life insurance than beer and pub grub. Dont go, Just forget it, try the 'Cascade Inn' for food and beer or even 'Char Burger'. Maybe keep driving and go to any of the fine brew pubs in Hood River.\r
Pros: In the Gorge
Cons: Bad Service, Stingy Bartending
