With an eclectic mix of pubs, lodging, movie theaters, spas and event spaces throughout Washington and Oregon, McMenamins is one of the largest hospitality providers in the Pacific Northwest – yet amazingly, no two spaces are the same. Since its founding in 1983 by brothers Mike and Brian McMenamin, the company famous for resurrecting cool old buildings and transforming them into places people flock to, has grown from one pub in Portland, Ore., to 52 locations. All provide a casual, relaxed atmosphere where children are always welcome and regulars are common. Its focus on creative community hubs, spectacular concert venues, love for art, vintage fixtures, vegetable/herb/flower gardens, and historic buildings draw loyal fans and admirers far and wide. Independently-owned, McMenamins continues to earn recognition for its reimagining of historic properties and artistic restorations that spotlight local heritage and bolster tourism.
Snapshot:
- 31 years in operation
- 52 locations in Oregon and Washington, including 9 historic hotels, 2 full-service spas, 5 soaking pools, 7 theater-pubs and more
- Focus on vertical integration with 24 breweries, 2 distilleries, a winery, coffee roaster, bakeries, and produce and flower gardens
- Approximately 6 percent annual growth since 2010
- 18 locations on the National Register of Historic Places
- Dedication to using salvaged materials in construction; repurposing demolition debris; recycling byproducts like oil, cardboard and plastics; and composting food waste whenever possible
McMenamins is possibly best known for two flagship projects. First there was the county poor farm in Troutdale, Ore., just 20 minutes from downtown Portland. Converted into a destination resort known as Edgefield, the 74-acre property now includes distinctive lodging, bars, restaurants, spa, soaking pool, premier outdoor concert venue, meeting and event space, brewery, winery, distillery, golf and gardens. Most similar to the Anderson School project was the renovation of McMenamins Kennedy School in 1997, now a neighborhood gathering place where guests sleep in former classrooms and enjoy food and beverage throughout the property. Both are premier Oregon attractions and vital community hubs.
Once an abandoned, condemned elementary school in a working class Portland neighborhood, the Kennedy School has been a busy community gathering place for 17 years. Similar in many respects to the Anderson School, Kennedy School neighbors use the meeting space, soaking pool and community garden at no cost. Popularity of the Kennedy School ultimately fostered additional real estate development, attracting a popular natural foods grocery store, creating demand for infill housing and fueling growth of the Concordia and nearby Alberta retail districts. It's a magnet drawing tourists from all over the world fascinated by the notion of willfully spending time in "detention" and falling asleep in class. Demand for Kennedy School overnight lodging was so high that a two-story wing with 22 rooms was added in 2012 to boost capacity.
