History

McMenamins was founded by brothers Mike and Brian McMenamin, who grew up in northeast Portland, Oregon.[1] They trace the beginning of McMenamins to the 1974 opening of Produce Row Café.[1]

In 1985, McMenamins opened Oregon's first brewpub in the Southwest Portland neighborhood of Hillsdale.[3] Their first theater pub, and the first in Oregon, was the Mission Theater & Pub (1987).[4] The company then entered the broader hospitality business starting in 1990, when they converted a 74-acre site (that at one time served as the Multnomah County Poor Farm) into McMenamins Edgefield. By 1997, food accounted for over half of McMenamins' total sales.[5] The company opened its 55th location in April 2018.[6]
