Does McMenamin's still cut you off after 4 beers ? A few years ago I went there for lunch and had 2 beers and left. I went back later for dinner around 6 PM (same bartender) and I was cut off after 2 beers because they had a company policy of 4 beers per person per day, no exceptions. I was staying at a Day's Inn right behind the pub and I was walking back after dinner. I could see it if I drove there and plopped down and chugged 4 beers but this was two different meals. Good beer, stupid policy. I never went back to McMenamin's and their "beer police".

I've never heard of such a policy at McMenamins. Must have had something to do with Todd's attitude or behavior. I was just at one of their pubs on Sunday afternoon and we each had around 6 beers over the course of watching games. We then walked home after having a burger.

Great bar in the Heathman. Also try Higgins, just a block away. Great restaurant (but pricey) and a good bar with lots of excellent beer choices and great 'tinis as well. Saucebox is a little farther away, but a great martini place. There are no real brew pubs right downtown, but Bridgeport in the Pearl is not too far and you can take the new streetcar to get there. There might be others in the Pearl, but I'm drawing a blank at the moment. check Citysearch.
