McMenamins Old Church & Pub

Location: McMenamins Old Church & Pub in Wilsonville. Sadly, the ampersand is entirely necessary, as the pub is not inside the church. Instead, it is a separate building entirely with an amphitheater courtyard connecting them.

This location is directly across from a Fred Meyer. I have even been to this Fred Meyer and had no idea this McMenamins was here.

Fellow travelers: Carye & my bike! We took the opportunity on MLK Day to hop onto the MAX, then the WES commuter train, so we could spend the whole day exploring Wilsonville.

Favorite light: After lunch we got to explore the Old Church and must have arrived at rainbow-o-clock: look at the beautiful patterns! They were by far my favorite lights at this location.

Carye liked this light in the main pub:

And look, it's the same light from the Zeus Café:

Favorite art: Because I am sad that Bonne's Ferry no longer operates, I loved this almost-tarot art most especially:

But the stained glass distortion lenses in the Old Church were a favorite, too:

Food: Old Church pizza, RC. Later we went to Sonic for a Sonic Blast.

Passport stamps: McMenamins Old Church & Pub, Bike. I haven't bought the expansion experience pages, but they were happy to stamp the back of my passport with the bike stamp, anyway. I wish I had thought to stamp my passport for the other locations I have biked to!

Other items of note:

• No shakes at this location! 
• No games, either, which is too bad because the place is huge and Wilsonville could totally use a nice place to play pool/shuffleboard/pinball.
• Before we went to McMenamins we went to the Water Treatment Park (a beautiful park, actually), the Graham Oaks Nature Park (also excellent) and Tranquil City Park. Afterwards we went to where Boone's Ferry used to be, Memorial Park, Town Center Park, and the Family Fun Center (where we tried the Soaring Eagle Zipline, I won an air hockey game, and we each took home a tiny glitter lizard).
