There is a bunch of fun to be had at this old school turned hotel. There are great options to dine and drink in many of the reimagined spaces within the school. The Courtyard had wonderful sunset views and cool vibe. We split a great Salad and some Tacos. The service was great and we could see that this area would be great for all meals. The bars have some great offerings and each have a unique feel to them.

A unique lodging option if you are visiting Portland. The rooms are basic but a good value for the price. Enjoyed breakfast in the morning. Got the breakfast burrito which was very large and enjoyable. Pay close attention to the lighting around this place. The lighting on our hallway and in our room was unique. The light fixtures in the restaurant for breakfast were varied and all quite different but they somehow worked all together from a design perspective. Very neat.

Absolutely delicious. The poutine is delicious and the beef stew was amazing. Very kind servers. We sat outside near the fire place and it was very comforting.

We stayed at the McMinamins Kennedy School Hotel on September 30/ October 1.The overall experience was great. The room was very clean and nice. The Hotel staff were great. Lots of outdoor seating in the Courtyard restaurant. The soaking pool was open, with markers to enable social distancing. It was wonderful to soak in the warm water.The reason I am giving 4 stars is that the bed was pretty awful. It was not comfortable at all.Other than the bed I highly recommend this hotel.

Our family loves the Kennedy School! Food is awesome, service is great, and their communal spaces are so cool and really inviting. Well be back again and again.

Phenomenal food! Excellent service and outrageous little nooks and stop-ins w hidden bars throughout the property! Make sure you make it to the boiler room!

I stayed here for a week while visiting Portland for the first time in early March. I had a single room just off of the soaking pool. The room was lovely, it was nice to have the white noise of people enjoying the pool, huge windows for lots of light, tall ceilings, and an original chalkboard! It was also quiet even during busy days, I didnt have any issues with noise from my neighbours or in the halls. Wandering around the school looking at all the old photographs and art was a treat too.I ate at the Courtyard each morning and evening, Im a homebody who likes routine! Guests get a parking pass for the parking lot. The gift shop just across the way from reception was great for small things to take home. Speaking of reception the staff I encountered were all friendly and helpful.It felt like a little local spot that was popular with people in the know. It was nice to see the space used by all sorts of people for functions or families during the day. The location was great as its very close to PDX but in the depths of a mature neighbourhood. Getting downtown was quick and easy.

I visited the gift shop to pickup birthday gift cards, wine, and some small tokens. They have a cute selection of a variety of items. If you are looking for something thoughtful or a bottle of libation, I highly recommend a visit.

Good service. Food was great I had a burger and the sidecar cocktail was fantastic but the building and the atmosphere were amazing! I love that a beautiful old building was given a new life! Gorgeous fun place! Definitely recommend!

What a weird fun place! Brewery, distillery, a bar, a restaurant, a hotel and a movie theater inside abandoned creepy elementary School. I came by just to check it out, and it ended up being one of the highlights on my trip to Portland, even with the theater being down

The beds and linens need an upgrade badly. The front desk clerk was very bothered to be there. The property is cool as it reminded me of the old elementary days.

Been here a number of times over the years and it never fails to be a great time!The soaking pool is great ( I prefer it when it’s not too crowded.), going to movies, grabbing lunch or dinner ( even breakfast) or just some tots and a ruby. It’s laid back, staff is friendly! Need to plan a trip back soon!

Out of all the locations, Kennedy School has the best atmosphere that my husband and I have gone to. We have been enjoying the decor of the english wing rooms. Food is wonderful and drinks are bomb. Dante, the front desk clerk was very helpful with making us feel attended to and welcomed

Loved it. Will definitely come again. Place has loads of history and their decorator has a fun chandelier obsession.

Super adorable and charming hotel. Vintage furnishings and the preserved aspects of the old elementary school make this place unique and the building is bursting at the seams with art.

Delicious food, good service and a fun funky vibe make Kennedy School a great place to visit. I cannot recommend staying overnight, however. The bed was very very uncomfortable and there was no A/C, making sleep nearly impossible. We will definitely return to visit the other small bars!

We were displaced from our home due to fires. Family member took us here for the first time. Food was above expectation for bar food. It was very clean and social distancing was well established. Our server/bar tender was exceptional. Very reasonably priced for the quality of food. I felt totally relaxed the second I walked in. Highly recommend.

This was probably the most unique and pleasant hotel that I have stayed in in over a decade and I travel often.

This is a great McMenamins location. They have numerous bars and their own brewery at this location. COVID has closed some of the bars but the main courtyard is open as well as seating inside that are spaced apart. They have a full bar as well as lots of beer and wine and the menu. The courtyard has a number of fire pits to keep you warm on cold days. There is also a hotel in site of you need a room. This is a fun place to hang out in this part of town.

We had a fun time staying here. We stayed for 2 nights and it was neat going to all of the different bars. The hot tub was definitely the beat part!

Had a quick snack and beer. Service was great from Blair. He allowed us to go off menu and order tots with queso. Kennedy School ROCKS!

I’ve always really enjoyed coming here as a child. The service is a little slow but the food and the drinks are worth it. There are a plethora of bars to choose from and I really enjoyed the fact that there was a soaking pool as well.

New menu, less pricy but less elegant. Good service. We love the artful and creative atmosphere!

Stopped in for drinks and apps. Had the curds and tots with cheese. Super delicious. Ask for Blair when dinning.

Went for the Harry Potter event. Loved everyone about it! Fantastic food and drinks and I loved the people getting into the theme. Only thing that could have made it better was knowing that butterbeer could be had at multiple locations, not just in the theater. But still an awesome experience!

This place is charming on so many levels. If its not haunted, ghosts have no taste. Get a stout milkshake. Youre welcome.

Kennedy school is always a good stay. Even during Covid-19 the staff is wonderful and the hotel feels good.

We arrived at 11:15am and barely anyone was there and we liked that. I ordered a sausage soup and tuna salad sandwich which was just okay, but he ordered salmon tacos special that was great! Service was very good. I would return.

So unique and fun!!! Would definitely stay at any of their properties. Service wasn’t overly friendly but not terrible.

Love Kennedy School. So much fun! They did such a fun, and safe, Halloween!

The building is as good as any mcmenamins. The staff is friendly and the quality is the same. The restaurant/movie theater/ soaking pool makes a great party pad. That said, the food is mediocre at best and the drinks are weak and expensive.

I fully enjoyed the space and the friendly service. I am never disappointed when I book a staycation at this location! Especially love the outdoor spaces, very peaceful!

One of our favorite hotels. We bounce around many McMenamin branded hotels but we had a very memorable NYE here. Beautiful artwork. Many fun bars. Comfy beds. And the food and drinks are pretty good too!

This place is amazing! I take all of my out-of-town visitors here. There are so many things going on in there! The artworks are amazing, from The Boiler Room, to the patio! The pool is also great!

Consistently wonderful atmosphere, staff, and food. Grateful for a pleasant and “safe” place to relax in Portland. Especially during 2020. Thanks!

Ate in the garden area, pretty and good casual vibe, despite every precaution taken to make sure safety was used, I was able to just about forget I was eating dinner during covid :p Staff and food where exceptional as well.

Good food and good service. The place was amazing!!

How many times have I been to Kennedy School, and I havent yet written a review? Where to begin?Growing up in the PNW, Id heard the McMenamins name thrown about in conversation several times, and had even frequented their restaurant locations in Vancouver, but my first true McMenamins experience, where you are absorbed and ensconced by their vision and unique aesthetic, was here at the Kennedy School. That was when I began to comprehend and appreciate the madness of McMenamins, and started to fall in love. A hotel that was once a school, complete with soaking pool, classrooms as bedrooms, multiple bars, a restaurant, and a fabulous facility just waiting to be explored? Is it haunted? What secrets lie hidden behind closed doors and false walls?My wife and I spent a Valentines Day night here in one of the cozy classrooms, soaked for an admittedly unhealthy amount of time in the pool, and have visited each location within enough times to fill out our passport page three times over. McMenamins hotel locations never fail to deliver, but Kennedy School holds a special place in our hearts. The vibe is comforting and nostalgic, the quality of service unparalleled. And who doesnt enjoy pretending to be a delinquent student, wandering the halls of their school drinking alcohol?This is as unique and memorable a location as can be found anywhere in the Portland area. Its the hotel equivalent of the Pittock Mansion: a time-lost wonder that deserves every rave review or remark upon its stellar reputation, but it has to be experienced to be appreciated. So hike up your backpack, tie the laces of your sneakers, and prepare to get schooled!

We stayed two nights and had so much fun. The bar was great. Shuffle board was cool. The staff was so friendly. I loved the free coffee. We had breakfast there twice and it was tasty.

Fine for a stop when its hot. We wanted one last evening activity so we stopped here. Walked the building. Had an 18 year old with us so could not go into any bars. Ended up in Cypress Room where he had dessert and we had a drink. Food appears to all be made in a common kitchen so took a bit. Clever concept. We enjoyed the self tour with guide printout near the gift shop.

Definitely one of the big highlights of my recent Portland trip. A former high school converted into hotel/restaurant/bar/movie theatre. I only took advantage of the latter two on Christmas day and loved every minute of it. Prices arent outrageous and free parking is available. If youre a craft beer lover, fan of history or just like seeing cool stuff make a visit!

Was very disappointed made reservations a week in advance the service was bad had a large party the food was came out at odd timing we did not get our food together as one would get done eating 2 more plates would come out not to mention the chicken wings was very dry. I was very disappointed it was a Birthday party for my Sin that drive here from Tacoma and the service was very bad I should of got the red flag in the beginning when they gave us water with no ice in it ... I dont think I would ever do that again.. This was the party for Sharon on October 3ed if you would like to look up what staff drop the ball after paying $250.00 bill all together...

Great place for a meal or drinks. Very personable staff who will share the history of the school. Extremely unique place with a variety of bars all with their own unique vibe/atmosphere. We didnt see the hotel rooms so I cant review that part of the School.

Love the vibe and drinks! Unique experience - must do

Always enjoy the quirky themed Mcmenamins hotels. Great food, quiet location, nice employees, clean rooms. Really liked each room has its own bathroom, not all of their hotels do.

This could be 5-stars if it wasnt just another boring McMenamins menu.

Was a great experience but the service at two of the bars were very bad as far as being polite. The hotel portion was great but very uncomfortable beds. Hard, hard

Typical McMenamins food, great place to eat! Love this place, honeymooned here in 1998! But just like every other place in town after COVID the prices are sky high, youd think you were in NY!

Another fun McMenamins! Movie theater is really awesome. Has couches and chairs, with food and drink delivered to your couch but the layout is really enjoyable. Soaking pool is amazing! Perfect on a cold night though the windows do make you feel like a fish in an aquarium when people watch...

We stayed two nights with kids in August. It was our first time traveling during the pandemic and we were reassured by the cleaning and safety measures happening across the property: everyone wore masks, hand sanitizer was freely available (made by McMenamins too), tables and chairs were sprayed after use, people were distancing, etc. We ate several meals at the courtyard restaurant and on the front lawn, which were large and tasty. We also enjoyed sampling all the beers and ciders - super refreshing because it was 90+ outside most of the time. The kids loved exploring the property and looking at all the artwork on the walls. We’d love to come back - everyone working here was so friendly and the property has so much character.

This establishment is so unique. I would have loved to explore it more, but we were short on time. The food was good (the Brussels sprouts are a MUST). I bet the hotel rooms are fascinating!

Iconic Portland stop. I always bring friends from..out of town because there is so much going on. They always love it and so do I.

What an amazing building. Talk about taking a piece of history and turning into a profitable business.Restaurants, movie theater, bars, hotel and coffee shop. All this in one!

Worst possible food service Ive experienced. My wife and I have visited this place only to eat. For the past few months weve been going there about twice a month. I like their beer selection and the food is not too bad for brew pub type fare. The biggest problem that weve noticed with each visit, is that we are seated and forgotten about. When finally ordering a beer and a glass wine, we typically have to wait 20 minutes for that arrive before an order of food can be taken.Last Friday (Oct. 16) was simply the last straw and will be the last time that we go out there again. Initially being sat down at 6:50pm, our waitress finally made it to our table at 7:15pm (it wasnt even very crowded at all). When she arrived we ordered a beer and a glass of wine and food (after asking if we needed some more time to look at the menu). I said, no, 25 minutes is enough time to look at the menu.Our drinks arrived from someone else at 7:38, which was 23 minutes later. So, 48 minutes to finally get our drinks (no water was ever brought). Our food arrived at 07:50 (brought by yet another individual not our server), almost 40 minutes after ordering it. My order was completely wrong and when I pointed it out, that person looked at the ticket and said, well thats what it shows. When I said Id like the correct order he left to put it in. At that time he failed to noticed that both of our drinks were empty, yet didnt ask if we wanted a refill. When I pointed that out he said, Well, youll need to do that with your server and walked off.It had been nearly an hour now and all weve had is one beer and one glass of wine. Still waiting on my correct order. When a third different person arrived with my food order, it was not just wrong, it was completely wrong. Its like they didnt even listen. He set it down, and said well if you like you work on this while we can get the order going (again).Mind you we have been here now for an hour. Our server had NEVER once circled back to even check on us... hows the food? do you need a refill? etc. We watched her flit all around other tables, but she never came over to us once in the space of an hour. Others who had come to us to drop off my incorrect meals would not get refills or water, but kept saying that our server would have to do that.Finally, the third attempt at bringing me my correct order yielded success... after 70 minutes of being completely ignored. Still no refills offered for our drinks or water. I finally had to have the manager come to our table so we discussed the poor quality of the service. She was polite and accommodating and I will give her credit for that. She made sure that we had our refills, water and anything else we needed while we watched in curiosity as our original server still flitted around every other table in her section, except ours.Going on nearly 2 hours after arriving, half of that time waiting to be served, we had eaten and lo and behold, been given a refill of our drinks. Our original waitress was now at the table next to us receiving their tab and chatting with them. She loudly told them how pleasant they were to serve and how everyone was so great tonight.... Except for THAT one table nodding over at us. We could clearly hear her say that. My wife and I looked at each other with stunned confusion, not believing what we heard.Again, we spoke to the manager about that piece of rude behavior. There was no way we could have mistreated her, because she NEVER circled back to our table to even talk with us.This event was the worst we have ever had here, but the miserably slow service persists with all of the servers here. Every time we go we have to get up to find someone to come by and either take our order to begin with, or to please bring us a second refill on what we are drinking. Weve been served by most of the servers there and the experience is the same.This is Portland. There are tons of other options. Never coming back here again.

This is the second McMenamins location Ive been to and once again, they did not disappoint! I ordered the veggie burger which can be hit or miss depending on where you go and theirs was delicious. Service was on point and we ate out in the Courtyard which was the perfect setting to enjoy a lunch with friends. My friend ordered a beer tasting. I dont actually drink because I dont like the taste of beer but I did try a couple sips off ones she thought were interesting and they were surprisingly okay. If you are the kind of person who likes a wide selection of craft beers, this is a good place for you. I have loved all my experiences at McMenamins and plan to visit more locations. Highly, highly recommend.

Different in the best sense of the word; amazing preservation and artistry. The Boiler Room bar is a masterpiece. Understandably popular, but if I had to sum up our brief stay in one word, it would be peaceful.

I used to love this place but the last time I was here I had a terrible experience and it was really sad because if was a dinner date that was just ruined by terrible service and a very rude staff. I understand times are weird because of Covid but they literally threw our dinner into doggy bags and had us eat 80 bucks worth of food in our hotel. They let us order before they told us they had a hard close and we couldnt eat there. We were baffled. Avoid at all costs.

Initially we thought that the place was a bit creepy, but once we entered the restaurant, we knew we made the best decision to have an awesome dinner here. The service was great, and the delicacies were all so well prepared. I loved the ambience of the restaurant, and the whole place in general. Very well maintained and beautifully kept. The chicken rice bowl I ordered was delicious! Loved the hummus and pita bread. The salads, burgers and sandwiches were decent too! Would love to visit again!

Great experience. Lots of local history

Had lunch in this cool eclectic restaurant. Service was good and so was the food. Neat place to eat while in Portland. Clam chowder and fish tacos and lemonade in the pics below.

Really cool atmosphere. Being only a dozen people, food took 45minutes to get to us. Staff were friendly and polite. Food was ok. For all of their reputation I did expect more from the food. I would go back to give it a second chance.

Great venue, descent food, typical beers, which are all descent, nothing outstanding. Multiple hang outs for beer. Nice outside seating. Desc not movie theatre. Overall pretty nice place.

Pretty darn fun spot, lots of things to see and lots of pictures to share. Food was good, service was good, excellent drinks. Better find the picture from 4/8/43 to get your desk stamp folks. Good music as well, just go check it out! Lastly you can get all your stamps at once to get your prize!!!

We have stayed here before and I keep hoping the service will improve, but alas mediocrity seems par for the course. Most recently we stayed for an afternoon wedding and I called in the morning to see if we could check in early. They said that they could not make any promises but they would check. Upon arrival, only an hour early, the room was not ready. Even at check in, the room was still not ready. The front desk offered only a “sorry”, not even a complimentary drink for doing absolutely nothing in the way of helping us after we paid almost 170 for the night. Also, this is during COVID, meaning we literally counted less than 10 cars in the parking lot. Frustrated and disappointed with little to no time to get to the wedding.

Staying at the Kennedy School really encompasses the vibrancy of the McMenamins experience. Our room was in the English wing of the grounds, and it had a large and very comfortable bed, as well as a nice bathroom and plenty of room to spread out.It was so fun to be able to bounce around the hotel, visiting the different bars, grabbing a bite to eat, and getting a chance to visit the outdoor soaking tub.The staff is always helpful, and checking in and out was a breeze. If you get a chance to stop in even just for a brief visit, you won’t be disappointed!

While the building and the outside patio were very cool, poor quality food and drinks. Nothing very unique about the food. Service was nothing to write home about. Not the last night in Portland we were hoping for. Disappointing.

Love love love McMenamins but this one is at the top! Set in an old school with old school vibes, you cant beat this place. Room service, bars and restaurants all with different themes make this stay a memorable one. This was the 2nd McMenamins we stayed and by far one of the best! Great place for a day trip as well if youre close.

Absolutely beautiful. Came over from Ohio for vacationing and stayed 5 days. I dont want to spoil it but if you get the chance to check it out, go for it!

Unique Pet friendly hotel with bars, restaurants and a soaking pool. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Really enjoyed our stay. Never got to try the soaking pool, it is open to the public and was always packed. I recommend the Honors bar and of course their famous tots you can order from any of their bars or restaurants.

Beautiful hotel with a nostalgic mood, very pleasant atmosphere. Service in restaurant was a little too slow and understaff ...but they were very nice, even when they were obviously stressed (staff) . I will definitely come back

Came here to beat the heat because I have no a/c in my apartment. Wish it were colder in the room, but cant complain too much on a 98° day. The food is good.

A beautifully done repurposing of a school.Great artistic touches inside, beautiful garden outside.

Accidentally stumbled across this hidden gem while trying to take advantage of all that Portland has to offer over the three day weekend. The atmosphere was exactly what we were expecting, dimly lit hallways that lead to even dimmer lit bars that were spread out across the school. The first bar my wife and I checked out did not have wine or bloody marys but they quickly redirected us to the nearest bar down the hall that had both! They also have a theater, hotel, and estaurant which we did not get to experience with my limited time to stay. This place was too much fun.

Always a great place to meet up for good food, drinks, atmosphere, and service.

Adorable hotel in an old school. Staff is super friendly and helpful.

Always fun, in true McMenamins fashion.

My favorite place to visit in Portland it has everything a great little theater with couches for seating that you can drink and eat inside of as well as several little bars and the best is a soaking spa you have to check in at the front desk with your ID and then you can soak in the pool for an hour. you can’t be there brewery and local favorites also get a passport and go in a little discovery all around town at all their other different locations.

Awesome place, I plan on going back during a different season so I can explore more of the outside and finish visiting all of the rooms indoor. We went to dinner on Christmas eve and I ordered amazing tacos (cant remember their name) I will dream of these tacos. The staff was all quick and didnt mind my many question and took the time to explain different meals and good pairings for drinks. Overall amazing and I cant wait to return!

Portland has a sign in their downtown that says Keep Portland Weird! It is this quirkiness that makes Portland so special!Only in Portland could you have a couple of brothers who have built an incredible enterprise buying, rehabbing and re-establishing old businesses, schools and other facilities and turn them into something so different you just have to visit them. The Kennedy schools hosts restaurants, movie theater, and hotel accommodations that you just have to try!What I really love is the employment of local artists who help to create such a unique and memorable environment!

My 1st time to stay at any McMenimins. I felt like I was a kid at Great Wolf Lodge. Enjoyed checking out each pub to get my various Passport stamps (no drink purchase required but...hehe) and ending the evening in the Soaker Pool. (A kid in a candy store).

Had a delicious Burger and Fries here. Building was beautiful with eclectic decor!

This is one of my favorite places. The history as with everything to see was amazing.

McMenamins Kennedy School is a grand adventure for beer enthusiasts and amateur historians alike. The facility and grounds possess a charm absent from most bar, restaurant, and lodging establishments.PROsThe staff was amazing across the board, from check in, to bartenders, to servers. All parts of the facility were clean. Our room was amazing; large room, king bed, private bathroom, and decor to compliment the schools history. We grabbed a burger at the Courtyard restaurant. I enjoyed the beer 101 package which got me TWELVE 4oz samplers of their beers. I enjoyed the Terminator the most. We also enjoyed the Honors bar and The Boiler Room. In the morning, I grabbed an americano from the gift shop espresso bar. Good tasting coffee!CONThe coffee branding. Everything in the Kennedy School is either branded McMenamins or the Kennedy School. I was excited to see this at the coffee bar. Instead I found the menu to read Espresso, Americano, Latte, Mocha. My drink was served in a cup I would expect at a Motel 6. Now, the coffee was really good, but the presentation was disappointing. Bring the coffee stand into the fold with the rest of the school!

One of a kind experience. Take a walk around the school. Our next visit, we will definitely plan for a stay. If theres time, grab a beer or a glass of wine and enjoy a movie in the theatre sitting a comfy couch. Walk around the school and have dinner at one of the fancy restaurants in it. All in all it was a unique experience for us.

Very cool place, excellent food, fantastic service, and good beer! I will definitely come back!

I have never stayed at a McMenamins hotel or gone to their restaurants. I live out of state and come to Oregon/Washington to visit my daughter in school. We met in Portland to exchange cars and decided to give Kennedy School a try. The property is truly unique and amazing. It was crazy busy on a Sunday afternoon, but soon it cleared out and we were able to take in the whole atmosphere. The art work on the walls is so unique and beautiful.. you truly feel like you are in school again. Yes, it does smell like an old building, but you get use to it. The room itself was huge and very comfortable. Not a lot of amenities like TV/Coffee pot, etc. But again, you get use to it and they have free coffee every morning in the lobby. We enjoyed several of the bars and restaurant during our stay. The food and service was excellent. We also caught a movie which was totally fun! I will search these properties out in the future. A great experience!

Lovely location, fantastic art & hidden gems.

Food was great! So is the service and ambiance. Can be a bit spendy though.

Wonderful art and restoration. Lovely atmosphere. Chalkboards in the rooms.

Superior service very clean. Food was exceptional and cocktails were very well made. Staff were really friendly.

So many things to do here! There’s a movie theater and soaking pool that is free to use if you stay the night or the public can pay to use them. They have gathering events such as scientific talks, political meetings and other community events. The school is now turned into many hotels and small bars. I was very surprised to see that each room has a private bathroom. Lots of other locations do not have private bathrooms. Great coffee in the morning and they give you a mason jar to fill with cider or beer if you want. I filled it with ice and water at the courtyard restaurant. Which reminds me I got a strawberry rhubarb pie there and it was so good. First time I’ve ever had McMenamins dessert.

Great Living room Theater for all ages! They serve New York Style pizza and beer while you lounge... Its a fun place to stomp around because its also a hotel with a pool, whiskey bar, full restaurant, theater, cigar room, and pizza bar. The building used to be an elementary school a long time ago. Photos and murals of the the Kennedy Schools past color this place with a playful mystery.

Kennedy School never disappoints. The food is as expected, service was fantastic, and they have adapted well to social distancing recommendations.

What an amazing place! I SO wish McMenamins would develop something as economical, delightful, and unique in Olympia!!My daughter and I went for a film there where we were able to order food and eat it in there. I knew that. But and delighted by walking by I didnt know that wed walk past windows looking out on steam pool, filled with happy family members enjoying each other for a nominal cost, nor that we would walk by tiny bars in former small classrooms! The best bar name, of course, is Detention. :~]Its like something I would make up in a dream, only to be disappointed upon awakening. If I were living in Portland, Id be a regular. I actually wanted to see each of the coming attractions, and believe me, that is not the norm for me!

Wow! This place blew my mind! It was eerie, funky, old schooled, unique. I’ve never experienced anything like this. My friend and I are at the Courtyard, I give it a three because service was very slooooow. They took a long time to order our food even though it was not busy. However, food was bomb! I had the Elk burger with coffee-bacon jam yummmm!

Such a fun and fantastic place to hang out!

A very different atmosphere but these guys still hit the mark for creativity turning a historic school into a restaurant, bars and more all in 1 location (an old school). Keeping the themes of the rooms but converting them accordingly. Dont let it being a school fool you tho, the food is not cafeteria food. Its actually quite good and the service is helpful especially with the large beer and other drink selections to choose from. Prices are reasonable. There are places to explore and just kick back all over the school grounds and best yet, no hall monitors or teachers to yell at you. Even for roaming in the teachers lounge.

This is a must visit place! We loved it so much that we went back a second time on our trip to the west coast. Beautiful repurposed old school house, now a hotel, restaurant, and many unique bars incorporating the original building and its contents as much as possible. Prices at the Boiler Room bar were surprisingly low and so was dinner. It was fun to walk around the halls looking at the art of the children that attended the school back in the early 1900s.

The mcmenamins Kennedy school is one of the prestigious locations. idk how things are gonna change there now with the covid issue but its worth looking into for a great night of dining & fun.

I always enjoyed spending time at a old school that turned into a pub and restaurant. Especially spending time with my brother.
