Often live music indoors, but, I personally love the patio! McMenamin's is a local PNW chain restaurant/brewery/distillery that is famous for creatively transforming existing buildings into eateries and hotels while still preserving their historical value.

This restaurant turned down a famous Food Network chef because they already have enough fame. There is always a wait! Best to arrive before opening, get you name on the list, and enjoy a stroll around the neighborhood while you wait (weather permitting), or, bring a book to read in the car. My favorite is the Creme Brulee French Toast!

The Great Outdoors

You will find a forested patch of easy trails to meander just right (north) of the boat dock. Bring a fishing pole to the shore of the Willamette for your enjoyment, or, a picnic. If you enjoy watching dogs at play, there is a fenced off-leash dog park. Other features include playground & amphitheater for summer concerts.

Very active park in downtown Salem. Enjoy a ride on the Sternwheeler or the Carousel. This centrally located park connects by walking bridges to both Minto Brown and Wallace Marine. Eco Earth on South end is a fun art installment while AC Gilbert Children's Museum is located at the North end of the park. Plenty of green space for setting up your volleyball net or tossing a frisbee. Amphitheater hosts multiple summer events. Playground, covered picnic tables at the pavilion.... so much to enjoy in this space!
