Santiam Brewing

(In the guy from Aladdin’s voice) FRESH FISH!!! We catch em you buy em!! My Dad and I ordered the Haddock fish and chips and my mouth is drooling from the memory. The crunch on the batter is superior and the fish itself was like butter. I used lemon, vinegar and their house tartar sauce. It was all good on the fish, I don’t even like tatter sauce- ew just mayo and pickles- but THEIR tartar sauce doesn’t even compare to traditional sauces. I almost ordered something else but dang, sure glad I spent the extra few dollars on the real deal. Order this dish if you love fish and chips! You will not be disappointed. The vibes were cool once we sat down, felt a little understaffed in the beginning, but we were sat within 10 minutes of arriving. You order from the bar once you’ve decided and they serve it to you. Our waitress was friendly and helpful with ordering. There’s an amazing chill room here for people who want to lounge with their drinks. I imagine they use the space for events also, but I loved all the cozy armchairs. There’s also a pool table and different types of seating available (bar tops/booths/tables/patio). It’s very British themed and fun to visit. My dad and I were calling each other blokes and what not.

I ordered the Stout and found it very enjoyable. I also ordered fish and chips which were jusy okay. I would definitely order another stout, but not likely to order the fish and chips again. I really liked Santiam Brewing and will go back, but will try some other dinner item.

Great british vibe. Portland Timbers on TV. Viscerally satisfying Brewers Pie...meat, cheese, exceptional crust. Fun staff. Cool vibe. 4 beers on cask.

Delicious maibock draft, nice soft sweetness. Fish n chips look dso good if didn't already have plans would have gotten plus some Shepard's pie, next time...

I've been coming here for many years and it's the best place to hang out, enjoy a great cask beer, play darts, and relax. Shay, especially, is fantastic and we look forward to seeing her! After we'd been coming for a few weeks, we arrived one day and Shay had a table reserved for us! We felt so we'll taken care of! Between the cask ale, the great staff, the British menu, and the dart boards, it's a great place to hang out!

I just thought I would give this place a try after looking it up, it's hidden in what appears to be in an industrial complex but don't let that fool you as it has any wonderful atmosphere and some outdoor seating which is also nice. The interior has a wonderful atmosphere and really has this wooden British pub feel to it. The waitress was wonderful and offered a few different brews to sample, which are also wonderful. Big plate of food as I got the turkey bacon club style sandwich with fries. You'll likely pay 20 to $30 per person here but it'll be worth it.

Delicious English food and atmosphere. The beers are excellent and I would recommend the large flight if you have a designated driver!

I have been here multiple times. The food is wonderful, but the atmosphere brings me back. I absolutely love the game room hanging out with friends having some great brews is the best. The staff is hit and miss, nothing horrible some can be a little uninformed of the ordering process or what’s on the menu. Most of the employees are rock solid.

Tried for the first time the other night for dinner. Very casual spot, order at the bar and given a number. Staff was all kind and attentive. It was packed, especially for a Wednesday night. It didn't take long to see why. The food is amazing! We got the scotch eggs and they were cooked perfectly and the mustard sauce paired well. The poutine was wonderful as well. The fish and chips, fish was fresh and flaky and seasoned well. The fries were hot and seasoned. My husband said the bangers and mash were really good also. Definitely will be back with the kids next time.

Cute British themed pub. The flights are great here with a wide selection of beers to try. My group agreed that the Spitfire was their favorite. They have a happy hour menu from about 11-6 PM and plenty of burgers, sandwiches and British pub food. My friends devoured their Ruben and burger. But when it came to the British pub food, my husband and I thought it needed an extra bit of something. Definitely just needed more seasoning beforehand like salt on the fish since it was haddock and the bangers and mash needed to be more acidic. I didn't notice it until the next day too that when I ordered my fish and chips I thought I ordered their smaller version but they charged me the more expensive one - so make sure to clarify when you are ordering. Overall not bad for a nice casual dinner with friends.

If you're looking for variety, this brewery has it in spades. What a wonderful spot! We ordered a 10-beer flight--and another beer flight--and still didn't manage to try everything on the menu. Definitely a place for beer lovers who enjoy exploring different styles. What makes this place stand out is its focus on British and European-style beers. Yes, that means some of them are served warmer than typical American brews, but don't let that throw you off--every beer we tried was full of flavor and really well-crafted. The variety was impressive, especially with so many British-style options, which you don't see often, especially at breweries here. The cider was also great, and the food followed the same theme: classic British-style pub fare. Just something to keep in mind--if you're into that, you'll love it. If not, the beer alone is worth the visit. The venue itself is fully decked out in British decor, and if you're a Portland Timbers fan, you'll feel right at home--they're big supporters and have scarves and soccer memorabilia throughout. That said, even as an outsider, I felt totally welcomed. Great environment, friendly staff, and a lot of fun all around.

Stopped on our way to visit my grandparents and discovered this cute little spot. They have 16 beers on tap plus 4 cask beers, offering a large variety. The venue has a very English vibe and is a lot of fun. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable. While the beer overall was a bit "meh" for me (I'm an IPA fan), I did find some hidden gems: Lady Embers for its smoky flavor, The Bramble for its fruity and refreshing taste, and my favorite--Bloody Hell IPA. We didn't try any food, but it looked good.

I loved this spot I almost missed it but sure enough I seen the patio area and a kid eating fish and chip! They made our food so fast and their root beer went good with our food. My boyfriend's pulled pork sandwich was also very tasty! The workers were friendly overall I had a great time and loved stopping by!

Ordered the wimpy burger and fries. Made to order. Enjoy the great music while enjoying your meal. A bit hard to find the restaurant especially at night.

Good food and great beer. Stopped in for lunch. We were the first people in after opening. Less than 15 minutes later, there were over 20 people in there for lunch. Ordered at the bar and sat wherever we wanted. Bartender was nice. Liked the British food vs American food. Good options to choose from depending on the mood you are in.

Arrived and sat myself as a friend was waiting for me. Order at the bar. Was able to sample some sliders Delicious food great service. I'm very nice ambience.

We dropped in on an overcast Tuesday early afternoon. The pub was quiet and we pretty much had our pick of table. Cute decor inside and the service was casual, friendly and helpful. I ordered the British fish and chips while my date ordered the Sheppard's pie. We had water. Our food came to the table in a reasonable amount of time and both were really good. We'll recommend this pub and suggest their happy hour specials too.

My partner and I have been coming to Santiam pretty much every Wednesday for the past nine months (our mid-week date as she lives in Eugene and I'm in Clark County). In that time, we've managed to eat just about everything on the menu (most many times) and have had most of the tap selections. First, the bad (not much!). The general area this place is in does not initially instill great confidence. It's in an out of the way industrial flex park. But parking is always easy even if the area gives off odd pub vibes. Also, sometimes they can get very really backed up because of staffing. While the staff there are GREAT (super friendly and generally quick), one larger party can make things really slow down at the bar (where all business must be transacted - they don't come out and take orders). And that's really it for the bad. Now for the good. The owner obviously has a thing for English-style pubs. Most of the food menu could come out of a typical London pub. The savory pies, rarebit, fish & chips, scotch eggs, sticky toffee pudding. It's all excellent. But there is also a lot of American style food, with burgers and sandwiches. Our go-to has been the cascade harvest salad (with roasted chicken). It's great with the candied filberts. We've matched it up with some much less healthy, such as the reuben fries, poutine, fish & chips, or a savory pie. They typically have a few desserts that are also very nice. For the beers, I have typically gone with non-IPA beers (although they obviously have some IPAs because who doesn't). They have a rum coconut stout that is pretty heavy, as well as a nice porter. They also have a few ciders, which appeal to my partner (especially a relatively dry cider). However, the highlight of the tap selection is the cask beers. They generally have 3-4 cask beers on tap, which is absolutely amazing! Pretty much nowhere in Portland can you find a pub with that many cask options. If you don't mind the slightly warmer temperature, I strongly suggest you try a cask option if available. The taste is different from your normal kegged beers, , often a bit more mellow than the regular versions (they will often have the same beers available as cask or non-cask), but much fuller and well rounded. But wow, this is one of the big selling features of Santiam in my eyes. One other thing. They have a big "speakeasy" style room. While it is often reserved for group events, it is open to anyone if not reserved and is a super cool place to chill. You won't know you're sipping pints in a flex space park to be sure! Just be sure to ask the bartender if a group is scheduled so you don't get booted out at some point.

If you're craving a true English pub experience, this is the spot in Salem. The fish and chips were perfectly crispy and authentic, just like you'd find across the pond, and the cask ale was spot-on. The service was warm and genuine, and the whole place has that welcoming neighborhood vibe that makes you want to linger for another pint. Great people, great energy, and truly great food. A must-stop if you're in Salem!

This is a great brew pub and restaurant. So many times you'll find a nice brewery, but........ no food. Santiam has it both - nice selection of beers and food. You have to order everything up front (no real table service) and they bring the food out to you. We shared a Shepards Pie and it was very good and enough for both of us. It has a nice wooden decor that is pretty comfortable. Good for groups or singles.

Very pleasant place. We go fairly early so it's not crowded and service is fine. It's pub food and actually has been good. Not a big fan of their beer. Nice decorations and an all round relaxed vibe. It is located inside a maze of small industrial style buildings and can be hard to find.

Apparently they don't have table service anymore or that evening. We were told by the bartender as we walked in that we would have to order food at the bar. OK, gotcha my husband went up to order and asked the bartender to clean the table. It had been used previously. She got kind of snotty about it. Didn't believe him that it was dirty. I ordered the British fish and chips, and I was very disappointed. It was very greasy. All I could taste was batter. The fries were hard and didn't taste fresh. Maybe the oil needs to be changed. Guess I won't be back there for a while. I might give them another try in a month or so

I was looking for a dog friendly spot to grab food and drink. Found this pub. They have inside and outside seating. You can sit outside with your dog, but you do have to go inside to order. Initially I wanted something else, but they were out of both items I wanted. I had the fried cod and fries and shared the Mac and cheese instead. The tartar sauce was lacking flavor, but everything else was pretty good. The Mac and cheese was cheesy. They have beer in tap. They also have cider. I had the cherry cider. It wasn't to sweet nor too tart. The girl that took my order was friendly.

Great folks, food and drinks. Rolled through town with my family including small kiddos and had a great experience. The Rooster British Ale is UK approved and $4 a 20oz pint dangggggg! Nuff said.

The people who respond to a review with cuss words are not a business I will ever recommend. Ordering food is easy but delivery takes awhile. Industrial location. Slow service. And good beer.the corned beef was tough and chewy. Just the facts, Ian, We will not be back. The end.

I had the Pub Burger and Caesar Salad. The patty lacked seasoning. No salt or anything else. The bun was dry. No mayo, dressing, mustard, ketchup. Came with a tiny portion of good French Fries. The Caesar: The romaine lettuce was wet when it was tossed leaving the salad bland. Yes, I requested extra dressing because of it. Salad had very little cheese or croutons. Disappointed since the burger was expensive at $21. Making a good burger or salad doesn't take a lot of skill.

Even if you don't want to drink...come HERE! And if you do want to drink, these guys do very good craft beer. I was in town on my own for the weekend and was HUNGRY after a long day of hiking, so I wanted a good, hearty meal. I got the burger, and it was nothing short of amazing. Good size, juicy, nicely cooked. Fries were great. I polished off the whole meal with a tasty beer. Then I ordered the sticky toffee pudding for dessert, and that was to die for! Service was quick, and they didn't judge me for reading as much as I did... or for only having one beer at a brewery (dried out from hiking).

Great British brewery! Great ambiance. I would recommend cask ales they have as often can find them and it is great flavored! Also the shepherds pie was great! The gal at the counter was knowledgeable and friendly and quick.

My favorite place for fish and chips. The haddock is my choice. So flakey and delicious. I don't care for the mushy peas, so I get something else.

I wasn't quite sure where our gps was taking us when we first arrived. It is tucked in a maze of business buildings. But what a fun little place once you get inside! I have never been to the UK but it looked like I imagine the pubs there look. Poutine isn't an item you see on a lot of menus here, so when it is on a menu I order it. I loved it! They didn't actually bring the right poutine out but I ate it anyway and it was delicious. I also ordered a salad to balance out my meal. My husband had the fish and chips and liked it. Oh and the onion rings were the best I've had in a very long time! I don't live in Salem but would visit here again if I had the opportunity. I would love to try out the pot pie!

Good service and good food. Nice beverage selection. Love the British details inside! Super cute..

I am coming for tea and scones. See you soon! I have heard that you have the best I-5 stop for delicious lunches Your Mac n cheese has been described as 'to die for'.

I have been meaning to go here every time I come visit Salem. Finally got the chance. Had their Fish and Chips. Very good. Did not disappoint. Steak Fries were crispy and the fish was battered just right. I also had their Cherry Cider and it was really good. Friendly staff. I will be back to try other items.

LOVE this spot. I will say there was construction going on and the fact it's a little hidden made this spot a little hard to find, but don't let that discourage you!! This spot was AMAZING!! I had the British style fish and chips with a pint of their local IPA. 10/10 My aunt had the beer batter style fries and beer Mac and cheese which we both thought was the best we had ever had. Shayla ( I hope it's spelled right!) was so awesome as well. We were there towards the end of the night and even while cleaning up took the time to talk to us and just made the experience that much better. Overall 10/10 in my book. If I am ever back in the area this is where I would go!!

I had a British girlfriend for many years. This was amazing British fare! Pies spot on! Bangers were incredible! Mash and gravy so yummy. The beer/ale was great! Couldn't find one o didn't love!!! The girls were so helpful and informative. My new fav place whenever I'm up here!!!

This is just about the only place a foodie with a puppy can go in the winter in Salem, and I'm incredibly grateful for it. Santiam Brewing serves up incredible fish and chips, pies, burgers, and happy hour with a heated, covered patio year-round. Santiam doesn't "have a vibe like an English pub", it *is* an English pub... that just happens to be on the wrong side of the world. Going here is a huge hit of nostalgia for my time living in London, and there is no better place for British comfort food in Oregon. The taplist is fantastic, the bartenders are charming and helpful, and while the food can take a while to arrive, it's well worth the wait. I have come here many times and will go many more.

Stopped by for dinner and it was my first time trying Scotch Eggs. They're quite heavy but they tasted very savory and I enjoyed trying it once. The service was super friendly as well. Seems like a great place for fish and chips and the likes as well.

We had my sisters birthday in the private room next to the brewery and it was amazing ! Staff was so accommodating and we had a great time! It's only $50 to request the room and it goes towards your check. Food was awesome! We will be back!

My boyfriend and I still come here a lot but one of my favorite things that was on their menu they don't sell anymore. They had a savory vegetation hand pie that I loved but they stopped selling it. That was my absolute favorite thing. The veggie shepherds pie is ok but not as yummy as the other thing was. I love their mushy peas too. The Pirate stout I enjoy as well. I'm a pescatarian and so the loss of that one pastie was really disappointing for me but I'll still get something there if I go.

The beer was pretty good. We ordered a flight and three of the five were good beers. The restaurant was less than half full and it took an hour to get our food. My paper thin chicken sandwich was good nothing special about it. My party guest ordered Shepard Pie it was gross. Missing peas and the red wine sauce. It did have a little bit of shredded carrots maybe some onions. Basically it was a bowl off whipped potato with old smelling lamb.

Warm atmosphere, friendly service, delicious food and tasty beer. Nick had the chicken sandwich and was satisfied with it. I *loved the poutine! They also serve a homemade vinegar chip that is a must try! I enjoyed their wheat beer and Nick had their Pilsner. Their beer was so good, that we took a 4 pack of each of the beers we tried.

Add on to previous post: Don't forget to hang out in the brew lounge next to the equipment area. It's a pretty cool throwback to vintage pubs with high-backed chairs that are super chill.

Excellent beer and service. Was in town visiting my son, and we found ourselves returning after our first visit. Our server was Shayla, who was great. We will be back!

good beer and great food. My partner, who doesn't drink beer, had the rabbit pie with mushy peas and chips, and declared it "the perfect lunch". The rabbit pie was delicious and the mushy peas, were by far the best I've ever had - and I lived in England for five years! . I also had the harvest salad - good, if a little overdressed - and a flight of 5 beers; my favorite was the Rooster, which was raisin-y and delicious. Cheers!

Grab a pint of any of there great beers on tap and don't forget the Amazing Fish & Chips!!!

Wow, I can't believe we haven't been here sooner! With menu options perfect for the pub like poutine and other favorites from other countries- this place has some great food offering and know what to pair with them. The vibe inside was like a secret club you are a member of with hip seating and an interior that is cozy and warm pub vibe! Fun atmosphere for a group and good selection for the food!

Visiting family for the first time in forever. Velp'd here and so glad I did. It's tough to find with nearly over road construction blocking the easy way but we did find it. Great ambiance and really really good beer. We were so pleased with everything my family insisted on coming back again a couple days later. Great family visit find! We'll probably go again before I leave too.

Tried the "famous" fish and chips, they were unimpressive to say the least. No flavor and just full of grease. Also had the lamb meat pie, no flavor as well and a small portion considering the price. Servers and atmosphere was nice just very low quality food, would not recommend.

Had a great day beer was fantastic. Service was good and the crowd there was very friendly.

We were curious about Santium when we pulled it up on Yelp and looked forward to some local, seasonal beer and grub. It's in an industrial area and behind other buildings so it was difficult to find. From the front it doesn't look like much but once you step in, it had great atmosphere with British paraphernalia everywhere. There were not many guests on a Tuesday night so the server was very attentive. I was surprised, however, that they were not promoting their beer. We had to ask questions and couldn't find a seasonal list of beers. The menu is very intriguing with both British and American cuisine. The food, however, was lackluster. We ordered the fish and chips with onion rings ($3 more) but both were greasy and poorly seasoned. We also got a half order of the Scotch eggs. The flavor on the dish came primarily from the breading not the sausage or the egg so I'm dubious about this tasking like the traditional fare. Had it not been for the good service and the nice atmosphere, the rating would have been a 2.

Diamond in the rough. Definitely worth giving a try. Food was great. Service was wonderful and friendly. Great for couples and families alike.

We ate here on a recent visit to Salem, OR and it was amazing. I wish I lived closer because the Poutine was incredible and the Brewer's Pie was melt in your mouth good. It wasn't loud, despite being a pub, and the atmosphere was warm and welcoming. My son had the fish and chips and the portions were huge. He told me the beer was very good too

Stopped here on vacation, looking for a different experience, and it didn't disappoint!! Love the tap room/pub atmosphere. My wife and I had the British Fish and Chips. No need to choose between a 2 or 3 piece, because you get one big piece and the fries are the right amount. I love the fact that even though potatoes are cheap(er), they don't waste them filling a big basket you can't eat. The fish was not greasy and was super flaky. I had mushy peas with mine and enjoyed them thoroughly. We also got the Scotch Eggs, that were something we had never had before, which I didn't think my wife would like (picky, when it comes to eggs) and we both loved them. The staff is super friendly and patient, as it took a while for me to decide between all the tasty items on the menu. Yes, there is a bite gone from the fish, and a few tasted beers in the photo. Forgot to take a pic before eating. We also got a half flight of beers (5), and really enjoyed the various flavor notes in each one. Great job Santiam!!

The brewery is full of life. This is our fourth visit. We have tried several different dishes and this time they have a few more on the menu. Tonight is max n cheese with crispy chicken, a wimpy burger, and a pub burger. The wait staff is amazing. Always friendly. Super attentive and getting drinks is fast and friendly! The restroom is gender neutral. I personally prefer having a ladies room but they keep it clean so... We have been here 10 minutes. Gotten our drinks (daddy loves the different beers ) and ordered our food. They make accommodations as requested with your order with no hassle. Oh. 15minutes and we are fed! Food is amazing, yummy, hot, creamy, and we are hungry! I was very disappointed when I got coated fries (I seriously dislike them) instead of the English chips. I figured they must have been out but then I saw them on other patrons plates. I had no idea they served them icky fries. Now I do. So I still say 5 stars BUT... Happy hour is very pocket friendly! You gotta come check this place out! We come not because it's close to our appointment. We come to our appointment with this place to look forward to afterwards! Thank you Santiam Brewery!

Five of us went for lunch. A bit hard to find but worth it. Got the British fish and chips, shepherd's pie with lamb, Scottish eggs, Mac and cheese, beer cheese on bread with bacon and jalps, and Caesar salad. Excellent food. Only one person working so a bit slow. Fun drink and beer choices as well.

Fish and chips are best in the US. I heard the owner is from England and uses the recipes from there.

English fish and chips are delicious here. Staff is friendly and service is timely. It's an English pub and looks exactly as it should. Clean spot.
