What was the very first McMenamins pub, opened by Mike and Brian McMenamin? The Barley Mill on SE Hawthorne in Portland. “We borrowed golf from Scotland as we borrowed whiskey. Not because it is Scottish, but because it is good.” -- Horace Hutchinson “Give me a woman who truly loves beer and I will conquer the world.” – Kaiser Wilhelm II How many McMenamins are there in the Seattle area? Three – Mill Creek, Six Arms and Queen Anne. Does each McMenamins pub brew beer? Nope – only our brewpubs and breweries do. They supply our other spots.
