Launch your quest to fill your very own McMenamins Passport with stamps from all locations, and become a Cosmic Tripster! On your journey you'll visit your favorite pubs, all while discovering new ones. You’ll be granted prizes along the way, ranging from free tots, burgers and appetizers and goodies to exclusive Passport pint glasses, T-shirts, a growler and other merchandise. Every stamp you gather counts, so journey across the McMenamins land, and you’ll earn the grand prize for completion!

Our official, free McMenamins smartphone app has a "Passport Tracker" you can use in tandem with your paper Passport. Want to see where Purple Haze is on tap, or what time Jerry's Ice House Bar is open? There's our app for that! How about the number of stamps you've collected on the North/Northeast Portland page? Yup, it's there! The app gives real-time looks at locations near you and their open times and offerings, as well as a function for you to "stamp" locations and experiences you've completed.

Passport FAQs

Getting Started

Q: What the devil is a McMenamins Passport?!
A: The McMenamins Passport is your way of keeping track of all the McMenamins locations that you visit--and our way of rewarding you for doing so! When you visit any McMenamins, ask your server for a stamp. The server will then ask you to find or engage with a piece of art or something unique about that spot. Once you complete your task, you’ll get that stamp! You can receive stamps just for visiting our locations and completing this task, but the stamping doesn't stop there! Click here for the full list of rules and details.
Q: Thirty-five bucks! Why do I have to buy a Passport? Shouldn't you just give it to me as a loyal fan?
A: Exclusive Passport T-shirts, custom growlers….you’ll be given these and so much more along the journey, just for collecting the location stamps – making it all worth the initial cost. Passports are sold at all our locations or online.
Q: Can I share a Passport with someone else?
A: No, each Passport and its unique number is assigned to an individual. This means your friends, family, co-workers, neighbors...will all have to get their own Passports, but can share in your journey by gallivanting together!
Q: Can I buy a Passport if I'm not 21?
A: No, Passports are only for those 21 and older. But it's a great thing to ask for as a present for your 21st birthday.
Q: Can I give a Passport as a gift?
A: Yes, you can give them as gifts, but the recipients must be 21 or older.
Q: Can I use the ‘Passport Tracker' within the McMenamins app to track my stamps instead of my printed Passport?
A: No, the handy gems in our app are to help you along the Passport journey, so keep ahold of your actual Passport to redeem prizes and gather actual stamps.

General Rules

Q: How long do I have to fill my Passport?
A: You can take as long as you want; the Passport doesn't expire. So whether it takes you two months or years...take whatever time you need to gather all the stamps to complete your Passport.
Q: Can I use 2 Passports at the same time?
A: No, only 1 Passport per person. When you finish one you can start another though. You need to become a Cosmic Tripster and have the completion stamp on the front cover from a McMenamins Hotel before you start that next Passport. Maybe do the next one in the order the locations opened!
Q: Can I help my friend/partner/spouse by getting their stamps because they couldn't make it to the pub?
A: No, only the owner of the Passport can receive stamps and prizes for that Passport.
Q: I'm a Cosmic Tripster--can I get a new Passport?
A: Yes! Just remember: when you begin gathering stamps in that second Passport, you can only use one Passport at a time, so that first Passport will need to be retired, just used to show your Tripster status. Also, you can only complete two Passports per year, so take your time and enjoy the Quest.
Q: What is the Passport Code of Conduct?
A: Please read up on the Code of Conduct here. It outlines our expectations and the agreements you are making by taking part in the Passport program.

McMenamins Portal

Q: What's this Portal I keep hearing about?
A: The McMenamins Portal is your one-stop Passport management center. You can register new Passports here and it will make the process of becoming a Cosmic Tripster sooooo much easier. Also, registering your Passport is the only way that you can receive a new Passport if you lose it.
Q: What else can I do with the Portal?
A: Once you become a Cosmic Tripster, you will use the Portal to claim your concert or movie tickets and book your Cosmic Tripster hotel stays.
Q: What happens if I do not register?
A: That’s OK, however you will need to register at the hotel Front Desk when you become a Cosmic Tripster, and that time would be better spent celebrating your Quest!

Gathering Stamps

Q: Do I have to purchase anything to get a location stamp?
A:  At the moment, Passport stamps are available when you make a dine-in or to-go purchase. This means that you will need to purchase something at each location to get the stamp.
Q: What if I go to a location and one of the bars are closed that I need to get a stamp from?
A: You'll have to come back when the particular bar is open. We recommend that you check ahead for hours of the small bars, especially if you're taking a trip just to get the stamps in your Passport. The small bars with limited hours are notated with an asterisk (*) on the actual Passport.
Q: What happens if you open a new pub before I'm done getting all my stamps?
A: You'll need to add the new location to your journey and get that stamp before you can complete your Passport. Please see this page for the list of new locations you may need.
Q: Do I have to get all the experience stamps to fill my Passport?
A: No. But we sure hope you try as many of them as you can. (Plus you get a $20 gift card for every 4 you do). See the "Experience Stamps & Beyond" section below for more information on these stamps.
Q: What if I've essentially been doing my own Passport and I already have a list of every McMenamins I've gone to?
A: That's awesome! And as much as we appreciate your patronage, we started fresh in order for our stampers (a.k.a. our many employees) to have a straightforward, official Passport to stamp based on your smiling face showing up in their location. So you'll have to purchase a Passport and start your journey again in order to receive the prizes. The road to the grand prize begins with one small step into a pub....
Q: Darn it, the dog ate my Passport! I dropped it in a puddle and it disintegrated! OK, so I lost it, what now?
A: If you registered your Passport number online, we will replace it. Please see the Lost or Damaged Passport section for details.

Extra Steps designated by a Camera or Tix Icon

Q: What does the Camera icon mean?
A: At some hotel locations you'll have to take a photo to get your stamp. Head to the hotel front desk to see what piece of artwork you need to find. Once you find the artwork, take a photo (selfie!) with you and the artwork and show the hotel front desk staff to receive your stamp.
Q: What does the Tix icon mean?
A: The ticket icon indicates that tickets are needed to get inside that location and get your stamp. Note: There are some free shows, tours and/or special events such as birthdays that do not require purchasing a ticket to get the stamp. These locations do not have a task associated with them for the stamp. Entry into the venue is enough for the stamp. Locations include: Crystal Ballroom, Lola’s Room, Elks Temple Spanish Ballroom, Bagdad Theater and Mission Theater.

Prizes

Q: I gathered all the stamps on one page. Do I have to get my prize right now?
A: Nope! You don't have to redeem your prize on the spot when you get your final stamp in a Passport region.
Q: Ok, but now I do want my prize for finishing out a region. Can I get my prize at any McMenamins?
A: You can only redeem food prizes at locations that also offer food prizes. For example, if you gather all the stamps on Page 8 for "Hawthorne Boulevard" locations, you'll need to claim your prize at a location where the Passport prize is also food. Additionally, we ask that you please inform staff that you are claiming your Passport prize at the time that you order. Our staff will thank you!
Q: My prize says it's a "Burger of your choice" what qualifies as a burger?
A: If it's under the burger section on the menu or has burger in the name, it counts! The same goes for sandwiches and appetizers. These are available to-go as well.
Q: I love the exclusive Passport prizes, like the t-shirt from Roseburg or the custom growler; can I buy one for my friend?
A: These prizes are just for you, the Passport holders! While we don't sell any of these items, all one needs to do to get one is buy a Passport and start stamping.

Experience Stamps & Beyond

Q: What is an Experience stamp and how many Experience stamps are needed for an Experience prize?
A: When you participate in an Experience activity (defined in the Passport itself) you can receive a specific stamp. All Experiences are listed either in the Passport on pages 4, 5 and 6, or in the Passport Insert. Examples: Play a Game (shuffleboard, pinball, pool), Buy a Pint of McMenamins Hard Cider, Tour the Edgefield Winery, Stay the Night at a hotel, Relax with a Spa Treatment, and many more! For every 4 experiences completed, you earn a $20 gift card. The gift cards can be claimed at any location, but not all Experiences are available at all locations. See below for details.
Q: Can I pay for my experience with the gift card after I get the stamp?
A: No, you have to purchase the experience and then get the gift card. For example: you cannot buy a beer flight and then pay for it with the gift card you’d get after the flight.
Q: Do I have to get all the Experience stamps to fill my Passport?
A: No. But we sure hope you try as many of them as you can. (Plus you get a $20 gift card for every 4 you do).
Q: For the Experience stamps, if I stay the night four nights in a row can I then get a $20 gift card?
A: Nope, only one stamp per Experience. But if you stay the night we're sure there are other Experience stamps you can get during your stay, so you may just earn that $20 gift card after all.
Q: Why are there blank pages in my Passport?
A: We have many "just for fun" stamps that you can collect along your journey. Wine month stamps, Ruby's Birthday stamps, and Irish Stout seasonal ale stamps are just a few examples...new stamps can pop up at any time. We will inform you of new stamp opportunities in our Passport emails (sign up here!) and on the McMenamins Passport Facebook page.
Q: What if I have a cool McMenamins experience and want a stamp?
A: This is why we developed the “Just-for-Fun” stamps for many of our events – so you can gather cool stamps in the back pages of your Passport showing you were there! There are no prizes affiliated with the gathering of just-for-fun stamps. This includes [but is not limited to]: Edgefield Concerts on the Lawn, McMenamins Brewfests, property birthdays, holiday events such as St. Patrick’s Day, and stamps received at the Cosmic Tripster parties.

The Passport "Insert"

Q: What is the Passport insert and is there a cost?
A: The Passport Insert is a separate set of 8 experience stamps (leading to two $20 gift cards!) which are not included in the main Passport. The cost of the Insert is $5.00. The Insert also comes with extra pages if you're running out of room collecting all those "just for fun" stamps.
Q: Can I only get the "Make Merry at McMenamins on Your Birthday" stamp on my actual birthday?
A: The stamp can only be received on your actual birthdate; bring your photo ID so we don't have to guess how old you are.
Q: I want to get my "Have a Pint with Your Pup" stamp. Can I get this at any McMenamins?
A: Not all locations are pet friendly; check our pet friendly page for a list of locations. Once you know where you're headed, just bring your living, breathing pet out for a pint and we'll give you the stamp. One stamp per pet per visit.

Grand Prize

Q: I did it! Now, where do I get my grand prize?
A: The grand prize and your final completion stamp deeming you a "Cosmic Tripster" are available at any of our historic hotels.
Q: Do I have to go to a hotel to get my last stamp?
A: Yes and no. You can get your last stamp at any location. However, to be officially done with your Passport and to get your grand prize and to start taking advantage of your year of happy hour drink prices, you have to get a completion stamp in your Passport. Those are only available at our hotels. Lucky for you, we have 12 hotels.
Q: Are there a limited number of grand prizes?
A: No. Every person who fills their Passport will get the grand prize--not bad for a $35 investment, eh?

Cosmic Tripsters

Q: I'm a Cosmic Tripster and get my drinks for happy hour prices. Can I buy drinks for my friends at this price, too?
A: No. The happy hour price only applies to you, even if you're nice enough to buy their drinks. But anyone in the group can make a toast! Additionally, we ask that you please inform staff that you are claiming your Cosmic Tripster happy hour discount at the time that you order. Our staff will thank you!
Q: Does the Cosmic Tripster Happy Hour pricing apply to flights? Or food?
A: Yes to flights, no to food. As of January 1, 2019 all beverages on the Happy Hour menu are eligible for the Cosmic Tripster discount. However we are not able to extend the discount to food.
Q: Does my Cosmic Tripster happy hour discount extend to specialty cocktails?
A: Maybe. The Cosmic Tripster happy hour discount only applies to beverages that are actually on the happy hour menu and regularly get discounted during that time. So if there is a cocktail on the happy hour menu, it gets the discount, otherwise no discount.
Q: I'm a Cosmic Tripster. How will I find out about the parties and exclusive fun stuff I can go to?
A: McMenamins will send you e-mails and post these announcements on our McMenamins Passport Facebook page (be sure to give it the ol' thumbs up "like" on Facebook).
Q: How do I get invited to the Cosmic Tripster Party?
A: When you officially become a Tripster, you (and you alone) qualify for attendance to one Tripster party. The party that you attend will be based upon your completion date. Please see this page for more info.

Gathering Stamps

• When you visit any McMenamins, ask your server for a stamp.

• You can receive stamps for visiting a location (pub, hotel, small bars) or when you complete different McMenamins' experiences (Examples: Attend a brewfest, Get a spa treatment).
• Some stamps require an additional photo or may require you to purchase a ticket to a concert or movie. (This will be noted on the passport with a  or  icon). Scroll down for additional details on these extra steps.
• If you are visiting a hotel property, there are two ways to collect all stamps from that location:
  • You can get a stamp by making a purchase (any amount)
  • Or you can show a $20 receipt and get the stamp without purchase
• Many of our small bars might be closed or have limited hours. Look for the " * " and check individual location sites or the McMenamins App for hours.

• More App information here

Prizes

• When you get all the stamps for each region, your server will confirm your stamps and award you a prize.
• When you complete your passport page for a hotel, go to the front desk to receive your prize.
• You don't have to redeem your prize on the spot when you get your final stamp in a Passport region. However, you can only redeem the prize at one of the locations listed within that region. For example, if you gather all the stamps on Page 8 for ‘Hawthorne Boulevard' locations, but don't want to sit and eat your free tots prize (or take them to go) at that time, just return to one of those same 5 locations when you're good and hungry for tots. Or, if you gather the 2 stamps on Page 20 for ‘Salem' and want to stop in another time to one of those 2 spots and enjoy eating the prize, by all means! (Just don't plan to gather the Salem prize in Corvallis, which is also on page 20). Once the white box below the grouping of locations is signed and dated by one of our servers, we'll know you've collected the prize.
• When you've received all of the location stamps in your passport, you can redeem the grand prize at any McMenamins hotel. (Note: You can receive your last stamp at any location, but the final prize redemption is only available at a hotel.)
• You must have a McMenamins Portal account and your Passport must be registered in order to redeem the grand prize.  Registering early, before you arrive at one of our hotels, will save time and make your Cosmic Tripster completion quicker and easier!
• You do not need to do all experiences to complete your Passport.
• You do not have to receive all of the prizes in each section to claim the Grand Prize; you can collect prizes when you are good and ready (or hungry).

• If a new location opens before you complete your Passport, you will need to get those stamps in order to complete the passport. (See our New Locations page for details.)
• The limit for Passport completions is 2 per person per calendar year.

  • For every Passport completed in the proper timeframe, Cosmic Tripsters will receive an invitation to the next upcoming Cosmic Tripster Party. Invites are for the Passport holder only. Cosmic Tripster Parties are exclusive to those who have filled their Passports, so there's no +1. For example, the designated timeframe for the Kalama Harbor Lodge party was 12/1/17 through 3/5/18. That means that everyone who completed a Passport in that time period received an invitation to that party.

Soak in a Pool – Several of our locations have saltwater soaking pools for your enjoyment: Crystal Hotel, Edgefield, Anderson School, Kennedy School, Grand Lodge and Old St. Francis School. The last four are open for the general public to use for a fee. Otherwise, the pools are for hotel overnight guests and those with appointments at Ruby's Spas.

Stay the Night – We have twelve hotels in Oregon and Washington, each with their own whimsical amenities and the signature McMenamins artwork and restaurants. Locations, room descriptions, available dates and reservations are all available online.

Play Golf at Edgefield or Gearhart – Our two golf courses – Edgefield Pub Course in Troutdale, outside of Portland; and Gearhart Golf Links at the Oregon Coast offer gorgeous scenery. Edgefield is home to two par-3 courses that meander through the 74-acre property. Gearhart is an 18-hole public course. Both are open year-round.

Attend a Specialty Dinner – Depending on the season, we feature Scotch dinners, a dinner in our winery, progressive dinners, crab dinners, and more. All feature pairings of our spirits, wine or beer with custom, seasonal menus created by one of our chefs–what a feast!

Tour the Edgefield Winery – We are currently not offering tours of the winery.

Tour the Distillery at Edgefield or Cornelius Pass Roadhouse – We are currently not offering tours of our distilleries.

Tour one of our Breweries – We are currently not offering tours of our breweries.

Try a Wine Flight, Try a Distillery Flight & Try a Beer Flight: Flights range in price and selection at our pubs, but are typically offered on our beverage menus and contain small taster glasses of both standard and seasonal selections. One flight order earns one stamp. Cheers!

Passport Just-for-Fun Stamps
