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 locationsand completing this task, but the stamping doesn't stop there! Click here for the full list of rules and details.
Q: Thirty 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! 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.

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: No purchase is necessary to receive a location stamp at the vast majority of our locations. Some event locations (think theaters) require a ticket purchase to enter and get the stamp. If you do have to buy a ticket, you won’t have to do a task (see below) for the stamp.
Q: These tasks or hunts at each location—do I need to take a photo, or how does that work?
A: No, these tasks are meant to be simple ways of exploring the pub/small bar/what-have-you. Ask your server what the task is and they will tell you. Once you do the task, you’ll get the stamp. Simple as that.
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. Just login to your account, and click on the ‘Request Replacement Passport’ button.  We’ll ask you to verify your mailing address and send you a new one in the mail.  If you didn't register your Passport, we're sorry but you'll need to purchase a new one and start over. The moral of the story is: register your Passport and keep it in all its shiny glory in a special place that is both handy and secret! Register now.

Extra Steps designated by an Icon

Q: What does the Camera icon mean?
A: At all our hotel locations (as well as at Roseburg Station Pub and Lighthouse Pub), you'll have to take a photo to get your stamp. Head to the hotel front desk or ask your server what piece of artwork you need to find. Once you find the artwork, take a photo (selfie!) with you and the artwork and show your server or the hotel front desk staff to receive your stamp. This is similar to the process at all pubs, however you may need to solve a clue to find the artwork in question. 
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. 

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 the prize at one of the locations listed within the page you've filled. For example, if you gather all the stamps on Page 8 for "Hawthorne Boulevard" locations, you'll need to claim your prize at one of those same 5 locations. 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. Check here for details.
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 on the back pages of your Passport showing you were there! There are not 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 birthday bashes, 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 $30 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. For example, to attend the March 10, 2018 event in Tacoma, you needed to have completed a Passport between June 1, 2017 and November 30, 2017. We'll send you an invitation prior to the event.

Passport Rules

General Rules

• ONE PASSPORT PER PERSON. No Exceptions. Two people cannot share a Passport.
• One Passport in use at a time. Once you finish a Passport, become a Cosmic Tripster and have the completion stamp in one Passport, you may start another Passport.

• The limit for Passport completions is 2 per person per calendar year. It’s still one Passport per person in use at a time.

• Please be patient when stamp gathering. Our staff work to accommodate Passport holders to the best of their ability at any given time. Swearing at and arguing with staff is not tolerated, and may be grounds for refusing stamps and for McMenamins to take further measures if deemed necessary by the Manager on Duty.

• Rules and prizes subject to change.
• Have a question? See our Frequently Asked Questions section. Still have a question? Email passport@mcmenamins.com.

If you do not have a photo you will need to show your valid photo I.D. when receiving a new stamp. Note: You must be 21 & older to use a Passport. The passport does not replace your I.D. You must have your I.D. to drink.
• Register your passport with our McMenamins Portal. Registering your Passport creates your McMenamins Portal account.

• Once you’re a Cosmic Tripster, you will book your free hotel stays through the McMenamins Portal.

• To keep up with all the Passport happenings via our monthly Passport email (events, discounts, special stamps and more).

Gathering Stamps

• 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 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.
• Many of our small bars and beverage producers (breweries, coffee roasters, etc.) have limited hours. Look for the " * " and check individual location sites or the McMenamins App for hours.
• Stamps can only be received during normal business hours. No exceptions. Please plan ahead when traveling for stamps.

The McMenamins App & Passports:

• The smartphone App is available for free in the Apple & GooglePlay stores
• Use the App to see locations near you for gathering stamps, beers on tap, menus, music & much more!
• The App is meant as a companion to the Passport, not a replacement
• The App cannot be used to collect stamps & prizes, become a Cosmic Tripster or replace a lost Passport
• 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).

Time Limit

• There is no time limit or expiration date to complete your Passport.
• 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.

Extra Steps designated by an Icon:

• Hotels and a few pubs: In order to receive certain stamps, you will need to get a picture of yourself with a designated piece of artwork. The clue to the artwork will be posted at the front desk. Or if it's at a pub, just ask your server. The artwork will rotate.
• You will receive your stamp when you show a photo of yourself with the specified piece of artwork.
• This process is similar to the tasks at all other pubs, however the clue may take a little more sleuthing than the normal process.

• Movie Theaters/Concert Venues: In order to receive a stamp, you must purchase a ticket OR attend one of the (limited) free events at the venue. There will be designated bars inside the venue for you to get your passport stamp.
• Keep your ears open! There are some free shows or special events such as birthdays which will not require you to purchase tickets to get in and get your stamp.  Check online for upcoming free events at these locations.  
• Stamps for the Crystal Ballroom and Lola’s Room are also available when you see a show – ticketed or free – in either venue.
• Locations with the Tix icon do not require an additional task to get the stamp.

That means that everyone who completed a Passport in that time period received an invitation to that party.
