About Thompson Brewery & Public House

In 1905, when the South Salem Hills were planted in orchards, a splendid house was built along the market road to Eugene as a dwelling for Civil War vet Franklin Thompson. In 1989, McMenamins Thompson Brewery & Public House was the first brewery in Salem to be established post-Prohibition.
 
Is it any surprise that the interior echoes with the laughter of an old friend? Nothing, it seems, hangs heavy in the air in this comfortable, old building. There's always a welcoming easiness in the air here. The deck at the Thompson is a perfect place to enjoy a meal and a handcrafted pint with a friend.

Thompson allows pets at the outdoor yard seating.

History

The Thompson Brewery and Public House is a remarkable place! These old walls have witnessed more than a century of colorful occupants, the remnants of which are still clearly visible throughout. From an early country home to a preschool, and from quiet family gatherings to traditional German folk dancing, this comfortable old house has played host to many wondrous manifestations....

How did this former daycare come to be a brewery and pub? That's just one page from its history — read on to learn the whole story.
