10 Barrel

Locals may tell you that the brewpub isn’t the same after Anheuser-Busch bought out the company in 2014, but with a new chef and expanded menu, 10 Barrel may be the ultimate comeback kid in the Oregon brew economy. In winter, we love their outdoor fireplace, which is a fun spot where families can warm up after a day in the cold or snow.

McMenamins Old St. Francis School

McMenamins has become an Oregon staple no matter where you are in the state. The renovated Old St. Francis School provides a warm atmosphere for families. Most of its live music is fun for families, and they also have a movie theatre where kids can watch movies before 9 p.m.

Greg’s Grill

If you’re in the Old Mill District, Greg’s Grill is the best spot for a family dinner. Greg’s serves classic Northwest dishes from burgers to seafood. While it’s a popular spot in the summer because of the outdoor seating along the Deschutes, the indoor atmosphere is just as comfortable for the winter months.
