History

McMenamins was founded by Mike and Brian McMenamin, who grew up in Portland. Mike learned the ins-and-outs of the restaurant business while working at a sub shop as a student at Oregon State University. After a series of failed restaurant ventures in the Portland area, the brothers began establishing pubs throughout the metropolitan area. In 1985 they created the first post-Prohibition brewpub in Oregon after the brewing industry in Oregon — including the McMenamins — successfully lobbied the state legislature to change liquor laws to make such an establishment legal.

As the brothers expand their restaurant chain, they have replicated core elements of their menu and decor. Yet most locations, particularly the historical properties, still retain a sense of individualism. Many in Portland consider the chain to be a high-profile component of Portland culture since the 1980s. Their respectful renovation and rehabilitation of historical locations throughout the city, their contributions to the popularity of a microbrew culture, and the Grateful Dead-inspired decor make them almost a required part of any visitor's tour. A restaurant chain is a set of related restaurants, typically with the same name in many different locations either under shared corporate ownership (e. ...

The Grateful Dead was an American psychedelia-influenced rock band formed in 1965 in San Francisco. ...

The brothers have faced some criticism, mainly from some who feel that the business uses a vertical integration model that could easily be co-opted by large commercial breweries. Others feel that the company's many locations may be pushing out smaller microbreweries. The large and growing number of independent brewpubs and microbreweries would appear to contradict this view. Portland seems to have an almost unquenchable appetite for craft-brewed beer and much affection for drinking that beer in comfortable pubs. In microeconomics and strategic management, the term vertical integration describes a style of ownership and control. ...
