McMenamins' community landmark Hillsboro tavern, Rock Creek, came back and better than ever after a fire that reduced the beloved original building to a pile of cinders in September 2002.
With an eye to preserving the past, the outside of the new tavern looks nearly identical to its predecessor. To achieve this authenticity, we used timbers from two local barns (one dating back to the late 1800s) in the rebuild. The new tavern includes an elevated outside patio.
Rock Creek Tavern is off the beaten path. With a pool table, a 22-foot shuffleboard and great food and ales, there's no finer place to while away an evening than in this rustic lair.
Friends and families, young and old — all are welcome.
