Rogue Ales Brewery

Went for a late lunch on Friday. Opted to eat in the bar as it is 21 and up. They basically had one beer tender who was also pouring beers for the bar and the restaurant, so the service was a little slow. Two of us had flights, so we could try as many beers as possible, which were all delicious. I had the fried cheese curds served with jalapeno jelly. The fried cheese curds were crispy and hot. The jalapeño jelly was an interesting compliment, but I recommend getting their smokey ranch as well. My friend had the barbecue soy curls sandwich with tots. I am not a vegetarian, but even i was fooled that it wasn't meat. All in all, it was a very yummy meal.

The rogue brewery and distillery encompasses a very large space along the water front in Newport. The tasting rooms and restaurants are only a small portion of that. Look for the red silonto gain entrance. Then you can find your way to the restaurant or go upstairs for the bar area that overlooks the bay. Rogue beer is a staple in the craft beer community and rightfully so. The berrs are good and the ambiance is as well. The beer tenders were wonderful.

This place is in a great location near the bridge in Newport. There is a Marina you can look at while dining, lots of sailboats. The restaurant portion was where we ate, we did not go to the bar. The restaurant was freezing! Every person dining kept their coats on. We had hamburgers that were adequate but you can get tater tots instead of fried which I loved. This is the Rogue brewery as well as restaurant and bar and you can see of lot the brewery action going on.

Cute place but oh my god the smell was next level. I've been to a brewery before but this was overpowering. It lightened up once you got to the dining area but if you're pregnant and smell sensitive I don't think this would work for you. Ordered a vegan pulled pork sandwich that was delicious, drinks were great. Service was a little slower but they were definitely understaffed so that's no fault of the servers and they themselves were great.

We had an awesome evening and dinner at Rogue Brewer’s on the Bay! Our waiter, Evan was great, friendly, great personality, good at his job. The hostess was just lovely as was the gift shop staff. We met a very cool couple with whom we had a wonder conversation with in the gift shop bar! Great venue! Great experience! Great beer and surprisingly good gin. Over all it was the Bee’s Knees! 😉
