5 Happy Hours Not to Miss in Wilsonville

Looking for a local IPA? A frosty glass growler of beer brewed in-house? A bottle of cheap chardonnay and a decent quesadilla? Read on.

Wilsonville is winning on the happy hour front. If you're looking to go out with some friends or find a spot to sulk and drink alone, there's a location on this list for you.

  • The Beer Station takes a chalkboard approach to beer. It is a favorite among locals for its constantly rotating line up of local beer. Their clear and comprehensive menu makes for a childlike craft beer experience-however counter intuitive, it points to the shifting trends in local beer; the menu is an ever-evolving, borderline living, thing. While they don't host a traditional happy hour, they do have a Home Brewers club that meets on the first Tuesday of every month Texas Hold 'em every other Wednesday.

Address: 8633 SW Main St Wilsonville, OR 97070

  • Ordnance Brewery has their own beer, and their packaging is, as the youth of today say, "dope." Adorned with the iconic Wilsonville water tower, Ordnance Brewery specializes in high gravity brews. That is to say, if you pick up a bottle of their new Imperial Stout, make sure you have a DD. Their happy hours are a favorite among home brewers and lovers of craft beer. It's every Wednesday, starting at 6:00 p.m.

Address: 405 N. Olson Rd., Boardman, OR 97818

  • Wankers Corner Saloon & Cafe wins for most clever social media presence (shout out to Patch's Poe fans) and for having the most eclectic interior. Their aesthetic is wacky, to say the least-they claim to have a collection of items from every time and place. Albeit bold, the beer is cold-and they have specials running *literally* everyday of the week. Not convinced? Check out their events calendar and prep for $15 buckets of bud light, $5 whiskey Wednesdays and Stoli Saturdays.

  • McMenamis Old Church & Pub puts a spooky spin on a historic tavern and pool house. Home of the 'Crowler,' a 32 oz recyclable can made from 68% recycled material, McMenamis puts an innovative, environmentally friendly spin on craft beer. Their happy hour runs from 3:00 p.m - 6:00 p.m. and 10:00 p.m. to midnight. In addition to happy hour specials, they also offer 'Beer To Go' specials, like $8 growler Mondays, Tap Beer served in mason jars and hard cider in old fashioned jugs, ready to grab n' go.

  • Oswego Grill might be listed last in this round up, but don't let that fool you; they lead the pack in terms of cheap bar food during their happy hour, which is 3:00 p.m. - 6:00 p.m. and 9:00 p.m. - close everyday. How cheap, do you ask? How about cheese and chicken quesadillas, fish tacos, scratch made doughnuts and lettuce wraps, all for $3.95.
