McMenamins Chapel Pub — Restaurant in Portland

I order pickup from this restaurant about 4-5 times a week, typically getting fish and chips, chicken strips basket, or a burger. Today for lunch, I had a cheeseburger and fries which was good. I also ordered a pickup order for dinner (I eat here a lot because it’s right next to my house and I’m too lazy to cook) I go, and the bartender tells me they are out of fish and chips and they talked to the owner who just said to refer me to uber. I was confused that there was not more they could do because I’m the one that paid for the order. I reach out to uber thinking it will be easy since the restaurant WAS OUT OF THE FOOD THAT I ORDERED, but they are refusing to refund me without charging me a cancellation fee. I am aghast that I would be charged a cancellation fee when the merchant was unable to fulfill my order.

I have now wasted the time it took to walk to get the order, and 30 minutes in various chats with uber eats, In my mind, the business should have not accepted the order, should have taken fish and chips off their uber eats portal, or should have immediately cancelled and refunded me when they realized they had an order they could...

It seems that the most played Oregon game around is to seek out the next Mcmenamins you’ve never heard of. Portland has more churches converted into bars and restaurants than I’ve ever experienced. Most folks i grew up around would consider this a form of blasphemy but my faith relishes in continued life long after the pews have been abandoned for high tops, barstools, and booths. This place had me dreaming of Ireland and a few times I imagined a leprechaun had lost his rainbow here. The wood work was very nicely finished and there were more rooms and nooks and crannies than I had time to explore. If you like the Grateful Dead, then it’s played nearly every other song, which is fine by me since LoFi has taken over the new generation’s tender foot vibe. Well, this locale has been checked off the list and makes it into the top 5 for the chain’s historically relevant properties. I’ll return one day, some day, but...

When I was taking classes at PCC's Cascade Campus I spent many hours at this McMenamins. I love the space. This is one of McMenamins' more historic properties, and it is a lot of fun. Especially if someone is playing the old pipe organ. The central bar is beautiful, and the staff is stellar. The beer and food are McMenamins dependable and a little more. This is a great place to catch Happy Hour and catch up on some last minute homework. It is also the perfect space to catch up with friends/family. They have a great patio which provides table service and is well shaded on a hot day. There is parking on site, but the spaces are limited and they are a tight squeeze if you have a bigger vehicle. So, if your coming during the busier lunch/dinner times you might have to park in the neighborhood. I've never brought my pup here, but I've seen a few happy fur friends on the patio...
