Clocktower Ales


Clocktower Ales is the finest bar in The Dalles. This may not be as high an honor as it sounds, I could probably count the bars in The Dalles on one hand. It is, however, a great place for individuals like myself who enjoy the ole barley pop.

Clocktower carries around 27 Oregon microbrews on tap. They do not have a full bar, but I am more than satisfied by their selection of local craft beers.

Apparently the place has been completely redone in the last year. It shares a historic building with the local Masonic lodge (clocktower on the bottom, masons on the top). Since the above picture was taken, they have finished putting in a large patio for outdoor seating. It is only just now getting to the time of year that sitting outside in the evening for a beer is enjoyable, and they are a great place for that. They have also been very accommodating whenever I came in and asked them to put on a soccer match. They even turned off their music to give me sound. Definitely a sign of a good pub.

That's about all I have to say about Clocktower. If you are ever passing through The Dalles, make sure to stop in for a beer or eight.
