Ruth McGowan's Brewpub

I recently visited Ruth McGowan’s Brewpub in downtown Cloverdale. (131 East 1st St.) I’d been in before but never to sample their happy hour fare. I saddled up to the bar and ordered a Caroline’s Blonde. Ruth’s is one of those places where everyone knows everyone else and even if you don’t; it doesn’t matter- it’s real friendly and “family friendly” too. Delta brought me a happy hour menu and a smile pronto. I decided to try the crispy chicken sandwich and beef slider. The happy hour menu comes with a choice of beverage, so since I got two dishes, Delta had to remind me that I had a 2^nd Caroline’s Blonde coming! All for $5.95! A great value if you ask me. While I waited, I enjoyed some homemade potato chips that were very tasty.

The gent next to me had the Caesar salad. He told me it was pretty good too. Ruth’s happy hour is from 3 to 6pm Monday through Friday. This is one of my favorite places to go either solo or with friends because the food is consistently good, the beer is delicious and the service is spot-on. They also serve Brunch on Saturday and Sunday from 10am to 2pm. One more thing... if you happen to catch their chicken pot pie special... order it, it's another favorite of mine, but it isn't on the menu... I'm sure you'll enjoy it...
