Columbia River Brewing Co

This is one of the few places where you can actually watch the beer you're going to drink being made. Spacious layout with some alternative pub food (vegan, vegetarian options) and service is very friendly. Great for really big parties and kids. more

Fun place with great beer, great food and really nice prices. I love the Workingman IPA! more

This Laurelwood location has the best pizza in Hollywood. My wife and I love getting chicken and broccoli pizza on their multi-grain crust. The beer is very good, with their seasonal espresso stout being the best coffee stout I've ever had (wish they had it year-round!). It's true, this place bills itself as being very family-friendly, and during their busiest times there are often lots of children in there, sometimes running around and acting noisy. I'm no big fan of kids myself but it's never gotten out of control all the times I've been there. Pros: Tasty pizza and quality beer Cons: Not the place to go if you don't like children more

This concept of bring your kid into a bar so mommy and daddy can get sloshed is an interesting one. One night me and a few friends decided to go down to the local pub/pizza place. Being new to town I was really excited to checkout Laurelwood Pizza. When I opened the door to my horror their were little kids running around the restaurant as if Barney himself were inside and trying to teach them their A,B,Cs. To my amazement their parents did nothing but chat about the weather and laugh as their kids pulled silverware off of clean tables.Doesn't anyone remember something called respect. Respect for the other people around you. Well, still wanting to try some pizza me and friends stood waiting at the front door for quite some time. Finally someone saw us and seated us at the bar. Where I continued to wait. I this point I'll admit I was pretty thirsty for a beer. Watching this was like something out of a low budget movie. The host completely vanish out of thin air, next was the waiter who said "" I'll be right back with some menus and some waters."" I never heard from him again. I hate to be the guy looking at his watch at a restaurant but this whole experience took almost 30 minutes. No one still acknowledged us. So with that I looked at my friends who were equally hungry and said let's split. In my astonishment a four top of customers(us) got up and left and I honestly don't think anyone noticed. Pros: Really bad service Cons: kids,kids,kids everywhere! really bad service, 3 ring circus more

First, I can see that no one has reviewed this place since August, and since we've been coming here since they opened last summer, thought I'd give our 2 cents. First off, they changed the menu a couple of months ago and it's a HUGE improvement. We have always loved the beer (the RED) and live close, so we kept givin' em a try. While the food used to be just okay, it's now great! Lots more choices, too. I mean, how many days a week can you eat pizza?? Yes, there are kids all over. If you don't like it, don't come here. But the pizza (try the Greek one or the Tuscan) is awesome, the beer is world class and the staff are super cool. I just don't understand the harsh bashing here.... For those of you reading these for the first time, give it a try! Or just go for the beer! more

Wow, since this is a ""Pizza Company"" my expectations are pretty high!! They did not disapoint! We ordered two pizzas one was an ""all meat"" venue. (Forget name) and the other a Greek vege type pizaa. It was like heaven when we added some Beer to meal as well. We are now huge fans of there RED. It was perfectlly matched with hops and malts and easy going down. Careful though, the beer is so good you'll need to have more!!! LOL!! Server was rockin cool and very attentive to all our needs. My Buddies Family always worry that with the kids they get to ""needy"" for stuff. Kids food came out first and all were pleased, especially the kids. When the Kids are happy, the parents are happy and trust me my buddies Family will be stopping by much more. Sat outside and enjoyed the weather, whole place had a very ""positivlly"" cool vibe. Highlly reccomended!! Pros: Great for the whole Family Cons: .................don't know?!?! more

I've always loved this location... Great Outdoor Seating, Great Happy Hour Menu, Great Beer!..... too bad they turned to ""pizza"".... where's my ORIGINAL Laurelwood?? Anyway, nostalgia aside... the pizza isn't that good here at all, despite the intriguing beer additions. I don't particularly like their sauce (because it's too sweet), or their wheat pizza dough in the pizzas (because it doesn't crisp, or they don't cook it all the way). The Calzones are my favorite, because the sauce is on the side, and the wheat dough cooks up nicely. The service here is business as usual, so that helps to make up for the loss in the menu/food quality.... I understand what Laurelwood is trying to do here, branching out and making all of their locations different to build a draw for each, especially considering the new change in menu at the newest Sandy location... However, I'm afraid they are weeding out local pedestrians to make room for driving commuters. I hope the 23rd location doesn't change much from the original.... hommina.. hommina... hommina.... Pros: Outdoor Seating, Beer, Service Cons: Pizza, Sauce, No Nachos more

I wish I had read the review's before we went. Tastless and bland pizza with too many children running around. Unless your age is in between 20-30 years old with at least two kids, I would not recommend this place. Pros: Nice Building Cons: Kids all over, only young people more

The pizza wasn't very good. For a place with ""pizza"" in the name, I expected better. Especially for the price. Average large price is $16 -18 a pie and that large isn't very big either, at only 16"". But, I was there with friends (8 of us, 4 pizzas ordered) and thought I'd let it slide, but the concensus was all around that we all expected better. For instance, my wife and I ordered the BBQ Chicken pizza. It had virtually no sauce on it, only a hint of BBQ flavor at the outside edges of the crust. The chicken on top was horribly dry. It also had green peppers and tomatoes which were virtually raw, very crunchy which I don't really like on a pizza. The roasted garlic cloves were good, but they were whole cloves and a little can go a long way. Honestly I've had better frozen pizzas that cost a fraction of the Laurelwood's price. One of the people in my group ordered the pepperoni and I tried a slice. Very underwhelming. Perhaps the pizza isn't very good because they focus so much on organic and free-range ingredients, but I'd hate to blame it on that as by and large I prefer the better flavors of natural ingredients. Other than the BBQ Chicken pizza it is hard to say just what was missing with all their pizza in general, other than flavor. They just seemed bland, over priced, and as others have mentioned, the service wasn't great. I don't believe anyone in my party will be back. Better pizza can be had from the frozen foods section or via delivery. Can't reccommend it. Pros: They serve beer. Cons: Pizza isn't good, parking is tough, lots of kids. more

Great pizza, hoagies, salads. Service has been slow every time I've been there. Don't know if the servers or the chef is slow, but it's worth the wait. Try the eggplant parmagiana sandwich! Take a sweater - it's usually cool inside. Pros: great food and prices Cons: slow service more

If you go just for the Pizza, you'll love it!! If you go just for the Beer you're in heaven!!!! If you go for both then Nirvana awaits you!!! Bring the kids or when the weathers good the Dog as well and hang outside on patio. Good Service and Pizza choices! Try the different Crusts and sauces!! The Greek type pizza, forgot name, incredible!! Pros: Seasonal beer choices change often Cons: Parking sometimes tough more

Good pub food and great Laurelwood beers to wash it down with. Lots of parents bring their kids here. more
