McMenamins is an Oregon company known for food, hotels, handcrafted beers, and music venues. Two Portland McMenamins well worth visiting are the Bagdad Theatre, at SE Hawthorne & SE 37th, and the Kennedy School, at 5736 NE 33rd. Both show second-run movies at low prices, with beer and food. The Kennedy School is also a hotel and music venue. The Bagdad has recently become a venue for local musicians, as well.
