BarFly's Review of Edgefield (Powerstation Pub, etc.)
Former insane asylum McMenamized into a brewery, winery, bed and breakfast, and live music venue. Several distinctly different pubs and restarurants on premises, and lovely gardens for wandering. Also, $2 theater and putt-putt golf course on premises, and several different bars to visit while you're shooting a round.

The place is cool, the service blows. I was there not long ago for the MMJ show. I was in the power station and met up with some friends. There was one server working and a 45 minute wait. I'd say there were at least 20 open tables, half of them covered with food so old that they had fur on it. My recommendation is eat before you go there and bring a flask.
maybe you should apologize to kyle ... Edgefield was an asylum and later a nursing home before it was converted by McMenamins ...
i went to the place once and i remember the BT telling me the info ... and if you goggled enuff you would have found that info (i did just to confirm)
Say, in this digital age you should at least get your facts right. Edgefield was never an insane asylum. You dishonor the former residents with your mis-information. At least do your research, folks, and how about apologizing? This is straight off their website: As hard as it may be to believe today, Edgefield, built in 1911, served for several decades as the Multnomah County Poor Farm. Residents operated a self-sufficient environment, raising hogs, poultry, growing a variety of fruits and vegetables, operating a dairy, cannery and meat packing plant as well as working in the laundry, kitchen and hospital.
I went for a company party and had a good time, the waitstaff left something to be desired but otherwise it was fun. I enjoyed that we were fairly loud and abnoxious at times but they put up with us knowing we were just having fun. We did go a little late with the noise and got a touch too drunk in the room via our own juice (our own stupidity I know). I reccomend it to groups of friends to stay and party at. Careful what room you get though, I prefer the one with the bathroom included but have done both. By the way if you register in the afternoon say hi to Rhonda at the front desk, nice lady with big hair.
The service is crap, the drinks are weak..but the atmosphere is stellar. This is a Mcmenamins that even I can stomach. Golf, Wine tasting, movies, nature walks, glass blowing, Cool spot. Thumbs up to ya for at least having one decent spot. But could you hire more staff? The service is absolute SHIT!!!!!!
Nice spot to just chill out and walk around with a beer in your hand. I used to go into this pace when it was abandoned and drink with the high school buddies :) Memories...lol
This place has it all, from a 'tip-your-nose' atmosphere of the wine bars and winery, to the sacred whisky shack (My favorite place.) Where else could I hang out with self-proclaimed dykes and obvious jocks, then proceed to talk women while throwing down shots and pints. Very unique and friendly.
The hostel suites allow you to cram 4 of your best friends into a room with beds and trundle-units, use very clean community restrooms and bath rooms (with locks mind you, phew), and you are only down like 20 bucks a night for the room.
The best thing about edgefield is the mini golf course, and the ability to eat a huge burger, drinking a pint and coming out of a 2 hour with a good buzz and a full stomach.
