Hood River
Bars, breweries, and nightlife in Hood River, Oregon
Hood River sits in the Columbia River Gorge and is as well known for windsurfing and kiteboarding as for drinking - the strong, reliable gorge winds built the sport's reputation here - and the town's orchards and vineyards show up directly in BarFinder's data, where wineries are easily the largest category among its 66 venues. Full Sail Brewing Company, one of the Pacific Northwest's earlier craft breweries, has long anchored the beer side, while real local wineries like Jacob William Winery and Mt Defiance Wine Company reflect the gorge's fruit-growing roots.
