Squirrel’s Tavern

I have eaten at every restaurant in corvallis, and this place without a doubt hands down has the BEST BURGERS. I also like the homemade fries. I am sad to say that I have lived here all my live, and just recently ate here.

I love Squirrel’s. Yet another great Corvallis institution. On my 21^st birthday I grabbed lunch here for the first time (no minors allowed, so growing up in Corvallis meant I was pretty psyched to try this place when I hit 21) and I found that their garden burger was awesome. Since that day I have visited a handful of times, and each time has been great. Squirrel’s is the quintessential sports bar. On my latest visit, we came on a night when the Beavers basketball team was playing, so we were lucky to snag a table since the place was a sea of orange and black.
At Squirrel’s you order your food at a little window in the kitchen door, then you order your drinks at the bar and pay for everything at the bar, and then your food is brought to your table when it’s ready. I had the hard apple cider, which was Two Towns, and it was awesome. For dinner I had the salmon burger with fries, and I was blown away. That is how you make a salmon burger! Juicy, flavorful, covered in provolone, on a sesame seed bun… scrumptious. After our meal, we headed upstairs where we played a few rounds of pinball (since the pool tables were taken). A classic pub experience, with great drinks and great food.

Great bar to belly up to, really nice service. Reuben sandwich was really good. Lots of good beers on tap. Bright true bar atmosphere. Would definitely go back.

Whenever I come here, I receive excellent service. They always have a great selection of beer.

Their BLT is perhaps the best I’ve ever had (I can’t remember better so that’s probably a good sign) and once you’ve been there a few times, you’re a regular and they tend to remember your order before you even finish sitting down. There’s only one or maybe two waitresses/​waiters, so the wait time can be a bit long, but for a small place, it’s really not bad, and that just gives you extra time to browse their incredibly long beer menu. Another reason I didn’t give this place five stars is because sometimes it seems like the people working there are tired, overworked, or both, which makes me feel a little under-​appreciated, but really, that’s just because I’m a super bubbly gal!

Probably the best tavern in town. They also make a great burger. This is the closest I’ve seen to an Irish pub in Corvallis. I enjoy going there for lunch.

Great burgers, and BLT is best in town, some decent handles for the draft beers, and a uniquely Corvallis atmosphere.

Love the atmosphere of this place. Food was great and the price was right. The only reason I gave this place three stars instead of four was because the staff seemed bit unwelcoming, but that could have been that it was late on a Tuesday and they all were looking for it to be closing time already.

Sure, it looks like a dive, it’s loud and brash… food looked great, I’d already eaten, so I didn’t try any. Very good selection of beers, super friendly waitstaff, and a really great feel. Mixed crowd, both young and middle aged, this is exactly how a working class, blue collar dive should feel, look, sound and smell like… I can only assume the folks who didn’t like this place are miserable, bitter people who like nothing other than themselves. Best bar of it’s type I’ve found here in Oregon… when travels take me to Corvallis, rest assured I will visit again, and will try the famous/​infamous Squirrel burger

Simply the best burger in Corvallis. Exactly what a bar should be. A great owner that provides the perfect mix of music and sports. A must when you are in the Valley. Long live Squirrel.

Good food. Excellent service. Try the squirrel burger! It’s my favorite. Prices are fair with a hefty brew list. Cash only $

Stopped in for lunch while on vacation. The fish and chips (cod) was excellent. Others in our group had an excellent burger. Also enjoyed the Edgefield Pinot Noir. Great place!!!

Grabbed lunch here yesterday and had the greatest experience. The food was delish the beer selection was well above average. Had a burger with fries that made my mouf water. The experience was only improved my the attentiveness of the friendly staff. The cooks were all smiles and the sweet bartender had this rocking Princess Leia look going. She made small talk, had good jokes, and our brew doggers were always full; all the signs of a true classic bartender. Due to her professionalism and kindness, as well as the rest of the experience i will always think of Squirrels Tavern as a first choice for corvallis dining and dranks. Oh yeah, I think the bartenders name was Denise.
Thanks Denise all bars need one of you. #YouDeserveARaise

Worst bar in Corvallies
Closes at 1 AM on a Friday after a Beaver football game and then tells you to leave your full beers.
Smells bad
Old pool tables and foosball table
Bathrooms very dirty
Expensive beer
Rude bartenders
Should have known it was a bad place by the number of people in the bar. Every other bar had lines out the door but Squirrel’s only had around 20 people in the whole place.

The atmosphere is fun and friendly. Great beers. Great food from the back. Love the nachos and tater tots. The owner is upbeat and nice. This place has been around forever. I’ve spent many Halloweens shooting pool and hanging with friends. Multiple concerts and even a reading/​concert of a Corvallis writer.
Grab a t-​shirt. Drink a beer. This is one unique bar. Downtown wouldn’t be the same without Squirrel’s Tavern!

If you’re looking for good food, great service and a friendly bar — then you’ve met you match.
Squirrel’s tavern offers you ALL of that. I ate a cheese burger and it was great! The selection of beers was awesome as well.
When I’m back in town — i’ll def come back.
My recommendation: The Squirrel Burger
