McMenamins Crystal Hotel and Hal's Café Located just across the street from the legendary Crystal Ballroom. Today, we hold live music, artist residencies, pre- and post-concert performances and more.

Located just across the street from the legendary Crystal Ballroom, the Crystal Hotel has 51 comfortable guestrooms, each inspired by a song or performance from the Crystal Ballroom's past 100 years. Our bright, first-floor restaurant, Zeus Café, offers breakfast, lunch and dinner, prepared using the freshest Northwest ingredients possible.

Raise your hand if you were around during our Zeus Cafe era✋

Our main restaurant was once known as Zeus Cafe! We renamed it after Hal Finkelstein, Zeus’ orchestrator-in-chief, when he passed away in 2022. Hal was loved by everyone here at McMenamins, and his legacy still lives on in this building. You can even see his painted portrait right here in the restaurant!

🍓NON-ALCOHOLIC DRINK SPOTLIGHT🍓

All work and no play makes you thirsty for a Dull Boy Mocktail! Made with Coco Reàl, strawberry puree, pineapple juice, and lime juice, it's the perfect "fun drink" sans alcohol.

Try it at Hal's Cafe at the Crystal Hotel right here in Downtown Portland ❣

The building that Crystal Hotel now calls home has been a part of Portland since 1911. It's definitely seen some things since then, and we can only imagine what we'd hear if these walls could talk👀
