The Little White Shed

Little White Shed is a tiny quaint shack on the McMenamins Cornelius Pass Roadhouse grounds. It has a very small inside area but the main attraction is the fire pit outside. It has a few tables gathered around with a weird rocker dude atop the pit. They tend to the fire often so you’re able to just relax. In addition you can have food, drinks or cigars at the pit and it’s just a cool spot to hang out.

Delicious and I love the options for spirits made on site. Staff is super friendly. Pretty expensive though.

Looking for a cigar and some whiskey? Would it be nice to enjoy that pairing next to a warm fire with a few friends? You should really check out The Little White Shed. It is small, old and charming. They keep the fire stoked to keep you warm and a fire outside if it gets to smoky inside. I have enjoyed my time here twice and can’t wait to get back. If you don’t have any friends no worry there are a few hanging around! They do not server food but food is close by if you get a little hungry. The Little White Shed is the sister shed to The Little Red Shed. Come on down!

I really enjoy the Little White Shed. It’s great for grabbing a pint and hanging out by the fire pit. Getting to enjoy a good cigar is a huge bonus, but that also attracts cigarette smokers which stinks.
I like that you get food service from the restaurant without having to go inside to the bar.
Great place to hang out and play a board game or cards with friends and pitchers.

By far my favorite out side place for cigars and whiskey. They build a fire and you hang out side with your fav’s.
Right next to Mcmenamins what else could you want.

This little place is a favorite. Rain or shine, hot or cold, for some reason sitting outside around a fire with good whiskey and cigars is always a good time.
Great vibe, nice staff, and only what you need. (Whiskey, cigars, and fire)

Limited drink selection. It’s kinda like camping because it can be very cold and dark but also super fun.

This is a neat little place on the property at McMenamins Cornelius Pass Roadhouse. It doesn’t look like much on the outside, and when you walk in, it still isn’t, but that’s what makes it so great!
My wife and I stopped by here on a cold February day. We walked inside, had a fire going, and it had the feel of a nice, small, rustic cabin. They had an assortment of beers, wine and liquors that you would find at any McMenamins. Bartender was very friendly, and told my wife and I all about the property when we asked.
Just outside the shed is a nice outdoor sitting area, but not your traditional seating, more like a campground/​campfire setting around a fire pit. If it had been a touch warmer, and not raining, we probably would have sat outside here for a bit. We will definitely need to go back in the summer and sit around out here while enjoying a drink.

I dont know why it registered 5 starts on my last review, but this place sucks ass. 28 $ for 2 whiskys on the rocks. more rocks than whisky i might add. Beers (only 3 to select from) and they were average… and basiclly all you do is try not to freeze in the damn cold outside while drinking your booze. Is this the portlandian meaning of a «FUN» place to hang out?
All hail Paul Bunyan!

Coolest bar around for sure. Beer, whisky, fire, ambiance, food, and character. This place has it all. Lots of fun. Not a typical sports bar experience. Old school.

Love it here!

This little shed is probably the coolest place ever.
I’ve only been here once for a small Birthday gathering. It was during the Fall months, so we were able to sit outside, enjoy the evening by the fire pit, smoke cigars and sip on some whiskey. I kind of felt like Robin Hood, or maybe one of the seven dwarfs? Not sure, but I had a great time. lol.

Awesome place to hang out with friends during summer time.
There is a bar inside of the shed and the bartender is super nice to everyone.
The fireplace outside is warm and inviting.
I had a few reunions there with coworkers and we all had a great time.
highly recommended.

A top quality man’s man hangout. I have spent many nights playing cards and enjoying the warm atmosphere. Bart is a staple and makes you feel like you have been old friends for years. He knows everything there is to know about the business of awesome, that is Whisky and Cigars. I feel right at home everytime I go. My best trip is always the last time I went, and I look forward to many more. I completely agree with Steve W.‘s accessment of a fort for grow-​ups.

Bart is a whiskey EXPERT and tends out here and made an evening memorable. They have superb selection. Evidence: shots ranging from $ 7-​$ 40 (most decents are in the $ 9 range). Was out there on a whim and decided to try and get a little more learned on whiskey. Bart gave me an education. We ended up giving him a tip for no order at all, just his knowledge, and on his recommendation ordering flights inside the roadhouse to develop our palettes. (flights aren’t possible in the white shed yet I guess…) We preferred to drink with Bart though so we ventured back.
The wood fired stove is an excellent touch. The reviews alluding to forts/​tree houses are right on. I picture that this is more of what robin hood and little john would have stopped at for a pint.

This is by far one of the greatest hidden treasures you can find in a suburb. So some friends of ours took us to a McMenamins property in Hillsboro where we were going to have a drink at the tavern. My curiosity got the best of me and I started to walk through this «forest» as the other’s followed. I came up on this little white shed where this long bearded man was sitting behind this little bar. A whiskey bar with one beer tap «Hammerhead». I half expected a few hobbits to be sitting at the one table hidden in a fort like nook. We sat here til it closed and felt like we were taken back in time or at least a Peter Jackson movie set. I suggest accidentally finding this place any day. I did not try the whisky, but my friend did and from what i understand its a fine whiskey selection.

Remember when you were a little kid and you made forts in your house with blankets and a table? You would then spend the day eating ice cream and drinking Coke while playing board games… all in your little place that was just for you and your friends. Later that may have become a tree house, were kids could just hang out and be kids.
This is the adult version of the fort/​tree house.
Instead of ice cream and soda, there is a nice selection of single malt scotches and other whiskeys (but I just look at the scotch), and a place to smoke your favorite Dominican cigar. There are other choices from the CPR next door, such as draft beers and mixed drinks, but you are in your adult fort. Why get what you can get everywhere else?
You have finished work, and maybe your day didn’t go so good. Call a few friends and hang out at the shed for an hour or two, and the day simply got better.
Yeah, you can get food from the McMinaminnemanimannimmumins next door, but why? A scotch, a cigar, and friends. Nutrition for a weary mind. My adult fort.

4 reviews? That’s not acceptable. Let us begin.
I worked right near this place for a few years. The 2 hour bus, max, bus ride out there was a pain, but at least I could soak my feet in bourbon once I finished work.
This shed is cosy, filled with earthy smells and people, and perhaps most important, stocked with a wide array of spirits.
This is the kind of place you want to go when you need a quiet place to chat during the week, or a mostly quiet place to get sauced during the weekend.
At the time they allowed the pipe, cigar, and cigarette smoke. However, I doubt the laws have not found a way to steal that from them. Too bad I think. A good pipe filled with Rich’s Tobacco add side of lagavulin could really sum this place up.

Best place to drink whisky with a cigar on the continent.

Little Sheds are way cool
I’ve found some competition for my favorite little bar in Oregon, the Little Red Shed. Surprise, surprise, this one is comes from the same family, the McMenamins, but instead of red, it’s the Little White Shed.
Much like its red counter part on the Edgefield property, this little bar sits on the grounds of the Cornelius Pass Roadhouse. It too is primarily a whisky and cigar bar, but you can also order a draft or a shot of tequila. Normally I can’t stand to be in too smoky of a place, but I sure don’t care here because it’s so cozy.
The best part, though, is of course the whiskey. I never tried much until I was in Ireland and now find that it’s a great drink for sipping, especially in the winter.
Tip: You can order food delivered from the restaurant.
