Cindy’s and Matt's Suggestions for First Time to the Red
Food scene
Your best bet for quality craft beverages or no-nonsense options, depending on your tastes. Please enjoy responsibly and obey all local laws (three different counties converge in the Gorge).

Probably the longest-running spot in our list of favorite restaurants in the Gorge. Great burgers, fries, burritos, chips . . . you can't go wrong with anything. Solid vegetarian and vegan options too.
But! Be sure to check hours in advance as they can shift based on time of the season. And this place can get very crowded--we'd recommend going in-between or after typical rush hours for climbers.

Access can change and permits are required at many places!
If you're climbing, make double-sure, even if you've already been to that area, that (a) you've filled out a waiver if required, and (b) access is *currently* open.
Access can change, so make sure you respect the owners' wishes and the trust that were built by generations of the climbing community.
