Local After Work Recommendations – Hood River Waterfront

Here at CENTRL, we know a great work environment consists of more than just the physical office where you get your work done. It’s also about taking the time to develop a sense of camaraderie and community within your team. And what better way to get to know your coworkers than going out on the town for a bite or drink after work?

Thankfully, there are plenty of after work options near our Hood River location where you and your colleagues can socialize while supporting a locally owned business. With so many choices, though, we know that deciding where to grab dinner or a drink can sometimes feel overwhelming.

With this in mind, here’s a partial list of a few after work spots we think you’ll like and hope you’ll support.

You won’t need to travel far to grab a local beer or kombucha, since Ferment Brewing Company shares the same building as CENTRL. Ferment is a modern brewery and tasting room, featuring handcrafted ciders, beers and kombuchas, locally-sourced seasonal produce, hearty sandwiches, slow-roasted meats, and a wide variety of house-fermented items. We highly recommend trying the Korean BBQ burger and the falafel & ferments salad.
