Visit McMenamins Olympic Club by Train – a FUN excursion!

McMenamins Olympic club pub, theater and hotel is right next to the Amtrak station in Centralia, Washington.  The Olympic club is a fun place to hang out, take in a movie, sample some great beers and spend the night in a historic hotel.

A fun way to get there is to take the Amtrak Cascades – we took the train from Albany, OR to Centralia, Wa.  McMenamins has a special deal for getting two train tickets for the price of one!
