Pretty cool location. Came in for lunch on the 10th anniversary. Good deals going on $5 pints and special beers to choose from the 25 year old barley wine was outstanding. And the fresh hop beers were really good to. Food was excellent. Mac and cheese was fantastic. Fries were very good to. It was very busy for the 10th anniversary. The place was packed. Our time was cut short. But still had a good time while we were there.
Owner changed the bill and super appreciate it. Like earlier post, great beers but nice of the owner to be reactive. Thanks

Such a beautiful restaurant and delicious food! Loved the atmosphere (space pun intended). Ecliptic burger and Meatloaf Melt were perfect. Delicious fries!

Had a great time outside with actual table service. A rarity nowdays at breweries and bars. We loved it. Made it so we could actually talk as a group instead of getting up to get beers and wait in a line. Great beer and a really cool area to relax outside. Lots of fun people and dogs!

Really yummy beer! Food was good as well, we had the chicken wings, bbq sandwich (with pork) & chicken + waffles. Also got the s’mores tart. A worthy stop if you’re in Portland.

Whether you're from Portland or just visiting, you should make this a stop on your cosmic journey. The food is delicious with offerings for all appetites and the beer is some of the best in the city if not the country. Brewmaster John Harris is a pioneer of the craft industry with galactic-themed beers that never disappoint. Any trip to Portland isn't complete without a stop at Ecliptic.
The vegan bbq sandwich is perfect!! I was worried vegan options would be scarce but they actually have a few and usually places only have vegan burgers but this was different and so yummy the soy meat had a great texture and the slaw is so yummy too! The service was also super great they were all so nice and attentive (: outdoor seating was fun with wooden picnic tables and fairy lights (:

Great beers. Very simple flavors, but quite crisp and delicious. Service was very attentive and it's nice that they have their own parking lot!

Ecliptic was good. I mean the only downfall I think is where it's located it's tucked at the bottom of a hill right above Mississippi. They had some tasty beers the service was great. Had a big fruit fly issue tho I haven't got a chance to try the food yet but I hear good things 3 stars.
Fabulous location with ample outdoor seating! Unfortunately, service was slow (not busy). I had to send back my beer because it was supposed to have 'sparkles' in it. The only reason we went there was for Portland's Nacho Week where Ecliptic was offering Beef Birria Nachos. Unfortunately, there was no BEEF in them. Just chips with pickled veggies. Maybe the rest of their menu is great, but promotions like this are meant to entice new customers to become regulars and I feel like this was just a token effort. It's unlikely I'll return.

The staff from Ecliptic are super friendly! I tried something with guava (wish I could remember what) and it was very refreshing. My boyfriend had the Starburst (our favorite) and it's still a banger. Thank you, Maddy and Collette, for being so nice and we hope to catch you guys inside soon!

I was visiting Portland over a long weekend with a group of 4 and stopped here for dinner one night. We were unimpressed with the food but it also seemed like this place was very unorganized. We had initially sat outside and ordered drinks, but asked to move inside before we got our food order because it was still pretty sunny and warm out. Once inside, we were asked to use the QR code to order and pay our tab for the rest of our order, which was easy and worked. We stayed for a few hours and flagged down a different waitress since we hadn’t seen the first one, to ask about paying for our first round of drinks since it wasn’t on the new tab. She left to look for it, came back once more to ask what we had ordered, and then came back again and said they couldn’t find it and that it would be on the house. We thanked her and stayed a while longer still. On our way out, a third employee came running after us and told us we had an outstanding balance we had to pay. We told her what the previous waitress had said but she said no it’s right here. We of course didn’t have a problem paying it, since we had initially brought it up to the other waitress earlier. But someone could have told us they found the check before we were half way to our car.

Beers were good. Service was a bit awkward as they push you to self order. My canadian area code likely prevented that so service was a bit slower.The space itself is nice for a brewery

Been coming here for years and usually have a good experience. Last time I was here, it was clear that they were understaffed and it appeared that they had one server to cover all of the tables, and they were pretty crowded. It wasnt a great experience. Hoping that was a fluke, I came back today a few weeks later and it was worse. Nearly full house, but only one waitress. I don't blame her because she was frazzled and trying her best to keep up, but it was such a bad experience (and for several tables around us if I overheard correctly,) that I probably won't be back anytime soon.
