“Went here for the first time on Tuesday. Great spot for beer in a charming old house! The staff was very nice and I could tell they take a lot of pride in the beautiful space they've created.And Erica's Soul Food cart on the back patio was Delicious!“
“This is an amazing local bar that I hope never becomes famous. It’s full of locals who enjoy an amazing dining experience with some great beers. The owner is one amazing lady who is fully engaged in the bar and loves her customers and it absolutely shows. I will definitely be back to this place multiple times, I had a fantastically fun night and I want to thank everybody I met there tonight. Big shout out to Amanda. It was her first night tonight and she was absolutely amazing.“
“We met friends there the other day and had a great time in on oh the bars (I can’t remember which one!). The service was great and the appetizers were delicious!Food & drinks: We got the tots, pizza and some fries. They were all great. My husband had a sour beer which was really good and I had a cider and a mixed drink that was fantastic!“
“I've stopped by many times over the years to leave concert posters and postcards, but last night was the first time I had a meal there. The pork shoulder and fried brussels sprouts in hoisin sauce over noodles, side salad with blue cheese dressing, and a pint of doppelbock. It was absolutely delicious, a perfect end to a long day running around all over. Comfortable seating, friendly folks, books all around you, low key live music. They let us know they'd just tuned the piano, but the solo act started in before I had a chance to try out a little low key Brahms. :-) Maybe next time.“
“Surprisingly very cozy inside and spacious while keeping it intimate. Aesthetics were really curated you can tell with the quality of craftsmanship for the bar, tables, chairs and a beautiful wall library with couch like seats! Not to mention the magical courtyard perfectly shaded. Fabian was warm and fun;)“
“Aunt Tillie's is *so* good! The people running it seem genuinely nice, the vibe is relaxed, service is great, and it's one of the best sandwiches you'll ever eat. If you want a meal that tastes homemade and is reasonably priced, go here. They also have old fashioned milk shakes (my teenager really appreciated that as you might imagine).Last words of praise: the portion sizes are totally under control in a world where portion sizes are out of control. If you're extra hungry, get a sandwich with a side. If you're just normal hungry, a sandwich by itself will fill you up but won't drag you down.“
“I recommend everything about Parkside. Exceptional rotating drink menu with tasty drink specials. The food is above and beyond and all handmade with absolute love and care. The folks who work there are the fricken best and the atmosphere is like a campfire with good friends.“
“If you’re a German beer lover, this is a must stop place for you. They have a great selection of German beers. What’s great about this place, is that you can get them on tap! Which in my opinion gets you a little closer to the real thing. No matter what, it will never taste the same as it does in Germany. I highly recommend the Köstritzer Schwarzlager (Black Lager) on tap. It’s like liquid bread. Well balanced dark beer, but without the heaviness of a stout. Their food menu is limited, but it’s not bad. There are several food carts to choose from in the terrace surrounding it. Prost, mein Deutsche Brüder!“
“The enchanted Forrest pizza sub zucchini for broccoli & sub kalamata olives for black olives & ADD field roast sausage - is hands down my favorite vegan pizza in Portland with a GF option those substitutions make it mostly alkaline (except the sau“
“Delicious fish & chips, and we had excellent, speedy and attentive service in an awesome atmosphere with tons of indoor and outdoor seating. Good draft beer selection. Only one cider on tap unfortunately. Food was a bit pricier than we expected for a brewpub kind of place but delicious and we were happy with our experience nonetheless. We would definitely return!“
“Dependable legit British pub grub. The vibe is perfect. Other than the accents, this could be a pub in England or Ireland. There are several dart stations throughout the pub. Huge beer selection. The best thing that I've eaten there are the fish and chips. They are halibut, therefore on the smaller side. But you can order a three-piece which is adequate. The coleslaw they serve with it is flavorless. It's neither sweet nor vinegar. The fries are decent. The chicken pot pie is bone dry. The steak and mushroom pie is less than great too. The chicken sandwich is decent. Check out my profile for more great eateries and craft cocktail bars. ✌?“
“AleFire = beer and hot sauce. That’s a damn good balance, like yin and yang. It’s a spot to chill and have some beers. But also for just stopping by and picking up some good hot sauce. There are three full refrigerators of hot sauce choices. Staff is helpful if you want to find something new.“
“Years ago I worked with Bill at Hayden's and only recently learned this was his place. Last night I finally got to get there for a take out dinner and it was AWESOME! Great job Team. We will definitely be back. ps - How did you get the bread on the Hall Street Italian SO PERFECTLY TOASTED?!?! And my son loved the Cheesy Garlic Bread. Great Portions for the price! thank you thank you“
“This is one of our go to neighborhood friendly bars for food and drinks. Nothing fancy, no frills bar but really good food and drinks at really good prices. The Park City Phillies on the fresh baked bread are delicious along with the Burgers, Tater Tots, and the Park City Salad with Grilled Chicken for our watching what we eat option. Had the meatloaf special and it too was delicious.“
“At least 20 ciders on tap. Wide variety of styles and tastes. Most are apple-based, but a number are blends with other things. Some of the ciders, have no apple in them at all.A very enjoyable place, and for what I tasted the ciders were very good!“
“I love going into the Stone, especially when Amelia is working. She is such a gem of a woman. Always fun, engaging with interesting conversations and makes me feel safe going there by myself. The drink specials are always inventive, delicious, and the food is killer.“
“We love it here. Real company, welcoming and FUN! I highly suggest you stop by and hang out to get the vibe for yourself. It will be a regular hang out for me and my girls. Just love it, that’s for giving us a good reason to go back to the neighborhood we grew up in ❤️ Love love love the owner he is a good guy!“
“Best beer, battered fish, and chips made with halibut that I have found in Portland Oregon. It's a bar so kids aren't allowed. Service is fast and friendly and the halibut. Fish and chips are very reasonably priced. Check out their weekly specials.“
“Really good burgers! Plenty of seating area, can sit outside or inside. Also has a movie theater which is my only complaint. While it’s a minor issue during parts of the movie you can hear the sound system while you are eating inside.But wasn’t a huge issue at least for me.My bacon burger was huge. Although I had another patty added to it.Normal price for a bacon burger was $17But they do have happy hour from 3-6 & 9 until close everyday.Parking: It’s beside the building and some parking on the side street. It is across the street from Safeway so you could just park there and cross the street.“
“The Firkin Tavern is hands-down one of the coolest spots in town, especially on nights when my band, Izy Kactus, hits the stage. It’s like this hidden gem that just explodes with energy and good vibes every time we play. The place packs out, creating this electric atmosphere that’s hard to find anywhere else.What sets The Firkin Tavern apart isn’t just the crowds, though. The bartenders are legends—quick with a drink, always smiling, and somehow make you feel like you’re the only person they’re serving, even when the place is bursting at the seams. It's the kind of service that makes a night unforgettable.But it's more than just a bar; it's a community hub. It doesn’t matter who you are or where you come from; the moment you step through those doors, you're part of the Firkin family. It’s got this great neighborhood vibe that’s welcoming to everyone, making it the perfect spot for a casual night out or to catch some live music.Whether you're there for the tunes, the drinks, or the company, The Firkin Tavern delivers. It’s become our go-to spot not just for gigs but for any night we want to guarantee a good time. If you haven’t been yet, you’re missing out on one of the best experiences the city has to offer.“
“It's kind of a idk, run down joint but the people that go there are really kewl and the bartenders are very friendly. I won 200 off of a twenty in one of their machines and now they are my favorite spot! I didn't eat there so idk about the food. Go there for the atmosphere!“
“Picked this place because reviews said it was dog friendly. Pizza was REALLY good and it made for a filling affordable lunch. Dogs enjoyed the patio. My server Becky did a great job keeping my drinks filled and checking in on me. I will be returning!“
“Came here cuz I heard the Mac n cheese was some of the best in the city!Sadly it was good but not quite "the best" however the price point didn't leave me disappointed. Quite reasonable for what you get!Beer selection is incredible and the atmosphere is quiet but not too quiet and everyone was super friendly. Nice mid west neighbor tavern vibes. Very comfortable!I'll be back to try the burger :)“
“Just grabbing some suds with some industry colleagues was a great experience. I ordered a beer, and when the waitress saw that it had more bubblies than it should, she brought me a fresh one, no questions asked. Always refreshing to get to notch service!“
“It was nice It was a nice atmosphere I enjoyed the staff, and the food was amazing I'd like to say that I enjoyed the company of the people around me. It's a Bar, with a restaurant atmosphere , I really enjoyed my time there I came from out of town and I know every time I come to Portland I will be going to Tabor “
“Just moved to the neighborhood a few months ago and found this gem across the street. Didn't expect to feel so welcome at a bar where the walls have elk heads mounted along with old shotguns above the urinal. Never judge a book by it's cover. Try the chowder on Fridays and the collards on any day!“
“The vibe of this spot is wonderful. ??☂️Walked in on an early cold & cloudy Saturday afternoon.The woody rock ? classic tavern vibes had me feeling at home. Had no problem knocking clean a whole turkey reuben and coke.Could sit and digest before heading out, even when it got busy. Noticed almost everyone else had ordered reubens too. ?*Worked at a restaurant in Florida for some years and folks loved our reubens, but they don't come close to these. ✅“
“I’ve lived in the neighborhood for years and I’m embarrassed to say I’ve never been in this place before. Sorta looks closed from the outside. It was very good burgers and chips. Very cozy, and super friendly —-will definitely go back.“
“Paddy's is a straight 10 in my book, these guys know how to make drinks better than anyone in town. They set a high standard that you just can't get anywhere else. The personalities here are always a good vibe, some good lighthearted banter is always welcome.You bet I'll be back as soon as I can. Thank yall for a great time.“
“So I’ve eaten here a few times and it’s always been awesome. Beer is very good! Monday and Friday are the best days to go for sure. Celebrated two birthdays here as well. I let them know about loud people outside(I could hear them yelling from my house.) They continued to immediately handle the issue and as a kindergarten teacher I was able to sleep peacefully. They aren’t just a bar with good food but also good people that care.“
“The best beer bar in Portland as far as I'm concerned.Welcoming atmosphere, friendly peeps, and GREAT beers, both on tap and packaged. Prices are extremely reasonable. There's usually a 3rd party food vendor, but you can also bring your own. And they've been open everyday for the last 5000+ days!If you like beer and/or bar culture, you should have already visited this place. But if you haven't, there's no time like the present!“
“The sandwiches and burgers here are so phenomenal I've been thinking about them for days after. There are a variety of beer styles -- not just IPAs -- and the beers on tap are excellent. If you're looking for a large tap list or frequent new things to try this isn't the place to go.“
“Fun atmosphere with lots of TV’s for all of the football. Portable, lottery and pinball. Simple eats but good. Bar was quick and solid. Bartender was friendly and service was him and also good. We had cocktails and nachos and watched some football. Nice stop in after walking around Multnomah Village. Food carts down the street. Parking is a bit dicey with no parking lot but we lucked out with parking right in front. Tons of pedestrians so keep an eye out.“
“Think of your living room, its comfy, inviting and super chill. Now add a bar, neon lights, heaping portions of food and stiff drinks. That's Kenton Station summed up. It's like the Cheers of Kenton, and its a great way to meet locals and share a warm meal. They make their soups in house and every one has been tasty. My boyfriend loves the swiss and mushroom burger, and I enjoy the cheesy beefy melt. The bartenders are kind and service is prompt and no fuss. Sound good to you? It's been great for us. Give a local business some support and enjoy a savory meal with an ice cold beer in the heart of Kenton. (Some say this place is haunted .)“
“Great place ,I met the owner friendly courtesy,very accommodating,was will to turn the grill back on for food ,plus the owner took time to see us out the door and that we made it to our cars safely at closing time,this is a place and people that I will come back to visit again when I come to visit in Portland, I live in Klamathfalls, Oregon“
“Joanna was a great hostess and the food was excellent! ~ 35 minute wait for 6 at prime time on a Saturday didn’t feel bad. Convenient parking… good selection of gluten free options too.Dietary restrictions: Good variety of GF and Vegan optionsParking: Convenient parking garage across the street.Kid-friendliness: Kids welcome!“
“Old old st johns boozer. Youd think half of the patrons might even die on the spot. Very sketchy at times..and very friendly at times. It makes you think..i dont want the califonia transplants and hipsters taking it over..and i also dont want to be in a knife fight with some long time drug dealer. Like Dungeouns and Dragons..its a role of the dice. No females after dark unless youre armed..thats all of st John's and portland so not the bars fault. Support, but dont go in thinking some violence could happen walking back out.“
“The three bar backs Jonathan, Kevin and Savanah killed it both Monday and Tuesday night I came for food and brews. The brewery was super busy but never felt unattended. Highly recommend this place. If I’m back in the Portland area I will be back.“
“A straightforward spot in a fun but not crazy location. The real sell for me is the pizza and I am not easily impressed by pizza in the PNW. More of a Detroit style but absolutely delicious. I would love to return on a sunny day on the patio !Vegetarian options: I almost never find a vegetarian pie with red sauce which is all I want out of life honestly“
“Another cozy and unique theater!This building is artwork. Everywhere you look there's something that catches the eye.There's a restaurant attached to it as well so you can get food delivered to you while you watch the movie if you didn't grab any before hand. If you do this option you'll have to sit up stairs. It's fun though especially if you get the seats right at the edge. P.S. there is a restroom on this floor, if you are looking at the screen its on the right hand side.I love their popcorn, pretzels w/ cheese sauce and a pitcher of cider. They usually have three options to choose from.Every time I go, people are pleasant and it's a joy to talk to them.Side note: If you haven't been to McMenamins locations before all the ones I've been to are so much fun. So much detail goes into their spaces and it's always an adventure.I can't wait till next time.Cheers ?“
“Alberta Pub in the King area of Portland is a cornered watering hole hangout hosting a raucous of a party until the wee hours of the morning. My daughter wanted to kickstart our Sunday as she'd gotten wind of Alberta P's Soulful Sundays lineup a while back and suggested we come during my short solo visit to Portland. Alberta P. has a dim, cozy feel with the bar area+stools and other tables around. My kid and I were here for the live music the next room over. This room has high stools, slender counters on opposite side and several hi-top tables front of the stage- with cymbals, decorating the walls. Grab a cocktail and settle in. The owner seems to be a legend in these parts who has been hosting and supporting the local live jazzy+Soulful Sundays music scene for a while. Come here if you wanna listen and jive to musicians zhuzh up famous jazzy and soul tunes. The Sunday my kid and I visited, the live band improvised their own schtick- but it also felt sloppy as the main singers ate up a bulk of the time stretching out the songs. At times, it felt and looked like they were cackling. Despite this, the singers had a powerful voice-especially the guy. My daughter and I ended our evening on a high note in a dimly lit venue while a live band tinkled out sets of jazzy+ soulful tunes until late. Come with an open mind and you'll leave with your senses bedazzled in some fun- but interesting way.“
“Things to dig about the Record Pub: - Music for every type of listener. -Bar to sit down for a drink and think about what records you need to add to your arsenal. -Staff to talk about your selections with. -Educated suggestions for additional beats based upon the ensuing conversation of music you’ll have with the bartender. -Finishing another beverage all happy and giddy about the new vinyl you’re taking home.“
