“Highly would recommend. That sums up the experience. The owner behind the counter is a gentleman. He knew his taps like the back of his hand. He was of the upmost polite despite my "ignorance". This place is welcoming. Now the taste of the beer on tap, #10 was good for a wheat beer. There are many options here for all enthusiast or people looking for whatever their pallet is keen to.“
“Okay, Breakside Brewery is fine, nice indoor area and lot's of outdoor ambiance, staff was friendly and the margarita was good - but that's not the point. The best thing about Breakside is that it's the newest location for Tito's Taquitos, and THAT is something to celebrate! If you want the prettiest food on a plate that also is delicious and (relatively) healthy, you want Tito's. Their owners and employees are all the nicest people EVER, the food is ridiculously fresh and gorgeous, and it is SO GOOD. Great vegetarian options, I love love love their carnitas mushrooms! It's like eating a work of art, and even though it's deep-fried, there's so much fresh raw garnish and salsa and healthy toppings so it barely feels like a fried meal. Hubby always gets the fried fish tacos, and he also loves the shrimp tacos. We tried their new potato appetizer/nacho thing and it was really good, but the taquitos are still the best thing to get. Seriously, if you haven't tried Tito's, you must. This new location at Breakside is way closer to my work and easier to get to, which makes me very happy!“
“Great hole in the wall place. Surprised they weren’t busy.Really great space with indoor and outdoor seating. The beer is delicious. The food was even better. 9/10 on the food.All in all a great little place that should be enjoyed and should be busier than it was for a Saturday afternoon.“
“Dined last night with a party of eight, four kids and four adults and the food was great! Brussel sprouts, arancini, kale salad, and pizzas all came out quickly and everything was nicely seasoned and well balanced in flavor. The only real problem with our experience would be the lack of servers/ front of the house staff. Trying to connect with friends over a meal and having to order through a QR codes is really just the worst. Unfortunately this pandemic band-aid fix for social distancing has continued for places like this to keep labor costs down for restaurant/ establishment owners. Easier on their pocket books however this provides a lackluster experience for their customers. Even our food runner couldn't help us navigate our order history to search for a mistake in their food delivery, he was kind and fixed it however. The pandemic is over, hire some great FOH staff and this place would be soooo much better.Parking: Nice, large parking lot.Kid-friendliness: Nice large tables with games for kids!“
“A great place to grab a brew before or after a meal. They do not have food/meals just a few small pre packaged munchies. But you can get food delivered, or bring your own. There are some nice places close by for meals. It's very chill with good tunes always playing. Workers are super friendly and helpful. Don't be afraid to ask questions about anything new and recommended. They know what they are doing here. Looking to expand your taste, this is a good place. They host gatherings and markets from time to time. There is a nice outside area and a good amount of seating inside. Good for groups or just wanting to hang.“
“Great place!I stopped here on the last leg of a cross country road trip in the early afternoon. The beer is fantastic, the food from Tomale Boy amazing, and the service top notch. Had a nice conversation with the bar tender and enjoyed the casual relaxed atmosphere without pretense.“
“definitely in the upper echelon of breweries in Portland. I have it just above Deschutes and in the company of 10 Barrel Brewing and Breakside. Normally im not a lager guy either but their Helles Lagerbier was really great and lives up to its GABF Medal. They make a great summer shandy out of it too. Also, there IPAs here are really great and live up to the West Coast IPA scene. the Spellbound IPA was really good and their original ipa and Earth's Eris were pretty good too“
“Up and coming little nano brewery in the north side of town, no food served but Thai food truck right out front and home brew supply store next door. The location is a modern mix of industrial brewing equipment and hip tasting room decor with bar games, small patio area, etc. The staff and owners were really friendly, happily providing tastes and information about the establishment. Started with the Ginger Kid Vanilla Red Ale, a decent red, malty in flavor and medium body. Moved on to Gnome Bard Wit, which was a refreshingly nice and light beer for a hot day! Decent bite to it. Also tried the Tiny House Session, another good one, better than the previous in my opinion, more suited for a laid back beer to quench the thirst without getting too buzzed. Lastly, came the Common Cut, which I did not care for too much. All in all a great visit, being a fairly new brewery, I look forward to what they have in store next. With single barrel batches, they often introduce new taps so stay tuned! Check out their website, it will win you over pronto! Thanks guys, see ya again soon! Best, ~S“
“It is undoubtedly one of the best winery bars in Portland, with the best wines, environment, and atmosphere.They make a lot of experimental wines that are very special and delicious. The bar is decorated in the style of a jazz bar, and the music is played on vinyl records. There are drinking spaces on the first and second floors, both of which are very comfortable.It's a pity that they only get a lot of customers coming in to drink when there are events nearby. I hope everyone will come and support us even when there are no activities.“
“We received excellent service at both locations we visited. This one was by far the best one we’ve been to out of both of them. Our bartender was amazing and on top of everything. I wish I got his name to give a shout out. He went absolutely above and beyond. We try to visit Vancouver every year, so we will definitely have to make a stop here on our way home. We love Great Notion. We’ve never been disappointed. We always get a few to take home with us. I’m a bit late to make a review of here, but I’m quite literally drinking Blueberry Muffin and it reminded me to do so.“
“I'm always hesitant to try a new pizza place because I'm really picky about my pizza but I'm glad I did because the pizza here is SO good!I got a cheese and a pepperoni and whatever cheese blend they're using is just absolutely fantastic. Normally I order light sauce but I forgot this time and thankfully they use the perfect amount of sauce and the flavor was great.I ordered through Uber eats and didn't have an option on there to add extra cheese, so I called to ask about adding it right before placing my order. They were so friendly and were happy to add it, and told me they don't even charge for extra cheese!Will definitely order from Steeplejack again!“
“Our favorite Portland area brew pub. Just has a great combination of a cool relaxing atmosphere, frequent live music, interesting menu, big windows and patio for people watching … great staff too. It’s a real community get together. Staff are real nice folks.“
“If you haven't had Blind Satyr beer, you don't know what you're missing! Don't expect floofy apricot infused kombucha brews. The beer here is pure, unadulterated goodness that pairs well with a good ribeye and doesn't leave you with a sugar hangover. looking forward to trying more of their amazing brews!“

“Great variety of beers made at this brewery. You can sit at the bar or find a table and try samples of the beers to make sure you get the ones you want.They have sours, IPAs, stouts, a Scotch ale and many more rotating. Dog friendly and free popcorn in this air conditioned place too!“
“This place is so cool!! There is a bar and restaurant with a movie theater inside. You order your food and drinks and they give you a number to take into the theater with you. They bring your food right to you as you're watching the movie. The decor is super unique and so cool to look at all the different things they have in there. In the movie theater, there is a dome up above that is super cool as well. The theater chairs are nice and big and give you lots of room. They have tables connected to the chairs in front of you for your food. We love this place and will definitely be coming back and recommending to others.Parking: They have a parking lot and parking on the streets around it.Kid-friendliness: It is definitely kid friendly.They even have a kids menu for food.“
“We stopped here randomly on a beautiful Friday afternoon. The loaded Brussel sprouts are outstanding, the perfect blend of crispy and savory. We ordered The Butcher pizza and added mushrooms. The pizza and sauce was out of this world. We opted for the Black Walnut Old Fashion for our drink. I would highly recommend.Service was great and the patio was a great place to enjoy a meal.“
“My beer knowledge has ebbed and flowed during my time in Oregon. There were years when I went to festivals, curated loops of brewery tours for visiting friends and generally cared way too much about beer. Then there's the point I'm at now, where a new brewery has to legitimately bring something new to the table to get me to break routine or present value that makes it unique in the marketplace.If your pints are $8 to $9 in the taproom, but your four packs of 16-ounce cans go for roughly that at WinCo, I'm not impressed.Settling into a less fanatic approach to beer here has given me more appreciation for breweries like Vertigo and folks like Mike. During the peak of the Oregon beer boom--when banks were throwing stupid money at any business plan that involved beer and legacy brands that sold to disinterested owners just waited for their turn to die--Mike plugged along at Vertigo and kept improving his recipes and offerings.When Hillsboro said "Hey, want to pay way more overhead for a spot downtown that can't fit your tanks?" Mike passed and had food trucks come into his business park. When the Hillsboro Hops said "Hey, want to pay an exorbitant rights fee to have the ballpark ale at the park?" he once again passed and let BridgePort bankrupt itself as a minor league team's official partner. It took about four breweries (also from outside of Hillsboro) to replace it.Mike persists for the reason Orenco Tap House persists and Culmination Brewing persists... he knows full well what it's like to maintain a brewery on your own and keep the place afloat. The brewhouse and DIY tasting room? That used to be a lot more commonplace before brewers started taking out jumbo loans and pouring venture capital into fast-growth, multiple-footprint operations. The growlers and kick-the-keg specials? Yeah, that's how you build something called loyalty instead of playing a turnover game that'll force a rebrand every three years.A menu of beers like blondes, porter, pale ale (that still boosts the baseball team), traditional IPAs and the venerable Razz Wheat aren't "entry level" offerings, but staples for regulars who've been around the horn of hazies, sours, pastry stouts and other exploding-can trends before seeking their forever home. There's a reason why this taproom is a blend of area old-timers and Intel youngbloods... and why Vertigo's offerings have only become more accessible on taps throughout Washington County.A brewery doesn't need to conquer the world to succeed, nor does it need to chase trends to be beloved: It just needs to care about the product it makes, care enough about the people buying it to keep them comfortable and make the occasional concession to the times.Mike started canning because the pandemic called for cans... and buyers grew to like them. Names of beers changed to sound less like seasonals and more like year-round staples. But the core of the business never wavered, and Vertigo's clientele is grateful.Much like many legacy businesses here in the area (Helvetia and Oak Knoll wineries, the Pharmacy, Hale's, etc.), I get the sense that Vertigo's here for as long as Mike wants it to be. Considering how few of his contemporaries had that option (or stuck around to find out), Hillsboro is extraordinarily fortunate to house a brewery of Vertigo's quality and pedigree that remains so vital to its surrounding community.“
“This is my second time here, and I can no longer put off writing a review. My experience has been stellar to say the least. I am somewhat of a beer connoisseur, and Stickman surprises me pleasantly each time. The beer selection is very nice and varied. The Belgian blonde I tried today has been absolutely perfectly crafted.The service both times was quick, professional, and courteous. I love the comfort of the space, which on a cold March day, and near freezing temperature outside, is cozy, warm and wants you to just stay for just one more pint.Heads down the best experience I have had in many years!!! Kudos, and I will be back as soon as I can.“
“This is a great local brewery. Our go to neighborhood location. This is a video game theme brewery, pinball games, and has a small outdoor deck in the back and small outdoor patio in the front. This is a dog friendly establishment for well-behaved dogs :) We have brought our dog and kiddo and it has been great. Beer is definitely solid. This used to be an old bank and the taps are inside what used to be a bank vault! Very friendly staff.“

“A nice cozy spot. Food is always consistent, as is the service. All McMenamins have a unique vibe and this location is one of my favorites. Whether cozying up by the fire in the winter or sitting outside in the summer, anytime is a great time to stop in for a burger and a drink. Love the vegan Mystic Burger and the house made mystic sauce. I used to love the cajun tots but for some reason all locations have just become so stingy with the spices I just order them regular now because there isn't much of a difference but I still enjoy them.“
“Delicious meal of the day. It was some kind of fish which I truly enjoyed. I have a well traveled palette so I asked for some extra garlic butter and lemons to add to my fish just in case. But I was pleasantly surprised at how perfectly seasoned the dish was. Well done Backwoods! I have attached before and after pics of my plate to show how much I enjoyed the meal.However, I was disturbed by how liberally the staff sprayed the table adjacent to us with a Peroxide solution, and then wiped it down with a cloth. This happened just after our meals were served. It happened again while we had our drinks after the second group left the same table. I worry that the spray's microparticules will travel to meals and drinks nearby and as a result we are subconsciously ingesting a cleaning agent!! I suggest that you spray the solution on a cloth away from food and drink, and then just wipe the table with the cloth. I would otherwise have given Backwoods 5 stars....“
“I'm not a beer drinker... so I skipped this place for way too long.... Don't make the same mistake I made. The pizzas are a-maz-ing! Great interior with plenty of outside seating on these perfect summer/autumn days. We've always enjoyed good service .... Friendly staff.... Great location in MLK (for us anyway!)“
“I’m not sure if Tyler is part of your location, but whoever the Safeway Tyler was at Safeway today was a complete champ. Me and my buddies totally bought some and he gave us a few laughs while trying out the beer. Thanks breakside and thanks Tyler!!“
“Barleycorn," of course, refers to the barley used in malt liquor. And aren't we glad it does? Inside John Barleycorns, you'll find a nice, dark, cozy space — topped by a dramatic cathedral ceiling — and McMenamins-strength ales and spirits. Outside, the terrace is surrounded by a garden.Stop by with family and friends for a pint or two, handcrafted in-house.Happy Happy Hour 2-5 everyday“
“If I lived in Portland I'd come here regularly. The beer was amazing and Jason was awesome to talk to. It was really cool experiencing a nano brewery and trying some awesome beers made by someone who loves beer. The hazy IPA I had was amazing and I'm definitely going to miss it.“

“Gotta say, this place is always a great time. Some of the most fun and interesting beers I've ever gotten to enjoy.Victoria was helping us for the evening, and was so very kind, interactive, and personable. She did an amazing job, and I highly recommend stopping by.“
“Fantastic 'market' destination with food and drinks, don't let the quiet street front put you off. The Taproom bar has great selection of local craft beers and incredible cocktails. Awesome service as well - learnt loads about good spots in Portland to hang out.“
“Lionheart makes my favorite kombucha, and I’ve tried many brands! I love that Lionheart kombucha is dry and low in sugar. I prefer to go to their warehouse and by cases of 12 bottles for $35.. it’s much better than paying $4 a bottle at new seasons.“
“Good rooftop beer bar. Great service, but significantly understaffed for a sunny Friday afternoon. I ordered a turkey sandwich and an Sight of Science IPA. Neither were great, but that's on me. I would have been better off with a Portland salad and a hazy. Fries were good.“
“Exceptional Brews and AtmosphereThis brewery exceeded all expectations and provided a truly exceptional experience.The staff at this brewery are not only friendly and welcoming but also incredibly knowledgeable. Their passion for the craft is evident in every interaction, as they eagerly shared insights into the brewing process and offered thoughtful recommendations. It's clear that the team takes pride in their work and is dedicated to ensuring that every visitor has a top-notch experience.And, of course, the brews themselves are nothing short of exceptional. From crisp lagers to robust stouts, the variety and quality of the beer selection are truly impressive. Each brew is expertly crafted, showcasing a depth of flavor.The combination of great ambiance, knowledgeable staff, and outstanding brews makes it a must-visit for both seasoned beer enthusiasts and casual visitors alike. I left with a profound appreciation for the dedication and passion that goes into creating such a remarkable establishment. I wholeheartedly recommend this brewery to anyone looking for a 5-star experience in the heart of Portland's vibrant beer scene.“
“Did the Haunted Shanghai Tunnel Tour and it was super fun! Natasha was our guide and not only provided great history and storytelling but also humour. We capped off the tour with a sampling of Old Town beer in the basement. Would definitely recommend for a unique PDX experience!“
“I have been coming to Kells for years and it's always been a phenomenal bar with amazing food. However, I ordered the wedge salad today and it compelled me to redownload this app and give Kells a 5 star rating. Perfect portion size with fresh and delicious ingredients. Also must try the BBQ wings and the Kells Reuben. Insanely good food with impeccable service. You can tell the people who work here genuinely care about the business and it shows in the way they stop to chat with you and be friendly. Also a great spot pre or post Timbers match. Keep doing you Kells!“
“My family and I have been going here for 7 years now and feel the same as day one. The crew has always been friendly and the food is great. Never come home with left overs haha. Great beer selection I recommend the piney. Keep this place alive support Ancestry Brewing!“
“I got the Paloma, Forager pizza, and the artichoke dip.10/10. Don’t sleep on this spot!Hands down the best artichoke dip. Creamy, full of veggies, and so tasty.Pizza was awesome. I personally love Detroit style pizza but I’ve never had one with an oil instead of sauce on top. SOO good! The crust has a crunchy outside throughout which is sometimes not the case at other establishments.Paloma was top notch. Loved our first visit, can’t wait to come back.“
