50 Best Beer Bars near Happy Valley

“Excellent food, atmosphere, and service!“

“Incredibly nice staff, and the variety on the menu cannot be beat!“

“We’ve been coming to Wu-Ron’s Ramen for a while now—probably over 20 visits—and it never disappoints. It’s a small, tucked-away spot that we only share with a handful of people because we love being able to stop in and enjoy a fresh, consistently amazing bowl of ramen without the crowd. The quality is always spot on, no matter the day. The waitress always remembers our order, which makes it feel like home, and the cook always greets us with a smile. That kind of warmth and consistency is rare, and it’s one of the many reasons we keep coming back. Wu-Ron’s is one of those hidden gems you want to keep to yourself, but honestly—it’s too good not to recommend!“

“Great foods and great waitress!“

“While Tomorrow’s Verse has a great reputation for welcoming musicians of all genres, they are also popular for live streaming Phish concert runs on a big screen…. and they provide wireless silent disco headphones ! Great rotating tap list and a limited menu of good quality bar snacks. Excellent pizza and salad orders are possible too, from neighbor Red Sauce Pizza. I keep returning for the chill environment for remote work in the afternoons and the friendly regulars watching the latest playoff game at the bar monitor. Try it out on a Tuesday eve when they have an popular bluegrass picking circle. It’s a great place to make new friends.“

“We live 3/4 across the country in Indiana but every time we come to town we always visit the Ale & Cider House. The lady who owns the place and always seems to take care of us and is always very friendly. As for the beers and ciders they are the best we’ve had. Loved the ciders before they filtered them but still taste just as good but without the “look”.😉 A true gem that you must try next time you are in the quaint little town of West Linn. Thanks for the awesome drinks and hospitality!!“

“We met some friends for dinner after not seeing them for some time. Kasia was our waitress. She was a delight. We stayed longer than normal, catching up with friends. She did a great job never saying its time for you to leave. Didn't interupt our dinner, just kept everything coming like it should“

“Best beer in town, Pineapple Express.“

“There are a lot of hard working people keeping this a safe place to engage with others. Expect tea, coffee, drafts, and good company. 👍👍👍

The new porch is great to hang out on and the back porch is also nice and cozy. There is a library upstairs that has some great literature.“

“We went here for the first time today as a family and Oh My Gosh! First off, that was the most delicious pizza I have ever eaten. The price was very reasonable, The staff was absolutely excellent, quick and very friendly. I also love the outdoor seating option. I honestly give this place a 10/10. We most definitely will be coming back. And the real seasonings on the pizza? can you say perfect?“

“Comfortable booths, tiki cocktails, fun karaoke on Saturday night.“

“I loved Backpacker Pizza! I saw an online promotion video for this place and knew I had to check it out. I came on a Wednesday at lunch and it was not too busy. The staff were super friendly and checked in on us a few times while we were eating. The Potato and Prosciutto Pizza was what we had and the fig jam on top was superb! I am definitely going back!“

“Excellent selection of beer (1300?) especially if you only want to buy one (you can also buy 4-packs if you want) and special events tap takeovers, etc are fun too!“

“Don’t go on looks of this restaurant
They know how to make indian food
We ordered saag paneer, dal tadka, roti and rice
Saag paneer was on point and flavor was awesome
Same with daal tadka
Roti were soft and fresh
Highly recommend this place“

“Great place to hang with friends and delicious beverages!“

“Some of the best and most delicious cocktails in Portland can be found at this fantastic and quaint neighborhood restaurant. The service was fast and friendly...and the outdoor space is a perfect (and safe) place to enjoy a Portland summer. We will be back!!“

“This place is something special. First time I've ever felt like really spending time in a bar. I don't go to bars and I don't write reviews. The 13th Moon has me doing both. Anybody that had a negative experience, earned one.“

“Local dive bar. bar food. nice staff.“

“Awesome location with an owner that works the bar and loves the hustle. Would highly recommend for atmosphere and a strong draft selection. The man knows his power tools too, but fair warning, he’s a Milwaukee guy“

“I love this place! I could get a cup of coffee anywhere but this shop has become more than just great food and drinks - it’s a place for neighbors to gather and the owners have fully invested themselves in our community. Love the breakfast sandwiches, my daily coffee and Friday evenings on their back lawn with a beer and friends!“

“I recently hosted a holiday happy hour for 40 people and had such a great experience! I booked the upstairs area which was very nicely decorated and super versatile. Cynthia and Christina made the whole event a breeze. I will definitely be going back for future events. Thanks so much!“

“Great food options, drinks and atmosphere. I love the fire pits and having so many vegan options.“

“Delicious wine and tapas and specials. They serve sangria too. One of our favorite spots in Portland. Definitely check out this place if you haven’t because you won’t be disappointed.“

“Great pizza! Fantastic owners and staff. Fun atmosphere.“

“Love our neighbors down the street at Coffee Beer! Always a friendly vibe, and their menu is great!
The matcha is a favorite!
Their entire menu is vegan, and they have so many varieties of beer that you can try out!
Fun photo booth inside for folks to make great memories!“

“I stopped in there briefly during sandwich week to try out their 10$ sandwich they were promoting “its good to be king sandwich”

The chicken patty has good crispy batter, it seemed to be a ground chicken patty, it had good flavor, with a nice balance of spice as well as balance of chicken, bread, & veg (Arugula, red onion, aioli, tomato ) so it’s not too heavy of a meal.
It was a good sandwich. Nothing to write home about, definitely better than some ive had and paid more for though. Service was good too.“

“I popped in here for the first time several months ago for lunch and a glass of wine, and ended up having what could arguably be one of the best Italian cold cut sandwiches I’ve had in my life. Seriously, I wake up dreaming about that sandwich sometimes it’s so good. The pepper spread pulls it all together. My partner really enjoys the Cascadia Dip.

When it comes to their wine and beer selections, there is a lot to choose from. It’s a great place to take friends or family because there is something to suit everyone’s tastes. The service has been friendly every time, and the atmosphere is great. I feel like they did a great job maximizing their space without crowding tables so close together you’re bumping elbows with strangers. Amazing spot to try out if you’re in the area!“

“Stopped here on our way to Eugene to move our daughter into U of O. Delicious food super friendly staff. Go Ducks!!!!!!“

“Great, atmosphere, food and service. It’s also puppy friendly on the patio! Our server was great, not only was he friendly and professional but he remembered our pups names. Food was very reasonable priced as well, delicious and a good value. We will be back.“

“This was my first time going here and I needed to write a review as soon as I finished my meal. I know a lot of people say they found the best spot when it comes to wings but they are all wrong. I don’t mean to glaze but it’s deserved. These wings were the best wings I’ve had in a while. The service was great. The girl at the cash register was extremely kind and I am happy she added those side sauces because they were delicious with the wings and fries. Also the place was nice and relaxing. 10/10 and taking my little sister and friends :)“

“The buttermilk fried chicken over garlic mashed potatoes and bacon collard greens. Woof! Delicious! Great line up of PNW beers and cocktails as well.“

“Absolutely fantastic! The chicken tacos were juicy, topped with the perfect amount of fresh pico, and the house-made tortillas took them to another level. We also tried the chicken sandwich with the new collaboration special, and it was incredible. We eat a lot of chicken sandwiches, and this one is now at the top of our list.

The beers were excellent as well, making for an all-around great meal. We’ll definitely be making Gorges Beer Co. a regular stop!“

“Best place for beer in the area!!! AJ, best Beertender ever!“

“Super nice staff. Good food Plenty of beers Dig!“

“The staff are really friendly. A very comfortable and relaxed environment.“

“Great local taproom. They play great music on a double record player, and great live music on the weekends. The cider in particular is very good. The food is hot or miss, the pizza is great if a little pricey, the apps and sandwiches are getting better.

Wheelchair accessibility: Not easily accessed by wheelchair that I could see. At least one or 2 steps at every entrance.“

“Excellent beer selection (some you can't find anywhere else) in a very chill bierstube near old Washington High School!“

“So clean! We've been here twice this month because of the good selection of pinball machines, cold beer, super awesome service and welcoming atmosphere. We've crowned Jimmy's as our friendly neighborhood dive bar and it's so worth it to drink affordably here - bonus, they ran my husband's phone out to him after he forgot it on the table. We appreciate you so much!“

“I love this place. It was a bit rough and off kilter once they hired a new manager with crazy hair. Now that she is gone, things are getting back to enjoyable. Great beers and lots of good food carts to choose from. I love watching games on the three large televisions.“

“The trivia night event here was very fun and well-attended!“

“This is another gem in the McMenamins line of fun, historical establishments - and by far my favorite! Been here many times over the years - actually even had my very first lobster roll EVER here (as a special item years ago) and it was amazing. The vibe is so quirky - you definitely feel like you’re walking the halls of your old elementary school - except there are bars and a lively restaurant and even a brewery haha!! The staff has always been super welcoming and friendly. The food at their main Courtyard Restaurant has always been great. On my last visit (July 2023), I had their chicken salad sandwich on croissant and it was SO GOOD!! Even their tater tots were perfectly cooked. And they even have some of the best iced tea I’ve had outside of the south! Their menu changes seasonally so it’s always a treat to try something new. After eating, leave time to explore - the grounds are just gorgeous and you’ll get lost in the nostalgia as you wander around the old school’s hallways. They have several bars - one is huge and has total steampunk vibes. They have a small hotel and a salt water pool - even the bathrooms are beautiful. I’d definitely like to stay here next time - but I imagine it can be a tad spooky at night haha! The school opened back in 1915 so it’s a historic building. The wall art is gorgeous and there are lots of info signs and historical pics scattered around. It’s in a good location in north Portland with plenty of parking and easy to find. I’ll definitely be back next time I’m in the area!“

“Excellent tacos and margaritas.“

“Great place. Great atmosphere and super good drinks!“

“Fabulous experience - highly recommend.“

“The owner Mark Rourke is the BEST! Very friendly and interactive with all the customers. The food and service are the best as well. Also shout out to the bartenders that are very attentive, personable and Johnny on the spot. Oh and I can't forget about the cook who does an amazing job as well. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND you stop in and check this place out. You will not be disappointed 🥰“

“Its been hard to be impressed lately. I’ve been in the industry for a number of years, and post pandemic good help is scarce. It’s been an ongoing struggle for the restaurant industry and i just have to say that I didn’t feel that way about this place on any level. A party of around 14 of us were looked after so well by our server/s. The DELICIOUS food came out fast, and hot, and all at the same time! The vibe was chill and not frantic. atmosphere was perfect. Clean. I had the “Mr. October”. Fried chicken breast over a fresh homemade biscuit, sausage gravy, bacon, fried potatoes.. absolute fire. Paired with their bacon infused bloody Mary topped with candied bacon.. sheesh! Only bad thing I have to say is that it’s not on my side of town and that part sucks! 😂 Go out of your way for this one if you have to. Totally worth it.“

“Great food and atmosphere! Wonderful staff!“

“Absolutely loved our experience here! We came in with a large party and were welcomed with amazing service from the moment we walked in. Everyone was so attentive and friendly, and the food was incredibly fresh and flavorful.

The chips, salsa, and queso fundido were AMAZING! The chile relleno and mini sope with pastor were delicious, and that pastor was SO flavorful!

And the drinks… absolutely mind-blowing! The soft-serve margaritas were delicious, especially the infused hibiscus margarita and the skinny margarita. Everything was worth the price and honestly exceeded our expectations.

Definitely recommend! We’ll absolutely be back!“

“Relax and enjoy your day 😍😍😍“

“Umm... I wanted to rave on and on about the pizza, then the pork meatballs, then the Spag (with meatballs)..but something else struck me that is even more important. Some place finally, THIS PLACE knows how to do wings on the west coast! How did it take this long? Oh my God! I took my chances and those are the wings I've been waiting for. Very impressed!“
