44 Best Brewpubs near Happy Valley

“We had the Charcuterie. It was good. They had friendly staff, good selection of beer at a fair price, and the facility was big and roomy including the outside seating. We will probably be back to try the pizza. The pizzas seem kind of small for the price they are charging.“

“Great beer and sours! Staff is awesome!“

“In the city of breweries, this is the best brewery.“

“Grand For Brewing has stellar food and amazing beer. We had the queso, wings (which were huge!), the chicken tenders and wedge- which was one of the best I've had. I tried two IPAs and each was top notch. The staff was super friendly and lots of tables to sit at.“

“Good cider. The outside patio was not set up on a nice 75 degree day. The flight of ciders is fun and affordable. We ordered the pretzel and the one we were served was lopsided so half was quite overcooked and crunchy, but the side that looked like it was supposed to was delicious. The dish is good, they just should not have served the individual pretzel we received. Overall good spot that is family friendly with a fun environment. Not too crowded.“

“We hosted our fantasy football draft at WACH last night and it was the perfect spot! 🍻 The atmosphere was awesome — plenty of space for our group, great beer and cider options, and the staff made sure everything ran smoothly. Having the big screen available for our draft board took the whole experience to another level. Everyone in our league agreed this was one of the best draft nights we’ve ever had, and the venue was a big reason why. If you’re looking for a fun, relaxed place to host an event, hang out with friends, or just enjoy some drinks, I can’t recommend WACH enough. We’ll definitely be back next year!“

“Lynn was incredibly helpful when I needed to create a gift for our head carpenter. She helped me choose beer and a tee shirt and then helped me carry everything to the car. I can't say enough about the service. Thanks Lynn.“

“I do not have celiacs and am not gluten intolerant. The chicken strips are one of the best chicken I've had in my life, gluten-free or not. They were so moist yet crispy and crunchy; I would come back for just the chicken strips. But the beer too! My partner and I had three different kinds and loved all of them. If you're in the area, gluten-sensitive or not, stop in! It's amazing.“

“Great casual atmosphere with lots of great beer. Enjoyed the heated outdoor area.“

“Great food and atmosphere! Wonderful staff!“

“Can’t believe I hadn’t written a review for this place yet. After moving to Gresham a few months ago, I’ve been here weekly, sometimes multiple times a week. Their selection of approximately 18 beers has its classics that are always there, and then a rotating selection of tasty/seasonal selections beers that keeps things fresh. I particularly love their Cherry and Watermelon Sours. They offer growler fills and have a fun members club called “The Herd.” On Thursday evenings there is a friendly run club. Their taco Tuesday deal and Ranchhand pizza with the smoked pork are can’t miss.

Everyone who works there is super friendly and they’re such a treasure to have in the neighborhood.“

“The McMenamins is basically the same as all the others I've been in. But the theater rocks! It's a very old theater with a very old fashioned style, but it's been well kept up and I enjoy going there just for that.

Parking: It's a very busy area, so you may have to park a few small blocks away.

Wheelchair accessibility: I'm pretty sure it's wheelchair accessible but call to make sure first.“

“Friendly gluten free restaurant with an excellent selection of food, ciders and cocktails. It’s so reassuring to know they use quality ingredients and really care about their product.

My only suggestions are to have a slightly more affordable can beer selection and to make sure food isn’t too hot as I burned my mouth unbelievably bad while eating a chicken sandwich.“

“Amazing food, excellent atmosphere, fantastic bloody Mary's!! Very clean and staff was very attentive, would definitely recommend.“

“Tall booths and a cozy, dimly lit atmosphere make this spot perfect, especially on a rainy Portland day. The service is great, too. Unfortunately, McMenamins' food quality has declined while prices have risen. I’ll stick to happy hour cider and tots—everything else just isn’t worth it.“

“2025 Review:
This place has gone through major overhaul! The Zed formerly known as ZHaus was always a great spot for community and beer— and they doubled down and chose to focus on just that. There are a variety of food stalls to choose from along with a stage area for live music, and a large spot that opens toward their parking lot, which serves as the location of the Lents international farmers market. Happy to have a good place to grab food a beer and spend time with my friends.

2018 Review:
I want so badly to like this place, I really really do. This neighborhood hasn't had a lot in the way of high quality restaurants and when this opened up, they were welcomed with open arms.
Unfortunately it just doesn't live up to our expectations.
The food is subpar: The ingredient leave a lot to be desired and the execution just isn't there. Salads come with wilty/old looking veggies. Bread is overly toasted. Fried food is extra greasy. The best thing on the menu is probably the kids Mac & Cheese--it's really tasty!
The service is rarely good: Sometimes we have attentive servers, but most often service is slow or bumpy. We have had experiences with LOOOONG waits and no check ins or apologies, times where incorrect orders come out, and times with just blah servers. What's even more frustrating is when it doesn't seem to be because it's busy. One time we had a terrible experience, but it was SLAMMED. But often, we see staff talking to each other rather than being attentive to customers.
The beer is great: If you sit at the bar you can be fairly guaranteed to get good service. There's a beautiful skylight over the bar as well, so it's really a nice spot. They also have great deals for growler fills.
Also, they are wonderfully involved in the community. They support local fairs, the farmers market, The Pickles Games/fans, and more. They open their doors to people during the heat and offer water without requiring purchases.
They have so much potential, and the community is very supportive because they want them to succeed. But there is now a lot of construction with new food options opening up soon, and Z-Haus won't be able to rest on the dedication of the community alone. Real changes need to be made to improve the quality of the ingredients, the execution of cooking, and the training of staff.“

“Undoubtedly the best oysters I’ve had better than any seafood restaurant Who ever gave them a bad review should try ahain“

“I do not think there are words to express the joy of stumbling upon Fracture! Ellie is an absolute gem of a human (hopefully this is spelled right). Beer is so good. The space is perfect. Plants, dimmed lighting, and just a very cute modern vibe that makes you feel you're at home.
Multiple food trucks outside to ensure you don't get crazy because you'll want to stay and hang out for a long time.“

“Excellent Coffee Tour. The gentleman that did the tour was extremely knowledgeable about all things coffee. It was easy to follow the things that he said and we were able to sample the Sumatra and Kenya blends. I Love That Mcmenamins makes the extra effort to make sure they are working with fair trade brands and no chemicals. Its so cool to learn about the ends and outs of roasting the beans and the formulas they have to follow. I had no idea all that went into making an awesome cup of coffee.“

“Drinks, food and service is always great! I’ve grown accustomed to driving to Camas for dinner or catching the bus over for a drink from Curt the bartender. My favorites are the weekly sandwich specials since I’m usually there for dinner, Brussel Sprouts and the wings. For drinks, the old fashioned and sometimes the whiskey sour when I don’t drive myself.

Worthy of trying and hopefully falling for the great staff and menu like I have!“

“Sweet staff. Great space. AWESOME beer.“

“It had been a few years since I been there, and it was the same...great beers and delicious food. Also, going in the summer is the best, love the outdoor space.“

“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.“

“I wanted to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude for the fantastic experience we had at Old Town Brewing during our recent visit. Both the pizza and the beers were absolutely amazing, as always, and we thoroughly enjoyed our time there.

Living a couple of hours north in Washington, I am already looking forward to our next visit. The kindness and friendliness of your entire staff make every trip worthwhile. Thank you once again for making our experience memorable. Thank you to their owner Adam and Pub Manager Kevin for being amazing with our scheduling mishap on the Ghost Tour at your other location!“

“Very friendly service. I ordered the carne asada plate and the nica platter to split with my sister. All very tasty, especially the sweet plantains in the ranch sauce they serve with it. They were a little skimpy on the meat with my entree, and I do wish they'd give just a bit extra, but it is absolutely very tasty, beautiful piece of grilled meat with some nice char and I would for sure come back here. The drinks are pretty good too and on that they are more generous with your serving.“

“F'n amazing people and amazing beer!“

“awesome environment and beer“

“We almost didn’t come here because of other reviews we read, but we had a fantastic experience. The waitress, Aleah, was attentive, gave good recommendations, and very nice to chat with. The food came out very quickly and tasted delicious- no complaints whatsoever. Good music, nice atmosphere, we will definitely come here again!“

“Wednesday wing night was delicious.“

“I came into this location today while I was having a panick attack and feeling unwell due to the heat, and the 2 gentleman that were working (I didn’t catch there names) were so kind, they let me and my friend sit in a private room where a fan was to cool off. I wanted to thank them for their kindness!! Thank you.“

“Our first time here and the beer was good! The food ops are endless with all the food carts! The place was hopping for a Friday night and it is family and pet friendly. I couldn’t believe how many kids there were!“

“The food in every McMenamins location is pretty consistently very good but not great. That being said, if you're in the mood for a burger, I have yet to find burgers in Portland that are significantly better than the these ones. Notably, at this particular location, every time I've been, the service has been excellent. The waiters who are cordial, kind and attentive without being too pushy about anything or to get you out the door. That in addition to that cozy atmosphere with good heating, music and decorations makes it a great place to chill if you need a bite to eat and an hour or two to relax without being bothered.“

“Lucky Labrador is very friendly to board game players - the tables are large, the food and beverages are good, and there is plenty of room to play whatever your game.“

“This place is fantastic! Large open area in the back with some seating upstairs. Very friendly for children- our daughter loves the toys, crayons, and Puck the cat!

The beers all taste great and the food cart is delicious.

Andrew always treats us well and provides great service.

There's always something fun going on too- a cooking class, trivia, or free concert, we love coming by.

Outside seating is also a bonus with fire pits and covered patio if it gets cold.

Go have a pint!“

“We recently dined in at this location and we were all blown away by the service, food and atmosphere. Zack was our waiter and he was very attentive and friendly. The entire staff was incredibly accommodating to our large party and small kids. The food came out quickly, even on a busy evening and everything was delicious. Really fun, lively environment! Melissa the manager was friendly and clearly has a great team working there. All around, just really happy with our recent experience and we'll be back!“

“We dined in with a group of 12 for our department holiday gathering. Pat was very helpful and accommodating through the entire process! He took our orders ahead of time and had it sent to the kitchen before we even arrived. This made for a very smooth and easy group dining experience (rare!). Our group had a great time and we would reccomend working with Pat for group dining/parties.“

“I saw a review on crypto investment that changed my story for good. I never believed it at first but after much convincing by my account manager in the person of Mrs Craig Vanessa I decided to give it a trial with just $5,000 even though there was a lower cost of investment. Starting with this, I made a profit of $35,500 in the first week. I am sharing this here for those that may have an interest. Mrs. Craig Vanessa is genuine and her style of trade is unique. Completely top-notch and different from the rest. Contact her today and you will not regret it. Send her a DM on WhatsApp via the number on her Facebook: Mrs Craig Vanessa“

“Really good food, lovely staff, quiet and peaceful atmosphere.

Kid-friendliness: Our kiddo was at a slumber party this time but other kids were there with their families and the staff were accommodating, friendly, and happy to see them.“

“Sweet staff. Great space. AWESOME beer.“

“Great pizza. Solid beer. Neat bar/seating. It’s not big and you have to keep the weather in mind when visiting because of the set up but it’s a neat place. 87 degrees, a nice breezy, a tasty margarita pizza, and a crisp cold lager is a 5 star evening in my book.“

“Pumpkin Patch Ale: Although I've become less of a beer guy since my college days, I like to try at least one new pumpkin beer each fall. Rogue was founded in 1988 by Jack Joyce, Bob Woodell, Rob Strasser, and Jeff Schultz. Since its inception, they have only had two brewmasters and have won more than 2,000 awards for taste, quality, and packaging. For starters, I love the artwork on the can, which in my opinion is just as important as the taste as I like to display my pumpkin beer bottles and cans this time of year. It's an eye-catching pumpkin orange with a depiction of a pumpkin patch and one particularly ghoulish looking pumpkin. Pumpkin Patch Ale is made using whole pumpkins that Rogue chops up and roasts by hand. Hand roasting allows for a more precise caramelization of the natural sugars. Combining the sugars with the perfect balance of spices results in Pumpkin Patch Ale's signature flavor. The ale comes in at 6.1% ABV and has an IBU of 25. It pours an orangish/amber color and is slightly hazy. I found the flavor to be a mild pumpkin that was not overly spicy or too vegetable-like. Very drinkable, Doughboy approved.

“It's a McMenamin's restaurant. Attach everything that goes with it: antique signage, proprietary arty atmosphere, wide variety of microbrews, and sturdy pub fare.
McMenamin's no longer cuts their own fries. I miss that terribly. These days, I find myself resorting to their tots, as their mass-produced shoestrings taste like sadness and missed opportunity. Seriously. DQ does fries better than McMenamin's nowadays. I feel like it's the end of an era.
Still and yet, their trademark burger offerings and high-quality ingredients don't disappoint. Their excellent variety of ciders and gf substitutions allow this seasoned pub ruminant-turned-cliche to still have a great experience. Don't expect a celiac-safe space. But intolerants should be fine.
Waitstaff are seasoned pros, and do a great job.
Glad to have this location in outer SE. It's an oasis in an otherwise big-box section of town.“

“Excellent food! Had the fish and chips, my wife got a burger and so did my son. Really good meal, service was good and our server was friendly. Little slow, but everything was good!

Kid-friendliness: Had a kids menu that wasn’t just chicken strips and burgers“

“Awesome pizza, great selection of beer AND the staff is fantastic!! Will definitely go back sometime soon!!“
