“If you are in portland do make it a point t to visit Leikam, it's not downtown, not fancy, next to under consturction lots...BUT it's a must!
What they lack in location they make up in the best bar crew, backyard bar feel..so fun to just chill and chat about anything under the sun or moon.

Oh and the beers awesome too!!

Forget the fancy Portland breweries..this is the one to be at!“

“I love ruse. I have been a patron since they opened. Frequent both crust collective and SE. one of the few taprooms that allows dogs inside- which is awesome. Not a fan of their recent pricing changes. $8 for a couvers light? When it’s $4 in a can. I can understand the simplicity of having them all cost the same but Seems more like a cash grab.“

“My wife and I hosted a welcome event in the Baerlic event space the night before our wedding for out of town guests and it was great! Plenty of room but still intimate, a nice aesthetic, and the bartender was friendly and provided excellent service. Their beers are great and the nonalcoholic options were also phenomenal, I would go back! We had Ranch pizza do catering, not only was it super convenient but the pizza was delicious, we had some guests from Detroit who gave it their stamp of approval.“

“I really enjoyed this pod! There are 8+ different places to eat and the food here is wonderful. My wife and I personally tried , "flew the coop" and "La Arepa" and both had great service and the food was delicious. The attached brewery had an amazing selection of beers. The only detractor was that there was A Lot of very hoppy beers. That is a personal preference though. The Beer I did have was delicious. It's very family friendly and I enjoyed it.“

“Always great service, food and beer. My favorite place to go for lunch.“

“Gluten-free beer and a very nice atmosphere where you can hear each other speak, with nice music. Michaela was the most hospitable and patient bartender I’ve ever encountered. Give her a raise and a bonus for helping create a delightful and warm atmosphere that people will want to keep coming back to, especially on cold, rainy Portland nights.“

“The IPAs wete so good!! We'll definitely be back!!“

“Sweet staff. Great space. AWESOME beer.“

“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.“

“Hazy’s for days. This is a must if you’re into hazy! Cheers 🍻“

“Excellent beer and great service! We were so stoked when we learned Chuckanut was opening a tap house in Portland! We were glad to drive hours to get some of the best lagers in the PNW, but 15 minutes is a lot better!“

“Excellent beer selection, dog-friendly and no kids…an all-around win!“

“top shelf beers. drink them all. well ok just the ones you will like.“

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

“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.

“Sarah and Abby are the greatest bartenders I have ever experienced. Both so considerate and observant and just pleasant af. Always know when I am ready for another drink. Also just so sweet and kind and cool and make me feel so special. The reason I come! Thank you for making me and my friends feel so good. I hope your employer knows how incredibly cool and valuable you are! I will come again and again to see you both!“

“Making our way to Thunder Island for a sunny stroll, we stopped here for a bite - and wow, were we impressed! Staff were super friendly, food was spot on (we had mahi mahi fish tacos and pulled pork sandwich with rosemary garlic fries), beers were delicious, and the building and grounds have such a welcoming, peaceful vibe with incredible views all around (not shown are the river and Bridge of the Gods views). Dogs welcome too! We can't wait to return and definitely recommend a visit to Gorges!“

“Honestly my go to brewery, the beer brought me in but the staff and food kept me. I can’t possible recommend vanguard enough.“

“I traded with $500 in my wallet after seeing so many testimonies and recommendation here on Facebook and YouTube about Mrs Cathy Frederick after mining and trading in my account. I opened my wallet and got a profit of $6000 in 7 working days made my withdrawal successfully Mrs Cathy Frederick has changed many life's including mine am grateful ma you are a truly a woman with a heart of a raw gold. I want to thank you for your help and love you showed me when I was very poor, now you have made my life so beautiful you're the best manager I can recommend everyone to work with, thank you MrsCathy Frederick“

“Most bad reviews are old but the new ones are misleading or just plain wrong. Beers are $8, ok big deal…most places have been charging that already and LB has some rare beers most places don’t have. Fantastic beers and their food option through the pizza place is good too! Love the outdoor chill seating! Oh and it’s def in a house…“

“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!“

“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.“

“Local spot in my neighborhood. Always amazing service. The ambience is chill. The food is good with a decent variety. The beer options never disappoint. The problem I have is the one food item I perpetually go back for is the grilled chx Caesar salad (the dressing is yum)!. What I’ve noticed in the last couple years up to this evening is the price stays the same if not inflate (expected) but when you pay full price and receive 1.5oz of chicken is not ok. The ex-large croutons surpass the size and qty of chx provided. I ordered an extra side of chx breast to balance the romaine and croutons and I swear it’s a 1/4 of a butterflied, pounded out chx breast. I sent in an email months ago to convey my dissatisfaction with the Stormbreaker team and never rcvd acknowledgement. I understand the staff needs to follow protocol. This is the owners call.“

“We had to sit ourselves in a crowded restaurant. Then we then had to scan a code with our phone to create an order and then pay for it before it was delivered. We waited for about 10 minutes and then a person came with our drinks. The drinks were good. Then a little while later, another person showed up with our food. The food was good. The drinks and food were good, just wish the service had been a little more personal.“

“What a great selection of beers!“

“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 love the atmosphere, the drinks, and the chili pepper lights at the bar! Lol

The service was good, it was quick until they got busy. Two bartenders for the whole place didn't seem like enough. They could probably use a server/runner. In the end, we sat at the bar with two empty glasses, waiting for service for about 15 minutes before we could wave someone down.

Overall, the vibe was nice. Beers were good. We would come back!“

“Fun ghost tour then pizza.“

“My great nephew was playing drums in a large band to a packed house upstairs in Crystal Ballroom. A dozen or so of assorted family had come to Portland to partake and as the matinee was wrapping up in the late afternoon I said to the drummers mom, who was kind of our ring-leader, I'd go downstairs and stake out a big table for all of us to eat. Shortly after sitting at the largest table in the farthest from the bar corner of the side room, the bartender came to tell me they weren't really staffed to be serving in that room. I told him I had maybe a dozen people coming down from upstairs and we'd be an easy, forgiving crowd. He looked dubious, and said he'd need to check with the manager. He was back quickly putting out menus and arranging chairs. Our final number was ten, and our only server was this same guy who was also one of maybe two bartenders for the whole place. As he took our orders he said it would likely take up to an hour for the kitchen to produce our food, because dozens of people from upstairs had come in as well. Our drinks came quickly, and the food arrived in much less time than he suggested. Every order was correct. To my knowledge everybody liked what they ordered and the prices seemed about right. He did not seem in the slightest rattled by adding our big group to his personal workload and came back a few times to see how were all doing and take additional orders for drinks. And the drummer and the rest of us we were out of there well in time for the evening show at 8:00. I don't know if this really is an excellent place, but it sure was for us.“

“Delicious drinks and food, especially burgers and fries. They work hard to create different burgers for each week and a different cocktail each day. Amazing and friendly service. Lots of indoor and outdoor seating, plus nice local artwork and music.“

“My local. Calm, warm, extraordinary beer (sit down and take home), indoor and outdoor options, cool locale near an office park. Some scheduled food trucks & bring your own makes it even more homey!“

“Great beer and the food carts are awesome!!“

“Home made beers, Reuben sandwich and pastrami sandwich“

“F'n amazing people and amazing beer!“

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