50 Best Pubs near Lake Oswego

“A quaint little Irish pub with an authentic owner from Dublin is a win in my book!

They have an amazing outdoor seating area that we took advantage of after golfing.

The drinks were wet and plentiful. The fish and chips were huge, but I ate till I was stuffed because it was so good!

I highly recommend this place!“

“We had an amazing time at our monthly Dive Bar Networking meeting! Thank you Firehouse Pub for your hospitality & great service! And the grace for putting up with 34 networkers being loud with laughter. Great group. Great Pub.“

“Great place, and bartender was amazing.“

“Rose City Book Pub hosted us for a show and they were amazing. The staff worked SO hard to take care of us, especially since they weren’t expecting a huge group of wizard rockers to descend upon their establishment. What a cool venue, and so welcoming. Thank you thank you thank you!“

“The Reubens were delicious, but the highlight was definitely the chocolate chip cookie. It may be the best cookie I've ever had from a restaurant!“

“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.“

“Absolutely loved this place. We recommend the hotdogs, chicken bulgogi (has some rice cakes), and soy garlic fried chicken. The customer service is excellent and let us use the restroom after closing. Great customer service, great food, and loved the vibes. Highly recommended for everyone“

“Toll, das auch! Oder? ？？“

“The Big Bottom burger was very delicious 😋. The service was great and friendly.“

“I love staying at the White Eagle, a historic working person’s hotel in North Portland. The music venue downstairs is wonderful, food always excellent, rooms are basic and comfy, bathrooms down the hall clean with lots of hot water for showers. Best of all, friendly staff and courteous fellow guests. Bargain prices. I stay here on almost all my trips through Portland.“

“Always predictably good. Solid pub food, love the soups and salads too. It’s our neighborhood favorite. They haven’t raised their prices which means the value is amazing! .“

“We loved this cider place the ciders we’re all really good“

“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.“

“really fun place, good food“

“Old Portland. Excellent beers and cocktails, pinball, music from Tom Waits to Rainbow. Totinos pizza and White Castles provide a buffer to the alcohol. An expansive patio affords views of the Clinton Street bike path and happy Portlanders passing. Go here and experience Portland circa 1995.“

“Love the atmosphere and service everytime I'm in there. The Irish Dip is my go to with Cajun tots. The bun seemed different this time which was a little bit of a bummer since it was too soft for a dip but everything else was good as always.“

“The food came out and looked amazing but unfortunately we had dinner before we came. I had the Moscow Mule,, they actually purée the ginger. I ordered a late night Spanish coffee so both cocktails were some of the best we’ve ever had. My hubby had a black and tan and tried both of mine. We definitely both agree is one of the best places to come for good cocktails, good food and staff. We are both raised in PDX & we’ve been just about everywhere; we would 100% recommend it. We had the bartender name Natasha,

Thanks!“

“I absolutely love that every Sunday their pool tables are open to anyone and they're free. So awesome! I've never even really heard anything bad about this place. Everyone's super nice and laid-back. It's a cool place if you have to waste some time or you just want somewhere to hang out that's friendly. This is the place.“

“Great hangout spot to meet with friends and play pool“

“What a great selection of beers!“

“You cannot say anything bad about please place, sorry. They are one of the best kept secrets in Portland.“

“Absolutely love Sellwood Saloon! This place is a gem in every way possible. The owners are fantastic - welcoming, friendly, and truly passionate about what they do. The bartenders are not only skilled at mixing drinks but also energetic and funny, making every visit a memorable experience. The atmosphere is simply fantastic - cozy and inviting, perfect for a night out with friends or a relaxing drink after work. If you're looking for a place with great vibes, top-notch service, and an all-around fantastic experience, Sellwood Saloon is the place to be. 5 stars all the way!“

“are house in the middle of the street ... HOME“

“Alberta street pub has an awesome little venue hidden behind the bar, if your looking for killer local bands, whether country, jazz, blues or anything other, support there cause! The bar itself and the patio(huge) is alone on its own, worth a night out with your friends!“

“Great place to have a cold one“

“The poutine was just OK. They need to add pocked 9 ions and pickled jalapenos as standard and allow you to take them off if you don't like them. Also, the best poutine I have had has braised beef or pulled pork or some sort of meat to balance all the flavors.

The beer was very good. I tried their reserve stuff and their bourbon barrel aged beer and they were pretty good - all of them.“

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

“Everything is great except for one of the male bartenders.“

“Good Vibes and staff is friendly.“

“Good selection of decent German beer on tap.Brought out of town family.On July 30,Rudest Worse Bartender that I have ever met.Zero Customer skills.Exactly what I did not want,When trying to introduce Portland to visitors.This place used to be good.“

“Very warm, friendly and inviting ... like home 💖“

“Close to home, inexpensive drinks, all the tvs have football, there's keno, 2 pool tables (free on sundays), and slot machines. The other day they let me watch spongebob at 3pm. Who could wish for anything more?!“

“1st time stop in. Husband had club sandwich and I had a Fire Burger. Both were delicious with handcut fries! The house Bloody Mary was also great! Amazing meal for under $50.“

“Cool pub! They had Boneyard IPA on tap. 🍻“

“This is my favorite place in Portland. I love the open mics, the trans community events, the potlucks, and the openness of the space. Every time I walk in, I feel welcome. The worker-owners are caring and kind people. The giraffe is definitely a fun added touch - but my favorite part of the Tap is definitely the community. This place has singlehandedly motivated me to stay in Portland.“

“Love this bar! It was my birthday on the 24th of October, had friends and family here - had a blast! No dreams, chill and fun atmosphere. I’m here often and will continue to come. Everyone that works here is friendly, goes above and beyond - definitely recommend!“

“First time we ate outside during the fall, we sat near the windows to the restaurant where the fireplace is. I distinctly smelled the faintest scent of death while no one else in my party did at all. Eerie. I have since eaten there and entertained the thought of staying overnight. Simply havent got around to it though. Food is good fare. Go for breakfast but make sure you make it before the brunch menu hits. A bit more limiting.“

“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!“

“dog friendly inside and out. great selection of beer and hot sauces. reasonably priced and a great staff and atmosphere“

“Chill atmosphere and tasty food and beer“

“This gem, hidden in the heart of Portland is great !!! It's like a small town tavern where everybody knows your name.

The Hostess / Bartender / Waitress Lady greeted us warmly🥰, cleared a table, and made some excellent meal, drink, and appetizer suggestions. We both ordered the "Dungeon Burger"; my friend had the soup side and I chose the fries. I had an excellent sweet-tart Moscato blend to sip with my meal and my friend chose a soft drink.

While we waited, the music ambience was excellent rock music loud enough to give us privacy in our conversation while not being loud enough to hinder our conversation.

Our food arrived... WOW, the fries were fries, but the Dungeon burger was a most excellent flavorful experience. The usual toppings were good, but the burger patties were cooked to perfection !!! The flavor was terrific with pink in the middle, just as I love it. It was a culinary delight bursting with flavor, moist and juicy. I found it juicy and messy (if it's not messy, it isn't awesome) and incredibly delicious. I WILL return !!! I can easily recall the
flavor to this minute.

For a late evening meal, I highly recommend this McMenamins !!!“

“Always the best variety of beer, both on tap and in the fridge. This is the spot for the beer enthusiast in this part of Portland. And they are open every day, including Christmas!“

“Great place. Lots of good beer options and places to sit. Enjoyed the panini as well!“

“McMenamins runs a tight ship, and sometimes that ship can be too tight. I get that, but personally, I’ve never had any issues. You have a be a “bit” better behaved than a lot of other bars, which can suck but like whatever, free pool.“
