50 Best Pubs near Lake Oswego

“The Dullahan is one of the most welcoming spots around. It has a cozy Irish pub feel, with warm wood interiors, a fireplace, an inviting bar, and great outdoor seating for nice weather. There’s also a fun downstairs area with games, shuffleboard, darts, and a TV.

They have a solid beer list, including Guinness on tap, plus a good selection of Scotch and Irish whiskey. The food covers the pub classics: Fish N’ Chips, Shepherd’s Pie, and Bangers & Mash - and the Bavarian Bangers and Brussels Sprouts are especially worth trying.

It’s a great place to meet friends or bring the family, whether you’re stopping in for a meal, drinks, or both.“

“Wonderful Santa Fe Chicken and Bean soup! Highly recommended.“

“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.“

“Friendly atmosphere food is always good service is prompt. Has a Cheers type feel.“

“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.“

“Great place, and bartender was amazing.“

“Toll, das auch! Oder? ？？“

“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!“

“OMG This place is da bomb! My wife, MIL and I ate there for the first time recently. At first I was a little concerned because my MIL wanted to order traditional Korean BBQ (which isn't what this place is about). However, after ordering and tasting the Nagasaki JJamppong, the Fried chicken (we got half soy, and half spicy), the kimchee fried rice and the Rose TTeokbokki, (plus the cucumber pickles) we were all blown away by how delicious everything was! The only possible downside is that I wish there were more tables. But then again if it was much larger maybe the chef wouldn't be able to spend as much time on each order so maybe it is perfect the way it is. I almost don't want to write this review because then I might have to wait longer the next time I go, but a great restaurant deserves to be acknowledged for what it is!“

“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! .“

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

“The hotel hits all the right notes right away, mixing a serene, spotless environment with warm, considerate service that brings instant peace to guests even before they unpack. The lobby gives ample room, impeccable hygiene, and a soft welcome, as staff breeze through check-in with smooth expertise and true friendliness that melts away any road weariness. This top-tier care continues straight into the rooms, where dependable comfort, profound silence, and exacting maintenance craft a space made for deep, revitalizing sleep that's as assured as it gets. At pricing that's fair and fitting for the caliber, it earns honest acclaim and a real desire to come back, leaving guests with just that vibe as they go.“

“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.“

“First Thursday every month, the venue showcases young artists. I am 68 years old and I came to see a 25 year old kid from my neighborhood. I had a blast. So much love and talent. I highly recommend for dates and for older folks that want to see the good in our young folks. I was treated like a queen and loved it.“

“I just had a really delicious bowl of (Boston style) clam chowder at Three Mermaids Public House in Tigard. It was so creamy, and comforting; and the small bits of bacon gave it over-the-top goodness. Honestly, all the food at this welcoming pub is worth trying, but I hadn’t expected to enjoy a bowl of soup as much as I did this one!“

“Came in for a tripel, and unfortunately their selection had shrunken a bit. Nonetheless, I had a tasty Gulden Drak, followed by a Chara's Yelliw Card margarita. Great vibes, awesome staff, and they were bumping Tribe Called Quest Midnight Marauder album.“

“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!“

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

“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?!“

“Came down from Edmonton, Alberta for my friends wedding and had such a blast frequenting this place during my stay. People of Portland, I salute you. Great vibes all around the city, and especially this place! Ps. Sorry if I hit anyone with a pool ball or was too loud! Cheers ya'll..“

“What a great selection of beers!“

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

“The vibes are awesome, I go there and hang out with friends, and the bartenders are such sweet and amazing people. One time, the bartender (I forgot his name, i feel so bad he's the best) noticed I was having a headache and brought me water without even thinking about it. It's a really nice area, and they let your dogs in :)“

“Fantastic service and great food. Try this place if you haven’t yet.“

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

“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.“

“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.“

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

“This place is absolutely wonderful. I love it. The cheeseburger slider and the cajun tots are always tempting. Our absolute favorite location so far.

The drinks are also great and excellently crafted. The rotating seasonal food and drinks are always a plus and keep us coming back for more.“

“A good bar to go and play video poker, enjoy some drinks play pool and overall have a great time by yourself or with friends and also a great place to make friends its also very conveniently close to where I live. I definitely would recommend this pub to anyone who is seeking a good time.“

“Great hh pizza! Crust is a Lil puffy a Lil crispy a Lil stretchy.
I had the papermaker pale. Wow! Well poured, gold colored beauty, tastes like a beer dream, lightly piney on top, then a smoothly carbonated descent to hopville.. brilliant!
They treat you right at the Rudder, so close to the Willamette it probably barely stayed dry in ancient days. But they dont get you muddy. Kick back be patient they will row out to you.
Tune into the vibe here. Becalmed.“

“Awesome spot! Superb selection of beers and cozy!

2026 UPDATE!!!🧐🐳💕

“great space, nice pool tables, awesome selection of fine drinks, great decor, awesome DJ and shows! plus, Giant Jenga!“

“Great addition to the South Waterfront.“

“Chill atmosphere and tasty food and beer“

“An amazing place - hotel, restaurant, movie theater and more. Cash and credit/debit card payments. Friendly staff.

Built in 1933 this used to be the Kennedy School. Shut down in the early 70's, it was rescued by activists and philanthropists and transformed into a hotel/restaurant/nightspot/movie theater 20 years later. I'm literally at a loss for words as to how to describe this gem of a property. You just have to see it for yourself.

Decor throughout pays homage to the history and the former use of the building as a school. Artwork spans multiple mediums and covers nearly every place you look. There's always something to examine closer and appreciate.

Movie theater has comfy recliner style chairs and love seats rather than traditional movie seating, and you can order food and have it delivered to you in the theater - as the movie is playing! How cool is that!??!?!

The restaurant offers breakfast, lunch, dinner and boasts a full bar along with beer, cider and wine. Eggs Benedict are delicious and the granola bowl is generous with all ingredients. Service is relaxed but attentive and service is quick. Definitely an experience you shouldn't miss!“

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

“Good Vibes and staff is friendly.“

“Great people to work and drink with!“

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

“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.“

“An absolute treasure of an establishment! The beer is cold and poured perfectly. Food is top notch and the service is attentive and friendly. Stop in and grab a pint, a bite and a solid conversation with a patron. I have a wonderful time, every time, and look forward to the next visit.“

“Portland’s oldest Irish Pub! Plus the best Irish Coffee I’ve had on this side of the pond. 5 outa 5!“
