50 Best Beer Bars near Milwaukie

“Great food and atmosphere! Wonderful staff!“

“Love the new look (I hadn’t been in since 2022–it was much smaller), I have stopped in twice in the last week. Awesome experience both times, everyone is super friendly. Perfect spot to work, chill, date. Etc. I will definitely be back.“

“Alpenrausch is a charming gem, perfect for a cozy evening. Their fondue is simply exquisite—rich, creamy, and indulgent, served with the tastiest accompaniments. It's a must-try for anyone seeking an authentic Alpine dining experience.“

“So excited to have this new bottle shop in the Brooklyn neighborhood! Dan and Scott are great and looking forward to many more nights of fun at this establishment. Good selection on tap and in the cases. Check them out when in the area!“

“Absolutely amazing tap list!“

“Love love LOVE the Traveling Taphouse/Yard Bar!!! It’s the perfect place to go on a hot summer night. There’s games, open spaces, great beer, and the staff is really fun! Lulu’s Kitchen is attached and serves amazing Mexican food. This place is the best!!!“

“Best beer in town, Pineapple Express.“

“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!“

“My toddler, his daddy and I visited this establishment today and it was delicious. The staff were friendly and I thoroughly enjoyed how sweet and patient the staff were with my on the spectrum toddler who thinks he is an imaginary cat. I absolutely loved the art work on the walls.“

“Great foods and great waitress!“

“We love coming here to hang out with music lovers like us. If you're a Phish fan, they play all the streams. TJ and all his bartenders are wonderful.

I've also come here for drink and draw nights. It's a great neighborhood venue.“

“Hands down one of the best sandwich places I’ve had. Fully appreciate the variety of the vegetarian friendly sandwiches. Got the Fresh Prince, which doesn’t come with cheese and I debated adding it, but i didn’t and I didn’t miss it! The flavors are so well balanced and delicious, the sour dough was just awesome. Everything together was phenomenal, and I immediately wanted more.“

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

“I tired them on a hunt on door dash to try something new! so glad I did! I've had the doner wrap, fries, an pita strips w/ hummus! I absolutely LOVE everything. I'd recommend this place to anyone. I can only imagine how good it is ordering in. try it! you'll love it.“

“Lovely spot, lovely food, lovely people.“

“This place has some of the best Indian food in all of Portland. There’s good reason why this place is so highly rated. The flavor is beyond amazing- the tandoori chicken is some of the best I’ve ever had in my life and it’s not an exaggeration. The portions and prices are so fair too. The staff are nice and very helpful. Happened to order from here on chance and am so glad- definitely will be a regular here!“

“Such a fun, welcoming little bar! The food is absolutely delicious, the cocktails are lovingly crafted, and the HUGE game selection makes this place the best hidden gem on Main Street. Head up the stairs next to Versus and check it out for yourself!“

“Super good beer!! Super chill environment. Great outdoor patio. Awesome music. Amazing staff. Conveniently located just off of 3rd street. They also currently have a rad food truck parked out front! Why isn't everyone hanging out down here?!?!“

“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!“

“Love spending time at the park! Bring your friendly pup and work through the extensive and delicious rotating tap list!“

“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.“

“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!“

“Great food and drink at a reasonable price. Great people run the place.“

Dietary restrictions: Vegan spot!“

“Great people to work and drink with!“

“they know their beans and it shows when you ask a question, cant decide what you want, and take that first magical sip of your caffeinated elixir. my favorite is an iced dirty chai with either vanilla or cardamom syrup“

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

“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!!“

“John's Marketplace is my favourite place to go. Awesome beer selection, good food, and owned by some awesome people. I also appreciate that the Hall Blvd location has a dog friendly patio.“

“The beer selection was top-notch—tons of great options on tap and something for every taste. The real surprise, though, was the smash burger. Easily one of the best I’ve had—perfectly crispy edges, juicy, and full of flavor. Great vibes, friendly staff, and a place I’d definitely come back to. Highly recommend!“

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

“This food is wonderful! It does vary a little bit depending on whose cooking in the back but is always good. Their Mac and cheese combos are amazing! I don't eat Mac and Cheese EVER except for here now. It was a happy impulse one lunch time!“

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

“OMG! Their Burger Week burger is spectacular! Not a skinny smash burger thank god! Clipped from everout: A slice of pineapple fried in pancake batter, jalapeño's, pickles, cheddar Cheese, fried shoe string onions, bacon, beef patty with a raspberry chipotle BBQ Sauce on a toast brioche bun. So good! To me it's a perfect blend of sweet and spicy. Oh! And they have a killer shot and a beer special! Heaven! lol“

“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.“

“A good spot for a great selection of craft beer. We brought our own food, but there are several good looking food truck options to choose from.

Kid-friendliness: Outside picnic seating. Or inside the gap house. We had our small dog, and she was welcomed inside or out ?“

“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!“

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

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

“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!“

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

“Food is fabulous. Melissa is friendly and comfortable to talk with. The menu is small, but we always find something to order and enjoy. Best hidden gem in OC!“

“I didn't get her name, but this one girl I talked to was so sweet!! We talked about the weather in Portland vs California, and a bit about my visit to Japan and she said she'd give me a discount. Which she absolutely did NOT have to do. I just wasn't ready for that discount to be like.. the entire price. I only paid a dollar!?? But I still tipped anyways because this girl is amazing and would love to chat with her again the next time I come by.“

“It is so hard to find a sit down Mexican restaurant in Portland, Or with really good food that doesn't try to be weird.

I had an amazing margarita, chips and salsa, and taco salad with added steak. Everything was on point.“

“I came for one beer and left with three new friends, a minor existential crisis, and a T-shirt I don’t remember buying. Civic Taproom is like Cheers, if Cheers had 20+ rotating taps and everyone was slightly more hipster.

The bartender had the beard of a lumberjack and the pour skills of a Michelin-star sommelier. I asked for something “hoppy but emotionally supportive,” and he nailed it. The IPA hugged my soul while whispering, “You’re doing your best.”

Also, shoutout to the bathrooms for being cleaner than my apartment. 10/10 would hide from my responsibilities here again.“
