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.“

“Absolutely amazing tap list!“

“Best beer in town, Pineapple Express.“

“Incredibly nice staff, and the variety on the menu cannot be beat!“

“Such a beautiful experience dining here. The atmosphere was incredibly cozy and welcoming, the kind of place you instantly feel comfortable settling into. Every dish was outstanding, thoughtful, flavorful, and clearly made with so much care. What truly elevated the evening was the team. Everyone was warm, attentive, and genuinely lovely, creating an experience that felt both special and effortless. Already looking forward to coming back.“

“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!“

“Cool tap house with 32 options!“

“Great foods and great waitress!“

“I love the staff and feel of Tomorrow's Verse. It is relaxing in a sweet neighborhood. Food is fine, not so great for GFers. The great thing is you can bring food in from restaurants in the area if you want something different. TJ the owner, is just friendly enough with some East Coast flair. Always a good time at TV! Xoxo“

“We live 3/4 across the country in Indiana but every time we come to town we always visit the Ale & Cider House. The lady who owns the place and always seems to take care of us and is always very friendly. As for the beers and ciders they are the best we’ve had. Loved the ciders before they filtered them but still taste just as good but without the “look”.😉 A true gem that you must try next time you are in the quaint little town of West Linn. Thanks for the awesome drinks and hospitality!!“

“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!“

“A genuinely excellent restaurant that gets the details right. The food was fresh, generous, and absolutely delicious. The staff made us feel welcome and well looked after throughout. Everything we ordered was cooked to perfection. Our server's recommendations were spot on. Everything was spotless and thoughtfully laid out. The value for the quality and care was outstanding. The consistency is remarkable, and that reliability keeps us coming back. The portions were generous and the quality was outstanding. The service was warm, attentive, and genuinely friendly. The atmosphere added so much to the overall experience. Highly recommend to anyone in the area.“

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

My daughter lives in Portland and I was visiting from Royersford, Pa We had such a great time and everyone was kind and friendly. Such an intimate place to go. Thank you for your hospitality. I will be sure to stop in again at the next visit. "GO BIRDS"“

“We met some friends for dinner after not seeing them for some time. Kasia was our waitress. She was a delight. We stayed longer than normal, catching up with friends. She did a great job never saying its time for you to leave. Didn't interupt our dinner, just kept everything coming like it should“

“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!!“

“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.“

“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“

“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!“

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

“Awesome location with an owner that works the bar and loves the hustle. Would highly recommend for atmosphere and a strong draft selection. The man knows his power tools too, but fair warning, he’s a Milwaukee guy“

“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.“

“I recently hosted a holiday happy hour for 40 people and had such a great experience! I booked the upstairs area which was very nicely decorated and super versatile. Cynthia and Christina made the whole event a breeze. I will definitely be going back for future events. Thanks so much!“

“Great food options, drinks and atmosphere. I love the fire pits and having so many vegan options.“

“I visited here alone for my birthday, and the experience was wonderful. The staff were so kind and welcoming—they even surprised me with free French fries! It made me feel less lonely and was honestly one of the best gifts I received for my birthday.
Regarding the food, I ordered the Half and Half (Soy Garlic & King Spicy), and both were top-notch. I also tried the new Cheese Wings, which were perfectly savory and crunchy.
I’ll definitely be back for the food, the service, and the genuine kindness I felt here 🤍“

“Amazing experience! The owner is incredibly kind, the food was delicious. Some of the best Indian food I’ve had in Portland 👏🏼 the pakora and samosa were just amazing. Will be going back very soon to try the lamb, as recommended by the owner :)“

“I stopped in there briefly during sandwich week to try out their 10$ sandwich they were promoting “its good to be king sandwich”

The chicken patty has good crispy batter, it seemed to be a ground chicken patty, it had good flavor, with a nice balance of spice as well as balance of chicken, bread, & veg (Arugula, red onion, aioli, tomato ) so it’s not too heavy of a meal.
It was a good sandwich. Nothing to write home about, definitely better than some ive had and paid more for though. Service was good too.“

“Super nice staff. Good food Plenty of beers Dig!“

“Great pizza! Fantastic owners and staff. Fun atmosphere.“

“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.“

“Love our neighbors down the street at Coffee Beer! Always a friendly vibe, and their menu is great!
The matcha is a favorite!
Their entire menu is vegan, and they have so many varieties of beer that you can try out!
Fun photo booth inside for folks to make great memories!“

“First time dining at this delicious restaurant, and it certainly won’t be our last! The food was fantastic, and Elizabeth was incredibly kind and attentive, making sure we felt welcomed and well taken care of throughout our visit. We truly appreciated her warm hospitality and can’t wait to come back!“

“Local dive bar. bar food. nice staff.“

“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!“

“Great spot to catch a game or just have a few quality poured beers. Staff is super nice and accommodating. Grab some wings from Fire on the Mountain across the street and wash them down. Very interesting people watching on the patio as the MAX stop is on the same block.“

“I had a great time. The bartender was absolutely amazing. He was very welcoming and happy to fry up some food for me, even though it was pretty late on a Friday night. The place seemed to have a tight-knit community vibe, which was really fun to see and interact with. I'll definitely try to come here more often when 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!!!!!!“

“My husband and I go to iL Terrazzo every time we come to Portland (from Coos Bay), even had his 75th birthday party there. Manager Kyle and Assistant Manager Jessica, their chef and wait staff make each dining experience exceptional. The unique menu offers scrumptious food. You will never be sorry you ate here. Tell them Ida Jo and Rick sent you.“

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

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

“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.“

“Excellent beer selection (some you can't find anywhere else) in a very chill bierstube near old Washington High School!“
