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

“Great beer and sours! Staff is awesome!“

“Incredible food. Limited, tapas esque options that are all spot on (tried the entire menu). Highly recommend the cauliflower. Cute place with a chill vibe, though a person I was with called it stuck up. Definitely screams cultured, but in my eyes that's a good thing. Friendly employees and pretty flavorful beer options as well.“

“Our first time here and the beer was good! The food ops are endless with all the food carts! The place was hopping for a Friday night and it is family and pet friendly. I couldn’t believe how many kids there were!“

“So happy to have this place in the neighborhood! Wonderful little spot that feels like your back yard. Nice food and drinks. Andrew is super cool and a great bartender! Would love to see what their event rental options would be for my local non profit theatre troupe.“

“Great beer (Golden Boot Pilsner, Petr Czech Dark Lager) friendly service good atmosphere“

“We hosted a private event at Commensal Fermentation & had an amazing time. The space is beautiful, Mike is great to communicate with, and we had a wonderful experience. IT IS SUCH A VIBE. Our guests loved it. Thank you to him & his crew for making the evening special!“

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

“Contactless equals lack of the human interaction.“

“This place is worth a stop! The beer, the weekend pizza and the atmosphere is great. Stuffed inside of a repurposed building, it looks like a manufacturing building on the outside.

Oh, did I mention the sandwiches during the weekdays. Those are pretty tasty too.

I'll come back once I try some food here and it's not good.“

“Good Vibes and staff is friendly.“

“Up and coming little nano brewery in the north side of town, no food served but Thai food truck right out front and home brew supply store next door. The location is a modern mix of industrial brewing equipment and hip tasting room decor with bar games, small patio area, etc. The staff and owners were really friendly, happily providing tastes and information about the establishment. Started with the Ginger Kid Vanilla Red Ale, a decent red, malty in flavor and medium body. Moved on to Gnome Bard Wit, which was a refreshingly nice and light beer for a hot day! Decent bite to it. Also tried the Tiny House Session, another good one, better than the previous in my opinion, more suited for a laid back beer to quench the thirst without getting too buzzed. Lastly, came the Common Cut, which I did not care for too much. All in all a great visit, being a fairly new brewery, I look forward to what they have in store next. With single barrel batches, they often introduce new taps so stay tuned! Check out their website, it will win you over pronto! Thanks guys, see ya again soon! Best, ~S“

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

“Shepherds pies was great, Corned beef and cabbage amazing… great beers and the bread pudding…. Delicious. Great atmosphere and the Bartender was friendly and took great care of us.“

“The pupusas are delicious the OG is my favorite“

“Such a cool vibe, and they share a space with a Mexican food place with some of the best birria tacos I've ever had. Only bummer is that they didn't have a single dark beer.... Just pilsners and ipas. It's such a badass place I would expect at least 1 awesome stout or a porter....and because the tacos are so good it would be rad if they had a Mexican lager as well.“

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

“Stopped by here for a few beers and pizza on Father's day. Good selection of different kinds of beers. The brewery staff was great and friendly. We enjoyed the beers here and a space was set aside for world cup viewing. We will definitely go back“

“Portland has so many enjoyable local breweries. Rosenstadt Brewery is in good company. We had the Fůnf Null Drei and Hefeweizen and a pretzel and the schnittlauchbrot. We enjoyed them immensely. Looking at the food menu, we are already planning to return.“

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

“Great remodel from when it was Modern Times Fermentorium…good beer selection, friendly service…great overall experience!“

“Love love love this place. One a street where there has been a lot on construction changes and old buildings being torn down, this place has taken advantage of square footage in a home. Both covered and not covered outside seating areas. In door has a great bar! Customer Service is amazing, even when its busy. The Beer, fantastic! I tried all of them on tap. Bathrooms are large. Food was amazing! I highly recommend.“

“😁what is the shelf life?“

“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!“

“F'n amazing people and amazing beer!“

“Absolutely fantastic! The chicken tacos were juicy, topped with the perfect amount of fresh pico, and the house-made tortillas took them to another level. We also tried the chicken sandwich with the new collaboration special, and it was incredible. We eat a lot of chicken sandwiches, and this one is now at the top of our list.

The beers were excellent as well, making for an all-around great meal. We’ll definitely be making Gorges Beer Co. a regular stop!“

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

“What's not to love about Mayfly?! Mayfly always has one of the best draft and bottle selections in the Portland area that always feels new every time I come in. Prices are excellent, staff and the owner are wonderful people, and there are plenty of great events to check out each week. Also a great selection of food vendors during the weekend. I live in Vancouver and bike here regularly because It's my favorite spot within miles.“

“Nice place to drink some fine gluten free beer, also the food that is made by a separate company in the establishment had some damn good chicken.

Also got a small view of the brewery.

The hostess was a amazing lady that have us some tips to view around the city.

10/10 would recommend comming here again.“

“Wow!! What an amazing meal! My family met some friends for dinner and were treated to some wonderful food. The service was great thanks to a wonderful host! We will be back for sure :)

Kid-friendliness: Great atmosphere for family, kids, and friendly dogs.“

“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.“

“Been coming to Occidental on/off since Spring 2015 and it's one of my favorite places to be.

Having a brew (or two!) and meandering to Cathedral Park, lounging on the docks beneath the iconic St. Johns Bridge?? Pure happy place.“

“Always a great brewery and a nice spot down town to pop in for a beer and a pretzel. IPAs are their Forte. I had the vienna lager which is great albeit a hoppy vienna. They just won 2 more medals at GABF this year so pop in for a pint or 3. They medaled on the breakside IPA so grab a pour.“

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

“Pet friendly, great 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.“

“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!“

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

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

“F'n amazing people and amazing beer!“

“The ambiance is impeccable! The theater is one of the most cozy and beautiful I’ve ever been to. The bar has so many things to admire! My only negative notes are that the “Cajun tots” are quite salty, and the Lemon Raspberry seltzer is not good. The gyro however was delicious! Will definitely come back in the future.“

“I attended SIM event there and I must tell you it was AWESOME, we had our party on the roof and the ambience was spectacular, the Bar Tender staff is just superb I had fantastic beers, martinis above all the friendliness and courtesy of the staff is just outstanding. lets talk about food, all the pizzas, wings, nachos were just delicious, well made, spot on. overall the whole experience was SPECTACULAR. I will visit again this time with my close friends and family and will definitely recommend to others.“

“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“

“What a great selection of beers!“

“Friendly staff and patrons, rotating outstanding beers. Also hundreds of different cans and bottles in the coolers for drinking on site or taking home.“

“Amazing service, great atmosphere, delicious food, and outstanding beer! Thank you, I will be back! #flygirl“

“I had their Moscow mule. perfect! and their pub burger. out of the world. home cooked quality with a very tasty juicy organic patty, exquisitely thin sliced cucumber, sauce to kill for and fresh lettuce (not ice berg). hit the spot. Fries were fresh and went well with the rest. the warm unpretentious informal welcoming ambience was so quintessential Portland and Oregon. I love this place. will recommend it to anyone who wants to reset ones humanity and sense of community.“
