“Highly recommended by locals and it didn’t disappoint. I enjoy sours and that’s what brought me here. The large selection of beers is fantastic! I enjoyed a flight of 5 different beers and the bartender gave me a taste of a seasonal one to boot. I was visiting from Alabama for the weekend and I am so glad I was directed to this brewery! The area had great shopping too. Cool local stores nearby.“
“Quick pit stop, but ordered the following: - Irish stout 16oz - Blueberry inferno 8oz - Bourbonic biscochito 8oz - Foccacia w ricotta We really enjoyed the stout! Some of the best stout we've had - not very high in ABV, but very tasty. Unfortunately, they only have growlers of this when we asked if they had cans. Blueberry inferno was indeed quite spicy. Def try a sample before committing to a whole glass. Personally, wouldn't get this as a solo drink, unless you're into a spicy, alcohol drink. However, it was worth trying and we split amongst the table. Bourbonic had notes of bourbon, not bad, but nothing too crazy either. Foccacia w ricotta was a perfect snack to line our tummies. Big enough to split between 2 people.“
“My favorite beer has come to Portland! The new taproom said dog friendly on the site but know that means patio. They still made it as nice as possible for us by building a fire and bringing water out for our pup. Great service, nice people, and delicious beer.“
“The food is expensive. The basic burger is very basic -- just meat, cheese, bread, and sauce -- for $16. Visited for Sandwich Week 2024 and their pulled pork was fantastic.The beers are usually solid contenders with other local Portland beers.“
“Audio note: Weird pounding upstairs. Good music, spacious dining area, unique taps, and good pizza. Food took a little longer because there was a meeting happening in a separate room. But worth the wait. Very good. Service was good. Server checked on us often. Made sure we were taken care of. Played vinyl records for music. Vinyl records are also for sale. Environment wasn't super loud. Bright and sunny inside. Parking can be a little tough but in a nice neighborhood. This all happened on a Friday afternoon.“
“Cute little spot to grab a cocktail mixed excellently by such a friendly bartender. Everyone here was welcoming and so nice. The food came out pretty quick and looked amazing. I got the ox tail cheese steak sandwich with fries. The only thing I wasn't a fan of was that the cost of the meal didn't include fries. It was 16 bucks and 3 dollars more for fries. Other than thati would go again and take advantage of the happy hour pricing from 4pm-6pm.“
“Great Notion has a fantastic line-up of beers. Period. Didn't count but there had to be at least 25 to choose from. Got flights, very excellent. The variety is really 2nd to none in Portland. I don't care for sours, but even the one I had was solid.The place is a hike or Uber if you don't have a car, but it's pretty big and seemed to be lively.Note: Staff was fine, but seemed like they knew they worked at one of the bigger name places in Portland. The place has lost a bit of it's "release day" popularity from years past, but not a bit of the snobbiness that went with that. Nice folks I am sure, just be a bit more welcoming.“
“Showed up late in the evening again, barely making last call. It was empty but had a good conversation with the only other customer and staff. Only had the Japanese lager in keeping with my final last days in Portland, no more hopps for awhile. They also had an MKIII in the corner I didn't get a chance to feed. Worth a trip if in the area“
“Really cool spot. AMAZING PIZZA!!! The beer was really good too and I loved the vibe. A great spot to chill alone with a book or to hang with friends. It to me is the ideal brewpub environment. I am difficult to please and this place checked all the boxes. I wish I lived closer.“
“Been here a couple times and I am consistently pleased with the service, value and quality. I’ve drank break side beers for a long time. Coming into their establishment it is so light and airy and welcoming. The staff is very friendly and the environment is lofty, airy and bright. Their beer fails to disappoint and each time I’ve come in the food is a perfect balance of pub food and class. Comfort dishes made with care. Their waffle fries are so nicely crisp on the outside with that smooth, mashed potato feel inside. The cubano was wonderful. Hard crust with soft, fall apart pork and crunchy house pickles with chipotle mayo for that subtle smoky heat. My partner ordered the beer and burger special and even a simple burger with a couple little add on was cooked well and seasoned properly. I could go on but I sure do enjoy coming here.“
“I don't go to this place often, but I do like it. And it's a great place to have a celebration as you can rent part of the bar. Food is a bit expensive. Stay away from the $12 salad. Beer prices and selection are reasonable. I would go back again.“
“Staff is always friendly. They have some pretty decent salads. I'm GF so the food selection is limited but the kale salad is solid, and have good ciders available. The bathroom next to the kitchen was amazingly warm and cozy when we went during the ice/snow storm. 10/10 would pee there again.“
“Just grabbing some suds with some industry colleagues was a great experience. I ordered a beer, and when the waitress saw that it had more bubblies than it should, she brought me a fresh one, no questions asked. Always refreshing to get to notch service!“
“Delicious meal of the day. It was some kind of fish which I truly enjoyed. I have a well traveled palette so I asked for some extra garlic butter and lemons to add to my fish just in case. But I was pleasantly surprised at how perfectly seasoned the dish was. Well done Backwoods! I have attached before and after pics of my plate to show how much I enjoyed the meal.However, I was disturbed by how liberally the staff sprayed the table adjacent to us with a Peroxide solution, and then wiped it down with a cloth. This happened just after our meals were served. It happened again while we had our drinks after the second group left the same table. I worry that the spray's microparticules will travel to meals and drinks nearby and as a result we are subconsciously ingesting a cleaning agent!! I suggest that you spray the solution on a cloth away from food and drink, and then just wipe the table with the cloth. I would otherwise have given Backwoods 5 stars....“
“Joanna was a great hostess and the food was excellent! ~ 35 minute wait for 6 at prime time on a Saturday didn’t feel bad. Convenient parking… good selection of gluten free options too.Dietary restrictions: Good variety of GF and Vegan optionsParking: Convenient parking garage across the street.Kid-friendliness: Kids welcome!“
“I'm not a beer drinker... so I skipped this place for way too long.... Don't make the same mistake I made. The pizzas are a-maz-ing! Great interior with plenty of outside seating on these perfect summer/autumn days. We've always enjoyed good service .... Friendly staff.... Great location in MLK (for us anyway!)“
“Cool little warehouse location with his staff that is super friendly and helpful. Street parking is available. There's a fire pit outside which is cool.We came for some food after checking out Hopscotch. I ordered up the chicken sandwich which came with fries. My friend had the BLTA with fries. Both orders came out quickly, and the fries were perfectly crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Yum! My chicken sandwich came on a nice soft bun with garlic aïoli, bacon, tomato, onion and was absolutely delicious. Love the high ceilings in the warehouse feel. Lots of space and there's games to play if you like. Keep up the good work we'll be back!“
“Steeplejack Brewery offers an exceptional experience for beer enthusiasts. The brewery boasts a diverse and satisfying range of brews that cater to various palates, ensuring there's something for everyone. The bar sampler plate exceeded expectations, offering a delightful array of flavors that complemented the beers perfectly. The staff were warm, welcoming, and knowledgeable, adding to the overall pleasant atmosphere. The venue itself, housed in what appears to be an old church, adds a unique and charming ambiance to the experience. Overall, Steeplejack Brewery delivers not only great beer but also excellent service and an unforgettable setting, making it a must-visit destination for any beer lover.“
“4 stars for the beer. Family member said beer was pretty dang good and it’s impressive what they’ve done and how they’re 100% gluten free. Although I wish it was clear on their website that this is a “limited service restaurant” (I.e. order from your phone at the table and very limited contact with staff other than them bringing your food to you). I understand if they do not have the means to be a full-service restaurant but just wish it was clearly stated on their website. A Gastropub is supposed to be a full-service restaurant. As someone with celiac disease, I rarely get to go out to dinner and was looking forward to eating at a full service restaurant (not a 5 star fancy place necessarily but at least just given the service that usually comes with food priced as high as it is) We drove from Vancouver, Wa and were a little bummed. Beer was great though ?“
“A favorite spot in Portland! Delicious beer selection, with flights available. Cans to-go and the can art is one-of-a-kind. Having Cache Cache in the back and all the amazing food carts right outside at Lil America is so great. You can take any of the food into the bar or any of the drinks out to the patio area. Plus, dog friendly! They're always having fun events like pop-ups, themed drinks, and big parties outside. Staff is amazing and so friendly too.“
“The three bar backs Jonathan, Kevin and Savanah killed it both Monday and Tuesday night I came for food and brews. The brewery was super busy but never felt unattended. Highly recommend this place. If I’m back in the Portland area I will be back.“
“Another cozy and unique theater!This building is artwork. Everywhere you look there's something that catches the eye.There's a restaurant attached to it as well so you can get food delivered to you while you watch the movie if you didn't grab any before hand. If you do this option you'll have to sit up stairs. It's fun though especially if you get the seats right at the edge. P.S. there is a restroom on this floor, if you are looking at the screen its on the right hand side.I love their popcorn, pretzels w/ cheese sauce and a pitcher of cider. They usually have three options to choose from.Every time I go, people are pleasant and it's a joy to talk to them.Side note: If you haven't been to McMenamins locations before all the ones I've been to are so much fun. So much detail goes into their spaces and it's always an adventure.I can't wait till next time.Cheers ?“
“Fun place for a pint and some pub food. The double smash burger went down a little too easily for me but it was really solid. Beer is always solid but I'd like another WC IPA option but that's just my preference. Pipe wrench has held up for years and still is special for me. My wife and I will be back.“
“This is a nice neighborhood pub.There is ample indoor and outdoor seating. There are two small couch seats near the bar.The staff was friendly and helpful. Bussing was a bit slow.There is a food truck on site if you want more than drinks.There is a friendly resident cat who has the run of the pub including the bar counter top.The pub is also dog friendly.There are gas fire pits to keep warm around at night.There are many alcohol drink and non-alcohol drink options.The pub is cozy and well maintained.“
“Excellent Coffee Tour. The gentleman that did the tour was extremely knowledgeable about all things coffee. It was easy to follow the things that he said and we were able to sample the Sumatra and Kenya blends. I Love That Mcmenamins makes the extra effort to make sure they are working with fair trade brands and no chemicals. Its so cool to learn about the ends and outs of roasting the beans and the formulas they have to follow. I had no idea all that went into making an awesome cup of coffee.“
“Really tasty pizza! I had the vegetarian with blue cheese, apple and hazelnut, and it was so so good. Took it over to Proper Pint next door to watch the Timbers game. Highly recommend ?Vegetarian options: Vegan optionsDietary restrictions: Vegan options“
“This place has been fantastic since they opened... super friendly service, great food, good atmosphereKid-friendliness: Kids eat free on Sundays?! Bonus! And, if they finish their meal, they can earn a sucker with a smile...2 if there's a high 5!“
“Staff is always friendly. They have some pretty decent salads. I'm GF so the food selection is limited but the kale salad is solid, and have good ciders available. The bathroom next to the kitchen was amazingly warm and cozy when we went during the ice/snow storm. 10/10 would pee there again.“
“Great staff!I drink very rarely and require very sweet drinks but wanted to try a cider and the servers suggestions were very accurate. She was lovely and loved my canadian-ness when I said "eh" ?Would definitely suggest others try this place if you're in the area!“
“It was pretty good, had this apple pie cider with the season being here and all. Nice ambiance, we sat outside by the fire table and were comfortable. Had these brussel sprouts and the tomato soup for a quick bite. Only reason I didn't give 5 star is because the staff was very monotone and not very welcoming when ordering but we got through it.“
“We had a group gathering here and it was great. The food was good and the alcohol fresh brews were really delicious.It was loud with three other gatherings going on inside in the main room, but that is to be expected! Parking was not super difficult and they do have an ada accessible entrance.I will be back!“
“Love it here! The location has so much space and plenty of seating options. We stopped in here unexpectedly after a night out and we were beyond amazed at the space. The beer is great, the service was amazing and ALL the food options were a plus. We will definitely be back soon.“
“We do a monthly board game group here. Great for groups, good food and beverage selection. Nice long picnic style tables with chairs and standard tables and chairs available. One of my favorite places.Vegetarian options: Plenty of vegetarian optionsDietary restrictions: gluten free optionsParking: generally have to park a block or two away.Kid-friendliness: Family Friendly restaurant and beer hall.Wheelchair accessibility: wheelchair accessible tables, order counter is tall, but certainly can order at the beginning of the counter if needed.“
“One of favorite breweries. A hidden jewel of the Portland beer scene. High quality beer in a wide variety of traditional styles and some innovations. Chill and friendly vibe. Dog friendly. Worth going off the beaten path to have a pint or two.“
