20 Best Gastropubs in Portland

“Nice local flare. Away from the city. Excellent food and service.“

“Cool atmosphere. Great food. The staff are wonderful“

“It had been a few years since I been there, and it was the same...great beers and delicious food. Also, going in the summer is the best, love the outdoor space.“

“During our recent trip, my husband and I decided to check out a local restaurant that came highly recommended. From the moment we walked in, Randy at the bar set the tone for a memorable evening. He greeted us with a warm smile and genuine hospitality that immediately made us feel at home, even though we were visiting from out of town.From the appetizers to the main courses, everything was perfectly prepared and full of flavor. The friendly, personalized service Randy provided made this dinner stand out from the rest of our trip. We left not only feeling satisfied with a fantastic meal but also grateful for the warm, welcoming experience he created for us.“

“We stopped here on a Friday for lunch. Cozy interior with a German pub vibe. Big selection of German beers on tap and in the bottle. We got a Rueben and shared. Delicious! Love they used sliced chunks of pastrami vs deli meat pastrami. The clams had a great garlic flavor.“

“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.“

“Gluten-free beer and a very nice atmosphere where you can hear each other speak, with nice music. Michaela was the most hospitable and patient bartender I’ve ever encountered. Give her a raise and a bonus for helping create a delightful and warm atmosphere that people will want to keep coming back to, especially on cold, rainy Portland nights.“

“The beer menu is extensive and full of lots of amazing local options.

Everything on the food menu is good but, in my opinion, they have some of the best smash burgers in the city. If you're a fan of that style I definitely recommend trying one.

Even though they're not necessarily known for their cocktails, they always have a few really unique and fun options in that department too, also often using local products.

Kid-friendliness: Kid friendly until a certain time of evening.

I wouldn't bring tiny kids there but my tweens/teens love it. They love taking card games in the afternoons to play while we get drinks and snacks.“

“My husband and I stopped in yesterday and absolutely loved this spot! The service was fantastic and the outdoor space was relaxing with ample seating. We live in SW Portland and go to The sister bar (The Gibson) and we love it there. We shared a savory hand pie and French fries both were super tasty and well priced!“

“Chill atmosphere and tasty food and beer“

“It took forever to get food on a Thursday night with about 4 other tables and 1 guy at the bar. The food was really good and the service was excellent. While waiting our drinks were steadily refilled and the staff made sure we were happy with our meal once it arrived. The restaurant has a really nice vibe and tons of outdoor seating for these gorgeous Summer evenings.“

“I love this place- people are so nice,and there's just a relaxed atmosphere. I don't go to bars much,however I look forward to going to this place. There's an outside terrace party area with heaters...Just love it!!!

Parking: Parking is on street- not hard to find a place...but you'll have to use side streets...but I've never had any problems!“

“Cute little place in a strip mall—that in mind I didn’t have super high hopes to be honest but this place is a gem! The food menu is thoughtful and innovative, the drinks are solid, and the staff are so charming and helpful. Will definitely be back.“

“We went and had fun on Tuesday trivia night. Recommend it, was quite fun.“

“The food came out and looked amazing but unfortunately we had dinner before we came. I had the Moscow Mule,, they actually purée the ginger. I ordered a late night Spanish coffee so both cocktails were some of the best we’ve ever had. My hubby had a black and tan and tried both of mine. We definitely both agree is one of the best places to come for good cocktails, good food and staff. We are both raised in PDX & we’ve been just about everywhere; we would 100% recommend it. We had the bartender name Natasha,

Thanks!“

“The staff is great and all of the upgrades look awesome. My favorite time to go to Silver Birch is during football. They have all of the games playing.“

“We booked Produce Row for our wedding ceremony and couldn't be happier with the experience. With around 70 guests, the venue provided ample space and a layout that flowed perfectly with our wedding schedule. Our guests raved about the food, saying it was the best they’ve ever had at a wedding. We also had a guest with gluten allergies who felt well accommodated and was thrilled with the GF beer option.

The staff at Produce Row were exceptional, going above and beyond to make our day special, even accommodating our family’s early afternoon decoration setup. Their organization and coordination ensured everything went smoothly. Communication during the planning process was always prompt and clear. The bartender also received high praise from our guests.

Produce Row is a beautiful venue, and while we added some personal touches with our own decorations, the space was already stunning on its own. We couldn’t recommend it more highly.“
