ARBOR BEER LODGE & BREWERY

Love the bartenders. Great local bar. Fun atmosphere.

Good beer and a variety of good food!

Local tap room and brewery with a robust food cart pod. Well behaved dogs allowed and a good mix of events including trivia, music, and comedy. This place is one of my local favorites!

Delicious food carts and nice patio space. The house brews are amazing as well!

I recently stumbled upon this place, and let’s just say—I’m still trying to figure out what it *wants* to be when it grows up. Honestly, I think the owners might be wondering the same thing.

From what I’ve heard, the brewery has changed hands a few times. Back in the day (as shown in the old photos), it had a charming front patio—perfect for sipping a cold one and pretending you’re not checking work emails. Fast forward to today, and that patio has vanished, replaced by three food carts that have taken over like a culinary game of Risk.

The inside? Still pretty consistent. But here’s where things get weird. I love a good brewery, but this one feels like it’s slowly ghosting its own beer. The tap list is short, and the beers are... well, let’s call them “personality beers.” I was told they kept a bunch of the old recipes, but I’m starting to think they might be locked in a vault somewhere next to the lost city of Atlantis.

When I first visited, there was one food cart and still some outdoor seating. A month later—boom!—another cart appears, and the patio disappears like a magician’s assistant. Another month, another cart. Now we’ve got three in front, two in the back, and I’m half-expecting one to pop up in the restroom.

And the signage? Let’s just say if you were hoping for a big “Hey, we’re a brewery!” sign, you’ll be sorely disappointed. You might drive by and think it’s a trendy food truck depot with a suspiciously good beer fridge. Which, to be fair, they *do* have—a solid selection of their beers you can grab and enjoy on-site. So, points for that.

The staff? Awesome. Super friendly and helpful. But I can’t help feeling like this neighborhood didn’t exactly need another food cart court. Still, I get it—rent’s not going to pay itself. If leasing space to food trucks keeps the lights on and the beer fridge stocked, then hey, hustle on, my friend.

I haven't been there yet but I'm moving to the St John's area soon. It would be nice if you had a beer menu on this page.

Great local spot for a huge selection of beer, family friendly eating and some cool events including live music and trivia nights. Wide selection of food from the food carts outside and they even have a disc golf putting league on Tuesdays!

Cool neighborhood space with cold drinks and good vibes. This place is always playing good music, offers fun events and has awesome food carts.

Great neighborhood spot! Tasty beverages, awesome patio, old school video games, fun event selection, and now 5 🤯 awesome food carts. Very kid friendly too!

Had the Awesome Amber. Great beer chill environment

Really enjoyed this place. Good music, good beer selection and the back patio with food trucks is really cool.

Called ahead, was told the brewery was open until 10. Showed up at 9pm. Closed already. Would have been nice to have been told they were going to close early that day. Listed hours are 4:30pm to 10pm.

Edit: Appreciate the response. Definitely another chance coming. FWIW while I was sitting there another car pulled in, waited a minute, then left. So it could have been the *3* of us.

Reliable beers and food cart options in a cool, modern building. Friendly staff are helpful guiding first time visitors.

Cool space, helpful bartender, good drinks

Great beer, fun trivia night and sweet patio. My favorite brewery in North Portland!
