50 Best Pubs in Portland

“The Reubens were delicious, but the highlight was definitely the chocolate chip cookie. It may be the best cookie I've ever had from a restaurant!“

“Things to dig about the Record Pub: - Music for every type of listener. -Bar to sit down for a drink and think about what records you need to add to your arsenal. -Staff to talk about your selections with. -Educated suggestions for additional beats based upon the ensuing conversation of music you’ll have with the bartender. -Finishing another beverage all happy and giddy about the new vinyl you’re taking home.“

“Great place, and bartender was amazing.“

“Rose City Book Pub hosted us for a show and they were amazing. The staff worked SO hard to take care of us, especially since they weren’t expecting a huge group of wizard rockers to descend upon their establishment. What a cool venue, and so welcoming. Thank you thank you thank you!“

“The Big Bottom burger was very delicious 😋. The service was great and friendly.“

“You cannot say anything bad about please place, sorry. They are one of the best kept secrets in Portland.“

“Lucky Labrador is very friendly to board game players - the tables are large, the food and beverages are good, and there is plenty of room to play whatever your game.“

“dog friendly inside and out. great selection of beer and hot sauces. reasonably priced and a great staff and atmosphere“

“Great hh pizza! Crust is a Lil puffy a Lil crispy a Lil stretchy.
I had the papermaker pale. Wow! Well poured, gold colored beauty, tastes like a beer dream, lightly piney on top, then a smoothly carbonated descent to hopville.. brilliant!
They treat you right at the Rudder, so close to the Willamette it probably barely stayed dry in ancient days. But they dont get you muddy. Kick back be patient they will row out to you.
Tune into the vibe here. Becalmed.“

“There are a lot of hard working people keeping this a safe place to engage with others. Expect tea, coffee, drafts, and good company. 👍👍👍

The new porch is great to hang out on and the back porch is also nice and cozy. There is a library upstairs that has some great literature.“

“Watched the Germany World Cup match here, and even though the result didn’t go our way, the atmosphere was incredible from start to finish. It felt like being surrounded by passionate supporters, and everyone made it a great place to watch the game. The food was excellent, the beers were ice cold, and the service was great. I’ll definitely be back to catch Bayern Munich matches next season. Prost has earned a new regular!“

“are house in the middle of the street ... HOME“

“The hotel hits all the right notes right away, mixing a serene, spotless environment with warm, considerate service that brings instant peace to guests even before they unpack. The lobby gives ample room, impeccable hygiene, and a soft welcome, as staff breeze through check-in with smooth expertise and true friendliness that melts away any road weariness. This top-tier care continues straight into the rooms, where dependable comfort, profound silence, and exacting maintenance craft a space made for deep, revitalizing sleep that's as assured as it gets. At pricing that's fair and fitting for the caliber, it earns honest acclaim and a real desire to come back, leaving guests with just that vibe as they go.“

“Great people to work and drink with!“

“Chill atmosphere and tasty food and beer“

“Absolutely love Sellwood Saloon! This place is a gem in every way possible. The owners are fantastic - welcoming, friendly, and truly passionate about what they do. The bartenders are not only skilled at mixing drinks but also energetic and funny, making every visit a memorable experience. The atmosphere is simply fantastic - cozy and inviting, perfect for a night out with friends or a relaxing drink after work. If you're looking for a place with great vibes, top-notch service, and an all-around fantastic experience, Sellwood Saloon is the place to be. 5 stars all the way!“

“Great place to stay while in Portland. The free parking was great. We enjoyed the soaking pool as well. We stayed during a heatwave and the little AC unit really kept the room cool. We had the room service breakfast one day which was good if a little cumbersome. Went and sat in the Courtyard restaurant the next morning, waited ten minutes for a server and ended up leaving to go elsewhere. Hotel is neat if a little eerie at night.“

“Great addition to the South Waterfront.“

“It has the small town....but worldly feel.
Katie and Sammy are the best sirens of the night. If we just had the back smoke rack...with plants (that the regulars would take care of) growing all through the brick brack.... again, JS.“

“Close to home, inexpensive drinks, all the tvs have football, there's keno, 2 pool tables (free on sundays), and slot machines. The other day they let me watch spongebob at 3pm. Who could wish for anything more?!“

“This place is absolutely wonderful. I love it. The cheeseburger slider and the cajun tots are always tempting. Our absolute favorite location so far.

The drinks are also great and excellently crafted. The rotating seasonal food and drinks are always a plus and keep us coming back for more.“

“We came here to watch the World Cup and were very happy with our experience! We ordered a ton of food and not one item disappointed. We got fries, pretzel with mustard, Caesar salad, chicken Caesar salad, Mac n cheese, tofu Bahn mi with broth to dip, and a happy hour burger. All of it was delicious, as well as the drinks! I can’t wait to go back here“

“First Thursday every month, the venue showcases young artists. I am 68 years old and I came to see a 25 year old kid from my neighborhood. I had a blast. So much love and talent. I highly recommend for dates and for older folks that want to see the good in our young folks. I was treated like a queen and loved it.“

“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.“

“The poutine was just OK. They need to add pocked 9 ions and pickled jalapenos as standard and allow you to take them off if you don't like them. Also, the best poutine I have had has braised beef or pulled pork or some sort of meat to balance all the flavors.

The beer was very good. I tried their reserve stuff and their bourbon barrel aged beer and they were pretty good - all of them.“

“Everything is great except for one of the male bartenders.“

“Sadly I didn’t get any photos of our food… because I was blown away at the quality and service time!!! Absolutely the BEST kraut I have had!!! Never heard of a pastie before… and the corn beef was amazing!!!! Will def go again!!!“

“Good Vibes and staff is friendly.“

“The family went to watch Minions and Monsters and could not have watched at a better venue. St. John’s Theatre/Pub has a great atmosphere awesome decor, and great food as always. The theater was small, felt private and with the lighting and decor in the theater it have an extra level of excitement in watching the movie. We will definitely be going back in the future to watch movies“

“Portland’s oldest Irish Pub! Plus the best Irish Coffee I’ve had on this side of the pond. 5 outa 5!“

“Came down from Edmonton, Alberta for my friends wedding and had such a blast frequenting this place during my stay. People of Portland, I salute you. Great vibes all around the city, and especially this place! Ps. Sorry if I hit anyone with a pool ball or was too loud! Cheers ya'll..“

“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.“

“The vibes are awesome, I go there and hang out with friends, and the bartenders are such sweet and amazing people. One time, the bartender (I forgot his name, i feel so bad he's the best) noticed I was having a headache and brought me water without even thinking about it. It's a really nice area, and they let your dogs in :)“

“The Italian sub is the best I have ever eaten! Super friendly and great service. Thanks Theo for the friendly chat on your break. Great place Jeri and James!“

“amazindg anddwichs. Paul is an artisan!“

“The great FRIENDLY SERVING STAFF and above average food from the Kitchen Staff. ENJOY“

“Our first visit . . instantly charmed. We wanted to have a pre event drink or two before our corporate dinner up the street and are we ever glad we did. Very nice atmosphere and service, great beer of course and a very inviting looking back patio area. Also, really enjoyed the hanging plants and skylight. We definately plan to come back.“

“Just what the Doctor ordered. Great little neighborhood bar even if you aren't from the neighborhood.“

“A must visit for anyone visiting Portland! Watch a movie and get some great Mcmenamins snacks and drinks along with it. Then chill at the awesome restaurant and bar after to recap with friends, maybe walk a couple doors down to the other Mcmenamins spots while you're there too. Love it!“

“Met my significant other here. Also, mystical magical space with nighttime happy hour & cozy spaces. Now sort of feels like a pre-show bar for Al's Den.

*Not* accessible due to building age and entrance to this space.“

“The food was delicious!!!“

“We have lived within 2 blocks of Barlow for the last 14 years and had never been.

We went for dinner (were not big drinkers so have no reviews of those) and were impressed with the food!

Had the chicken sandwich, fries, tots, egg salad sandwich and Ceasar salad.

Ate outside very pleasant on a warm evening.“

“Good beer selection, nice people, good feel… great location.“

“The bartender Micheal made a mean Old Fashioned... best I've ever had! Thank you Micheal! BTW..I also bought one of the plants the owner sells.“

“Just discovered this awesome pub tonight. Cheddar chips and Shepherds Pie for the win! I’ll be going back soon.“

“Great hangout spot to meet with friends and play pool“

“Good place to go for playing pool. Alot of good players there late at night. 2 pool tables in nice condition. Expect a wait after midnight to play, sign your name on the board. Great group of people.Prices moderate. Not a very big place, so expect to bump elbows.“

“Great bartenders and owners. Good food, awesome drinks, excellent atmosphere. Love this place!“

“Flip the sign over when you leave, not the table.“
