25 Best Brewpubs near West Linn

“We live 3/4 across the country in Indiana but every time we come to town we always visit the Ale & Cider House. The lady who owns the place and always seems to take care of us and is always very friendly. As for the beers and ciders they are the best we’ve had. Loved the ciders before they filtered them but still taste just as good but without the “look”.😉 A true gem that you must try next time you are in the quaint little town of West Linn. Thanks for the awesome drinks and hospitality!!“

“Soo Great! Seriously! The Service:Superb! My Burger: Hot and Delicious! The Beauty of the Room: Gorgeous. I wish there were More Stars to Give. Loved it all. Annie ran the whole room with precision and a Beautiful Smile! Not an easy job to do. I know, I've done it. Thank you!“

“We figured this was a must go to cider taproom for the Portland area. We’ve seen their ciders in liquor stores all over the country and by the name I would assume it’s the flagship of the city. The taproom did not disappoint. They had a large selection of their own ciders and a few guests cider and beers as well as a couple cider cocktails. We got a flight and tried a couple of their cider cocktails, all of which were delicious. My girlfriend got a seasonal pumpkin chai spice cocktail that came with a souvenir glass, which was awesome since we love collecting glasses from our favorite taprooms. We got the pretzel and cider cheese, which was delicious. It was our second favorite “beer” cheese (behind 19 Acres’s cider cheese). The service was a bit iffy though, there were 3 employees. One of which did a good job all around interacting with guests and serving good drinks, one was a guy that seemed to be in training so was a bit timid to go out on his own, and one was a larger female that was absolutely terrible. She would greet and setup every single table, then never come back. We watched as every single group waited 10+ minutes for her to come back, but she never did. She spent the entire time talking to two regulars at the bar and giving them what seemed like a dozen free tasters. Overall though, this is an awesome place that I’ll definitely go back to… I just hope that bartender isn’t there.“

“This place is engraved in my mind from a random snowstorm that struck about 8 years ago. In a nutshell, my friend and I got stuck at McMenamins from a snowstorm then ate and drank like royalty. Their food is delicious and their brews top it off for the ultimate experience. So next time there's a snowstorm, drop by John Barleycorns.“

“Great food and atmosphere! Wonderful staff!“

“Undoubtedly the best oysters I’ve had better than any seafood restaurant Who ever gave them a bad review should try ahain“

“Friendly, kind bartender, delicious cider (Bauman's never misses), lots of beer and non-alcoholic options, and NO GLUTEN. What else could anyone ask for from a gluten-free brewery? Thank you!

PLEASE read the owner's responses to bad reviews, delightful“

“Great local taproom. They play great music on a double record player, and great live music on the weekends. The cider in particular is very good. The food is hot or miss, the pizza is great if a little pricey, the apps and sandwiches are getting better.

Wheelchair accessibility: Not easily accessed by wheelchair that I could see. At least one or 2 steps at every entrance.“

“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.“

“Stopped for a brew. Had the watermelon hibiscus which was yummie. Fresh crisp and tastes of summer. Refreshingly light.
Hubby had the Kolsch. Good stuff. Then a pale ale.
Multiple food vendors. Thai, Venezuelan, Mexican, Indian, Cuban. Had the chicken saag and tacos. Fresh and tasty.“

“Only just discovered this location (new to the neighborhood), so only been a few times so far. Each time we've tried something new and have not been disappointed yet. The food has been made fresh and hot every time. Menu is small but has a good variety. Beers have been great. Service has been wonderful every time. Looking forward to becoming a regular.“

“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.“

“Loved our visit to pFriem last night. The atmosphere was lively even on a Wednesday night but not too loud. The beer was great, I especially liked the passionfruit hazy. The food was one of the best I've had at a Portland area brewery. We enjoyed the apple bleu cheese salad, the wings and the brat plate. So nice finding a brewery with an in house kitchen that serves more variety than sandwiches or pizza. We will definitely be back.“

“Great beers and I think they just set the bar for chicken wings. This is going to be one of our destination spots.“

“We almost didn’t come here because of other reviews we read, but we had a fantastic experience. The waitress, Aleah, was attentive, gave good recommendations, and very nice to chat with. The food came out very quickly and tasted delicious- no complaints whatsoever. Good music, nice atmosphere, we will definitely come here again!“

“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!“

“Look up professional bartender, coupled with grace, class and Wikipedia and you’ll see JoJo’s picture. What a class guy! Knowledgeable of all the cool places that McM has as well as places around Portland.

Great food and Great experiences.“

“I saw a review on crypto investment that changed my story for good. I never believed it at first but after much convincing by my account manager in the person of Mrs Craig Vanessa I decided to give it a trial with just $5,000 even though there was a lower cost of investment. Starting with this, I made a profit of $35,500 in the first week. I am sharing this here for those that may have an interest. Mrs. Craig Vanessa is genuine and her style of trade is unique. Completely top-notch and different from the rest. Contact her today and you will not regret it. Send her a DM on WhatsApp via the number on her Facebook: Mrs Craig Vanessa“

“This is our local pub and the default place to grab drinks and dinner after a long week. There's always a great selection of local beers on draft, and the seasonal cocktails are a favorite. I often order the Blue Bayou salad, the Portland dip sandwich, or the Captain Neon burger, always with tots. Sadly the Scooby Snacks are no longer available here, so we'll occasionally travel to McMenamins locations further afield for those.
The staff are always friendly and helpful. If I have one criticism, it's that they often seem understaffed here, with one server to wait all the tables and tend bar. But ultimately it doesn't matter, I'll be going here until I die.“

“Great experience. Huge menu of drinks and grub. Will return.“

“Hands down Shane, Nicole , Sadie, Miles and the rest of the crew are absolutely some of the best humans I’ve had the pleasure of interacting with. I’ve been coming to Portland my entire life but most recently in a professional capacity since August of 2025, these guys and gals have alway gone above and beyond my expectations no matter the amount of bodies in the establishment. If you are every in the area do yourself a favor stop by eat, drink, and be merry.“

“This is a pretty neat and family friendly place to go for some wood fired pizzas. It's located in the central eastside near OMSI. You can enjoy your meal in a restored train car. We ordered a few pizzas to share - pepperoni, pineapple express, and wood-fired mushroom. We also had a pepperoni garlic cheese bread with Caesar salad as well as some wood fired hazelnuts. The pizzas were well made with the crust having the right amount of chewiness to it. The mushroom pizza was my favorite of the three. The only bad part is that when we wanted more pizzas, the staff told us that they ran out of pizzas, which was a bummer.“

“Just stopped into South Portlands new(ish) hotspot, The Last Stop PDX. Love the tap selection and cocktail list. Formerly Growler Guys I believe, the same owner transformed the old taproom into a chic new bar with great aesthetic. Can't wait to come back again!“

“We had the Charcuterie. It was good. They had friendly staff, good selection of beer at a fair price, and the facility was big and roomy including the outside seating. We will probably be back to try the pizza. The pizzas seem kind of small for the price they are charging.“

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