“Our running group, Eastwind run from here from time to time. When we end our run it’s time to drink and eat. Great beer and cider selection and they let you bring in food from local places around Gresham. Two thumbs up and a hip bump.“

“Dining in the dark was worth the experience but the food was disappointing.“

“So, I’ve been here a handful of times since during Covid, and I gotta say, they knock it out of the park every time. That chowder? Must have. I just had some last night. That was leftover from Sunday night, and microwaved. Still phenomenal.“

“Had the best time at their Halloween party last night. The band FooVana was so fun and great crowd! Food was decent and I’ve had better there in the past. Pizza’s are great here.“

“Had a great time at the Paint and Sip last night. I highly recommend the Nachos, it was delicious!“

“We came here on a Sunday in August and it was busy. Plain and simple. There was a concert going on, a movie playing, and the restaurant crew was getting crushed. It seemed like maybe the internet had gone down at some point? Anyway! It took longer than I assume it does to be greeted. But once we were, everything was great. The one thing that was so impressive to me, as someone who manages restaurants, is how calm, collected and straight up jovial the team was. We sat at the bar which looks right into server alley and the line, and everyone was being productive, positive, and kind to each other. Never saw a single person snap or seem put out to be getting crushed. It was super refreshing and much respect to the team. Our server/bartender Will was really nice, efficient, transparent about cook times and kept a good pace. Food was pretty good, standard pub food. I was mostly impressed with the team and their attitude. Vibes were good on a hot, busy day. Would come back just to support that.“

“Good food and service would go back any time…“

“The food is fresh, high quality, tastes good, plated very well. More like home cooked meal. Customer service is excellent. They take pride in this business.“

“Good food, great service!“

“Very nice variety of beer styles on tap. All local craft breweries, plus a few cinders, wine and craft root beer on tap. Great service, knowledgeable about beers, you can sit at the bar or one of many nearby tables. Very busy spot due to all the great food carts, parking can be an issue on the weekend.“

“Best Taproom and Panini shop in Gresham! If you want a fun, great place to have a cold beer, seltzer, cider,kombucha , panini or more plus great atmosphere and folks, give it a try and make up your own mind!! My wife and I love this place!!“

“Amazing food, excellent atmosphere, fantastic bloody Mary's!! Very clean and staff was very attentive, would definitely recommend.“

“Their Taco Tuesday is great and their homemade salsas are fantastic!“

“I have had lunch twice at JB's and both times it was delicious. Not crowded and spacious. Our bartender/waiter was super nice and polite and we got our food in a timely manner. Clean! I would maybe like the music at lunch to be a little quieter but at night it would be fine as is. just my preference. Recommend!“

“Local family owned watering hole with homemade eats from breakfast to lunch and dinner! Local craft beers on draft and friendly bartenders!“

“After chasing water falls all day we stopped in this little gem, the people were friendly and the workers were the best, they made us feel like family! Thank you for the great service and kindness!“

“Unpretentious large tavern with billiards and pinball. Good selection of both good local and cheap generic beer. I had wings, which were listed as an app: the full order was a big meal size at a very reasonable price with more carrots and celery than I have ever been served. Got Korean (gochujang but not very spicy) and Teriyaki which were both delicious. Waitstaff was friendly and helpful. Good times.“

“I highly recommend Grapes 'n Hops! The food is top notch, there's a crazy good drink selection, and you couldn't ask for nicer people!“

“good people and cold beer.“

“The Bartender man here in the little shed is amazing. My husband and I asked if we could start a fire in a gazebo so we could read our books in peace and quiet and he not only started a new fire for us away from everyone else in a separate gazebo. He brought over some more firewood for us and kept it burning without us even asking. Thanks again sir for the incredible service!“

“I've been coming here for a couple years, and every time I come into contact with Travis or Alex, the experience is wonderful. They both serve excellent drinks, and have a wonderful demeanor about them. Friendliest and most knowledgeable service I've experienced in downtown Gresham. If you get either of them as your bartender, you will not be disappointed!“
