It had a classic charming brewery vibe with a wide selection of beer and cocktails. We had the wings, fried pickles, nutty wedge salad, double double burger and fried buffalo chicken sandwich.

Several tables were full on a Friday at 1:30, which we took as a good sign! Shortly after we sat down, we were greeted by our waitress, who also seemed to be the bartender and the busser. There were a few dirty tables that stayed that way the entire time we were there, and I honestly think she was just overwhelmed trying to do everything herself. Service was okay, but she definitely seemed stretched pretty thin. We both ordered the Fiddy Fiddy Burger, and it was packed with flavor. The fries came out hot and crispy, which is exactly how fries should be. My only complaint really comes down to personal preference--I'm a smash burger girl and prefer a thinner patty. This was definitely a thicker burger than I normally go for, but all in all, it was an excellent burger. I would definitely come back if I was in the area again. Sometimes a random Yelp find turns out to be a good one!

It was a relatively slow Saturday and service was good…read more The location is great as downtown continues to grow with increasingly interesting food options. We got the whole pie #4, half sausage/half vegan pepperoni. Vegan pepperoni was... vegan... but outside of that everything else was unexpectedly great. It's not my mom's sheet pan pizza. All exterior surfaces were crispy, despite being thick the dough was airy, pizza was flavorful and spicy but offset by the ricotta. Their ranch sauce is also good but not necessary. I'd like to try the pepperoni next time, seems a bit overkill but I think I'll trust them after the last experience. 1/4 pie will fill someone up no doubt.

Well, Downtown Hillsboro has killed yet another pizza shop at this location…read more The first, Sizzle Pie, seemed like an anomaly, as parent company Sortis Holdings was going through tremendous upheaval and closing locations of many of its chains (Sizzle, See See's, Rudy's, etc.). But killing off Ranch--a chain that catered directly to this area's dumb love of ranch dressing on pizza and Abby's/Izzy's-style toppings overkill--suggests that Hillsboro culture may not be able to handle an actual, grown-up, big-city pizza shop. You cannot blame the presumed lack of foot traffic on Second Avenue for this. Now, with the exception of Pizzario--which makes the same small, wood-fired pizzas in the same space that its predecessor Earth Mother did, only with a focus on live music and cheap drinks--every pizza shop in Hillsboro is now located in a strip mall. Jersey Girl, the Schmizzas, Curry Pizza House, and Ranch's replacement, Society Pie: All in strip malls and all pretty much reliant on drive-up service or, with the exception of Schmizza's direct delivery, third-party apps. You also can't blame the culture of said pizza shop. Sizzle Pie was always going to be a tough fit here because of the metal soundtrack and kids behind the counter that the olds seemed fixated on hating, but Ranch basically was Hillsboro. It was $3-off happy hour specials, it video games for the kids (and Gen X/older Milennial parents), it was home delivery, it was classic rock. You can't even blame the location anymore. Grand Central bakery has now been there since the plaza opened and witnessed multiple pizza places come and go. While the first bar overlooking that plaza failed, the tapas place that took its spot has been going for more than a year and has been shockingly popular. No, it's just clear that good pizza isn't really Hillsboro's thing. When Ranch closed and Society Pie was announced as the replacement, there was some excitement about it being a suburban tenant, but there was also the reaction that the space was now playing down to its surrounding area. And that's a fair assessment. Both Sizzle Pie and Ranch came about because their founders wanted to make unique versions of existing pizza styles and managed to carve their own niches in New York- and Detroit-style pizzas. They produced combinations that challenged the customer and showed them new combinations of ingredients and flavors that are absent from the suburban pizza spectrum. Hillsboro rejected that wholeheartedly, despite a price tag that, per inch, was more of a bargain than Pizzario right down the street. Now it gets Society Pie which speaks to it in a language that the city understands. Ducks and Beavers, tech bro jokes (it's a picture of Ice-T because it's an iced tea fountain, get it?), local band posters and high school photos on the walls. And the pizza? Much like Jersey Girl or Pizzario, "good for a suburb." There's more effort than you'll see from a local chain, but maybe fewer beers, cocktails, and apps than your better Schmizza locations and nothing that will replace Lovely's, Baby Doll, Pizza Jerk, Red Sauce, Ken's, Apizza Scholls, Dimo's, Scottie's, or Escape From New York in your heart if you moved out here from Portland for work or what you presumed were better schools. There's a strong chance that Society Pie makes the third pizza place in this space the charm because it understands both what it isn't and what the neighborhood needs it to be. But if community spirit, slice specials, better signage, and dedicated delivery service still don't revive this pizza spot in the former bank drive-thru, then it isn't Portland or the pricing or the parking that are at fault--it's Hillsboro itself.

This is a great place to hang out, grab some nosh, have a drink, and spend time with your favorite…read morepeople. [Format & Space] Seat yourself*, review the menus at the table, order at the bar, they bring your food and drinks to your table. *Plenty of tables, some with long benches, others with chairs on the inside. There's also a large patio. This is a welcome and safe space. [Drinks] Right up front, I'm going to tell you I'm a lightweight. I'm allergic to alcohol, so I don't drink often. Here's one of the things I love about The 649. They have a fantastic selection of mocktails that are created with the same creativity, flair, and intention as a "leaded" cocktail. I appreciate that I get to participate and not be stuck with a lemonade, zero alcohol beer, or wine. So, HUZZAH for creating an inviting space for a non-drinker! There *are* times when I'm willing to risk the lobster-bod, itchiness, and stuffy nose and there are plenty of cocktails from which to choose! [Food] There's a nice selection of sharable plates and mains. I've personally tried the flatbread pizza, Bavarian pretzel, Cubano, and Brisket Press, all of which were delish. [Service] The service has always been fabulous. The staff are welcoming, friendly, and helpful. [Activities] There are a few TVs around the bar with sports. It was a great place to catch some of the World Cup games. Additionally, there are several games that you can borrow and play, which is a lot of fun. [Location] Tucked in a busy shopping center with Safeway as an anchor. Parking hasn't been super problematic yet, but based on one of the other reviewers (Ron R - loved your formatting too, so I borrowed it until we get rich text formatting or emojis!) I can see where it could be a challenge.

Because it's somewhat hidden in the corner of a Safeway shopping plaza. Look for the Baskin Robbins or Wells Fargo ATM and your find it. Like other reviews, when busy, parking can be a bit horrendous. But in hindsight, I'm not gonna reduce a star just because of location. * Bar Food Menu & Dining * Their menu starts with shareable bites, like a pretzel, tacos, quesadilla, loaded nachos, and even a charcuterie plate. Slightly larger dishes would be their Cubano and Brisket Press sandwiches. They even have a few choices for soup and salads, and a couple of dessert items listed. Don't forget to check the chalkboard next to the bar for specialty dishes and drinks. As for dining-in, they've got sturdy wooden tables that can accommodate 4-8 people. Bar stools by the windows, and a fairly large outside patio area. And with the times I've been here, I've never seen a dirty table. Very well maintained (two thumbs up). A few TV monitors showing the game, but its not like a noisy sportsbar. * Drinks & Services* You've got your choice of craft beers that rotate like a standard tap room. They also have tasty seasonal cocktails, but their normal everyday cocktails are just as good. And if you're gonna have a charcuterie board, then you've got to offer a wine list option right? Well they got that too! One last thing to mention, they've got some top-shelf bourbon and whiskey. The 649 is a bar that offers it all! Service has also been welcoming and top-notch. I recall only been served by Rich, Steven, and Crystal, but they always seem to craft up some lovely cocktails. Or deliver some clean tasting everyday type of bar food as well. * Last Call * Normally in my reviews, I'd list every item that I've tried, with price included. But The 649 is such a unique type of bar experience that I feel you should try for yourself; To me, their offerings are reasonably priced. Dining in is nothing fancy, but service is excellent. It's a great hangout for a business date, of even after a first date. I've got nothing but love for local support!

You order at the bar area but it could be crowded with long lines at certain times. Service was friendly and helpful with beer selections and food recommendation. We went either the Happy Hour deal and were very happy with our food. You get a buzzer for your food and you have to go around the back to get it out of a food trailer. This feels a little odd but feels like they streamlined this system on their end. Now for the food: the pizza was sooo good! The crust was crispy with a delicious cheese pull. I also really enjoyed my classic sandwich of ham and cheese. I thought the arugula salad really helped round out the flavor profile and added some freshness to the sandwich. My hubby liked his NW beer and I loved the Marionberry Lemon soda water as a nonalcoholic option. We would totally come back again and try the other pizza combinations and different beers next time!
