Relaxing neighborhood pub/bottle shop with a ton of options, both on tap and in the bottle. As a tourist to Portland, I especially appreciated how many selections were local and new to me, and how it was possible to get smaller glasses of most beers. Also has a great cider and NA selection. Service was kind, prices were reasonable, and the food truck was satisfying with vegan options. Would definitely be there all the time if I lived nearby. read more

Belmont Station - Stout! - Beer Gardens Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Called a week in advance for an order of half keg of Coors banquet. I told him other distributors in the area, can't get it, but he told me he could and said I will call you if I cannot before it's ordered and let you know if I don't call then it will be here on Tuesday. I called around 12:30 and they told me orders aren't in call at two so I called a half hour later and they told me the orders are in and they said my order was there so we proceed to drive quite a distance to get there and of course they didn't get me what I ordered. They came out with a quarter keg that they already had in stock which we talked about and he said he had to order the half when I get there. No half Keg ,have a party today and now no keg,didn't even offer to help me all he could say was oh we ordered the wrong one and that's all he would do. I wouldn't go back to that place if you paid me. And every one at the party is very pissed off! I done my orders here a few years ago and got the wrong beer that time . One more thing,that place is so disgusting inside I really won't go back. read more

Fantastic selection but rude and crabby bartender. The elderly woman needs to find another job. Clearly she doesn't enjoy this one. Other bartenders were ok - just inattentive, not rude. If you're a regular you get quick service. I've been there 5+ times and still get largely ignored. Kinda over it. This is just for the bar side, not the bottle shop which is generally friendly and helpful. read more

As craft beer lovers, Belmont Station was at the tippity top of our list during our vacation in Portland. Our expectations were exceeded. Loved how incredibly charming this beer bar is, set in the most quintessential PNW neighborhood. Not only were the bartenders friendly, but fellow patrons were also welcoming. We really enjoyed getting to socialize while enjoying our beers. They have a fantastic selection of beers on draft and an overwhelmingly phenomenal selection of bottled/canned beer that you can take home (we ended up with 6 beers in our suitcase home, although we wished we had room for 30). We also enjoyed tasty burgers & fries from the on-site food truck. I think if we lived in Portland, this would easily be a place we'd frequent each week. Definitely a beer gem in Oregon! read more

Great taproom & bottle shop! They have approximately 34 beverages on tap, and the bottle shop has a huge variety of beers, both local and from breweries across the U.S. & international. Their pricing is quite reasonable, too. We took home 8 qty 16 oz cans of a mix of specialty/seasonal beers & a 500ml bottle of a specialty beer, and it was under $55. The taproom has plenty of seating inside in the bar area, and there's a sidewalk patio out front, and two other patios out back, one covered and one uncovered. For food, they only have some small snacks like chips, nuts & jerky, but there is a smash burger/sandwich food truck next door. The people working both the bottle shop & taproom were really nice, and helpful, too. read more

The selection on tap and shelves is excellent. Service a bit for no reason snobby, a big turn off when you come in for a pint. Divey rundown decor, unique tap handle display of all their past beer, claustrophobic outdoor patio seating. Not a spot for groups, primarily for singles or couples. Single smashburger truck outside. read more

I was stoked to see a beer joint like this at the end of my street while I stayed in Portland! However, around 4:45pm on a Friday, I did not have a good experience. The bartenders are people you might see bartending on a dock in The Keys in Florida (weirdly unprofessional). The place was sticky and unkempt -- my beer glass was absolutely disgusting. There were over 25 options to choose from and the beer I wanted was tapped out. This happens...so I asked for a recommendation and the beer I was recommended was flavorless. My friend got a sour and it was a diabetic shock with no flavor as well. It took forever to close out and that was irritating. I should have gotten a Monster Smash Burger outside to make this a 3 star experience but it just left a bad taste in my mouth. read more

How did I not know about this place? This is a beer mecca for beer snobs! Beervana is here! I stepped in and there was a rep from Fremont Beer Co., brewers of the always tasty Dark Star, featuring a flight of 4 barrel-aged imperial stouts. The 40-ish taps were filled with interesting options like a squid ink gose. The attached bottle shop doesn't only sell singles fetching extra high prices like others do but also has 4- and 6-packs for regular prices, including Sun River's Chocolate Milk Stout which I'm always on the look out for. Then I walked past the bar out to the back patio, and there is something idyllic going on out there. It was buzzing with locals and just had a lovely, woody vibe. I can tell I'll have happy times there in the future. Can't wait. read more

Wow. Exceptional tap list. Ive purchased beer at the bottle shop for 20 years. They now have covered picnic tables and an actual bar. You can buy cans/bottles, have bartender open them and sit outside, or choose from the tap list. As of october 21st it was still fresh hop time and they had a pretty huge selection. They also had 4-5 wild yeasted sours. It might be the best tap list ive seen in years. That 'alesong blending cheers to the land' was amazing. Sour beer with Rubarb! Place is very relaxed, everyone was friendly. Highest recommendation. read more

Great service. Great bartenders! Lovely little dive bar. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive. Good scene. Would def go back.

So much beer! What I love about Belmont Station are the coolers divided by type - open this door for sours, this one for IPAs, this one for seasonal batches. On top of that, there are helpful tags indicating things like pumpkin brews in fall, staff favorites, beers with fresh hops, etc. If that isn't enough to help you choose from the hundreds or thousands of beers here you can always ask the staff to help you out as they tend to know their stuff. They get some rare beer drops (like Pliny the Younger from Russian River Brewing) and do different beer related festivals/promotions throughout the year (like Oktoberfest). They also have a front patio and back/downstairs patio with food cart. read more

When I told him it was on their website he said " the "website isn't accurate". When I started totalk he just walked away read more

I didn't know what to expect with Belmont Station. I mean, I didn't know what it was. We just knew that they were a venue that was participating in Portland Beer Week and they were showcasing award-winning beers from the area. Sounded good to me. We visited Belmont Station on a Friday night and the place was super busy! Luckily, we snagged the last table, otherwise, I didn't know where we were gonna sit. They do have some outdoor space, but the space is small. Parking was easily found on the street. Belmont Station had a massive list of beers on tap, which was king. No matter what kind of beer you prefer, there's something for everyone here. And you best believe they had plenty of different IPAs to choose from, which was great for yours truly since IPAs are my favorite kind of beer. Plus, I liked that I could try Oregon beers from small breweries that I had never heard of before, so that was a real treat. As if Portland is lacking in beer spots, Belmont Station certainly has lots and lots of beer to choose from. Yes, you can get different sizes too, making tastings all the more easy. PLUS, I loved seeing how dog-friendly the place was. I dug it. read more

We made a special trip to Belmont Station specifically for DREKKER beer! We have a monthly beer subscription which has introduced us to some amazing beers, and Belmont carries them! So to Portland, we went! Drekker, The Brewing Projekt, Untitled Art, and Humble Forager - to name a few! If you're a sour fan, I recommend checking them out! Great selection. Beats the selection we have in Seattle, that is for sure! The prices are good, and the selection is great! They have cases and cases of all different beer types, not just the sours we were after! Tons of IPAs and Pales! This place is the adult candy store, and I'm into it! read more

Always have great ciders and bonus attached to Monster Smash, the only reason I visited this place after they left My oh My.

The bottle shop has a great selection. The old bitch behind the bar nextdoor has made me never want to return here. I got a few tallboys next door and had time so I popped next door to drink one of them. I sat at a near-empty bar and didn't get help for a few minutes, asked for a pint glass and she came back with a snifter, looked at my can and said "oh you meant a PINT glass." (thats... what i aksed for) I poured my own beer but left a few dollars on the bar as a tip of course. I finished my beer, my glass sat empty for ten minutes, again at a near-empty bar with two bartenders. Finally I was tired of waiting and cracked another of my cans and poured my beer into my old glass and after watching me pour it the older female bartender walked over and asked if I had just opened my beer. I said yes and she started laying into me about how it was against OLCC rules to do that. I didn't know and wasnt getting help! I said Sorry and that I didn't know and she wouldn't let up. She was so unnecessarily upset and rude! I apologized again but she still wouldn't stop telling me that it puts her liquor license in jeopardy. I totally understand how scary that is, and in no way intended to cause trouble. I don't work in a bar and it would be great if next time the professional could check her fear emotions and calmy explain to me what I did wrong and ask me not to do it again. This woman has 20 years on me by the looks of it and communicated like a child throwing a tantrum. Shocking. She needs to learn how to communicate to people that aren't the old white cis male regulars that patron this bar every day. There's a thousand places to buy beer in this town and this IS NOT IT. read more

After five years of false starts, I finally made it to Belmont Station. Everyone was super friendly and helpful. I started in the taproom side and got to try a bunch of hard to find beers. They have lots of indoor and outdoor room. The bottle shop had a really nice range of options including a lot of great local ciders. Looking forward to coming back in the future! read more

Belmont Station - It's not quite a train station but close enough. - Beer Gardens Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Some of the best beer selection in town...without the greasy crusts of a place like Horsebrass. This used to be a humble bottle shop, one of the first of its kind. It has expanded steadily to the point where it's now a bar you'd want to hang out in. Staff used to be kind of elitist and snooty. The woman working last night was friendly. (and had an outstanding sense of fashion. I'm not a good judge of fashion though...so take that with a grain of salt) The back patio is woody and cozy. This is/was my favorite place to go after hanging out with the Mazamas. Great memories here. And beer. Great beer. Seriously, you come here for the beer. read more

The food was in back... in a food truck. Belmont Station is a beer bar & food truck. Really nothing special. Eating at a picnic table is not special. The burger truck burger had a soft soggy bun. Not a pleasant experience although the burger had a very healthy portion of chips read more

The only 5 star I have ever given. The choice of beers is amazing. I really enjoy this place, the options available fro nasty double IPAs to smooth rich Stouts, delicious mead and delightful ales if you want a beer and want to be lost in options, this is the best place to start. read more

This experience was a standout as the rudest service I have ever had at a bar or a restaurant. The bartender seemed to go out of his way to treat us badly and his remarks were very offensive to women. The beer is OK but there are so many other breweries and pubs that we will not be going back there. My only confusion is why the owners allow someone with such an obvious dislike for his job to stay employed there. read more

I am giving 5, yes, 5 stars because of the commitment they give to serve beer you cannot have anywhere else. I love winter ales, and so do they. And these specific beers are very assertive in flavour and ABV. Bottled or served on draft. Kick back in the bar area and relax. Food cart in back. ( I didn't pay attention). I mean..Its all about beer. Well I'm a liar because they have mead, ciders, and some wines too. Something for everyone. I have noticed, too, that the staff can be a little fey and distracted sometimes. I got over it. So, I spent a few hours here, on Wi Fi, by myself, on my windows phone, just chillaxin' with a great beer! read more

Such an awesome place. I was thrilled to see some Maine Beer Company on the menu. I ended up going with a spelt-based ale for a pint outside and was not disappointed. Great store as well, I got a bottle of Hawthorn Berry Mead to take home with me to the east coast. I'll definitely come back next time I'm in town. read more

Belmont Station - One of the many beers available - this one was excellent! - Beer Gardens Near Me - Portland, Oregon

It's all here, in a small space. A little feel of trying to jam too much in, but wow are there choices here. Friendly, knowledgeable staff, too many questions to ask. And Belmont Station has two heads, the other half being the pub, 32 taps, and such a well-curated selection--probably my second in town, after Apex, which has 50. The back and front spaces are well-windowed and pleasant. No better beer-tenders. read more

Staff is very friendly and helpful. No issues going in the back to look for a specific bottle for you. Such a huge assortment of spirits. I come here for a specific bottle of beer for the girlfriend. They have prices for cash vs credit cards as well. Not a big difference if you're only getting a bottle or two. But it's appreciated nonetheless. Come here for hard to find alcohol. They might just have it. read more

Being that I'm the newbie to Portland, most all of you probably know about Belmont Station. For the one or two of you that don't, it's a place to pick up great beer. All those large single bottles from all across the area, focusing on the local brews from here and Washington. Although I was surprised to see some Shiner Farmhouse Ale from Texas. One big thing to note, which I'm not sure if it's a Portland thing or just this place. The prices are slightly different depending on if you pay cash or credit/debit. About 20 cents different. I find that odd, but not sure if it's the norm, because I have purchased beer locally and it hasn't happened to me as of yet. Anyway, incredible selection and you could try beers for the next couple of years and not go through what they have there. They also have a "Philly style Italian Market" eatery attached to the place, but I didn't venture in to see what they had. I'm sure cheese steak is on the menu, maybe even pork with broccoli rabe? Enjoy drinking and eating here. I will venture in from time to time, with cash, to pick up a bottle or two to try. read more

OK, more than past due for an update. Even more taps, and very nice servers now. If not the best selection of beer on tap and in packages, one of the best in Portland and the US. Definitely a place to visit for good beer in the Portland area. read more

Beer lover paradise!---1 block walk to woodsy Laurelhurst Park, where you can pass out under a big shade tree after tasting 24 brews on tap in the bar. The bottle store is filed inch by inch with beer selections that'll make your head spin. Friendly pub! Convivial vibe! By 5 PM lots of hop heads crack-a-lackin at the bar smack dab in the neighborhood! Exceptional beer list! We like the IPA (Ecliptic Lupulin Nebula) where the hops are frozen with nitrogen and all the goodness squeezed out as a powder for the freshest hop pint to taste---Lupulin This nitro-powder process is New Wave brewing---so get Ready PDX for more of the same by other brewer's! read more

We had a chill afternoon here with several rounds of drinks. We started on their outdoor table and then moved inside when the rain started. It was easy to stay entertained between their many beer options and the bookshelf full of games. We ended up playing cards for several hours. I'm not much of a beer drinker myself but they had a great cider and a honey wine that I enjoyed! Just beware that their "small" is really tiny - maybe a double shot. Not really worth it unless you really just want a few sips of your drink! First round: http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/belmont-station-portland?select=kd7c--DipZDSvjVE_-IOAw#kd7c--DipZDSvjVE_-IOAw If you get hungry, they also have a menu from the Italian Market around the corner! read more

I've been a long time customer of Belmont Station. I remember my first visit and the team that worked there during that time, they all left a lasting impression and helped me grow my knowledge and excitement to craft brews! The team now is equally as amazing and knowledgeable, greeted with excitement each visit and engaged meaningfully with conversation! This place is for sure a one stop shop for anything you might be hunting for. read more

Next to Beermongers, Belmont probably has the best tap list we've encountered in Portland thus far. There are always at least two things we want to order. There's lots of seating outside, both in the front and back, so you'll probably be comfortable. EDIT: On a Saturday night, the back biergarten area was completely silent. No music, no white noise, nothing but the awkward low-talking of people. Super awkward. Are they trying to keep people from sitting back here? It's working. My only very small complaint is that the people that are usually working have some sort of grizzled, no-nonsense attitude. It's not rude, it just doesn't make me feel like I want to spend much time around them. We order our beer and head straight to the patio. We'll be back! read more

I don't recommend the business today but other days it's been pleasant. We took our family who is in town here today around 3pm and we were disappointed by the bar tender. It appeared the person working behind bar was irritable to have customers as they were short and just rude. Asked for a recommendation and they stated I don't know I'm busy and walked away. Another customer was kind and provided some recommendations. I was embarrassed for the person working. :/ read more

OH-MY-CRAFT, the holy Craft grail of take out brew in THE WHOLE CRAFT WORLD (and I should know, I can see all Craft). Make thee a pilgrimage there my Craft children, but be thou warned. Either turn up with a 60ft shipping container - even Portland doesn't have THAT many eco-bags - or go in softly, a few brews at a time. I've seen with my own Craftnipotend eyes, hardened Crafters who have served their time in Craft haunts across the planet standing stunned for hours with their hands softly stroking the misty doors of the refrigerators and their eyes full of mosaic and citra tears of happiness. You can go through into the taproom from the store which has a surprisingly small list, but hey, nothing else matters after what you've just seen.
