I had fish and chips. It was the best ever. Great pizza and tap list. Perfect place to watch Thorns and Timbers games. Planning to definitely go back again read more

This place is a pleasant surprise. Definitely a "Don't Judge a Book by its Cover" place! I have never been there and my friends and family had not been there in many years. It was neat, clean and welcoming. There is seating upstairs (with the restrooms). It was early evening and the lighting is perfect. The food was WAY above average. I had the fish tacos which were extremely tasty and I wasn't disappointed. Everyone else had the fish and chips which had a light batter. To a person they were very pleased with their meals. The service was great and somewhat remarkable since there was only one server on the floor. They have a large beer selection. I recommend this place for a light spring/summer meal. They have sandwiches, hamburgers and pizza offerings. Check it out. read more

Boulevard Taphouse - Two fish tacos - Beer Bar Near Me - Portland, Oregon

This was the first time in literally years since I've visited this restaurant, the last time I was there it was known as The Crab Bowl. And just like before I was totally satisfied with the experience. The place is now run by the Grand Son of the original owner of the Crab Bowl. And, he has done a great job of dressing up the place, Ok , about the food. We had the Fish & Chips, and I've never had better. There is a good selection of Beers, plus only one Cider at this time with more coming. The service is Good, I've already mentioned the Ambiance. Needless to say we Will be returning to sample more of the varied selections on the Menu. Should you try this place out? Definitely. P.S. I gave the rating of Four Stars only because I believe that room for Improvement always exists. Otherwise I am completely satisfied. read more

Can I leave 3.75 stars? I love the super-cazh, ultra-homey vibe at the Taphouse --- basically this is like somebody's two-story house tweaked to serve beer and food to more folks than just the tenants. So, think small wooden kitchen tables scattered around, comfy chairs, a fireplace, and a separate upstairs area with a true bar to hang out with your buds. Nice big TV screens both upstairs and downstairs and there's even a small patio/deck up there with great views of Barbur Blvd... Service is great, super accommodating and the grub is basically pub fare, but with some nice additions; hello oyster shooters! Pizzas are solid and cheezy but everyone I've spoken to swears by the fish n chips. Guess I'll have to order those. It's neighborhood-y, it's comfy, it's a bit dowdy, and maybe a little square but it's friendly and welcoming. Just be warned - the parking situation is atrocious. read more

We came partly because of their kid's room and partly because of their fish & chips! We visited in a Saturday around 5:30 and had the upstairs to ourselves for most of the time. The playroom is great with a lot to keep my 2-year old happy. We ordered the kids fish and chips, the oyster po boy, and the fried chicken sandwich. The fish was tasty, with a light crispy batter. The fries also had the perfect level of crisp! The po boy was good, but not something I'd likely order again. The fried chicken was also good, but we've had better and my husband commented that it was a little dry. Service was friendly. The man working told us about the long history of the restaurant and showed us some pictures! It was easy to order and our food was brought out timely and hot. My husband enjoyed the beer selection, and pints of the IPA's he ordered were a solid $6. Overall, would suggest this place as a meet up with family and friends with kids! read more

Solid pub food! Very high quality food, well prepared, a good amount of food, and very reasonably priced. Really loved the pan fried oysters and dry rubbed wings. The place itself is very cozy. Two stories with a patio and parking front and back. Friendly service too! read more

The owners bartender called in tonight so he was working himself (David). The food was fantastic (I watched the cook work, he was quick and efficient). The service was fantastic and even though the restaurant is a little cramped, they use what they have to the best advantage. We came in just before 5:00 p.m. on a Friday night and by the time we were done with dinner the place was packed. They have a good beer/cider selection, a bar plus a decent menu. Everything we saw being served looked great. My Boulevard Surpreme Burger was very goid and wife loved her fish sandwich. Definitely worth the try! We'll be back. read more

Family owned business the owner is a great guy oysters were amazing. Steak was amazing. The pizza that we saw was amazing.

I've driven passed here for years and always wanted to stop because of the giant "fish and chips" sign, and I am soooooo glad I finally did! A fireplace roars with jazz downstairs while upstairs hosts a cozy family space with tvs and a child's playroom. The food was amazing and the service was attentive. I can't wait to go back! read more

Wow! What a find. Don't ever judge a book by its cover. From Barbur Blvd the place looks relatively nondescript, but man inside it's a gem. And the food... Oh Boy Probably the best fish and chips I've ever eaten at a very affordable price. Michael, our server and manager was THE BEST! FRIENDLY and very FUN establishment very highly recommend read more

We tried their cod fish and chips last night for dinner with the lavender kombucha. There was live jazz and the family-owned element of the place definitely made it special. It's one of those places where you feel like a regular on your first visit. Low-key and cool. read more

Interesting restaurant that feels like it's in someone's house. Downstairs someone was playing the piano; not sure if they were a customer or not. There's a kid's playroom upstairs along with more dining tables. The food took a while to arrive, but it was soooo good. We got the pan fried oysters and 4 piece cod fish and chips. Both the oysters and cod were so soft, tender, and juicy! Their menu also offers burgers, sandwiches, pizza, salad, steak, and hot dogs. read more

FANTASTIC Fish n Chips for only $16. !! Honestly, you won't find better in Pdx. This place looks like a dive when you walk in, but upstairs, there is lots of light from big windows and a great, small outdoor deck with trees and interesting views. I got the 4 piece Fish n Chips. They were large pieces of cod, cooked to perfection in a light beer batter, crispy, and best of all, NOT GREASY. The tartar sauce and coleslaw are homemade and delicious. They even have "Portland Ketchup" for the fries, made with a little sugar, not high fructose corn syrup. I've been looking for an excellent F n C place for decades. Finally found this gem... you won't be disappointed. Good service too. read more

Boulevard Taphouse - Oyster Po'Boy and an Arch Rock Porter...love their slaw as well. - Beer Bar Near Me - Portland, Oregon

A great neighborhood pub that seems to fly under the radar. That's what I think best defines Boulevard Taphouse. Honestly, I'm certain I've driven past the Boulevard Taphouse too many times to count. On the recommendation of a mate, however, I placed an order. Oh my goodness - I'm not driving past any longer. I'll definitely be stopping more often. Really good fish and chips - and clam chowder to make anyone on the Oregon coast jealous. The Boulevard Taphouse is a quintessential neighborhood pub - loads of beer on tap and a fun assortment of comfort food. Made even more delightful by a super pleasant and convivial bar server/owner. read more

We had the fish and chips and they were very good. The young lady working was very nice. However, clean the condiment jars, they were sticky and not clean, pretty gross. Very limited bar, some liquor options were empty. My guess is that beer is more their thing. I would eat there again because of the food and service. read more

Fish n Chips is my all time favorite. The best I had was in Cornwall, UK. This place is really the best Fish n Chips I have had in the U.S. I moved to Oregon from Los Angeles 2 yrs ago and there's a lot of variety and ways of cooking Fish n Chips there but, does not hit that specific crisp and batter taste. This place hits all the markers if you're a Fish n Chips lover, combined with their Cole Slaw and sauce...Uuuuwwee!!! Service was excellent. THANK YOU!! read more

A tiny little place on Barbur Blvd- 14 rotating taps and a brief but heavy hitting menu. I enjoyed the oyster po'boy and my husband had the fish and chips. I loved mine, he was so-so on his meal but expectations were very high given the reviews! This place is cozy, welcoming and warm with a fireplace blazing, very clean and inviting. I had a Pilsner, it was a little flat but otherwise good. Service was friendly, welcoming and prompt! read more

Boulevard Taphouse - Cozy! - Beer Bar Near Me - Portland, Oregon

I ate here once before 15 months ago. It was a late night order, and despite that, I found the quality and portion size top rate. Recently, they have been new signs outside, and I had imagined there might be new owners. But when I entered, I discovered it was the same folks. And you know what? The food was every bit as good. They take a lot of pride in what they do, and the employee who spoke to me last time told me all about it. Well he was long gone, but I heard the same story this time, and could really taste it. Many places skimp on the fryer oil, keeping it too long. You can really taste what places do that. Those never get my repeat business. Not here. Everything is clean and crisp. In fact, when I put my order in on the phone, they told me when to come by because they wanted to make sure the fish was just coming out of the fryer when I picked it up. So I went and did an errand, came back, and arrived three minutes before we had talked about. The gentleman at the counter apologized, and said the fish was just finishing being fried. Exactly 3 minutes later, and on time, My order was done. In fact, it was three orders of Fish and chips. I had asked for the three-piece portion size, and they put out four, and explained the pieces were a little bit smaller than normal, so they added an extra piece to make sure that they were being fair to me. I love that sort of communication, because it explains why there were four pieces so that I won't have strange expectations the next time I go. They also talked about how they really want to listen to their customers and provide what people want, and that they need to make it on one customer at a time. I should add that this business had been david's father. He and his brother took it over and redecorated the place. They also have a lot of beers on tap and a full menu. I am adding the current one because other reviews still show the old one. OK let's get to the fish and chips. They use fresh cod. The fish was crispy, the fries were crispy, both without being overladen with grease. Not easy to do. They provided, in the to go containers, malt vinegar, and a very fresh tasting tartar sauce. It was clearly homemade, with a lot of dill, and what tasted like tarragon in the background. I couldn't see any fresh tarragon, so I'm guessing they may have use some tarragon vinegar in it. With all that going right for it, why only four stars? We all thought the coleslaw had too much mayonnaise in it. That may just be our taste, and maybe most of their customers like a very mayonnaisy slaw. Just be aware. Simultaneously, the coleslaw was in a different container -along with a lemon wedge--so that it wouldn't make anything soggy. These folks really want to ensure that when you get the fish and chips home, it's as close to being fresh as possible. Nice craftsmanship! read more

Yummy,fresh and very reasonable prices. We had the fish and chips. You would never notice this place because it's easy to drive by on Barbur. It is definitely worth the stop if your in this area, read more

good stuff. they gave me a free lollipop and the burgers are fire. I like how they always play basketball or football

This place is a miracle. Delicious fish sandwich, perfect fries. Great bar scene. Upstairs has a tiny porch, TVs and a room just for kids to hang out and play with toys. Everyone is crazy friendly, and the owner was so amazing to our family. Can't wait to come back. read more

This is a great find! Obviously it's been there for a long time... At first, it seems pretty small, but it extends upstairs. There is a nice hearth in the room which would be great in the winter. Tables are spaced well, simple. A bit of rustic vibe. 10 taps with a solid beer selection along with plenty of bottled options. The staff was very friendly, warm and very low stress. Tried the burger and a buffalo chicken sandwich - both were excellent. Really good flavours yet still very classic. The crunch on the chicken was perfect. The desserts are hand made - the blueberry cobbler was delicious - like it was made by my grandma. read more

Just about anything here doesn't matter when you consider how lively the people are. Great for kids and families alike. Lots of space.

We've driven by for years, but finally stopped in. It looks divey and it is. It doesn't look like a family friendly place, but they allow kids and were so nice to my kids. The cook even gave my daughter a cupcake on the way out, which means it's her new favorite restaurant. The fish and chips, what they are apparently known for are good. The batter on the fish was crisp and flavorful and the crinkle cut fries were a fun throwback, though I prefer fresh cut. The fish they use is cod and while I really love halibut usually, I thought the cod was great and the price was unbeatable. We also had a pizza. Honestly, it was just okay. I probably wouldn't order it again. My family sat on the small patio, which has two tables. It was not totally shaded, but it was enough shade that we were comfortable on a very hot day. read more

I don't know why I have not written a review of this wonderful taphouse. This place is pretty close to our house on Barbur by the Freddies. We first came here about a year ago and got togo food and have been coming back for beers and growler fills. The other night we were gonna go to McMenamins and after terrible service we headed over to the taphouse to a friendly face at the counter. We ordered a four piece fish and chips, side caesar, and a bowl of chowder. We each got a beer of their taplist and headed up stairs to their awesome patio. It is small but cute, has an alexa for music and looks out onto Barbur. It was night so there was some nice lights out there as well. Let us get to the food! Holy smokes it was so tasty and affordable. We literally licked the bowl on just about everything we got. The chowder was the best chowder I have ever had in my entire life. The beers were tasty and affordable as well. I will definitely be back to enjoy more food and drinks! read more

First time at this establishment and the service was not only personable but also inviting. The structure has a cozy but authentic feel both up and downstairs. The upstairs patio was quaint and perfect for a evening drink while the PNW sun cools down around us. Would recommend, great vibes. Heard the food was great, must try next time. Bathrooms were also up to par. Edit: wings were great and had a house dry rub but were breaded, steak bites were also pretty good! read more

Wow! How was some of the best food in Portland right under my nose?! We ordered burgers and fries-- both cooked to perfection and full of flavor. They have many drinks (both alcohol and non alcoholic) ready to go. We sat on the patio and enjoyed a warm, fall evening. Yet, they also have plenty of room upstairs and downstairs. Perfect place to watch football games! And most importantly-- we were greeted kindly and attended to. Perfectly place to visit regularly! read more
