I bring my dog here to help teach her people aren't scary. All the bartenders are always so kind and shower her with milk bones and love. She enjoys running around in the dog park and the beer is great, so it's a win-win. Pepper and I both rate this spot 10 stars!

Back yard area

Service was quick and friendly, and the space is wonderful. Plenty of outdoor seating both covered and uncovered. The back yard is a GEM! Kids and dogs welcome. They even have a small off leash fenced area for dogs. I'll be bringing friends and dogs next time I stop by. Oh.....and great beer too! 10/10 would recommend.

This place is difficult for me to rate because there are so many moving parts to it. I'll just give my feedback on each bit individually. Parking: Wasn't bad for a Thursday evening in the winter, but I think in the summertime it probably will not have enough spots for everyone. Ambiance: Absolutely loved the ambience in the covered area. There are string lights and plants hanging from the ceiling, which I thought was really nice. There are some arcade machines inside which people were playing and seemed to enjoy as well. A nice retro feel there. Service: Bartenders were great. Very kind, you can keep a tab open, there wasn't a super long wait for the food from the food cart either and the gal working at the seafood cart was so kind. Food/Beverage quality: The beers and ciders were really good. I had Poke from the seafood cart and it was a ripoff for the cost. $15 for a really tiny tapas size bowl. The coconut rice was okay, but it tasted like the one I make at home, not like what I'd normally get at a place I am eating out at, so that was a miss. The fish itself was not impressive, and they cut it into super large chunks which made it difficult to eat. The fish flavor really overwhelmed everything else in the bowl. I liked the veggies on top and sauce, I wish I could have tasted more of that but it was FISH FISH FISH lol The best part about the place: STRAY CATS!! They had 3 gorgeous kitties there who the dad cat (also a stray) brought to them when they were very tiny. They're still small, but about 8-9 months old now. They were cautiously optimistic and of course, never get fed ever...... and the three cat bowls that had food overflowing in them and fresh running water didn't exist..... and they are STARVING and nobody loves them....... So please feed them food...... lol! They are little beggars but the people at the place are taking very good care of them, and have a trap and neuter appointment for them next week. I was impressed by that. The thing that really turned me off was that we were inside where the heat lamps were. Business hours are until 9 pm on Thursdays but they turned the heaters off around 8:15 and it was freezing. I get that you don't want people to overstay past closing time, I worked at a restaurant and know how terrible it can be when people just won't leave, but I thought it was poor form to shut off the heat an hour before closing time, when it was 45 degrees outside. We came there because we knew it was going to be warm, so to have that not be true halfway through the visit was aggravating. People who come in the summertime won't experience this, and maybe it was a one off, but it really left a bad taste in my mouth.

Level Beer on NE 148th Ave in Portland, Oregon.

This is another excellent brewery in Portland. We've only been to the Level 1 brewery and taproom on NE 148th Ave a little east of the airport. It's in a ight industrial building in a modern light industrial park. The taproom inside is ok but a bit stark and basic. However, the outside seating area, partialy covered and with lots of plants, is very nice, extremely comfortable, attractive, and laid out with great care. Someone also took care in choosing the plants around it. The beer is excellent and, like most of our favourite brewers in Portland (including our old-time favourite, the sadly now-defunct Bridgeport), they make cask-conditioned real ales. We had a nice English IPA cask ale when we were there. Service is friendly and attentive.

My Level Beer craft brew. Love the presentation within the glass.

I love the energy level here from the employees + locals that work within the industrial area close to this venue, yet I just didn't see the big deal on why this craft beer venue is supposed to be exceptional. It's okay. There are food trucks prior to entering, as well as a large open space outside with a good assortment of large tables + small ones for 1-2 people to drink & chill. I wound up ordering an IPA craft beer while waiting for traffic to dissipate on the road into Washougal, WA. There is a good portion of craft beers available, yet I was under the impression that there would be a high level of several dozen choices. World of Beer, this is not. You can find the same assortment anywhere in the Portland region, from Gresham to Clackamas and Oregon City, to Lake Oswego, Tigard and Hendersonville. Heck, even Beavertown has quite a bit of craft beer choices. Not crapping on this place at all. From a non-local point of view, I don't see the big deal. It's a pleasant venue to get good eats & a brew, yet it's not over the top orgasmic.

A Hazy IPA... a nice one to unwind with.

I've recently tried three beers from Level Brewing and really enjoyed them! I had two of their New England IPA's the "Cognitively There" and " Low Resolution ". Neither beer was bad and each one had their own flavor profile despite them both being New England IPA's. After having the two however I decided that I liked "Low Resolution " the best based on my own preferences. The other beer was "Finish Him" which the can is a lot of fun as it reminds you of a Mortal Kombat game. This was probably my favorite beer out of the three as it's a stout and was just so appropriate and fitting on the rainy day where we were enjoying these beers. I would love to try more of Level's beers in the future! On another note I went to their website and bought two t shirts so be sure and check that out too or visit the taproom!

I don't know what the hype on this place is. It is a typical brewery. The place looks like a warehouse. There are several food trucks outside. We sat at the table in an open space area. It looks like a greenhouse. It was super hot. I felt very uncomfortable. Besides, The beers are average.

Beer flights
Amanda N.

A hidden brewery minutes from my boyfriends place and the airport. I love the vibe of the interior! Kinda like video games with many selections of beers on tap. We opted for the beer flights and the staff were helpful of providing me with tastings near my preferences. I'm not a huge beer drinker, but I'll drink for taste. There's an enclosed area to sit like a beer garden with food trucks outside. Def a cool place to check out if you're into beers.

See all

Review Highlights - Level Beer

My favorite was the hazy IPA The only negative would be that it's quite a hike outside of the city, so it's a one-stop destination.

We really enjoy this restaurant in the Pearl District. We regularly stop in after a morning visit…read moreto Powell's. They are a brewery pub and have the fare that matches. Their tap list is extensive but also includes non-standard options. We love to see non-alcoholic beers as well as gluten free beer, cider, cocktails, and other libations. The food menu is great too. There are several items that either come gluten free or can be modified to be. The servers are knowledgeable about the ingredients of the menu items and I feel confident and safe eating here when gluten free is a need for me. They can get pretty crowded, but have several seating options. It was nice out today so outdoor seating was even possible, though it looked like there was a wait. There are tvs in several spots that showcase local sports when possible. There is a kids area and you can sit close while the kids play. Everyone we come in contact with here from servers to hosts are super friendly and welcoming. The food is pretty good. This time around, we shared the garlic Parmesan fries and the chicken wings (buffalo and honey gojuchang sauces). The wings were smoked and moist with good flavor. The fries were alright. More of the aioli would have helped so maybe request extra sauce or get some on the side. The dessert menu has some non-traditional offerings. The highlight for me was the cheesecake. I was assured by a server one time that the chef creates a gluten free cheesecake that rotates on the seasonal dessert menu. The current offering is tiramisu. The coffee chocolate sauce is good and I appreciated the bonus chocolate chip biscotti. The actual cheesecake is decent and I would be excited to try other flavors in the future.

Came to 10 Barrel Brewing for the rooftop because it was such a beautiful day in Portland, and the…read moreatmosphere definitely delivered. Great rooftop vibe and a fun place to hang out for an afternoon. We ordered a beer flight, and as someone who's had quite a few brewery flights and is pretty open-minded when it comes to beer, this one unfortunately missed the mark for me. Out of the 10 beers, only about 3 were somewhat enjoyable and around 4 were honestly undrinkable. Thankfully, the food redeemed things a bit. We got the pizza with artichoke hearts, mozzarella, ricotta, garlic, and basil. It was super flavorful and the dough was delicious, especially the crust. We also tried the catfish po' boy. It was a little salty, but the fish itself was cooked really well and the sauce was tasty. The spring mix salad with cranberries, slivered almonds, and feta was good too, though I personally would've liked a better toppings-to-lettuce ratio. Overall, I'd come back for the rooftop and food, but probably know to expect mediocre brews.

This place has a popular rooftop bar which gets crowded on sunny weekends when the weather is nice…read more They have communal tables (we even made a friend while sitting there) and you can order by barcode and someone will bring food to the table for you (be prepared to wait!). We ordered a salad and it took about 45 minutes to come out. Their kale Caesar was way better than I thought it would be for a bar! Very fresh with a delicious dressing. Simple with pepitas, kale and raddicio. Cheese and dressing. Their beers are some of my favorite from a local brewery. Their Cloud Mentality is a good choice for IPAs. The line gets long for the bar and there's no way to close your tab if you leave it open unless you're willing to wait in the line again to pay. If you don't do that you will be automatically charged 20% gratuity which is a good deal to not have to line up just to close out.

I love the space as well, though if you're looking for somewhere for a quiet conversation and welcoming pastels this is NOT your spot. I wish we could bring the kids to hang out with us on the patio at least, but Portland permitting is weird AF. Love the merch, love the tap lists, love the events, love the cooler; what more can I say? To top it all off they have El Viejon serving some of the best mexican food anywhere in Portland right in the joint! I've yet to try a single dish that's not delicious and many are absolute favorites. Get a cali burrito and call it a day; you'll be set! Sam et al; you guys are amazing and we really appreciate you! I genuinely only wish I had more time to come spend enjoying Brujos.

Brujos is a hidden gem in NW/slabtown that everyone should try at least once…read more They just completed an interior renovation of the bar, and damn, is it ever a cool design and space. I am a big fan of the indoor/outdoor flow for the space, especially on nice weather afternoons like we have had recently. Outdoor seating is limited, so be prepared to sit inside. Interior seating is not the most comfortable, with former church bleachers that are quite bouncy or large and hard game of thrones-like high chairs. The team is super friendly and will send you to the food station or the bar depending on your needs, and, with the good quality Mexican cuisine on service, you'll want a taco or two. The brewery specializes in Hazy/IPAs, to come expecting to enjoy these PNW basics. I swapped between them and non-alcoholic options since hazies are not my favorite but everyone I was with loved them. The restrooms are clean and there are plenty of bike stands to make this a car-free journey.
