Loyal Legion is hands down one of my favorite spots in Portland. The vibe is relaxed and welcoming, the staff is genuinely friendly, and the rotating tap list is unmatched. If you're into discovering great local beers and ciders, this place is a dream -- there's always something new and exciting to try. The food is just as impressive. Everything I've had has been fresh, flavorful, and thoughtfully prepared. Whether you're stopping in for a casual drink, a full meal, or meeting friends, Loyal Legion delivers every time. It's the kind of place that feels both elevated and approachable -- perfect for date nights, gatherings, or just treating yourself after a long day. Can't recommend it enough. read more

Dropped in for drinks and a snack after a long walk. This hit the spot. Massive drink menu. We grabbed a burger and fried chicken bites. Both were so tasty especially after a hike. My Mule was very refreshing and delicious. Lots of screens so you won't miss the game. I love that they offer lots of seating options and different sizes to cater to a variety of group sizes. read more

What is up with this place now?! Shitty service, the chicken bites were chicken less and more like breaded bites, it used to be chunks of chicken now it is small shredded chicken chunks. Wish I had a picture. Also their ranch has changed. Greed has over powered. Not the same like it used to be. read more

I went here 7/25 to try the special slushee from the Portland Mercury's $10 slushee-month promotion. The bar was pretty quiet (but we went at 3:00 PM on a Sunday, so I can't speak to peak hours!) The bartender was very friendly, and the vibe was pretty casual. Lots of emo/punk music, which was a plus for me. The slushee was good-- strong, sweet, and had enough tea flavor to come through but not completely overpower the peach. The happy hour menu looked really reasonable, and I would come back to try some of their other cocktails. Overall, a nice experience! read more

Great place for a trivia night! The bar is large with a lot of great seating options. The whiskey/bourbon selection is wide and varied. The beer selection is also extensive with a nice choice of a taster wheel. The food has a great selection of pub bites. The pretzel and cheese sauce was standard. The sweet potato fries crispy. The sausage was cooked perfectly. The bartenders were very attentive and personable. read more

When you find a place that shares your name, you really need to go. Outstanding whiskey collection. An opportunity to try some rare, hard to find bourbon. The bartender was helpful and the service was excellent. Really enjoyed the hamburger. I took uber because parking was not easy to find. read more

This place was rad! 99 taps and I walked in and told them I wanted something local and they told me everything was local? Incredible. Amazing whiskey selection, too. Would definitely go back here next time I'm in town! read more

Came here at night for a drink and it was great. Fun vibes, really friendly bartender, and an amazing festbier selection. Hung out in a booth area and spent a good hour there. I'll definitely come back. read more

I really do heart Loyal Legion. The beer selection is incredible and I could sit here for a while trying out one of the great rotating NE-ipa's on draft. But it's also a cool space, dark and woodsy on the inside, with a good amount of outdoor seating too. And even further, they have a good amount of vegan options (when the hunger inevitably comes on.) Yes, it's bar food (fried, beige) but who can say no to a vegan corn dog?! Though it can get busy (particularly on weekends/nights), service is typically very attentive. And since you order at the bar, you can check out or grab more food/drinks very easily. Cheers to LL! read more

In PDX for the first time in a few years. Wandering the city. I was looking for a place called Sassy's (not sure what that was) but the wife and I couldn't find it . I guess they have a good HH (I've been told). Ended up at LOYAL LEGION and it was amazing. 100 taps of beer. Whiskey specials all week. Evan Williams BIB for $4 on Wed. I'm there. Jake took AMAZING care of us. Let us know where the kool kids in town hang out. We will definitely be back on our next trip up north. For my one follower, if you are in Portland, do stop here if you want a good time. Cheers read more

We learned about loyal legion through their new location the Portland airport Pdx. And we had to try their city location. And it is as good as it is at the airport. A beer house yes but as non beer drinkers you will enjoy it as well. First they have ice tea and lemonade so other than just fountain drinks this makes me happy. But who knows me I do not come for the drinks I'll come for the food and at loyal I'll stay for the food. They offer a nice selection of vegetarian options besides some burger and fried items. The vegetarian dogs are fantastic and so delicious. They even make a veggie corn dog. The salads are fresh and yummy. I had a burger with fig jam and goats cheese simply perfect. And we tried the pretzel with the spicy cheese sauce. It's not to spicy but have a nice kick. It doesn't burn your tongue so we definitely recommend it ordering with the cheese sauce. All in all they have a fair price and with them having a full bar and lots of beers there is no reason for you to not try it :) no excuse :) read more

Staff was pretty rude, very little seating unless you want to sit at the bar. Not good for groups unless you make a reservation.

My wife and I stumbled on this PDX bar recently while waiting for a flight to arrive. It's way up high above the fray and makes for good people watching as passengers arrive below. Hungry for a quick bite, we ordered burgers and drinks at the bar--the house smash burger (at $9, perhaps the best deal in PDX) and a monthly special burger with caramelized onions and cheese. Tots and fries on the side. Yum. Also ordered the house Old Fashioned that was stiff as hell. In short, it was all good and one of the best airport bars I've visited anywhere. (4.25 stars). read more

Seat yourself, but there are no clean tables. Had to look around, but couldn't find staff to clean a table, so ended up clearing somebody's dishes and wiping down the table myself. Nobody ever came to clean any tables while we were there. Went to the bar to order, stood where the "order here" sign is, only to be 100% ignored by the bartender (Christina has no business working in customer service) for no less than 4 minutes. Never made eye contact or acknowledged my presence, she was a miserable person. She walked by again and I finally asked if this is where I order, only to be given a nasty side eye and an unfriendly "uh huh". Apparently she works at Capers too, the poor place. All the staff seemed miserable. Took about 25 minutes for a chicken sandwich and corn dog. The corn dog was so burnt and messy I had to peel the scorched fried batter off most of it. Wasn't about to send it back as I'm sure somebody would do something gross to my food and have to wait another 25 minutes. I have eaten here before, and it was mediocre then too. I'll never be back on my frequent trips through that airport. I would avoid this place at all cost. read more

Came during week week with my husband expecting it to be wild, but we got to order right up at the bar. I was honestly thrilled to find a place with a vegetarian corn dog, so I ordered that and the fried cauliflower. Both were 10/10. The corn dog was the first one I've had in years and clearly fried fresh to order. The cauliflower was delightfully crispy and came with a house made ranch that I couldn't get enough of. The price was honestly really good, too! I sat outside with my dogs so I can't speak too much to the interior, but the vibe looked cozy with dim lighting and plants hanging from the ceiling. I think it'd make a good date night. I'll be back for another corn dog! read more

My completely-sane and non-belligerent group of friends came to eat and drink here after our mutual friends' wedding. Both the bride and groom were in attendance. We were just socializing and enjoying eachother. At approximately 11:20p (40min before closing) one of the female bartenders denied us anymore food or drinks because we were "drunk" (I wish we were-- mind you I'm typing this right after the experience we had). It completely tainted our experience here and i don't enjoy ordering with bartenders who treat customers this way. Only reason I gave 2 stars instead of 1 was because the first round of food we grabbed there was great. Be better, don't be ridiculous to customers. We just wanted a couple more drinks for our friends who had just arrived and some fries. read more

Service was terrible. The guy at the bar wasn't friendly at all. We also ordered "smashburgers" that were basically just thin patty burgers with no lace or smash to them. Fortunately, the patio is very nice for sunny days. read more

No bad things to say about Loyal Legion. Cheap drinks, good food, great ambiance and vibe.

I like the PDX location a lot. Its a great place to hang out while waiting for passengers to arrive. The smash burger and sweet potato fries are awesome. Great selection of brews.

More than ample selection of taps. Cozy enough digs. For food, only tried the cup of chili but major disappointment. If you like seasoned beef with a few black beans and a dash of cheese and chives on top, then maybe it's your thing. Service could be better- even on a Monday evening... (I'm a service industry person of almost twenty years) ...Each greeted me once but only to start the tab. I was never asked how things were going and I had to find them to get served a second time. I'd cruise through again but even my favorite dives pay more attention. read more

I love this place but every time I go it's understaffed. Waiting 20 minutes in a line by a HUGE bar is complete nonsense. Two bartenders ona food week (weiner week)? C'mon. We decided to close out rather than order another (and sorry, but the tip went down too). read more

Alaways love going to LL, their Taplist is always insane with bier goodness, their service is great and friendly and their food is always super tasty, McLoyal is the bomb-diggity of Smash burgers and don't kick the OP Frankfurter corndog, that's right. I wouldn't kick it out of bed.... read more

The good thing about Loyal Legion is the great assortment of beers. Really nice beer selection. The bad thing about LL is the truly underwhelming food. Okay, I know what you're saying - you don't go to a beer hall for food. But don't you? Beer and burgers. Pizza and beer. Grilled cheese sandwiches and beer. Come on the list goes on and on. With that - go for the beer, and eat before you get there. read more

This place does it right! Every brewery with 99+ beers on tap please take note and do it how Loyal Legion does! A flight of 8 beers?!?! Yes, please and thank you! Though this spot has the most beers on tap that I have ever seen, it does not give off tap room vibes at all. Instead, it gives off sleek and swanky bar vibes. We went for the beer so I didn't notice a cocktail list, but based on the number and type of liquor bottles they have in the bar, I'm assuming they could make almost anything. Loved that they had printed out menus with all the beers on tap listed, and numbered so you didn't have to cram the beer name into the little circle on the selection sheet. Beers were organized by style which made it as easy as it could be to make your selection....still hard though because they had so many to choose from. Pours were nice and big....much bigger than I expected to receive with 8 whole tasters, and that is not a complaint. If anything, it's a cautionary tale to order some food! I ordered fires and the others in my group ordered smash burgers, which were only $7 - maybe it's the Californian in me, but what a steal! I was lucky enough to get a bite of one of the burgers and damn were they good, I messed up not ordering one. Aside from the killer beer selection and food, the service was great. The bartenders were fun, friendly, and helpful, totally added to the experience. Only downside was that there isn't a ton of seating for groups. When we first got there we crammed into a two person table, once we realized the flights and food wouldn't fit we had to prowl around and wait for a bigger space to open up. read more

Enjoyed a long lunch with a dear friend after a short walk from our hotel. We were seated immediately, offered menus for food and beer. It was hard to make a decision.

This is a friendly neighborhood spot with lots of variety. read more

Loyal Legion - Fridaaayyyyy! - Gastropubs Near Me - Portland, Oregon

hi! I want to start this off by saying I'm a server bartender, and had gotten off of a 9 hour busy shift before coming from my local pub I work at. My friends and I came around 9, and it seemed pretty busy. Long story short, their was a super pretty bartender who was female presenting with red hair. She tells us that she in the only one on staff and to find a seat and she would be over. A little bit of an attitude, but I get it, they are busy. We waited for 20 mins, and ended up having to get our own menus. We then watched her help three new tables that had walked in after us. Not super cool, but I get it. Turns out there is another employee there, so she lied I guess? He takes our drink and food orders and was nice and timely. The drinks were good and our food came about 45-50 mins in. But it's busy, so I get it. The female presenting bartender brought us our food, and we realized it was missing an advertised item. It was the Irish fries, and it did not come with carrots. It was also kinda cold, but we chose not to say anything about that, so that's on me. That's not a big deal, but we ironically got it soley for the carrots. We ask for her to come back, and very politely tell her that we don't see any carrots and just if there was any way to check and see if we could get them on the side. No apology, except she said "I've never had it, I wouldn't know. it's a new special and has been here for two days". Okay and? Thats literally the same job I have, and I would have treated the situation so differently. She comes back, and tells us that they ran out. No offer to a different solution, no apology, just being rude and dismissive about it. I understand that our male server probably didn't know, and could have told us before we ordered with him, but we are still customers at the restaurant they BOTH work at, at the end of the day. Look, I'm usually a die hard 30% tipper and I only tipped 2$ on the tab. Since I work in the area, and in the industry, I myself have even recommended to customers at my job that I have heard good things about loyal legion and they should check it out. I was excited to, but the service time was so long and the attitude was not appreciated :( No longer will be recommending to my customers. read more

Great service, excellent cocktails, we love loyal legion. Parking can be hard but totally worth it

Ordered: -Fried wings -Buffalo Cauliflower -Chicken Sandwich Pro: -Fun vibes with plenty of beer on tap -Dog friendly inside & outside of bar Con: -Chicken Sandwich was dry -Chicken bites were hard due to being fried for too long -Had to wait 1hr and 20 minutes for the food. Checked in multiple times with the wait staff and were told that there was a 45 min wait for food, though they didn't tell us this when we ordered. Those who arrived after us received their food first, but the staff did not seem concerned... Turns out the ticket was lost. It was disappointing that while the staff said that they were sorry about the lost ticket, they didn't seem to care that we waited for 80 min and reached out to the staff multiple times before they checked to see if they even had our order ticket in the kitchen. read more

I have been here a few times. This might be the first time we grabbed some food. The burger we got was excellent. the tots were tasty. I was very happy with everything. Plus a solid whiskey list and great beer on tap. If you like beer, whiskey, and bar food, you are heading to the right spot. Ordering is a little messy, but not bad. I wouldnt mind a more formal ordering process, but honestly its a minor complaint. I highly recommend!! read more
