Visited for PDX Sandwich Week. The customer service was amazing and the food was delish. The restaurant was not crowded, so there was plenty of space to sit without feeling packed in like sardines. There are both inside and outside seating options. I recommend and will visit again. read more

This is my favorite location for Migration Brewing. Huge indoor dining section, seats at the bar, and a HUGE, beautiful outdoor patio out back with lots of plants, flowers, and shrubs, giving it a backyard garden feel. The patio has both covered & uncovered seating, and heaters, with a variety of seating with picnic tables and Adirondack chairs. Food at this location is run by another place, and their good is really good. Friendly service. Decent variety of beers, but they don't appear to post their live taplist online, which is a bit disappointing. Their website does list what beers they make, just no specifics as to what's currently on tap at each location, so if you're hoping to try a specific beer, it might not be available. They were out of the beer I wanted, by luckily the beertender recommended another dark beer they have, and it was good. read more

I came here and hung out in the patio area with a meetup group. I like that this place is very chill and had good vibes. I ordered a cider. Note they had a few options but all in cans. It's a brewery so it was nice for gluten free peeps to have some choices. I believe I saw a cocktail menu but don't quote me. Haha They also serve food here but I didn't eat. It looked good from what I saw. There is on the street parking and true to Portland fashion is hit or miss. read more

If you have a service dog, you will have to argue with the staff to prove they are a service animal. Told the staff my dog was a service animal and they responded by saying no emotional support animals allowed (which my dog is not). Really embarrassing for myself as I had to explain everything in front of my friends. read more

I swung by Migration Brewing to try out the beers as I was in the neighborhood and wanted to try out another portland brewery. I enjoyed the experience; I had a flight of IPAs and wheat beers, they were good. The space was very large, and bartender was friendly. read more

I really wanted this place to be great but man is it terrible. One employee working and one cook. Asking for 30% tips for counter service and some of the slowest cooking I've had in a while and then these airport looking $8 fries. The owner should be ashamed. Edit: ate the burger. Probably top 10 worst burgers I've ever had and that includes McDonalds read more

My sister and I were in the area and happened to stumble on Migration Brewing. We were drawn in by its warm and welcoming vibe. The brewery was very spacious with lots of indoor seating and outdoor as well. Their entire menu looked solid. Migration Brewing had a stacked IPA list, but I saw that they also offered cocktails and other libations. Their food menu looked good too though we didn't grab a bite at the time. My sister got the "Good Morning Coffee Stout," which was so smooth, creamy and coffee forward. It honestly was more like a nitro cold brew to me than a stout. Lastly, customer service was excellent. We were greeted and served by the nicest bar staff member, who also was the main point of contact in the entire place that afternoon. He sure held down the fort with all the occupied tables and bar stools. read more

The food was amazing accidentally ended up here rather than the Southeast store and were thrilled with the food and atmosphere

In the area with family after flying in this afternoon, spent $73 on our carne asada fritanga plates and a children's maduro con gallo pinto. It's now been 1.5 hours and still haven't received our food. read more

It was okay... the food was good! The service was average. But the ambiance OMG!! It is soooo loud!

Had the Migration Burger which was great. Staff was super friendly and helpful. Space offers a variety of environments (large back patio with covered and uncovered portions, indoor seating, and sidewalk seating). Didn't have a problem with bike parking right out front and if needed there is a larger rack near the intersections. read more

Came here for Sparkle and Shine Drag Brunch hosted by Nicole Onoscopi and was not disappointed! There isn't a bad seat in the house, the performers are dancing and twirling all throughout the tables. I love that they have cocktail options and not just beer. The showstring fries were amazing, other food was good but not great. I would definitely go back! read more

Was craving a burger and finally decided to stop try this place out. Online ordering was very easy and food was piping hot and ready at the time it was supposed to be. Friendly staff and I loved the shoestring fries too! Can't believe how big the burger was and the generous portion of fries all for just $10! Definitely coming back for more! read more

The family and I love this spot. We have a little one and this place is really good for kids. They have a decent kids menu, as well as good options for sides; apple slices and veggies in addition to fries, as well as all-natural juice and milk. Their food for parents is solid pub fare - good burgers, great fries, and a variety of bowls, salads and wraps. Add in that their beer is both excellent and well-varied (a half dozen seasonal and co-op IPAs rotate through their standards in addition to pilsners and porters, stouts and sours) and this place is a win. We hit it about once a week. One other note: I noticed a few reviews commenting on snarky remarks towards kiddos from the staff. We also encountered this for a while this past year, over the summer. There was one server in particular that was outright rude to our kid and we heard similar complaints from other parents we know in the neighborhood. That employee no longer works at this location and since they left, we've had no further negative encounters. read more

We came here to drink and kill time while we waited for a table at Eem across the street. It was a Monday and there was a long line when we arrived around 12:30 pm. We waited about 15 mins. After we were seated, there was practically no lines. A lot to people were seated outside and only 1 person was inside. We decided to sit indoors since no one was close to out the table we chose and there's no other tables outdoors available. They serve everything here. There's food, beer, wine, cocktails. There was also a lot of hazy IPAs and some other types. We got a flight of beers to try for about $16. Friendly beer-tenders. read more

I always go for lagers. And only two type of lagers in this Brewery. I ordered Me time light pilsner(lager). As the name says, very light flavor, which I love. The cashier was super nice. To anyone who want to enjoy beers shortly, I highly recommend this place read more

Oh looks it's me reviewing another brewery in the neighborhood:). Ok so migration brewery has a couple of bright spots one of them is the outdoors patio! Loved sitting out there while eating lunch. The beer is always good can never complain about that. My server was always asking if things were good so she was very helpful. Second bright spot is the the food. I had one of the best pub burgers to date and that's saying something since I stay visiting brewery's. One of the best parts is it's also close to my GF job so points for that also :). read more

Not a place for children. We've gone here for the last few years, typically on Thursday nights after our kickball games at Irving Park. Our group will range from 6 to 16, and historically we have had a great time. The back outdoor space is nice, especially around 7pm on a nice summer day. We showed up tonight, ordered at the bar (both food and drink), and grabbed two of the larger tables outside for 9 of us. Apparently kids aren't allowed to play outside in their large back gravel space anymore, at least according to the black bearded busser who was running dishes from the outside? The first time he told our 5 year old directly, and then when one of our teammates was playing hide and go seek with our 5 year old and 3 year old, he asked her and our kids to stop again. Something about all kids need to have a person 21 and older with them, which we were on the patio close by to where they were playing, and one of our over 21 folks in our party was playing hide and seek with them. A real bummer as this has been our go to spot for a number of years after our summer league, even back when it was HUB. Not sure if the guy was just in a bad mood or what, but guess we have to find another spot that is kid friendly for our Team after our games in NE Portland. read more

I have been a huge fan of Migration Brewery since they opened their flagship brewpub on Glisan Street in early 2010 and I've been super stoked to watch the progression of the transformation of the space on Williams in the closed Hopworks BikeBar. They opened last night! (March 8, 2021) The location is beautiful and spacious. The indoor has big screen TV and gorgeous tables - well spaced out for social distance precautions. Outdoor patio is very nicely done - it is covered and heated. Plenty of spacing for safety measures. The tap selection and food menu looks fantastic. I will be back later this week to enjoy some beer and food! And add more to my review. Yesterday I tried their new sour beer - Raspberry Squeeze - it's not only beautiful to look at - it's delicious - and lives up to its description of a fruity aroma complemented by lemon tartness I also tried the Mo-Haze-IC. It's a beautiful hazy IPA with tropical flavors. We also enjoyed the rotating table bacon and the cornmeal onion rings. The bacon of the day was flavored with garam masala - very tasty! You get six pieces of bacon for $12. Very reasonably priced. The cornmeal onion rings are delicious - we devoured them and needed a second ramekin of the delicious chipotle aioli. This location is absolutely beautiful. Great beers. Great food! I'll be back soon! read more

Decent IPA selection but that's about it. Service was good enough and everyone working was really sweet however they seemed understaffed and flustered when not directly working with a customer. One of the pilsners I had was $8 at a brewery. Mac n cheese and a pint came out to $22 before tip! Just lacking creativity in beer, food, and ambiance. read more

The other two migration sites have been go to stops for us for a long time. This is in the old HUB location but it's fantastically renovated. Familiar staff from the other two locations are doing an excellent job upon opening very busy and our food took about 1 beer whatever that means to you. If you are putting your food on a clock go to McDonald's. If you want great beer, great food, and a solid atmosphere go to migration. This isn't the place to go if you are trying to feed your crying baby and 2 toddlers accept your life for what it is now netflix and burger king. I have kids not being rude I just think some people need a reality check. This migration location is awesome drink beer, eat fried chicken, and stop crying so much. read more

The beer was very good. The food was simple, fresh and well made. Service was friendly... it was walk up and order, and staff brings the food out. A very common model for service these days. read more

This place has a great outdoor space with a tent that has see throughout spots for the sun. Nice heaters and fire pits when it gets cold. Very kid and dog friendly too. The beer was great, but the menu is pretty IPA heavy. We went in a group of 4, and I ordered chicken strips, which were very good. The shoestring fries were crisp, and the chicken wasn't too heavily breaded. The other orders were a Caesar salad with crispy chicken which was a good portion, and the chicken was amazing (so I was told). The others ordered the pretzel which looked amazing, and the seasonal salad. I rated it 4 star because it was supposed to be a watermelon season salad, and it came out with squash instead. They had not indicated the seasonal salad ingredients had changed from what was on the menu. This is also a place if you go to watch football go on a rainy day because the only tv's are inside and large space. However, overall was great food, great space, and great location. read more

Awesome bar! Really liked the service, has a massive back patio, great beer and food! I would recommend this and definitely coming back! read more

Went there today for Wing Week and after ordering and paying for my food the cashier yelled "really no tip!?" loud af. Keep in mind I gave a generous 25% tip. SO unprofessional! I was so confused I had to ask again what he said bc who really yells that LOL. Never that serious. The manager ended up talking to the guy which he never apologized or nothing. Definitely won't be going back. read more

We were visiting the area for a few days and stumbled across this place. The beers and food were so delicious. We ended up coming here every night. Devin helped us out every day we went. He was so friendly and gave us suggestions on near by places to check out. We will definitely come back to this brewery the next time we are in town. read more

This used to be a great Hopworks. Maybe the beer is great, but the food isn't. The staff were super friendly and welcoming. The menu is quite short. My friend and I both ordered hamburgers, she with salad, mine with fries. The meat was medium quality, gristly, the bun unusual. The trimmings were fine and the fries, as well. For my first restaurant experience since March of 2020, this was disappointing. We agreed we wouldn't go back. We saw two friends there and they like the food, so depends on what one chooses. read more

This has been my new go to watering hole. Pretty decent size patio and good selection of food and beer.

Excellent renovation of the old Hopworks space. Nicely spaced out and the patio is HUGE! Enjoyed the cheesesteak sando and onion rings. I've enjoyed their beer for years and having another location close by makes it even easier! If you like coffee try their nitro coffee stout it incredible! read more

Great service here. Nice patio. Closes before the inside due to neighbors. Very respectful place. All the thumbs up.

Fantastic space with huge accommodating patio and standout bites. Beer has always been solid and now the food really shines! Veggie options, top notch burger, cornmeal onion rings and don't miss dessert (choco terrine). Kudos to the crew! read more

Unfriendly, terrible, slow service. Asked to order and she said yeah, but then kept clearing glasses under the bar and putting a tray together. No acknowledgment after the initial. Ordered a dirty Shirley and the bartender laughed and asked me to order something else. Decided not to dine in. read more

Portland parents who have long known this prime NE space as Hopworks BikeBar will have their hearts drop as soon as they enter this new, cold, unwelcoming embodiment. Once upon a time -- before COVID shuttered its doors -- Hopworks BikeBar was a neighborhood place full of color, energy, warmth and phenomenal customer service. The waitstaff would remember your favorite orders, would bring the kids little soft serve ice cream cones, and would always earn every cent of their 30% tip I would love to grant them. Migration has taken that jovial, family-friendly haven and turned it into another cold, industrial-styled, Portland brewery with lazily-scattered tables and the absolute minimum of customer service. The scowling manager, counting receipts at a back table (so professional), barked at my 70-year-old mother to put on her mask one step inside the door. I mean, BARKED. Due to that first impression, we should have left. Lucky for Migration, we were hungry. It didn't get much better. Unfortunately, it's yet another Portland BrewPub that has decided to skimp on staff and consumer experience by taking orders exclusively at the bar, dolling out numbered flags with all the charm of a supermarket deli. This is a Portland trend which has never made sense to me -- and the only one I tolerate is The Old Gold in North Portland which offers a much friendlier staff, much better and more inventive menu, much better patio, and a much better bar, period. But, I digress. Migration's beer is good and their food was okay -- but certainly nothing outstanding nor worth returning to. And, we won't. For the cheap seats, I did some quick math; when BikeBar was open, I spent (on average) $4,160 per year for my family to happily dine there on a near-weekly basis. Tell us, Migration Brewing, what is hospitality and great service worth to your bottom line? Because I can simply get your canned beer at Fred Meyer's. read more

I've been going to Migration on Glisan for years and was excited to go to the new location. Unfortunately, I was very disappointed by my experience there tonight. Our food took over an hour and fifteen minutes to arrive, and the waiter was unquestionably rude. The waiter (in the pink hoodie on 3/23) didn't even bother to say sorry despite them losing our order. The food was okay-- but the experience was awful! read more

Great service, beer and food. Large outdoor seating and patio area. Several vegetarian options that are really tasty.
