Genuinely my favorite brewery in Portland (which is really saying something). Beers are spectacular…read moreand the staff is excellent. 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.

If efficiency and good beer had a very cool, well-designed child, it would be Breakside Brewery…read moreSlabtown. This place somehow manages to feel laid-back and dialed-in at the same time. The standout feature for me was the QR code ordering system: scan, order, and close out your tab whenever you're ready, all from your phone. In a busy restaurant, this feels less like a gimmick and more like a small act of genius. No awkward eye contact trying to flag someone down, no waiting to pay while mentally calculating how close you are to just leaving cash and hoping for the best. That said, if you're not in the mood to embrace your phone as your server, the traditional route is still there. You can walk up to the bar or catch one of the servers floating around. It's a smart setup that solves the "we're busy and maybe a little understaffed" problem without making it your problem. Food-wise, I went with the meatball sub (on special). Handmade pork and beef meatballs, clearly done by someone who knows what they're doing, and the kind of sandwich that requires both commitment and a few extra napkins. No regrets. I paired it with the Breakside Pilsner, which landed comfortably on the higher end of "good"Not life-changing, but absolutely something you'd order again without hesitation, especially if you're settling in for a while. Overall, it's a place that feels like it understands how people actually want to eat and drink right now. Efficient without being cold, flexible without being chaotic, and just cool enough to make you feel like you picked the right spot.

Bridgetown Beerhouse wasn't empty but it also wasn't overly crowded like some other nearby places at this time of night. They have some outdoor seating along the store and in the converted street parking. Inside has bar seating with multiple taps and some round tops. TVs had the game on (which game? I don't know, I don't do sports. I just know people were watching and cheering). There are multiple fridges well-labeled with types of beer, which is what I went straight to. I took a while debating what I wanted - the bartender greeted me but didn't offer help choosing. That's fine, they were busy enough, but expect to be on your own here. I ended up finding some winners that I hadn't seen elsewhere so I'm pleased.

Food: ordered this tuna dish with this light sauce that was amazing. Licked that plate CLEAN. Also ordered the crispy chick sliders. I though the jam would be to much (and it IS slightly messy), but it was worth it. Chicken was cooked to perfection, had that nice crunch, buns were soft and buttery, and the jam gave a nice sweetness to each bite. Highly recommend. Keep up the good work Bantam

I recommend coming here, grabbing a beer and enjoying some of their menu items. THE FOOD We had the Reuben and the Greek Salad, chocolate chip cookies. Our group enjoyed pizza, the beet salad and the BLT as well. Everyone enjoyed the meal they ordered and there were 0 complaints. The portion sizes are nice, and the prices are even better. The salad portions for the 1/2 sandwich 1/2 salad combo was huge and I enjoyed every bite. THE DRINKS I tried the non-alcoholic hop water and that was a nice take on a NA drink. I enjoyed it when it was fizzy, and the free re-fill was nice. Later, we tried a custom beer flight, and it was nice to be able to customize the flight. The bartenders will help you craft a custom mix you are happy with. THE ATMOSPHERE Overall, it was lowkey, great atmosphere, the music wasn't too loud, prices were on point. Parking is somewhat easy to come-by depending on when you are rolling up. I would come back here again if I was in the area and I'd feel comfortable bringing a group of friends to gather here for games.
