Been coming here since 2010. My first experience was a Packers playoff game against the Cardinals. They lost, but it was still a fun time (even as a Bears fan). Mainly, I enjoyed being surrounded by fellow Midwesterners. Since then the ownership has changed, and I haven't been back for another football game. But, I have enjoyed multiple beer fests, tap takeovers, and quiet nights having a beer and food with friends. I LOVE Saraveza! The staff is friendly, the beer selection is top notch, and the food is very good. read more

Saraveza - Tavern style pizza - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Portland, Oregon

I've been to Saraveza now a couple of times. Each time has never disappointed. I like that it has a Midwest feel to it, and they have exceptional beer offerings, including both on tap and bottle selections from their coolers. They are also a full bar, and they make some fantastic cocktails. And being Midwest, they have some absolutely fantastic food. A couple of my recommendations would be, of course, the cheese curds as well as the poutine tots. If you've never been, give this place a try. They do offer some outdoor seating as well, which is nice for when the weather is warmer. read more

Honestly, I messed up not coming here sooner. The vibe is glorious and chill with tall ceilings and vintage decor. They have an outstanding selection of beers, both draft and can/bottles. Our server was amazing and the food was amazing, too. The gochujang brussels were a standout. Can't wait to come back. read more

I don't know if I would recommend this place. I was solo on a call enjoying my drink and was asked to step aside to take it even tho I was just a girlie on a call. I didn't feel like I was loud or anything but's doing my own thing but hey maybe it's just a different type of atmosphere. read more

The Midwest vibe posts are real! Living out in Michigan for 5 years prior to moving here, closest I've come to that. Great attentive service. Had a pierogi and was not disappointed. No Oberon on tap this time, but still had a great time! Cheese curds are a must, pierogis a must, Oberon a must (if they have it). I can feel the divey vibes, but honestly it's a bit higher tier than that. They have booths. Definitely recommend. read more

Corner neighbor dive bar at the west end of Killingsworth. Walls are a collage of beer brands from everywhere. Interesting draft list, not your typical local Oregon offers. Also unique finds in their coolers togo or to drink on site. The bar seating is lined with quiet singles sipping on their single pint for a long time. Sit in a secluded booth and look through the bottle cap table. The food was ok & a bit pricey, not expecting much so not disappointed much. read more

Home of the last $6 pint in Portland (not even happy hour!) Not only does this place drip with love for craft beer (place is a temple!), but it's comfortable and non-pretentious. I spoke with the bartender and they just run a formula on the cost of the keg and it spits out what they charge. So, yes, there were pints that cost more than $6, but the ethics in this place are off the charts. The coolers are sick as hell too. Such good, fresh packaged selection. I'm bummed that I live 20+ min away or else I'm not sure I'd drink anywhere else. This place is about as real as it gets. Cozy, great music, awesome selection and a new patio coming soon. Thanks folks read more

Cool Chicago/Wisconsin pub, good food the chicken sandwich is definitely the way to go. Not a huge taplist but a good one with a full range of offerings. Service was great, the ambiance was broken off on Midwest if you appreciate that, otherwise still a nice traditional pub. read more

Great neighborhood spot, beer selection, people and nice selection of snacks. Always a legit option for the footballs

Please, never miss an opportunity to drop in for delicious brews, and/or good food. I love to try Tap offerings while I find some to take home. Alone or with friends - it is worth your time. 72 and 4 Bus and Yellow MAX are so close. Thus time I walked from MLK, after the 6 bus and SE Tavs. This is how to Pub Hop and stay alive, my friends. Ask for a taste if unsure a bevvy is in your palate range. Cheers! read more

Craving fried chicken on a limited budget. Got a piece of amazing chicken along with a "I can't believe I'm drinking this " canned beer. But the food, service, and atmosphere here amazing! Got to watch golf too. Highly recommend and will return . And thanks to the bartender for intervening. read more

We ordered a radicchio salad, cheese curds and the porchetta sandwich with a side of macaroni salad. The radicchio was very coursely chopped to the point of awkward eating but I enjoyed the dressing. The cheese curds are what they are. The sandwich was ok and the macaroni salad was kinda bland but also had huge chunks of onion. Overall food was ok but seemed hastily prepared. The staff was good though and I like the homey neighborhood bar vibe of the place. read more

Excellent selection of sour beer and great atmosphere! Have been visiting ever since they hosted the Farmhouse Ale Festival years back.

Awesome place, bartenders are the best! Food is awesome! Draft and bottle/can selection is top notch! read more

Food is top notch, you can tell there is effort that goes into the ingredients on the menu. any of the sandwiches are fantastic, and the beer selection is top notch (a lot of it is bottled). anybody who carries Pliny the Elder has got my vote of confidence. read more

Seat warmers at their outside tables!! Hell yah, especially on a chilly evening. They have Russian river brewery aged sours, tons of cans inside and delightful bites. We had the Brussels and smoked brisket sando. Fries were great too. Parking is easy, there's even a parking lot across the street. Also checkout the plants at Solabee's a block East. read more

It is a Packer Bar. In Portland. What is not five star about that? It is also a real Portland bar, with all of the beers you could want, either on tap or bottle/canned. Plus, the prices are remarkably reasonable. Did I mention it is a Packer Bar? Not a sports bar, but a great Portland Bar that also has really good food. Not good bar food, but good food. Plus, Wisconsin worthy cheese curds. And did I mention it is a Packer Bar? read more

Visited here on a cold winter day and was very happy with the service despite the snowy weather. Ordered the Loaded Mash and oh Man did this fill us up! Take note, this can easily fill two people. Cheese curds were delish and the beer selection had several funny puns for Christmas in the names. read more

We arrived around 3:00 PM for a late lunch and decided to sit at one of Saraveza's patio tables since it was so nice out. We haven't eaten out since the pandemic began, but the patio is nice and spacious with more than enough space between tables and patrons to feel comfortable. The tables were thoughtfully topped with gas fire heaters, which added to the atmosphere and were a welcome addition when a breeze came through. Saraveza's menu rotates periodically, the selection currently available is very suitable for the current conditions. The items would hold up nicely if you plan to place an order for take home or enjoy outdoors. We ordered the Fried Chicken Sandwich with a side of potato salad, 2 Hungarian Sausage Links accompanied with sauerkraut and a brown and stoneground mustard, as well as a Nater Pasty filled with braised chuck, roasted potatoes, and root vegetables with a side salad. Everything was fantastic! The Fried Chicken Sandwich had a light and crunchy breading perfectly paired with bacon, lettuce, ranch, and Crystal Hot Sauce. The german-style potato salad was mustard based, very fresh and tangy. I'll have a hard time not ordering this next time I go. The Hungarian Sausage Links exceeded our expectations. The ground was a perfect texture and was incredibly moist. The flavor was excellent, a little bit of smoky and spicy with the perfect snap. We saved a link to take home, but the sauerkraut was promptly demolished before I returned to the table with takeaway boxes. The Nater Pasty was kind of a last second add on, but is not to be overlooked! I wish we had gotten another one to go. The pastry crust was buttery, light, flaky and baked to a beautiful golden brown. The filling was generous and well-balanced, with a healthy portion of braised chuck. The side salad was a simple spring mix with an oil vinaigrette that helped offset the rich, buttery pasty. The first thing you'll probably notice when walking into Saraveza are the 2 teal green beer fridges against the walls. The decor inside the restaurant is bright and fun with so many little things to look at, but what's inside the fridges is the real star! They have one of the better beer selections we've seen in the area. It definitely felt like they had something for everyone and a great selection of local brands. We decided to go with the Tieton Cider Works Bourbon Barrel Peach Cider. Tieton Cider Works has been a favorite of ours since moving here and this one is one of their best in our opinion! A nice fruity flavor with a little edge from being aged in the bourbon barrels. Definitely recommend! We received a gift card to Saraveza from some friends for Christmas, and what a gift it turned out to be! As a heads up, if you plan to use a gift card yourself, they must be redeemed inside the restaurant through their POS system. read more

Dear god, I love this place. But I'm also writing this tipsy from their Drekker Triple Berry sour... But also facts. This place never disappoints (even the time we ordered too many cheese curds that we thought we were going into cardiac arrest). DO try the Drekker Berry sour if it's in stock (or check out some of their other rare find sours and ciders!). DO get the brisket sandwich or else what are you doing?? I've never foodgasmed as much as I do after one sour in and take my first bite of this juicy MF! DO get the cheese curds to share (like maybe 3 people per order or else you might just KO). Anyways. Come here. Come now... read more

While I normally am not impressed with bar food, I am from the Midwest so this place hits home. I love their cheese curds and the porchetta sandwich! There is even vegan options which give the place a little Portland twist. I have a hard time finding unique bar food but this place is really special. The service was great and felt like I was back home at a local bar. Very hospitable and the atmosphere is great for a late night drink. read more

i know i've reviewed this place already, but i wanted to update my review because i finally tried the portabella burger. y'all, this is an exceptional delicious sandwich. the toum on it is ace and the kimchi just adds some umami without being distracting. i've had it twice now and it is just so very delicious. the spouse got the fried chicken sandwich the other day and i tried that as well - it was SO GOOD but my first choice is the portabello sandwich now. read more

Came here on our walk back home. Stopped in and this place was Poppin. Tried to sit inside but made us sit outside since baby who was two months old didn't have a vaccine proof. Even after saying it's impossible for my daughter to get one it didn't really matter and we had to go outside. Kind of hilarious to be honest and it didn't bother us. Food was solid. The beer/bottle selection is fantastic here as well. Took home some beers and they paid off when we got back to our arbnb. Definitely recommend this place. It's a cool neighborhood bar and restaurant. I would definitely be a regular if I lived nearby. Definitely recommend checking it out. read more

Good food, one of the best beer selections in the city. Glad I stopped by love seeing ASB and Humble Sea in cans. read more

I've been here a handful of times and enjoyed every one. They have an amazing beer selection with plenty of local options. I originally went there because they have cheese curds on the menu and my Minnesota heart could not pass them up and they were delicious. The next time I went I had the Mac and cheese and it was SO GOOD! It's also huge, so it's a great option to share:) read more

I had the fried cheese curds. Perfectly cooked and not greasy. Service was fast and friendly. Easy to find parking and the atmosphere inside was very chill. read more

Excellent place. The people here know what they're talking about. Had a great chat with the guy running the show about the history of a brewery space in town. Stark contrast with a brewery I visited where the server didn't know what IBU meant. I'm not a snob but I appreciate when others appreciate the craft. Saravesa appreciates the craft. Perfectly curated tap list. Food's fine but is that why you came? read more

Great beer selection in the fridges and consistently solid tap list. My go to order is fries and a brew. The outdoor set up is awesome! Heated seats and warmth at most outdoor tables. read more

I didn't eat here - so qualify this review with that. We just picked up beer to go and that was mucho fun!

Saraveza - Our selection of beers to go, all cold from a cooler. - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Saraveza had a small rotating draft list that always has new great beers on tap. They also have the best bottle options in the area. They also have a fairly small food menu but every single item on the menu is fantastic. My go to favorites are the fried chicken sammich and the brisket sammich. Can't recommend this place enough. I do wish they brought back their eggplant sammich so my fiancé would let us come here more often (limited vegan options here). read more

Came here with some girlfriends for dinner and drinks. They have a super nice covered outside area on the street that is equipped with mini fire bars on their outside tables and seat warmers which were super clutch. Also the easy to use online ordering system was a nice touch that I wish other places would implement. Once we learned how to do it, it worked out really well! The food was decent, had a traditional pasty and their German style potato salad. Fairly ok selection of beers on tap. Didn't adventure inside to see their bottle selection. Would definitely come back again for the warming methods and great service! read more

A wonderful little restaurant off I-5. My wife and I stop by because of their Pasty's. A big selection of brews and food. Very comfortable atmosphere. The pasty's are well made and reminds me of my Welsh coal mining roots where we had a family recipe that is similar too my great grandmothers. The staff was very helpful. Oh BTW the restroom were very clean. Thanks for a the experience, we will be back. PS: parking across the street was available. read more

Saraveza - Pasty, yummy - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Visiting from Milwaukee, it was great to visit a Midwestern bar that plays Packer games. We showed up to enjoy the game, and found it packed to the brim with other Packer fans. As someone who doesn't frequent bars for football games, it was a fun change of pace. They've got loads of beers and they are in coolers for you to grab yourself. You just take the can up to the bar to be opened for you and pay. As for the beer on tap, they give you a sheet which outlines the movement from one keg (until it's tapped out) to what will be opened next. It was kind of fun to move along to something new, luckily I wasn't set on one beer. I was hesitant when I saw they had cheese curds on their menu, as a lot of Wisconsinites can be about quality. Thankfully I can report, they make some damn good Wisconsin quality curds. Well done, our table annihilated two orders! We also ordered the deviled eggs, which are served on a pickle slice. They were a great choice as well. Only thing that would have improved the experience, were additional tv's for better viewing and having a server come around to take orders instead of fighting through the crowds every time you needed something. read more

A Wisconsin bar with pasties??!?! Tons of awesome Blatz and Schlitz items on display. However, Saraveza is waaay too nice to be deemed a "Wisconsin Bar". The windows are large, and allow the sun to come in.. hahaha While I'm loving the gourmet pasties at Saraveza, I like my pasties OG: rutabaga, potato, meat, dry, and full of appreciation for miners in the upper peninsula who carried them in their lunch boxes. My mom was actually appalled when I told her about the "gourmet pasties". The Michigan Ave charcuterie is where it's at. So.Much.Meat. Two mustards, the thickest bacon, brisket and a brat. The pickled veggies were excellent. Even though they had Hamms tap handles, only a fine selection of craft beer is served. I'll be back to try the pasties, and I won't be telling my mom about it! read more

Saraveza is my go to spot when I need a beer and a hearty dinner. Their beer selection is unmatched and they have some darn good fried chicken. Everyone is always so friendly, even when they're short staffed. They're ordering system also makes everything so easy. read more

I love this place. A great bottle selection, some of their staff are super friendly, and they upped their food game to a point that is really quite unbelievable. Yet, here we are, eating deviled eggs, duck confit frisée salad, and hanger steak with horseradish mashed potatoes which are just as addictive as crack. So.... I ask you, have you, beer lover, come to Saraveza to drink great beer and eat good food? What's more, have you come to watch the Green Bay Packers with all the other fans in Portland? I am never here for that, as I am a Bears fan, and I am sworn to scorn the Packers, so you know.... if all this is true and I am still giving this place five stars.... you know it's gotta be good. read more

This place is wildly unique and I dig it very much. They have all sorts of beer, cider, wine, etc from the can as well as tap. I could spend a nice chunk of time in there just looking through it all. My favorite part of this place though has to be the cheese curds - as someone who has been to Wisconsin quite a bit, and is dating a 'sconie - we know good curds when we have them. These are the best we've ever had outside of Wisconsin, easy. All the other food was delicious too - especially the friend chicken sando with the potato salad. I love me a potato salad sans mayo ant this one was it. Super light, vinegar forward, not mayo & perfect. I am looking forward to my return visits and those curds! read more

This is billed as a "Midwestern bar" serving pasties. Four of us with decades of midwestern living and specifically, Michigan Upper Peninsula residence, tried their drafts, pasties and fish fry. The drafts were excellent, with 11 different ones offered each night. When one keg is finished they move on to tapping the next brew (to the right on the draft menu). The cheese curds were decadently delicious with a unique dipping sauce. While the pasties were good, not great, they were not authentic. The fish fry featured cod instead of the typical midwestern lake perch, walleye or whitefish and was very disappointing. read more
