The Record Pub is your one-stop shop for new and used rock-based records and tapes, vintage stereo equipment and Northwest-focused beer, cider, wine and assorted beverages served in our pub area or taken to-go. I dropped in today on my daily walk and I'm so impressed with what I saw! They the layout of the store is fantastic and easy to find and browse the records. So many records store have the records jampacked and it's incredibly time-consuming to go through to find what you're looking for or just browsing is a pain. That is not the case here as you will see by my pictures! There are so many records to choose from and they are constantly adding to their inventory. Today they have six beers on tap, one cider and they offer wine by the glass. I also have a case where you can pick up beard to go or drink it in house for a small corkage fee. I had a nice chat with the owners and look forward to chatting with them again soon. I wish The Record Pub an abundance of success and plan on stopping after work to have a refreshing drink!

She was friendly and welcoming. And she made great drinks. I had a couple of whiskey sours (made with real egg whites) and my wife had something I don't remember what the name was, but she liked it. We only ordered tater tots. We didn't have a lot of time and the menu was limited due to it being burger week. The tots were great. Nice and crispy and served with some ranch. And good ranch, none of that bottled crap. We live in Vancouver, but we will definitely visit again!

Didn't get the chance to try any of the food. Seating looks pretty limited due to the size of the house, but I heard there's a patio out back. Definitely will be coming back soon.

After eating amazing vendor food, supporting local artists and small businesses, grabbing little trinkets, and picking up flower bouquets for loved ones, this is always one of my favorite spots to end the day. The atmosphere here is just different in the best way possible. Hip, modern, relaxed, and right next to the river with nice outdoor seating to soak up some sunshine. It is the perfect place to sit down with a drink, read a book, get homework done, or catch up on some business while enjoying the vibes. The bartenders have always been super kind and welcoming every time I stop by. One of the coolest parts is being able to grab your own glass and pour your own drinks. Their selection is awesome too. Lots of great beers and ciders from all over the Pacific Northwest. I really appreciate that they support smaller breweries and real people instead of only big corporate brands. Overall, highly recommend stopping by if you are in the area. Amazing atmosphere, tasty booze, and a genuinely great local spot to unwind.

A great little neighborhood publik house. Coming out of NY, we had no publik houses and was…read morepleasantly surpirsed by these very local and welcoming establishments. The Muddy Rudder can hold it's head high in this arena. The interior has a great feel as an impressive log tabletop stretches out before you when one first enters. The bar is a nice, old wooden bar with the establishment giving a very warm embrace with it's rustic decor and charm. They have outside seating, both street side and in a side patio. As for the beer selection, they do a very good job curating. For example, until recently, one could almost count on there being an import beer on tap. They also do a good job of having a wide variety of styles, they have one on pull tap (if you are unfamiliar, give it a try - you will be glad you did) and they are constantly rotating with truly local brews. They also have a chalkboard which lists all the brews, their ABV and frequently the IBUs. There are 16 rotating taps. Kudos to the person running this part of the operation. As for the food, I have never been disappointed and I have eaten here frequently. I am a sucker for their strombolis. In NY, strombolis were a go-to meal at a pizzeria, but they are few and far between in the PNW. Not only does The Muddy Rudder have strombolis, they also make them in the true stromboli tradition. Do note that the pizza dough here is as close to NY as I have found in Portland, which obviously means try the pizza as well - it is very good. They then offer other food options which have also always only pleased. Do give this spot a visit - you will not be disappointed.

Parking was easy on the adjacent streets and bathrooms were clean. Decor was so fun and must be witnessed in person! This is a cozy place with an invigorating ambiance and an irrefutable sense of familiarity. Highly recommended for an old fashioned adventure near the Sellwood bridge. Enjoy!

Growing up, I spent a fair amount of time around fire stations…read more My Dad was a firefighter. As a kid, that meant climbing around the trucks, knowing the difference between a fire truck and a fire engine, screwing around in the long-gone handball court down at Station 1, and thinking firefighters were basically superheroes. Strong. Brave. Fearless. And sporting absolutely bad ass mustaches. (For those of you who don't know, a fire truck carries the ladders, and a fire engine carries the hose. Trust me, firefighters are very particular about the distinction. They're also surprisingly proud of hose size. Honestly, who doesn't want to ride in the vehicle with all the hose.) There was a period in American history where every firefighter looked like he was either fighting a five-alarm blaze or auditioning to be the next Dirk Diggler. Thick. Powerful. The kind of mustache that could put out a five-alarm blaze and still have enough left in the tank to offer free mustache rides to the neighborhood ladies. It was magnificent. So, when I heard pFriem was opening a brewery in Milwaukie's old firehouse, I knew I had to check it out. Not for the mustache rides, mind you. At this stage in life, I'm not offering them for free and I'm not looking to ride one. Not in this economy. The old firehouse has been transformed into an incredible space. Too many historic buildings get remodeled into something so generic that it could just as easily be a bank, the office for the city of Milwaukie, or a luxury apartment leasing center. Or they become a McMenamins. Not this place. The massive doors, high ceilings, and creative use of the firepole (without turning it into a strip club)...it still retains some of the charming characteristics of a firehouse. Just one where the emergency now involves deciding whether my liver can handle one more pint. And speaking of beer, pFriem is pFriem. Easily one of my top 5 favorite breweries. Plus, the food is excellent. Years ago, firefighters gathered here waiting for the next alarm. Later it became city offices, which is admittedly a less exciting use of a firehouse. Today, people gather here for great beer, good food, and conversation. Honestly, that's a pretty great third act for an old building. Five stars. Still no mustache rides, though.
