Good brews by Waltz, a variety of guest taps and comfy, diverse seating make Waltz a great local option in Forest Grove! The rocking chairs by the stove are great. They also have live music during the week and bring food carts in. This is a great spot to unwind and is conveniently located very close to the 57 bus stop to get back to Hillsboro/Beaverton. My pint was only $6 on a Saturday afternoon. I'll be back when in Forest Grove! read more

I really enjoyed our recent trip to Forest Grove and loved hitting up the small community of breweries that we had on our list to try. Waltz Brewing was one of those breweries and it was a really good experience! We loved how the taproom was set up and like the garage chic type of atmosphere that was going on there. The brewery mostly had guest taps but there werena few beers of their own that they had. I got their Multitudes With Blueberries which was a Wild Ale. A type of ale I wish I'd come across more often. Flavor features with this beer are fruity, sweet, a little sour and of course the presence of a Blueberry flavor. The beer was nice and light bodied which as I have said before at this point in time really appreciate to have more often. read more

Waltz Brewing - I enjoyed the Wild Ale, Multitudes of Blueberries! - Breweries Near Me - Forest Grove, Oregon

It's got a rustic garage/man cave feel to it. Pot belly stove is great on cool evenings. Nice selection of beer, their own products are very good. Nice people. read more

A great local tap room and brewery. Seating inside and out, enough for a group. Bartenders are friendly, educated on beer styles, and happy to let you taste. It is not a restaurant but you are welcome to bring in your own food, purchase their snack items or take advantage of the food cart out front, when available. Live music sometimes and Trivia on Tuesdays. One of our local favorites. read more

Waltz is a friendly place with great beer and service. The food carts on the weekends make the experience even better. Their interior decor makes it easy to relax and feel like you're having a beer in your neighbor's garage. read more

Great neighborhood meeting place. Often live music and food trucks on Friday or Saturday. Vast array of beers, most locally made.

Great beer and service. We came to visit the Cousin Lobster truck but stopped in for a beer and pleasantly surprised at the wonderful service and really good beer. The owner was friendly and recommendation was perfect. We will definitely be back! read more

Great Service with wonderful selection of brews and N/A options. Great Trivia night as well on Tuesdays.

Waltz has such a wholesome atmosphere to it. The owners Ian and Sam are so welcoming and very hands on owners. The live music was great and the Sue's taco truck was out front serving amazing tacos. Live music, cold beer, fresh tacos. Was an absolutely amazing night read more

Who would have guessed this was so hip. A warehouse on the backside of nowhere, where they roll open the garage door and serve beer... lots of beer. they even have IPA. they have 5 ciders for the ladies, and old school soda's that scream quality. it got busy after 7pm, as several folks came walking in from the area. a real little gem. You can bring in your own food to have with your beverage. they do not serve food. And by the way, happy birthday to the bar tender! read more

Great night at Waltz, this tap house never disappoints. Amazing diversity and inclusiveness that makes everyone feel comfortable. The live music tonight was Mule on Fire and they were awesome! read more

If I exclusively lived in Forest Grove, this place would be a five star brewery. Unfortunately, I no longer live in this quiet hamlet a stone's throw from the brewery juggernaut of Portland, OR. I found the configuration of this place very un-feng shui. It's a big L shaped affair with seating for many in the lower part of the L, and chairs facing a wall in the long part of the L. Perhaps visiting in the nicer weather would help me to appreciate the seating arrangement better, when I can utilize the outdoor seating area. But let's talk about the beer. I tried their Kolsch, which was very good. I inquired about their bitter, which the bartender said was a bit of a misnomer. He graciously let me try a sample, and it definitely didn't taste like a bitter. Their Conifer IPA was terrible. It tasted like they hadn't cleaned their lines in too long. It might have been an off batch, but it definitely didn't have a piney aroma, and I had a hard time finishing it. Their Oatmeal Stout was too sweet. Every pint the bartender poured looked like the picture I included. There wasn't even a head to evaporate, he just poured a short pint. I wanted to love it here, but I had a bad experience. read more

Nice big open doors, friendly dogs wandering around, good live music with Outbound Traveler, and good beer. No food but I guess they have had it's trucks/carts at one time or another. read more

Oh my gosh - yesssss. You miggghhhttt have to be a Pacific Northwesterner to understand how f$&@ing epic this place is. But I urge all others to jump on board and see it for what it is - this place is perfect for beers, warmth, friends and conversation. What else could you possibly need? Food? They let you BYOF (bring your own food). You mean I can take my bag of Doritos and eat them while I drink beer? F$&@ing Genius. read more

Waltz Brewing - :) - Breweries Near Me - Forest Grove, Oregon

oh ... as a wine or vodka lover in a beer drinking state... it is hard to find places you are totally comfortable but Waltz is perfect. The place is warm and the staff is outgoing and fun. A ton of beer to choose from (20 or so), cider options as well as a red and white wine. I stick with the white wine and taste the occasional beer or cider if someone recommends it. Giant Jenga ....interesting record selection for sale... some days have live music (a bit too loud if you are looking for an intimate evening) and others are just chill conversation nights. You can bring your own food, which is helpful since a bottle of wine begs for some snacks to go with it ^_^ All in all, if I am in Forest Grove, I am likely at Waltz. read more

The Hoppy habits of Home Brewing have finally came to light. Once a dream and now a reality Waltz has finally taken off, although the hand crafted beers crafted by the owners has yet to start flowing. They do have a great array of local brews for your taste and enjoyment. Stop by and listen to some classy vinyl(which can also be bought) and quench your thirst!! Prost!! read more

The 2 stars is because they serve beer. The woman behind the bar was immediately unfriendly and not helpful when looking for a beer to order. Not once did I see her smile and I felt like I was bothering her when ordering a beer. The environment puts off barn party and not an establishment qualified to be labeled a brewery. The whole place just felt unfinished, unkept and disorganized. The sour I ordered was just ok. When I ordered their sour the bartender snarled "which one"... needless to say, my family, myself, and my friends will not be back to this building that has beer and will frequent other breweries in the area. read more

This is a really comfortable place no drama and great beer. Only drawback is the lack of food, but a great pizza truck parks out front. Good music and good times. read more

What do 21 taps and 3000 33lp's have in common? Waltz Brewing of course... A fun little taproom with the biggest taster tray you'll ever see! You can try all 21 taps for a dollar a taste, all named, all on one tray. Now that's diversity. With the same amount of diversity, browse the many bins of classic albums; peruse covers featuring more shag hairdos and cheekiness than an Austin Powers movie. While I enjoyed the live music, it made it hard to have a conversation with friends as the space is small and full of hard surfaces. A small criticism at least. A summertime patio. Friendly staff. Bring your own food and/or wine (for a reasonable corkage fee). It all adds up to a great addition for Forest Grove. read more

Love going in for a drink, great environment and great music when it's there! Employees are very nice and knowledgeable. Trivia is very fun and everyone always seems to have fun there! read more

Almost don't want to review this place in order to keep it quiet. Over 20 taps and a few other options. You won't find anything in at a brew pub in PDX that you can't find at Waltz, except maybe higher price (or something on nitro). The staff is great and are generous with sampling to make sure you get what you want. Can't forget about about the hot dog cart on Friday nights. I can not emphasize the importance of trying the Homemade Sriracha Mayo on whatever tubed meat creation you decide to get. The music is always great, live or not. Tons of old records for sale. It's truly an oasis in the middle of the desert that is FG. read more

LOVE this place. Every time I go, I wonder why I don't go more often. I'm a beer snob, and this place never lets me down - they always have a terrific selection of beers, and the staff is happy to guide me on what I should order based on my taste. I love the in-a-garage ambiance, I love when it's bring-your-instrument night, and I particularly love when bluegrass is played. If you're lucky, you end up on a night when there's a food cart right outside. Clean, well-kept bathrooms and friendly clientele. It can get very crowded, but most people are happy to share their table with you if there's some chairs available at theirs. We're so lucky to have this just a few blocks from our house - we can just do the Waltz shuffle all the way home. If they had a pool table, we'd live there. read more

More beer on tap than their own which is a good sign of a confident brewer. Start with the Waltz Session Ale, refreshing and just enough hops. The Bull Run bramble berry cider is a surprise. Berry upfront but a dry finish and a gorgeous cranberry hue. This a place long needed in Forest Grove. read more

Absolutely love the variety! What a great place for our quiet little town. Great beers and ciders on tap. Ask for snacks if you get hungry. They allow outside food as well! Keep up the great work! read more

Super cool atmosphere, delicious brews, and excellent live music! Very cozy and comfortable spot where the crowd is friendly and cordial. Plenty of street parking available and homemade sweet and savory pies. They have a very long list of beers on tap with ample variety; any beer drinker (or even wine drinker as they offer that as well) will have no trouble finding something that pleases the palate. Definitely worth a visit, and will likely become one of your favorite hangouts. read more

We accidentally stumbled upon this diamond in the rough one warm Thursday night. And have been here every Thursday since! I get a warm welcome when I walk through the door and the sweet guy behind the bar hands me a glass of white wine. (I know, this is a tap room, but I don't drink beer) my husband says the variety of beer is great! He gets a growler to take home and savor. You really can't go wrong with this gem. read more

Waltz was like a gift to Forest Grove. There beers are fantastic and switch every week. Except a few that are always on the menu like there fantastic Kolch. The atmosphere is fun and chill and the bar tenders are always really nice and let you try samples. I've had a lot fun trying beers around Portland but waltz will always be one of my favorite bars:) read more

Waltz Brewing - Fabulous NW beer selection! - Breweries Near Me - Forest Grove, Oregon

I love the atmosphere! A snow day a beer in hand, rocking chair and a wood stove perfect!

What a great selection of beers. Friendly, welcoming, down-home environment, live music....and did I mention THE BEER !

If you truly love good beer and are not looking for a typical "bar scene," Waltz will win you over. Over 20 kinds of beer on tap, often with some ciders, and a few wines and non-alcoholic, fancy sodas. They also have live music some nights. Forest Grove has mostly depressing, scary, dark bars, so the bright and friendly atmosphere of Waltz is very refreshing. Also, there are tons of old records for $1 each there. It is a lot of fun to paw through them and laugh at the covers. Very short walk to many eateries and bringing in outside food is welcome. No T.V.s, lottery machines, pool tables (not that I mind those so much), it is more focused on good beer than the non-essentials. Waltz is a very welcome addition to Forest Grove. I bring visitors from out of town there often and everyone loves it. Also, stained glass and paintings by local artists are on display and for sale. BTW, last I heard, they are now open Tuesdays as well. I love this place. read more

Started off with the Larrys IPA, then move to a 50/50 of Larry's and a Little Bitter. Both were great. But what makes Waltz a fun evening is just the rustic coolness of the place. They're not trying hard to be anything. The place just is who it is and that's what makes it great. read more

Great place, great atmosphere, cool people, good beer, etc. Only critique is the whole running out of beer thing. If you consistently run out of what people like and force them to choose one of the four stout beers on tap you'll lose customers. Not everyone likes strong heavy beer. Keep the staples in stock and you'll keep customers and increase their frequency. Other than that I like what you guys are doing. read more

They have a huge selection of micro brews. They recently started brewing their own beer and had 3 different variations when I was in there last week. The atmosphere is very played back and no loud music. It is a nice place to enjoy good microbrews with your friend. read more

Great local spot. Good drinks, friendly people and we love the live music. It's also cool that they have food trucks outside (certain nights) and they allow you to bring your food in so you can eat, drink and listen to good music. read more

Awesome folks making and serving some awesome brews. Noah & Adam are MONEY. They have a good selection of draft beers and cool music records available to play (by the staff). I love the new/old feel of the place. It's a nice addition to Forest Grove. read more
