Baerlic Brewery & Taproom    

2235 SE 11th Ave, Portland, OR 97214

Roomy, rambling taproom features full range of Baerlic Brewing's beers. Kitchen is run by Ranch Pizza, doing Detroit-style slabs served with ranch dressing for dipping.

3090 SE Division St., Portland, OR 97202

Simple one-room boozer with good range on tap and even more bottles. Beers can be consumed on-premises or bought to take away, including growler fills from the taps. No kitchen, but there's really good takeout nearby, including the excellent Bollywood Kitchen.

Little Beast Brewing Beer Garden       

3412 SE Division St., Portland, OR 97202-1542

Former location of Lompoc Brewing's Hedge House, now pouring some of the region's best farmhouse-style and mixed-fermentation beers. Do not miss this one. 2021 saw the opening of a Kansas City-style barbecue kitchen. It's good too. Be prepared to show proof of covid-19 vaccination if seated at the bar.

Lucky Labrador Brew Pub - Hawthorne   

915 SE Hawthorne Blvd, Portland, OR 97214-3545

More than twenty years in, the Lucky Lab is durably popular for pints of English-style ales and inexpensive food. It's grown into a chainlet, with three other locations around the city.

Prost!     

4237 N Mississippi Ave, Portland, OR 97217-3132

Sibling to Stammtisch in Kerns, this is where you go for German beer and Eckkneipe atmosphere, but don't expect any local brews. Simple German pub food and full liquor bar for those so inclined is also on offer, but there's another kind of treat out back in the form of one of Portland's food-cart pods, and the bar's management is okay with customers ordering from any of them and enjoying on-premises with a beer. Update: The cart pod and Prost! are now under the same ownership. Plans are in the works to make the pub and food carts a more integrated experience.

Saraveza  

1004 N. Killingsworth St., Portland, OR 97217-2222

Great corner tavern in North Portland, attracts locals and folks from elsewhere too. Bottles for purchase to consume on-premises or to go, plus small but well-chosen selection on tap. Home to several beer festivals throughout the year, and strong connections to a certain cheese-making state in flyover country. Kitchen was remodeled in fall 2016, and the menu has been significantly upgraded, and now features some of the best pub food in town.

The Automatic Bar    

3652 SE Division Street, Portland, OR 97202

New pub in former Victory Bar space, craft beer, cocktails, and simple pub menu.

Tulip Shop Tavern      

825 N Killingsworth St., Portland, OR 97217

Revamped former dive bar, now with a modest but very good tap selection, canned beers, classic cocktails, and good pub food.
