APEX  Don Honorable Mention WiFi available

Covid-19 saw APEX switch to credit cards. Roomy, long bar, generous beer patio. Like San Francisco's Toronado, this is something of a love-it-or-hate-it place, but the beer selection is usually first-rate. No kitchen, but take-out from neighboring Gordito's or occasional food trucks parked in front is always acceptable. Just don't climb over the fence! NOTE: Covid-19 vaccine checks are mandatory. Unvaxed are refused service and told to leave.


Pub and bottle shop, well-stocked selection and well-chosen drafts.

COVID-19 restrictions are no longer in effect. BeerMongers has moved a block west from its original location, to a new, brighter space on SE 11th Avenue. Drop in and give the BeerMongers crew some support. They've earned it.

Newly opened in July 2018 after incubating at Culmination Brewing, Ruse specializes in hazy IPAs, farmhouse styles, big stouts, and others as the brewers see fit. The beers have been well-received, for all the right reasons.


Good-sized new taproom in modern industrial space in inner southeast Portland. All house beers on tap, and good kitchen menu as well. Look out for the wingless Cessna mounted up in the mezzanine, where there's more seating if the main floor gets full. Freshly opened in February 2019, initially with beers trucked up from Salem-based parent brewery.


Mt Hood Brewing opened its first-ever Portland pub in 2018, and it's rather unlike any other in town. Yes, there's a taproom with a bar and tables, but there are also two refurbished train cars with additional seating. Plenty of house beers on tap, plus pizza. Not a bad combo at all.


Brand new (as of December 2021) taproom, Chuckanut's first outside of Washington state. Broad selection of Chuckanut's German-inspired lagers and others.
