Pubs on Red MAX line
Old-fashioned saloon-style restaurant and bar with modest but well-chosen selection of beer on tap, some bottles, and liquor. Good for a quiet drink and late-night nosh after a concert at the nearby Crystal Ballroom. | |
In the same restaurant complex that houses downtown Portland's Lardo sandwich shop and Grass pasta restaurant (and under common ownership with both places), Beer Belly feels almost more like a diner with a lot of taps than a typical pub. Beer selection is wide-ranging. Note that this place started business as "Beer Belly," before a cease-and-desist forced the name change. | |
Classic old-school Portland pub that has kept up with the times, still worth calling in. | |
The pandemic put paid to Altabira City Tavern (and just about every other dining operation in Hotel Eastlund). Metropolitan Tavern is its replacement. It's more food and cocktail focused, but craft beer (and cider) fans will still find plenty of choices on tap. | |
