Pubs on Yellow MAX line

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.


Smallish two-room pub for beer drinking on-premises or growler fills to take away. Simple and minimalist but lively.


The Hop & Vine was a good neighborhood two-room pub and bottle shop but closed at the end of July 2016. Good news: the pub side (one room) has been re-opened as Backyard Social, featuring a good food and drink selection, including eight taps and cocktails. Tap selection leans heavily local.


Sister pub-restaurant to southeast Portland's Tabor Tavern with better than average pub food and a decent beer list.


Old-fashioned saloon pouring plenty of McMenamins standard beer range, plus usual pub food. Added bonuses are live music events and hotel rooms upstairs.


Opened in April 2019, serving the North Portland Kenton neighborhood with a good range of craft beers on tap and bottles and cans from the coolers.
