Great little find in the heart of the King neihborhood. This place was packed. Saturday night, post show, we needed a waterin hole. Now after having a couple drinks in us, we didn't feel fancy, we just needed somewhere to land. Alberta Street Pub did not disappoint. The crowd was loud. Good vibes, happy people, everyone seemed to have the same vibe. Drinks did take a while, as the bar was busy... but that's a good problem to have. The bartenders did not miss that people were lined up for drinks - they made the wait worthwhile! Strong drinks, fairly expensive, but it's a pub on a Saturday night, what do you expect? The bar was packed, too much for my deaf self to hear anyone talk, so we resorted to the patio. Was a bit disappointed at the amount of people vaping. The air was thick with smoke and you could smell the cigarettes that people were smoking just outside of the patio. Overall, it's a grungy bar to land for some decent drinks late any evening. We'd stop by again if around. read more

In addition to a great afternoon of drinking with my friends...the fries! The staff was super great and so much fun. Such a good vibe.

I've gone a couple times on Wednesday nights, where they have the life band on the back patio (old school R&B). Musics great, patio is great, service is quick and great as well. I unfortunately don't like the vibe, not everyone gets along with everyone and I understand that but I feel as if I'm treated poorly - not by staff but by patrons! It's something I'll voice but I try my best to not let it affect me. I was invited to a group to play uno haha and did have a blast! Also, there is a Dj inside which plays more my music (hip hop), and kills it, between the seating and the bar is standing space, hard to dance or walk through if you're trying to get a drink or in someone's way. Maybe the bar should think about resetting this area for when the DJ is on. There is an "event" room or something of that sort behind the bar, I think moving there would attract more people and if not, at least the people there will be able to dance. I see them dancing in their seats!! I did have the fried catfish, it was so so to me - I think the breading needing more flavor IMOA. Oh, and there's a female security guard, how dope is that?! read more

Alberta Street Pub - Beer - Beer Bar Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Alberta Pub in the King area of Portland is a corner watering hole hangout hosting a bang of a party until the wee hours of the morning. My daughter wanted to kickstart our Sunday as she'd gotten wind of Alberta P's Soulful Sundays lineup a while back and suggested we come during my short solo visit to Portland. Alberta P. has a dim, cozy feel with the bar area+stools and other tables around. My kid and I were here for the live music the next room over. This room has high stools, slender counters on opposite side and several hi-top tables front of the stage- with cymbals, decorating the walls. Grab a cocktail and settle in. The owner seems to be a legend in these parts who has been hosting and supporting the local live jazzy+Soulful Sundays music scene for a while. Come here if you wanna listen and jive to musicians zhuzh up famous jazzy and soul tunes. The Sunday my kid and I visited, the live band improvised their own schtick- but it also felt sloppy as the main singers ate up a bulk of the time stretching out the songs. At times, it felt and looked like they were cackling. Despite this, the singers had a powerful voice-especially the guy who sounded like El DeBarge. My daughter and I ended our evening on a high note in a dimly lit venue while a live band tinkled out sets of jazzy+ soulful tunes until late. Come with an open mind and you'll leave with your senses bedazzled in some fun- but interesting way. read more

Came here for a drag brunch and would return! Love the cute little back patio which is both al fresco feeling and covered as well for the rainy days! The gin and tonic was super strong and delicious. Only thing that didn't catch my eye was the food menu..nothing quite shouted out for me here. read more

Went to Alberta street Pub for "Trap Bingo" one weekday in October 2025.. it was AMAZING!! I had so much fun! What was most impressive was the shrimp and fries with remoulade dip. OMG! I never had anything like it. I also ordered a shot of Remy Martin.. I was about to sip and noticed a fruit fly. Went and told the tall black guy bartender, it took like 3 mins of him searching for it and finally he saw it. At first he tried to hand it back and say he didn't see it. I had to put it up toward the light where he could see, FINALLY, he saw it. Poured me another.. 2 fruit flys.. handed it back, same thing, poured another, a fruit fly. So I told him obviously the bottle is filled with them, please open another bottle. He was pretty irritated, like I did something wrong LOL! I guess I should of drank the nasty menaces?!! That alone, gave me a terrible first impression, BUT THE SHRIMP :))!!! So I decided I'll just go back for the shrimp.. I went home and told my hubby, and anyone else I spoke with. I was so looking forward to going back just for that. *FAST FORWARD* January 2026. Had been planning a nice night out for hubby and had been wanting him to try the shrimp and fries. So we decided on Sunday Jan. 11th, "Soulful Sundays". We got all dressed up.. mind you, we had a few questions and had been calling for 3 days straight. No one EVER answered. We showed up at about 5 after midnight. (They close at 2am) kitchen was closed :( .. ok.. our bad. We left. Decided to go back the next day with the kiddos. Again, called to make sure kids could come in before 9. NO ANSWER. So we just showed up. Kids were able to attend. So I approached the bar, family was all seated. The lady bartender was in the middle of convo with someone at the bar, so I waited.. finally, she came over, I t was our first time coming in during the day and with kids. I had to keep asking questions and figure out exactly how ordering went and so forth. She was NOT very forthcoming. I had to drag all the answers out of her. Went over the menu, ordered. Not too long of a wait, while waiting, my fingers and sleeves were sticking to the table. You could see the stickiness in the light, so I laid napkins down. Had I asked the chatty bartender, with her attitude I know we would have got into it. I was already annoyed by our interaction upon arrival. So I pretty much avoided her and just settled. We just wanted to eat and go.. went over to get our food. I immediately noticed the portion and state of our food. We ordered two grilled chicken burgers with fries, and two shrimp and fries. The burger plates were cool. HOWEVER, the shrimp plates actually pissed me off! HIGHLY. Just about all of our fries were burnt. They looked like the scraggly fries at the bottom of the fryer you forgot about and grab at the very end. They looked pathetic. HUGE CONTRAST from my last visit. There was a diff cook. First cook was a heavy set white guy. This cook was a skinny black lady. *RACE DOESNT MATTER JUST STATING FOR CONTEXT*. A diff cook could be why the difference. We sat to "eat" and it was terrible. I mean.. we spent $80 freakin dollars and left hungry. The shrimp had NO FLAVOR AT ALL. They just tasted like oil basically. The remoulade had no flavor. Just a faint taste of mayo. We also got a side of ranch and it tasted like it was spoiled. We got there at about 6:30pm and it's like they were closing the kitchen and fed us the scraps of what was left to cook? Idk.. it was absolutely terrible man.. such a disappointment . Again, the fries were burnt so we could only eat a few. I didn't let the bartender know because she was already dry and distant when we arrived, so we just bused our tables and left. I've never spent $80 damn dollars to eat anywhere and left hungry. And I was slightly embarrassed I gassed the shrimp up, only to get the bland, burnt crap we were served. None of my family liked the shrimp and fries. They did enjoy the burgers, and their fries weren't burnt. A free re-do would be solid on ALBERTA STREET PUBS part. $80!?? *SIDE NOTE* I also noticed all of the "Urban" or "Black" events have higher cover charges than all other bands/events. read more

Alberta Street Pub - Shrimp and maybe a half a handful of burnt fries. $17 :/ - Beer Bar Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Visited 7/7/24 | Spent $16 (taxes and fees included) - At the tail end of Leaky Con (Harry Potter conference), my friends and I visited for a Hip Hop & R$B Bingo Night. The staff were friendly and bartender was attentive, though she was working solo managing the growing line. I was shocked by how much syrup was used to make the tequila sunrise I ordered, so refrained from ordering anything else from the bar for the rest of the night. The nachos were fulfilling and solid bar food. I love how spacious and clean the patio was and the lively entertainment. read more

Disappointed and angry in a dive bar, how cliche?! I know. Empty bar. 20 minutes for a smash burger. Over cooked fries. Secret fees. When you're the only one in the bar service should be extraordinary, you're the only one there! A beer and a burger is the bare minimum for a bar. If the menu says $15 for a burger, that's what it is, not 15.83. If the menu says extra bacon is $2, that's what it is, not $4.14. If a beer says it's $8, that's what it is, not $8 and some change. If you have fees for something it should be stated, not randomly charged on the bill. "The managers not in, I can't help!" I think the service staff should be able to explain charges on my bill. I didn't want extra bacon. I wanted what I paid for, nothing more. I won't be back. $30 for a burger, fries and a beer....just to throw it in the trash because it wasn't even done right. Why come?! I'm good. Do better! If I could cuss in this review I would! Sad. read more

I want to like this bar so bad... I like the bartenders and the drinks are solid (food not so much, unfortunately). But from a management and leadership perspective this place is a mess... Seems like there's no efficient pipeline for getting peoples orders in and the service is AWFULLY slow. Feels like whoever did the hiring just said,"do you know how to make drinks? You're hired!" instead of teaching the staff how best to use the space and tools they have. read more

They say they allow well behaved dogs outside. The fact the owner had a bartender come out and ask me for a service dog card (which isn't a thing) for my dog even though he was laying down not bothering a soul like he's trained to do proved that was not the case. Aaaand four customers lost there. read more

I've driven by countless times, but never noticed them until today. The Fish & Chips were better than expected, a very good version actually. The coating wasn't overly snap crispy, but not too soft battered either. Fries were great, a runner-up to Belgian double fried style. A surprise winner was the New Belgian Agua Fresca, think McMennamins Ruby Red, but better. Service is a bit stoic, but polite. The only negative is you need to order drinks and food at the bar. I'm not a fan of this concept and actually didn't order a second beer because my lazy ass didn't want to get up. Had a server come to our table and asked they would have realized more revenue and he a bigger tip. Silly Portland trend. read more

A Don Julio lemon drop is 14.49 for the shot , plus an extra 2 for lemon drop mix. A lemon drop at Ruth Chris isn't that expensive.

Pre-Amble: Painfully aware of the virtue signaling that this might appear to be but isn't, I don't drink so my review is doesn't take into account probably the most critical part of the pub, the alcohol. I've come here for trivia a few times and it's a nice place. The inside isn't very large, but they have a large patio area that holds a lot of people. My reason for giving it 4 stars is although it's technically heated, it feels like the heat is very isolated and I think i've only sat at one table where I felt the heat. The staff is very friendly, and it's cool that they host trivia there. I ordered the Standard Burger the last time I was in, and it was pretty good, although it felt a little underwhelming for the price. I'll keep coming back to play trivia, but it's not a place I would seek out specifically. read more

Heard this place was the spot for late night, walked in just now about 0100 and got yelled at that they were closed! Open sign was on but "just got turned off". Google says open till 0200. Update your open time or don't yell at people you're closed wtf. Kinda aggressive for an honest mistake. read more

Great fish and chips, music and beer line up! Fun place to meet up to listen to music... or other big events like election night. Have a memory of being there the night I thought Hilary would win... place went from packed house to sad faces leaving before midnight. read more

This place is great during the summer time or for large groups. Their patio is heated and covered. They have a a full bar and limited food menu. We had the chicken fingers and a burger. Unfortunately the food came out cold. There was a big group there so I assumed that was the reason. You can also have dogs on the patio! read more

I was here with my husband the other night for trivia. I like that the trivia is on a heated patio and that vaccination cards are required to get in. You have to scan a QR card to get the menu and I was impressed by the fact that they had gluten free chicken fingers. They aren't the best ones I have had but they are good. The whisky barbecue sauce was great. I wish the fries were also gluten free though. They had about 30 beers on tao that were listed on a board over the bar, along with a few ciders and hard seltzer. The menu had a lot of great sounding cocktails, but I didn't try them on this visit. read more

Great event here on the heated, covered patio in December. The seating was rustic but appropriate for out large group of 30ish people. The service was friendly and helpful. I'm still thinking about the kale Caesar that some of my work buddies were fortunate enough to snag for lunch the following day. The sliders were fine--I ate the interiors and left the buns that probably tasted great (damn you, gluten gremlins). I appreciated the ease of access to drinks and food--we went to the bar, flashing our hand stamp to show which tab our drinks went to. The food was displayed in warmers and people helped themselves to plates, napkins, and, we'll, yummy bar food. I'll be back with my family. read more

Earnie was great! Love this spot. Great music good vibes. Will return. Thanks!! Love the selection of brews and tastes of brews.

First time here, very cozy and Sarah is a kind and attentive bartender. Will definitely be back, thanks!!

So it took me eight months to get back here, which is odd because I have lived here in the northeast for over four months. Well time to rectify that. I came on a Monday night for geek trivia and a meetup group. As always, great beer. This time I ate, and I got a catfish Poboy sandwich and fries which I asked for well done. The catfish was tender, but could have been a little spicier. The remoulade was nice and the bread was crisp. The fries were perfect. In my last review, I made mention of a lovely bartender who made great beer selections for me. Believe it or not she was still there, running tables on this night, and remembered me from eight months ago. Great memory. Now I really need to go back. Enjoy. read more

Sweet [bar] food. They completely remodeled the space, and I have to say they've got a rockin' patio. This is a great place for a party/get together. Nice beer selection, good ambiance, perfect mesh of little tables, outdoor seating, booths, bar, etc. They do have live music, but I wish the stage was a bit larger or the speakers were on separate risers. I was here to see my friend's band, and they had a hard time gettin' down with the small stage, but the acoustics weren't bad. Worth a note: the BLT is a winner. Sincerely, Bacon Snob. read more

Came here for Burger Week 2018. What I really loved about this place was the friendly staff! They were super busy and they were all still smiling and helping people out left and right. It was refreshing to be hanging out in a Portland bar where people were just flat out nice. The burger was interesting. Good. Worth trying. Not my favorite Burger Week Burger I've ever had, but I liked it. I also liked that it came out relatively quickly for the amount of people they were dealing with on Monday of Burger Week. Saw that they have a lovely patio area outside. It was too busy for our group of four to find space out there, but I would really like to come back and enjoy that space with friends on a summer's evening. read more

Let's be honest, this place is the best, Jerry, the best! The staff is hella fucking awesome upon arrival and made to feel like we've known each other for years. Hard to keep a straight face when you have a killer vibe amplifying the place. The grub is just where you want it to be. Made with love and leaving you wanting more. Don't get me started on the venue. Or do, but buy me a drink and meet me on the dance floor cause the live music that happens every night gives the Alberta street a pulse. And what a pulse! Be there or be square. Unless you're in a love triangle then that's a different shape. Cheers to you, Alberta Street Pub! read more

I came for Burger Week. Their burger was pretty tasty with a nice amount of heat from the jalapeños. I appreciated that they had a lot of good cilantro and pickled carrots on the burger. Their tap list was really wide ranging, and the bartenders were very knowledgeable. The service was fast, and the vibe was pretty relaxing. I would definitely check it out again in the future. read more

I've been meaning to throw this place under the bus for a few weeks. After get horrible second rate service somewhere else the other day, I remembered that I needed to call out my experience. I was on my bike and randomly stopped into the bar as I do when I'm out and about. The trouble started as soon as I sat down. Two bartenders, one doing absolutely nothing, one making drinks at a glacial pace. Neither could bother to greet me. The guy was just leaning back behind the bar, maybe looking at his phone. I looked down at the bar and wondered if they owned a bar towel. Hadn't been wiped down, should be wiped down constantly. I mean, it was bad. After the female bartender pretended to be friendly, she proceeded to take 10 minutes to make me a drink. Then asked me if it was good! It wasn't. I lied. Both bartenders made me feel unwelcome and I couldn't wait to get out of there and never come back. And I've been there a bunch of times before. And I'm exactly the kind of customer you want. I drink good liquor, I don't nurse one drink for two hours, and I tip good bartenders well. Granted, it's hard to find a good bartender in Portland or one who even understands their job (generating revenue for the bar and getting people to come back), but this was next level awful and unprofessional "bartending." There's nothing I like more than an on top of it bartender, even if they aren't super friendly. But to have bartenders who aren't friendly AND can't bartend? No thanks. read more

We saw a really good live show in the back room. It does get hot there, especially since my friends and I were dancing! Luckily between shows, they propped open the fire exit door (which lead out to the patio anyway) since I'm sure the performers were really overheated as well. Overall a fun place, plenty of space. We got there at 8pm on a Friday and were able to get a nice corner booth for our group before heading over to the performance. It definitely became more lively throughout the evening but never got too crowded. * Diablo (tequila, mezcal, cassis, lime, ginger beer. $7) - 3 stars pic: http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/alberta-street-pub-portland?select=1yFpBWb5GMYmi2c1abQBSg#FJL_F-4VwHfDBi-e-UoVqQ This wasn't too well balanced - it was definitely smoky from the mezcal, but that was about all I could taste. I couldn't taste much at all of the lime or ginger beer. Overall a bit strong for me.
