    Very good value
    Andrew A.

    I was surprised to see CBD cucumber sparking water on the menu. I'm not sure how one can tell if there's CBD, and more importantly, about its highly touted benefits, but it was very refreshing. This is my second visit in 16 years, my purpose was to finally try their recommended burger. I've been going to Peter's Bar & Grill down the street for a similar burger. A comparison: Burger - the bun at McPeets is bland, at Peter's I believe they use a potato roll, but not sure. It's a little tall for my liking, which hinders functionality, but overall its good. Nevertheless, Peter's gets the vote, I remember thinking how good it was with each bite (the caramelized onions is a big reason), I didn't feel that way here. Tots/Fries - a tot is a tot, right? They seem crispier at McPeet's which gives them the nod. Moreover, the portion is large and the fry sauce is a big plus. Value - McPeets. It's about $2 less expensive. The one negative: long wait for food with only three customers at the bar. This place has a nice vibe, I'm surprised I haven't visited more often. The guy tending the bar and cooking was nice.

    This is the epitome of your local watering hole. The food is your typical bar food but it's actually good, although everything we tried was coincidentally fried, it was all pretty tasty. The onion rings were crispy and well battered making them really tasty. Fries were the perfect thickness, with just the right meat to crunchy ratio and the fry sauce was bomb. Mozzarella sticks came out hot and crunchy on the outside, gooey inside. Another win! We were invited to watch the Blazers game here and it was perfect for that. We really enjoyed the visit here. It's a no frills bar but with like $3 points of PBR and some tasty alcohol slushies for the wife, we are content. They've got a beer tap screen and do offer like 6+ beers, so plenty to choose from. Not too big a place with linked seated and post COVID, the seating is even now scarce but they do have a decent sized outdoor patio/seating area. Service was great and so was the local neighborhood company.

    Nachos!

    Anytime I come to Portland to visit my dad, this is where we usually meet up. My dad is a regular, minus him being a complete lush lol. This is your laidback, chill, kind of dive bar atmosphere, which I prefer. I ordered the level pilsner and it was pretty good. The food here is great, I got myself a bacon cheese burger and some pulled pork nachos, yes I'm a fatass , sue me. I'd definitely order the burger again and the nachos. Also I love how they have a chalk board on the wall in the men's bathroom. I had fun with it and wrote some of my friends phone numbers on it, I'll post it on here no worries . This area overall is nice, right across the street is also a great place for coffee and cinnamon rolls too!

    I have walked past McPeet's on many occasion since living here in Beaumont-Wilshire but never had the opportunity to venture in. A neighborhood bar with a decent burger. It was walking past and smelling the grilled meat that made me finally go on in. I got there right at happy hour (4-7pm) and my pint of Pyramid Red Ale was only $3.75. There were several at the bar but for the most part the tables were all empty. Slowly the place started filling up. I got my food order in prior to the people coming in. I ordered the Brunch Burger. $9. A burger with lettuce, red onion, special sauce, bacon and a fried egg with fries. The burger was not bad. They seasoned it up great and the sauce was pretty good too. The burger was a little more done than I usually like and the egg, which I thought would either be sunny side or over easy so the yolk could run, was over well and got lost on the burger. The fries were good and they had "Fry Sauce" on the table which was a kicked up Thousand Island dressing with, I think, some horseradish in it. The place looked like a typical bar with bar signage, more burgers, sandwiches, a the usual app suspects on the menu and a dive feel to it. I like it, and I could see relaxing with a frosty beverage here more often. Enjoy.

    Decent neighborhood pub on Fremont with a sign ya can't miss! They have 5 TVs, good beer selection and good food. The bartender was super friendly and he made good recommendations. The food is what you'd expect- just straight up OG bar style. Ordered the burger and some wings and both were tasty. Definitely recommend to grab a beer and watch the game and hang out.

    Good food, excellent staff. An excellent neighborhood bar. Try the wings and tater tots.

The beer is solid you probably already know this. This brewery has been pumping out solid beers for years and really have their styles dialed in.

I've tried a few of their offerings, burgers, salads and the like. Never had a bad bite to eat. The interior is nice and spacious but this place can get crowded especially during the summer with tourists as it's location is ideal if you're visiting downtown. If I had one wish for this place it would be for some better outdoor seating as most of it is just strung along their storefront out on the sidewalk. That works for me, especially on days I just want to munch, sip and people watch.

It is genuinely cozy in a way that's hard to fake The reading rooms are such a great touch. Having tucked away spaces lined with books to actually sit and read, talk, or hang out in is so rare in a bar setting. It makes it feel more like a community space than just another tap house. At the same time, it works really well for large groups, we've rolled in deep before and never had an issue finding room to spread out. The beer selection is excellent. Thoughtful and rotating enough to keep things interesting without being overwhelming. Whether you want something hoppy, something dark, or something easy drinking, they've got you. And the left wing vibe is the cherry on top. It's refreshing to spend time in a space that wears its politics on its sleeve, pro-labor, pro-community, unapologetically itself. It feels like a place built for the people who actually live in the neighborhood.

Outstanding! This space suits so many purposes: studying, catching up over a drink, planning/researching, etc. There's even a conference room with seating for 11 that you can reserve. You can play board games here if no one's home is big enough for your group (their website says they no longer book the conference room for board games, but you can game there if it's not reserved). There's a few games in the upstairs green room closet. On a Sunday afternoon, there were plenty of spots open, but it is not dead either. Theres a variety of seating to suit all body types and preferences. First floor is wheelchair accessible. The upstairs bathroom has ducks on the ceiling so that's worth a visit alone. The blueberry rooibos iced tea is delicious and you add your own sweetener at the drink station. It literally feels like hanging out at a friend's house. Worth popping in if you haven't been. You can check the current drink selection on their website. You order in the entryway and then carry your items to your seat. Bus your dishes back to the entryway when you leave.
