It had a classic charming brewery vibe with a wide selection of beer and cocktails. We had the wings, fried pickles, nutty wedge salad, double double burger and fried buffalo chicken sandwich. Every single item we tried was a 10/10 and had huge portions! The servers were also so welcoming, friendly, attentive, and helpful! I cannot recommend this place enough :)

On a whim, a colleague and I stopped into ABV. We were just a couple miles away doing some charity…read morework and decided we wanted a good burger, so I jumped on Yelp and it led us here. Several tables were full on a Friday at 1:30, which we took as a good sign! Shortly after we sat down, we were greeted by our waitress, who also seemed to be the bartender and the busser. There were a few dirty tables that stayed that way the entire time we were there, and I honestly think she was just overwhelmed trying to do everything herself. Service was okay, but she definitely seemed stretched pretty thin. We both ordered the Fiddy Fiddy Burger, and it was packed with flavor. The fries came out hot and crispy, which is exactly how fries should be. My only complaint really comes down to personal preference--I'm a smash burger girl and prefer a thinner patty. This was definitely a thicker burger than I normally go for, but all in all, it was an excellent burger. I would definitely come back if I was in the area again. Sometimes a random Yelp find turns out to be a good one!

Well, Downtown Hillsboro has killed yet another pizza shop at this location…read more The first, Sizzle Pie, seemed like an anomaly, as parent company Sortis Holdings was going through tremendous upheaval and closing locations of many of its chains (Sizzle, See See's, Rudy's, etc.). But killing off Ranch--a chain that catered directly to this area's dumb love of ranch dressing on pizza and Abby's/Izzy's-style toppings overkill--suggests that Hillsboro culture may not be able to handle an actual, grown-up, big-city pizza shop. You cannot blame the presumed lack of foot traffic on Second Avenue for this. Now, with the exception of Pizzario--which makes the same small, wood-fired pizzas in the same space that its predecessor Earth Mother did, only with a focus on live music and cheap drinks--every pizza shop in Hillsboro is now located in a strip mall. Jersey Girl, the Schmizzas, Curry Pizza House, and Ranch's replacement, Society Pie: All in strip malls and all pretty much reliant on drive-up service or, with the exception of Schmizza's direct delivery, third-party apps. You also can't blame the culture of said pizza shop. Sizzle Pie was always going to be a tough fit here because of the metal soundtrack and kids behind the counter that the olds seemed fixated on hating, but Ranch basically was Hillsboro. It was $3-off happy hour specials, it video games for the kids (and Gen X/older Milennial parents), it was home delivery, it was classic rock. You can't even blame the location anymore. Grand Central bakery has now been there since the plaza opened and witnessed multiple pizza places come and go. While the first bar overlooking that plaza failed, the tapas place that took its spot has been going for more than a year and has been shockingly popular. No, it's just clear that good pizza isn't really Hillsboro's thing. When Ranch closed and Society Pie was announced as the replacement, there was some excitement about it being a suburban tenant, but there was also the reaction that the space was now playing down to its surrounding area. And that's a fair assessment. Both Sizzle Pie and Ranch came about because their founders wanted to make unique versions of existing pizza styles and managed to carve their own niches in New York- and Detroit-style pizzas. They produced combinations that challenged the customer and showed them new combinations of ingredients and flavors that are absent from the suburban pizza spectrum. Hillsboro rejected that wholeheartedly, despite a price tag that, per inch, was more of a bargain than Pizzario right down the street. Now it gets Society Pie which speaks to it in a language that the city understands. Ducks and Beavers, tech bro jokes (it's a picture of Ice-T because it's an iced tea fountain, get it?), local band posters and high school photos on the walls. And the pizza? Much like Jersey Girl or Pizzario, "good for a suburb." There's more effort than you'll see from a local chain, but maybe fewer beers, cocktails, and apps than your better Schmizza locations and nothing that will replace Lovely's, Baby Doll, Pizza Jerk, Red Sauce, Ken's, Apizza Scholls, Dimo's, Scottie's, or Escape From New York in your heart if you moved out here from Portland for work or what you presumed were better schools. There's a strong chance that Society Pie makes the third pizza place in this space the charm because it understands both what it isn't and what the neighborhood needs it to be. But if community spirit, slice specials, better signage, and dedicated delivery service still don't revive this pizza spot in the former bank drive-thru, then it isn't Portland or the pricing or the parking that are at fault--it's Hillsboro itself.

[Format & Space] Seat yourself*, review the menus at the table, order at the bar, they bring your food and drinks to your table. *Plenty of tables, some with long benches, others with chairs on the inside. There's also a large patio. This is a welcome and safe space. [Drinks] Right up front, I'm going to tell you I'm a lightweight. I'm allergic to alcohol, so I don't drink often. Here's one of the things I love about The 649. They have a fantastic selection of mocktails that are created with the same creativity, flair, and intention as a "leaded" cocktail. I appreciate that I get to participate and not be stuck with a lemonade, zero alcohol beer, or wine. So, HUZZAH for creating an inviting space for a non-drinker! There *are* times when I'm willing to risk the lobster-bod, itchiness, and stuffy nose and there are plenty of cocktails from which to choose! [Food] There's a nice selection of sharable plates and mains. I've personally tried the flatbread pizza, Bavarian pretzel, Cubano, and Brisket Press, all of which were delish. [Service] The service has always been fabulous. The staff are welcoming, friendly, and helpful. [Activities] There are a few TVs around the bar with sports. It was a great place to catch some of the World Cup games. Additionally, there are several games that you can borrow and play, which is a lot of fun. [Location] Tucked in a busy shopping center with Safeway as an anchor. Parking hasn't been super problematic yet, but based on one of the other reviewers (Ron R - loved your formatting too, so I borrowed it until we get rich text formatting or emojis!) I can see where it could be a challenge.

Because it's somewhat hidden in the corner of a Safeway shopping plaza. Look for the Baskin Robbins or Wells Fargo ATM and your find it. Like other reviews, when busy, parking can be a bit horrendous. But in hindsight, I'm not gonna reduce a star just because of location. * Bar Food Menu & Dining * Their menu starts with shareable bites, like a pretzel, tacos, quesadilla, loaded nachos, and even a charcuterie plate. Slightly larger dishes would be their Cubano and Brisket Press sandwiches. They even have a few choices for soup and salads, and a couple of dessert items listed. Don't forget to check the chalkboard next to the bar for specialty dishes and drinks. As for dining-in, they've got sturdy wooden tables that can accommodate 4-8 people. Bar stools by the windows, and a fairly large outside patio area. And with the times I've been here, I've never seen a dirty table. Very well maintained (two thumbs up). A few TV monitors showing the game, but its not like a noisy sportsbar. * Drinks & Services* You've got your choice of craft beers that rotate like a standard tap room. They also have tasty seasonal cocktails, but their normal everyday cocktails are just as good. And if you're gonna have a charcuterie board, then you've got to offer a wine list option right? Well they got that too! One last thing to mention, they've got some top-shelf bourbon and whiskey. The 649 is a bar that offers it all! Service has also been welcoming and top-notch. I recall only been served by Rich, Steven, and Crystal, but they always seem to craft up some lovely cocktails. Or deliver some clean tasting everyday type of bar food as well. * Last Call * Normally in my reviews, I'd list every item that I've tried, with price included. But The 649 is such a unique type of bar experience that I feel you should try for yourself; To me, their offerings are reasonably priced. Dining in is nothing fancy, but service is excellent. It's a great hangout for a business date, of even after a first date. I've got nothing but love for local support!

The staff were very friendly and the vibe was very lively inside even for a weeknight. We took our food to go but even after a 10 minute drive, the chicken and fries were still very crispy.

We came on a Saturday late afternoon for an event and used the awesome loft space upstairs with arcade games. The whole place was big, bright, and clean, with a back room for private events and the big vats right there brewing your favorite beers. You order at the bar area but it could be crowded with long lines at certain times. Service was friendly and helpful with beer selections and food recommendation. We went either the Happy Hour deal and were very happy with our food. You get a buzzer for your food and you have to go around the back to get it out of a food trailer. This feels a little odd but feels like they streamlined this system on their end. Now for the food: the pizza was sooo good! The crust was crispy with a delicious cheese pull. I also really enjoyed my classic sandwich of ham and cheese. I thought the arugula salad really helped round out the flavor profile and added some freshness to the sandwich. My hubby liked his NW beer and I loved the Marionberry Lemon soda water as a nonalcoholic option. We would totally come back again and try the other pizza combinations and different beers next time! Give them a try for a date, family dinner, friends get together or your private events!

*Closed business notice* Yeeeeah... BDSM is abbreviated…read morelike that on purpose and isn't accidental or coincidental at all. To be honest I tried two attempts here to get their beer and both times were fails. The address associated with their Yelp entry here seems to be at the owner's house. And they indeed did have a small taproom here going off of the Yelp pictures. People really liked the beers from the other reviews and the concept definitely caught our attention (ahem) but when we got there and within operating hours of the taproom everything was closed up tighter than a drum. We wanted to make another attempt to try their beer at a later time and when we did it looked like they moved to downtown Hillsboro. We'll we made it there, Steve and I and went in the door only to be told they were closed BUT the owner didn't turn us away and so we had a can of cider. They were doing a remodel and we figured we would make yet another attempt in a few months to try their beer since none was available during the particular time the remodel was taking place and when we arrived. I made a third attempt only to find out the old BDSM sign was taken down and smoked meats and cold beer were sold at the location we were at months before. All of these changes must have been recent and swift because the third attempt was a week ago and Google had the business in the search as still being open and they had an active Facebook page. The Facebook page and has since vanished in a week's time and the Google result says they are permanently closed. They still have their own website up but I wouldn't imagine that is very useful at this point and time. Too bad. A few missed opportunities here without a full on beer experience with what they brewed.
