Love this place for drinks with friends or for business happy hours!! Awesome vibe and atmosphere!

This place is just no equipped to handle a big game. I came here for the quarter final game of England and Norway. The place opened at 1:30 for a 2pm kickoff. 25 minutes in to the game, still didn't have a drink. We left. Never again. Kinda ruined the whole experience. I get it, staff have a hard job. But 30 minutes was poor planning for World Cup game at a soccer bar. read more

Went for the World Cup showing. It was slammed! I'm new to watching soccer and was excited to see the game, and have always appreciated their tap selections. A table offered their available seats to us, and as we sat down, a male bartender told us we can order from the table. The people next to us at our table got their food and drinks, but we were never acknowledged by any server--including the one that told us we could order from the table. We sat for over 20 minutes with no service, and so we left. Additionally, I was kinda shocked seeing that so many children were allowed in the bar. Seeing kids get served before me en masse was a disappointing experience. I've worked in the service industry for a long time, and in times like this, we had QR codes at the table for just drinks and snacks (while still serving our full menu if you went up to the bar to order). This allowed us to knock out drinks fast, and we never had an upset customer. I agree with other comments here that they did not seem prepared for such a large crowd. There was also no bartender outside (at least from when we first got there--which was just after 2:10ish). read more

Amazing food, great vibe, and super friendly service. The garlic rosemary fries and "secret" sauce were incredible- as was the Bahn mi french dip!! Will definitely go again. Watched a world cup match there! Not a bad seat in the house. read more

Super cute neighborhood spot! They have a massive hidden patio that is almost like a green house and then they also have sidewalk seating in front. My boyfriend and I just got some drinks and they were well priced, only reason I'm docking a star is that the staff were clearly distracted and overwhelmed but then also blatantly talking to their friends when nobody had come to check on us yet. Weird vibe from the bartenders but that aside cute spot and I'm sure we will be back to take advantage of their outdoor seating and try some food! read more

North 45 - Hidden patio - New American Near Me - Portland, Oregon

There is a HUGE (heated) patio out back that looks like it would be good for game-watching. There's about 4 different TVs, picnic tables, sharing tables, etc. Service was excellent. The food was: soup - great, beyond burger sub on the OG burger - great, "cauliflower steak" - really not great, cream cheese churro - great. I don't understand why the cauliflower steak which was really just a small, over charred steak of cauliflower, with a small side of veggies (brussels sprouts) on top, and supposedly some mushroom gravy (there wasn't any) is $22 - same price as the pork chop (which another table ordered and it was PILED with stuff)?! Seriously. Other than that everything was great - I just won't order, nor will I ever recommend that "veggie plate", it's a rip off. We would go again, but would absolutely stay away from that - really overpriced. read more

I'm sitting at the bar and the owner (? Manager) sitting with friends all dropping f-bombs and other foul language in obnoxiously loud voices, oblivious to other customers looking in disdain and rolling eyes. I don't even think he noticed these customers leaving with disgusted look. Ash, working the bar, was awesome and attentive to the patrons. As always, food was good. If I return, it'll be a while and with trepidation. Yelps review algorithm is auto checking under 'What could improve?', food, service and ambiance. Only the ambiance...this evening. Food and service by Ash were fantastic. read more

Attended a spectacular fundraiser yesterday for the Ronald McDonald House situated on the back patio of North 45. The staff pulled out all the stops with a very festive atmosphere of spectacular southern live jazz music, punchy cocktails and offerings of scrumptious foodie bites to sustain us through a very delightful afternoon. The crowd was decked out--seersucker, bow ties and ohh the hats on ladies and gents! Then there was the Kentucky Derby. All bets were off as to who the winning thoroughbred would be. Excitement plus came when the race began. The crowd was into it big time. Very happy times even though the long shot,Mage, came from behind to take the crown. Not too many winners in this crowd tonight but everyone sure felt like one! I enjoyed meeting one of the owners of the bar. He was clad in a gorgeous custom made pink seer sucker suit. Quite the dandy who made everyone feel welcome. North 45 was decorated exquisitely. Gorgeous flowers at all tables, TVs galore to view the race. But really the Oscar/Grammy goes to the band, Brassroots Movement. This ensemble just dominated and juiced up the crowd. Such a lively atmosphere. This is going down in my books for one of the best fundraisers I have been to. I highly recommend you come back to North 45 often. Make it your home as you will be treated like family. Also, subscribe to Facebook and follow the band. Guaranteed you'll have a blast. Super cool. Cheers! read more

This is one of those neighborhood spots that always delivers. Whether we're sitting at the bar watching cup, or in the back celebrating my friend's birthday on the patio, the service and food are always on point. I love the back patio bar. It is a family favorite for all of us! read more

Love this spot! Only been here twice and both times were for the derby event. Large outdoor patio greenhouse so prefect outdoor seating all year round. They always have it decorated so cute for the occasion. Ordered some cucumber tea sandwiches and they were pretty good. Delicious cocktails too but pricey. The servers are always pleasant and seem to be having fun during the event. read more

Great customer service, I ordered their Myanmar Habanero Margarita and rosemary French fries . I loved them both . They have pretty high prices for Portland . Compare to SF ( where I live ) they have the same price . While I was in Portland I went to some other bars and they had cheaper prices. read more

Such a great happy hour place. Selection of drinks and snacks for the happy hour menu was perfect for our group and sat outside on the picnic tables with the Copa cup playing gave me some German beer garden vibes with an Asian/American food twist read more

Last time I was here was in the Summer. Love the back patio. Open space. Picnic table seating. Partially covered. They have a big screen tv to watch games and also play good music. It was a vibe! The staff were very attentive on drinks especially considering we had a big group! read more

A quaint and charming pub on a popular street. I am sure many come for the beer or the extensive whiskey list. But, we just came for a late dinner. We split the Brussel sprouts, green beans, and curry mussels. The brussel sprouts were crispy and the green beans a delicious flavor but the curry mussels were unlike any mussels I have had. The curry sauce had a bit of a kick but not overwhelming and the perfectly baked baguette that accompanies the dish was the ideal vessel for soaking up the flavory extra sauce. I highly recommend stopping in for a quick bite. read more

Hoping to get in touch with management. We had drinks and wings on 1/8/25 (party of 2), while eating the Cole slaw on the side one of us bit into a rock that was in the slaw, we dug through and found several more small pebbles in the slaw. We notified our server and she went to the kitchen, told us there was nothing in the kitchen like the pebbles, and told us she didn't have authorization to do anything about it. She said she would make note of our complaint for us to call in the next day. We were frustrated by the lack of response or accountability to the matter, there seemed to be zero concern from the wait staff or kitchen that foreign objects were found in their food. Edit: We were able to get in touch with management and they kindly refunded our order read more

Great drinks Ana food. The staff is friendly. Great back patio that's covered and heated.

The customer service is OK. This is more of a place that you would go on for a first date or if you just wanted to hang out and have a drink the food options are very limited in specific to a certain type of eater. There was nothing that caught my attention. The patio is nice because you can bring your pet. read more

Came here for a quick drink for a birthday and I am so happy with it! I was surprised with the outdoor patio space since it's huge and even covered for the gloomy days. They even had TVs out there and the staff was kind to come out to the back to take orders and didn't need us to come inside to place our orders. I ordered a mule here and pretty standard. Fries here are also tasty and great options to share with a group! I didn't get to enjoy the indoor space or other food but there were plenty people inside so it's definitely a favorite in the area. Solid menu of drinks/food, affordable prices, and friendly staff. read more

I'm sad to see the food quality go down so hard. Hair in the salad. Pasta was not as advertised on the menu and tasted like nothing. My friend's "gyro" came on the saddest bun I've ever seen. I understand times are hard... but, pick a lane. If you wanna go cheap and have bar food just do that. The food used to be good. Waitress/bartender was 10/10. Drinks were great. read more

Banh Mi French Dip - meh. It was good but too much spicy sauce which drowned out the other textures. Would only order again in a pinch. Calamari appetizer - very fishy and salty. Luckily I didn't order since I could only eat one piece. Green beans appetizer - light, crisp and refreshing. Had peanut butter flavor. Would definitely order again. BBQ wings appetizer - didn't have but looked good! Moscow Mule - good but small drink. Waiter was nice enough but extremely low vibe. It was odd. They messed up on two orders (ran out) but offered to replace it with something else. Sit out back on a warm summer's day vs the dingy inside. This increased the score from 2.5 to 3 stars. I will only come back here if not by choice. read more

Great service and vibes overall. TV was flickering on and off throughout the program though. Overall I definitely recommend!

This is a really nice spot to hang out in Portland that isn't too crowded. From the front it looks deceivingly dark and cramped, but just through the hall to the back there's a beautiful patio (tables are comfortably spaced out!) with a few TVs which is nice if there's a good game going on. The employees were friendly and the service was prompt. I ordered the burger with a single patty, which came with a side of fries. If you have a preference for how your meat is cooked, let your server know; ours didn't ask and the patties came medium-well. The food was good, not mind-blowing by any means, but the service and ambiance made North 45 a positive experience overall! Will be back :) read more

This is probably the WORST food I've ever had after being in Portland for 6 years. I got the banh mi French dip. The pho soup straight up looks like dish water, and it tastes HORRIBLE. If you wanna experience how having COVID feels like, try this soup. You can't taste anything. There is no flavor AT ALL. At least put some sugar in there! The banh mi doesn't taste quite right either. The picture shows how much I love the food. That's exactly how much I wasted. I guess the Caesar salad is ok. My date didn't finish it though. I asked for the sweetest cocktail, and the server recommended this new one on their menu (that I totally forgot the name) that is not really sweet. Well, maybe my taste is different than hers, so I don't blame her. They do have decent drinks. The only good thing we had was this Rosemary Garlic Fries. They are good enough for me to give them an extra star. read more

I love this place! But they allow people to smoke outside in the covered areas. I am really sensitive to smoke and almost immediately get a headache and stomach ache. Detracts from the otherwise awesome setup they have outside. The food and drinks are fantastic. read more

This was the most random stop we made during our time in Portland. We visited back in September, but could not remember the name of this place until after doing a bit of research this morning. We were at the bourbon bar around the corner and on our walk back to the hotel decided to pop in here. The bar was empty when we arrived because it was still relatively early for any sort of dinner rush. The bartender was friendly and offered great suggestions, but the reason I am still thinking about this place months later is because of the food. The cook poked his head out of the kitchen window shortly after we got our drinks and let us know that he had just got some fresh mussels in and was whipping up steamed mussels in a coconut curry. To put it simply, those mussels were one of the most delicious things I have ever eaten! They were perfectly cooked, seasoned, and had the right amount of heat. I wish I had a before picture of the dish, but the mussels didn't last long enough for that. I do see that they have coconut curry clams on their regular menu, so if we return to Portland we will definitely be stopping in here again. read more

Ugh. Cute place. Shitty service. The bartender was FAR more worried about doing dishes than he was about serving. I ordered a drink and he chose to empty three more trays of glasses before deigning to serve my drink.,that definitely wasn't served in glasses he had to wait for the dishwasher to clean. After I finished the first drink I sat for ANOTHER 30 minutes with a I sat with an empty glass with no offer of a drink. The place was not busy. read more

North 45 - The - New American Near Me - Portland, Oregon

North 45 is one of my favorite bars in the Alphabet District, mainly because of the huge but unassuming patio in the back. The patio feels almost like a secret garden that only locals know about since it's not visible from the street. I was surprised but not that surprise to find out that North 45 has the same clever owners as Circa 33. This is a great place to watch sports- Timbers/Thorns, World Cup, Olympics. The service is great. The food and cocktails are creative but hit or miss. Usually I just get beer but on my last visit I had some cocktails. The cocktails had creative names and ingredients but not quite on point, they seemed to need to be stirred. Also one with habanero vodka was so spicy to the point of not being drinkable. The food menu is a step above standard bar food with eclectic offering but portions were small and prices overly high. 4 cocktails, a salad, green beans, the banh mi, and mussels ran 2 of us $120 + tip. However, the service and patio continue to bring me back. read more

Quickly becoming my neighborhood bar, just in time for bars to shut down. But I'll be there again just as soon as this shutdown has ended... I love Belgian-style beers, and North 45 is a great spot for them! They sometimes have some inventory issues (lots of 86d situations lately), but generally I can get what I want on the first try. And the suggested substitutions have all been solid, anyhow. In a city drowning in IPAs, it sure is nice to be able to order a Tripel Karmeliet or a Chimay. Lots of great spaces to hang. Out front you have the (temporary?) table setup, which allows for a lot of people watching. Out back there's a really great beer garden that is weather-proofed and has TVs and the like. It's cozy and a great vibe. If you want to sit inside, they've got you covered. They tout a super-advanced air filtration system that makes it possible to breath just a little easier (ha!). Food menu is definitely impacted by COVID. I miss all of their bowls of mussels, but I can see how that'd be hard to maintain during such uncertain circumstances. Now most of what I get is pretty "bar food", but definitely tasty! Rosemary garlic fries, chicken wings, etc. They do have a few larger-portioned menu items, but I haven't given those a whirl. I love and miss North 45. Happy to hear they're re-opening on Dec 3rd. read more

I had won 2 gift cards in a raffle a couple years ago at a super bowl party. I had sat on them for a while in hops to use it for a nice date. After wanting to try new places once things started opening up after covid, I decided to use them Anyways. I love the food her and the waitress was more than helpful and friendly through out on our first trip. We tried to use the gift cards and was told that "one of them covered the whole total" and we got them back. So naturally, we can back again because we were very impressed. But the second time we tried to pay, things didn't go so great. The manager came out and told us that "since the gift cards are so old the system runs them as credit." I had no problem paying otherwise but it was the comment that came afterwards. Upon setting the gift cards down on the table and letting us know he wouldn't accept them, he then gave a smart ass comment about "now I can hold onto them a little longer and hang em on your wall" knowing full well that the cards don't work. It is not my fault I don't know what's on the cards, your system should know that. It's not my fault that your system ran it as credit, your system should know that. If anything I should have been comped and apologized to for the issue. To stand there and say such a smart ass, petty and rude comment after THEIR system failed to read the cards is just disrespectful. The manager is an absolute sick in my opinion and I want to go back and support the business but I have no desire to support that prick. Once again, nothing bad about service or the waitress who we were lucky to have both times. But fuck the manager read more

Idk what these others are saying but if this is the only review you read, go here!!! One of the sexiest burgers and delicious drinks spots there are in the area!

Whizzzzzzz.... bonk! "What the bleep?!?" I love trees, but sometimes they fight back. You see, I had co-workers in from out of town who wanted to grab a quick drink and bite to eat before catching a flight out of PDX. Since it was a gorgeous sunny day, North 45 with its outdoor patio, seemed like a great choice. Besides, any place that bills itself as a traveler's pub is right up my alley. The patio out back reminds me a little bit of Europe (so do the exorbitant beer prices). What I wasn't expecting was that most of the patio would be shaded by a large tree and awning so it got a little chilly back there. Still it was nice to kick back on the wood picnic benches and peruse the Belgian beer and food menus until I was hit, not once, but twice, in the head by nuts falling from the tree. My co-workers thought this was hysterical. Me, not so much. They specialize in mussels and we ordered the Provencal style with sea salt herb frites. Since appetizers were half price (all day Monday), we added the Asian style calamari w/sweet chili sauce and sliders for half price. Of all the items, the calamari was my favorite, probably because I could bathe in sweet chili sauce, since I love it so! The Orval beer and my White Cosmo were good, but as others have noted, their cocktails aren't heavy pours. What left a lasting impression, aside from the lump on my noggin, was the slow service. Nothing horrendous happened, but we certainly felt a bit abandoned multiple times during our visit. Also, the server had very limited experience with the Belgian beers on the menu, which is a bit surprising since that's their specialty. I'll be back, with a hat, to give it another try. read more

Beautiful, fresh and perfectly executed menu items, never a disappointment! The pub itself has a great ambience, wonderful bourbon selection that is creatively displayed and an awesome patio tucked away in the back, but I will always return for the exquisite food; first experience surprised me as it was exponentially more than I expected from a quaint little place I was walking by, but I return frequently because the food never falters from absolute perfection. read more

Only good vibes here. It's cold outside but their back patio has a tent over it and heaters which makes it super cozy and warm, but not too hot. Drinks and service are great and the garlic fries are awesome. I love to come here with my friends for food and drinks. read more

Super cute covered outdoor patio seating! My friends and I came on a Wednesday evening and had a great time here. It wasn't too crowded yet, so we were lucky enough to grab a table in the back patio, which is completely covered and heated as well. We were really looking forward to coming here for happy hour, since it's still listed on their website, but was slightly disappointed when our server said they weren't currently doing it. I ordered a Petrus Aged Pale sour, which was very refreshing and tasty. We also ordered the Rosemary Garlic Fries, which were absolutely delicious, with a strong rosemary flavor and freshly fried. Overall, I loved the ambiance of this place and this would be a great place for any occasion! read more

I'm finding myself more frequently over the years at North 45. The appeal to me is the cozy warmth and atmosphere of the bar area and great drinks. North 45 has a nice intimate feel to just hang with your significant other or small group and catch up without being pressured. The bar tenders are on-point with drinks and service and their food is usually equally as good. The outdoor area is nice during both the winter and summer. read more

It's 97 degrees outside. You've got half hour to grab and go. What to do? North 45 caught our attention, as it was close to the movie theater. It was dimly lit casual romantic setting for a pub, and menu drew inspiration from all over the world.... A red beet salad with mouth tingling sauerkraut - which was quite a beautiful presentation on a dark ashen earthenware. Another good vegan item was avocado toast with olive oil and crispy garbanzo beans on a whole wheat bread. Also had French fries which was packed with rosemary flavor with side of mustard. The sad state was we were barely half way done before needing to get a to go box to hit the theater. Portion was generous and price was quite reasonable - we didn't realize it was a Happy Hour (4-6 pm) and didn't even order from that menu. Interior was travel themed with passports and images of various regions. Menu changes incorporating global taste, and it would be nice to return when we've more time to savor the relaxed atmosphere and perhaps try some of the mussels. read more

The drinks are good but the summer salad is not worth it at all!! It was just a bowl of spinach with a few toppings. Don't order it. The garlic on the fries was raw. Wouldn't recommend this place for the food but the drinks and patio are good read more
