    Double Vision pizza
    Lisa C.

    Food was amazing, service outstanding and drinks stood out! Cute place with a nice bar. We came here on a recommendation after hiking Witches Castle. Had the Neighborhood Dog & Brain Glow to drink with the Tommy Pickles sandwich and Double Vision pizza. Definitely would recommend all of the above options.

    One of our go-to breweries in Portland. Great beer and the Detroit style pizza is definitely a hit.

    Service was so great on a wednesday night! Our table shared the caesar salad, which was one of the best I've had! I thought it was perfectly dressed, not too much, the croutons were delicious and I appreciated the black pepper shaker with it! Our pizza had hot honey, pepperoni, peppercini's, and mozzarella cheese. Our waitress was great and replacing our water carafes and asking if the people who ordered drinks wanted refills. She also let us hang out for awhile and chat after she cleared our empty plates. There was a blazers game on and they had that on the tvs, I would say it's a chill spot to hangout and catch up or watch a casual game.

    Detroit Style Pizza

    Excellent Detroit Style Pizza and good beers. The atmosphere is very bright which I love in a bar, clean and they have a nice sized TV. We did go for a major sporting event when it wasn't overly busy so it would have been nice if they could turn the sound on but they weren't able to do so. Overall though, service is good and the employees are friendly. My biggest complaint and deterrent from Ruse is the high beer prices. $8.50 is quite high for a craft beer in Portland, especially when they are brewing it themselves. Would go way more frequently and be a 5 star if not for that.

    Genuinely my favorite brewery in Portland (which is really saying something). Beers are spectacular…read moreand the staff is excellent. I love the space as well, though if you're looking for somewhere for a quiet conversation and welcoming pastels this is NOT your spot. I wish we could bring the kids to hang out with us on the patio at least, but Portland permitting is weird AF. Love the merch, love the tap lists, love the events, love the cooler; what more can I say? To top it all off they have El Viejon serving some of the best mexican food anywhere in Portland right in the joint! I've yet to try a single dish that's not delicious and many are absolute favorites. Get a cali burrito and call it a day; you'll be set! Sam et al; you guys are amazing and we really appreciate you! I genuinely only wish I had more time to come spend enjoying Brujos.

    Brujos is a hidden gem in NW/slabtown that everyone should try at least once…read more They just completed an interior renovation of the bar, and damn, is it ever a cool design and space. I am a big fan of the indoor/outdoor flow for the space, especially on nice weather afternoons like we have had recently. Outdoor seating is limited, so be prepared to sit inside. Interior seating is not the most comfortable, with former church bleachers that are quite bouncy or large and hard game of thrones-like high chairs. The team is super friendly and will send you to the food station or the bar depending on your needs, and, with the good quality Mexican cuisine on service, you'll want a taco or two. The brewery specializes in Hazy/IPAs, to come expecting to enjoy these PNW basics. I swapped between them and non-alcoholic options since hazies are not my favorite but everyone I was with loved them. The restrooms are clean and there are plenty of bike stands to make this a car-free journey.

    Had to go to Mississippi on a Saturday for an errand and figured I might as well make it a fun trip…read moreby getting some beer to take home. Bridgetown Beerhouse wasn't empty but it also wasn't overly crowded like some other nearby places at this time of night. They have some outdoor seating along the store and in the converted street parking. Inside has bar seating with multiple taps and some round tops. TVs had the game on (which game? I don't know, I don't do sports. I just know people were watching and cheering). There are multiple fridges well-labeled with types of beer, which is what I went straight to. I took a while debating what I wanted - the bartender greeted me but didn't offer help choosing. That's fine, they were busy enough, but expect to be on your own here. I ended up finding some winners that I hadn't seen elsewhere so I'm pleased.

Sports on the televisions, decent music playing(depends on who's working). There are plenty of regulars that support this joint but new faces are always welcome.

I recommend coming here, grabbing a beer and enjoying some of their menu items. THE FOOD We had the Reuben and the Greek Salad, chocolate chip cookies. Our group enjoyed pizza, the beet salad and the BLT as well. Everyone enjoyed the meal they ordered and there were 0 complaints. The portion sizes are nice, and the prices are even better. The salad portions for the 1/2 sandwich 1/2 salad combo was huge and I enjoyed every bite. THE DRINKS I tried the non-alcoholic hop water and that was a nice take on a NA drink. I enjoyed it when it was fizzy, and the free re-fill was nice. Later, we tried a custom beer flight, and it was nice to be able to customize the flight. The bartenders will help you craft a custom mix you are happy with. THE ATMOSPHERE Overall, it was lowkey, great atmosphere, the music wasn't too loud, prices were on point. Parking is somewhat easy to come-by depending on when you are rolling up. I would come back here again if I was in the area and I'd feel comfortable bringing a group of friends to gather here for games.
