The variety of food carts is great too - on our visit we tried four out of five. Between Mama Chows, a gyro cart, fresh pasta, Mexican and smash burgers, you can't go wrong. There's ample indoor seating for the dreary months, plus some outdoor tables by the carts. They do music bingo on Wednesdays and pub trivia on Thursdays , plus happy hour on beers daily from 3-6. The place is new and clean. Good option for many tastes!

Steeplejack is kind of doing what McMenamins does, except in a modern way. They take old buildings,…read morein this case a bank, and repurpose them into food and beverage destinations. Here they have coffee and pastries in the morning, then beer and cocktails in the evening. Out back, they have a small food cart pod, currently including the well-known Mama Chow's Kitchen. Decor is fairly minimal/industrial, which isn't necessarily my favorite. There are some aspects of the bank that remain which is a fun touch. Overall, I think this kind of all-hours/mixed-use business is a great addition to this end of Hawthorne.

If you are not playing Magic the Gathering or D&D, you will feel like the 'weird one'! Beers are good, with a couple lagers, a stout, and some IPA's. The food is surprising! You'd think they'd phone-it-in, but there's a great selection of Latin food. Everything from Cubanos to bowls to burritos.

The atmosphere was electric, everyone was in great spirits, and it felt like exactly where you wanted to be for the holiday! Our waitress was super nice, really made sure we were satisfied and checked on our table multiple times. Much appreciated. The bratwurst topped with caramelized onions was my favorite and it paired perfectly with one of their many beer selections. I would totally stop here again next year for st patty's day!

They've got 26 taps and bottles/cans as well. When I visited in September, the focus was on fresh hop beers. I started with a CBD seltzer then did a flight of four for $14. They have minimal food in-house (cheese plate, pretzels, etc) but partner with nearby eateries to deliver to the taproom and at a discount. Check their website or the table signs for more info.

I knew the best thing I could get him is some good beer & a local told me about this place. Upon entering, a very friendly bartender/employee came over to help. I told her that my partner likes hoppy beers & stouts. She pointed out a couple of her favs, was very informed about the breweries, but didn't push me. I had to get Vice Beer's "To the Windu, to the Maul" which made me laugh. I also got an imperial stout by Kings & Daughters which is local. Pro tips for travelers: You're def allowed to put beer/wine in your checked luggage. I packed cans & bottles but put each in their own gallon ziplock bag just in case but nothing leaked. I was met by a happy partner when I presented him with beer. The customer service will bring me back here for more gifts next time!

Bathrooms are clean, staff are friendly and the hours are reasonable. Lots of unique beer available and the staff will normally let you taste a few before you commit. They do a unique collab with a local taqueria and I had the rice bowl. Portions were generous and prices were standard for the area (18 with all the fixings). Parking is available but only on the street. I usually find a spot in the adjacent neighborhood. Lots of good food options in the vicinity of Mexican food isn't your jam... grab a cold one and mix it up afterwards!

I love this little spot!…read more Once I discovered it, Little Beast quickly became one of my go-to's when visiting the East Side of Portland. I've been here 25-30 times, often for a beer with a friend and either a little lunch or dinner. Its craftsman-like coziness and warm lighting beckon you up the front porch and right up to the bar, where you can order beer and Pretty Boy Pizza to stay, or easily grab some cans to go. Service is quick and very friendly. Little Beast offers a broad variety of their own brews, everything from Stouts, Porters, Lagers a Tripel, even some sours. The selections rotate frequently but they keep a good balance of retaining their mainstays. This weekend, I invited a large group of friends out for some beer and pizzas. Little Beast handled our group well thanks to the individual ordering via QR codes on our tables. Little Beast has many seats outside which they keep covered in the rainy season. Oh, and don't forget to check out their cute merch, signs, shirts, etc! I'll keep coming back.
