Love this place! Keegan is hands down a fantastic bartender--well, beer pourer and Old Fashioned maker--in town. And speaking of that Old Fashioned: at $11, it's easily the best you'll find anywhere around here. I've tried them all, and this one stands out. The food is just as impressive. The Tamale Boy nachos are the best nachos I've ever had--no exaggeration. And the Ranch Pizza? Incredible. It's a thicker, deep-dish style, so if that's your thing, you're going to love it. They've usually got 70+ drinks on tap, which is unmatched in Happy Valley. No other spot comes close to this level of selection. The staff really makes the place, too. Emma is fantastic--super kind, easy to talk to, and always makes you feel welcome. And John? Easily one of the coolest guys in the building. Great drinks, great food, great people--this place just delivers. read more

Valley Public House nails the cocktails. A well-made Old Fashioned is my go-to here--balanced, smooth, and the perfect pairing with food from spots like Ranch, especially when the food provider doesn't serve alcohol. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Great drinks, great atmosphere, and exactly what you want alongside a solid meal.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Valley Public House - Old fashioned - Pubs Near Me - Happy Valley, Oregon

We came here tonight for a friends birthday party. I was really impressed with everything they had. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There is plenty of seating throughout the establishment.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They have a few different food options, some from vendors and some in house (all are inside). They have a bar on the main floor as well as the basement. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Theres also a game room in the basement (that has its own bar) that you pay to enter but game for free. Mostly pinball but a few retro arcade games and a shuffle board.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The service was great. Everyone was really friendly. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]This is a great relaxing spot.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Good indoor and outdoor seating and the pizza and tamales spot inside offers some good food for everyone.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Beer selection on the taps was huge, and some real gems. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Was kid friendly on the restaurant side and plenty of parking.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Great beer, think I got a sour and it was delicious!! tamale boys is delicious, love this place. Mexican food plus good beer? What more could you ask for. read more

A great local spot with a good beer selection and drinks! The staff is great too. With the 2 restaurants/vendors inside and the bar menu there are plenty of tasty food options. There is Tamale Boy & Ranch Pizza on the main floor. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Outdoor seating on nice days is another bonus.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]There is also a pinball bar in the basement that is lots of fun, with free play on all the machines for a 1 time cover charge of $10.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Family friendly too![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

I'm not usually one for bad reviews, but their advertising is very misleading. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Their website says FAMILY FRIENDLY PATIO, yet when you arrive you are directed to sit at the "minor table" next to the front door in the parking lot.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]No heaters/firepits available for families.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The nice patio is 21+.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]It feels like being shunned away with your children, and they advertise being family friendly just to get people in the door.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Very disappointing. I hope they update the website to reflect this. read more

Bartender was very helpful assisting party of 4 on choices. I had a cider that I enjoyed very much, the rest of the group liked the beers enough to order another round so that is a good sign! We ordered Pizza and tamales from the restaurants in the back. Everyone agreed the food was good . I particularly loved the green pork tamale. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Hoping for some warm weather soon, the patio seems like a fine neighborhood place to hang out.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Great service from the bar and they have a great pizza place attached. Their own food is good as well. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Has nice outdoor seating with a nice view.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Portland cider company's cinnamon roll cider is delicious. Love this tap house because there are also two restaurants: tamale boy and ranch pizza are both located inside the tap house. Spacious and cozy, but I love going here on summer days because the patio is a quiet hideaway. However it's usually busy whenever I attend so it's definitely the hotspot in Happy Valley. read more

Valley Public House - Ciders - Pubs Near Me - Happy Valley, Oregon

Public is frequented about once a week with the boys. Solid spot to watch a sports game, good selection of beers on tap and Ranch is a good choice for food. Our usual bartenders are great, my girlfriend always gets samples before deciding on her drink and they don't seem to mind. Plenty of seating, indoors and out, although it may be limited outside when the weather is nice. read more

My friends and I came into this place to do some studying and have lunch. We started to do some work and we were not even there for an hour when this elderly lady (looked like manager or owner) told us that this is an "establishment" and that if we weren't ordering anything we'd need to leave. I told her that we we're about to order pizza and somehow that prompted her to say that this place was not a "living room". [[HIGHLIGHT]]Mind you, there were multiple people there with laptops out.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We were appalled and left. Just lost 3 customers. Maybe learn how to talk to people. read more

Got very ill there a week or so ago from either food from Mexican restaurant, the porous dirty plastic water cups that are years old, [[HIGHLIGHT]]the nasty splattered napkin holders ( what is this a cafeteria)[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]], or [[HIGHLIGHT]]the crumb embedded QR code plaques stuck to the table[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. Oh and the imprinted beer glasses are scratched and faded partly off. [[HIGHLIGHT]]This place needs serious attention and updating to a cleaner environment.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Gross. read more

Lots of yummy beer choices, with lots of seating. If things are too crowded downstairs, there's more upstairs. Staff are friendly and are happy to let you taste before you buy. read more

This place rocks!! From a huge selection of drinks to the great selection when it comes to food, I love coming here! Theres plenty of seating, outside, at the bar, and on the cute cozy couches in the corner. It's a cute spot, and they host some pretty fun events here. From charity nights to pints and pups (if they don't still do this, they NEED to bring it back. Puppies available for adoption while enjoying a drink? Are you kidding me?!!) this place has it all! The staff is always nice and friendly. For how busy it can get here, they're always on top of it! If you're in the area, definitely stop by for a drink, and order a slice of pizza while you're at it! read more

Very impressive drink menu. If you are not into drinking alcohol I would not recommend. Non-alcoholic drinks are served in cans and are very limited. They gave us paper straws...yuk! The side of the place that is not "21 and over" is like sitting in a cafeteria (noisy and lots of echos). You have to walk up to one of two counters to order food. One counter is for pizza and the other is for a gourmet Mexican food. The menu for Tamale Boy is hard to comprehend. They use ingredients that you don't normally see. We ordered pizza. It was $22 for a square pizza. The pizza had the thickest pizza I've seen. You can order a 1/4 pizza for $7. I also order a Caesar salad. The salad only had radicchio (no other lettuce) which is strange for a Caesar. Our food was brought to us in to-go containers. There is a sign on the table that says you have to bus your own table. When you pay for your food at the counter the visa machine defaults to a 15% tip that you have to override. Seriously??? They want a 15% tip when you have to stand at a counter to order and then have to bus your own table? The "21 and over" bar was busy. If you're not going to sit in the bar for an alcoholic drink I would not recommend. read more

Great spot. Lots of beer selections to choose from. Can be a bit busy so parking is a little troublesome on a Friday night

We are fortunate to have this place as our local public house. With almost 70 beer/cider/wine/etc taps, a whiskey bar/steakhouse downstairs and Ranch and Tamale Boy upstairs, it's hard to justify going anywhere else. Service is great, plenty of TVs, patio heat and fire pits, clean taps, good list rotation, and sometimes you can find Alchemist cans and Russian River bottles for sale to go. If it was walking distance from our house it would be perfect :-) I don't do video lottery but they have that if that's your thing read more

I hate to say it but this was the worst $16 I have spent on a burger. It was nothing like the picture on the menu. Very thin patty, gobs of mayo, barely any cheese and scant wilted lettuce. Utterly disappointing. Would much rather spend less and go to one of my favorite food trucks for 100% better quality, freshness and flavor, all for less $$. I wouldn't bother with this place if you are looking for fresh higher quality food. read more

I've been a fan of this place since they opened. Now they have a new pub menu the makes this the best place for a burger and beer in the Portland Metro area!! I wish I would Have taken a pic and I will next time!! Well worth the trip!! read more

I love this place! Delicious cocktails, and excellent service. Special thanks to AJ and Sabina @ whiskey, barrel lounge, for always taking the best care of us! read more

Love this place. It's our go to spot for drinks and quick food. Beer selection is robust, classic cocktails and great service. Owners are awesome and the staff is super friendly. Access to Ranch, Tamale Boy and the Whiskey Lounge menus. Love it here. read more

New review: Don't waste your time or your money. I voiced my displeasure about the lack of customer appreciation and was told to leave and "not come back." I was polite and tried to voice my opinion about past problems. read more

This is a great spot to come and grab some food and drink! The patio space in the back is spacious and actually pretty warm for being outside! There is also a ton of seating out front with heat lamps that provide a bit more comfort in this cold weather. I do wish that there were more food options available, but I'm sure there are more to come. The patios are also dog-friendly! There were so many dogs, and so many friendly people that wanted to say hi to ours. It's a really great atmosphere! read more

Great beer selection and good service. Locally owned. Food is solid too. Check out the restaurant downstairs

Cool spot! So many beers on tap! I also appreciate that they have ciders on tap as well! The tables were pretty socially distanced and the staff was really friendly. Great spot to grab a drink and a bite to eat! read more

Great neighborhood spot for casual drinks & food. They also have an upscale dining experience downstairs for those looking for such. VPH has a great selection of cider on tap and the fire pits on the back patio make for a cozy evening. read more

Very unimpressed. The bar side is where you have to order your beer, and there are no minors allowed. If you were to stop in here with your child, you would have to leave them alone on the side they're allowed to be on to get your drink. It would be much more modern and functional if they put QR codes at the tables so you can order your beer from anywhere and get it taken to your table. Or just make the whole thing minor friendly. Since there is food there I don't think it's a legal issue I think it's a choice. Very dark inside very bland looking, very freezing and tamale boy was super cold. Good beer but nothing else good. read more

Awesome outdoor seating area! Huge beer selection and now, food too! Love the public house atmosphere... a friendly place you want to hang out in! read more

Favorite new hang out spot. The staff is friendly, the drinks are cold, and the pizza is MY FAVORITE in driving distance. It can get busy and loud but that has never bothered me. read more

Great outdoor area. Love that they allow dogs. They have really good selection of beers and kombucha and other items.

We have been to VPH 2 times. The first time, we said we would not be back. Well, we tried it again. Confirmed our original opinion. It's cold, loud and seating is very uncomfortable. Maybe cafeteria style eating and drinking is not our cup of tea. Pizza too thick and bready. Cold entree from Tamale. Was hoping for a better venue. Maybe it will improve over time;) read more

I had met my friends for a drink...out side!!! I was super late....Being last to join I only had two bees, and when I went to order a round the server told me I NEEDED a water. Hmm thank you but that is not why I'm here.I was rudely refused service and so were my other girl friends. read more

Wonderful place and dog friendly! Local neighborhood pub. Great drinks, the food it ok, could be better.

Cool little pub with restaurants inside. They definitely do social distancing in the bar. To order you have to go to the bar and order. The food you can order and they'll actually bring to your table regardless of which side you're sitting on. Many beers/ciders on tap. read more

Best tap list in Oregon. Period. Please please whatever you do don't go here and order a Coors Light! read more

Awesome place! I love the ambience, the huge choice of beers, wines, and ciders, as well as the food. The staff is attentive and the guests seem like a great bunch of people, half of whom all seem to know each in some way. It's a very warm, friendly vibe. Can't wait to experience the Whiskey Bar Lounge when it opens downstairs. I'm looking forward to spending more time there. read more
