    There should be a bike rack here.  But it's gone along with my buddy's bike...

    Be wary if you ride your bike here. Coworker parked his bike at the provided bike racks out from. Some jerk put their lock on his. The next morning the whole bike rack was missing with his bike. Good beer I suppose.

    What an awesome spot with indoor and outdoor seating . We ended up sitting at the bar for a quick beer flight . The service was awesome she explained the beers and what one won medals ! We will definitely be back next time we are in Portland!!!

    Enjoyed their patio. Only tried one beer and it was fine, but people seemed to enjoy the food as it was coming out of the kitchen steady and fast

    Great vibe

    I really like it here! Their selection is faboosh, their ciders and incredible, and their bites are pretty yummy too! There is quite a bit of seating inside, and I like how many different types of tables, table configurations, and a beautiful patio for warm summer months. It's a perfect repast after a long shopping trip at Cargo lol

    BBQ Bacon Cheese Burger & Fries

    The service was good, the ambiance was nice! Super clean and trendy place. I ordered the flights of beer- great tasting beer. Ordered the BBQ Bacon burger and it wasn't bad the ingredients were good together but, it was super dry!! and I couldn't taste any BBQ. I normally don't add ketchup or extra salt to a burger but here, I had to oddly add ketchup cause it was so dry! The fries were really good and crispy though. Again, not bad just really dry. I would come back and try something else. My girlfriend said her smash burger was really good!

    Definitely off the beaten path, located in an industrial area along the water, but an awesome find. Their beer is all amazing and they make great mixed drinks as well. Shout out to the bartender who showed some some local gin and make a great gin and tonic with one. The swag at this place is awesome as well, left with a shirt and stickers.

    We enjoy the beer here and the food menu is good, banhi mi fries are amazing. Parking can be a little rough as they have no dedicated lot, but being okay to walk a block and we've always had good success. The staff has always been friendly and efficient with us, aka don't hover but keep tabs on the beer levels.

    The Original And French Fries

    Got some good beers from this local brewery in Burnside. It has a pretty cool location in an old warehouse so it fits in with the gentrification. Wayfinder has lots of beers but there's the food too. Has a variety of styles in the beers to choose from. The prices are pretty okay for around here. Big place that's good for big groups. It's known for the elevated outdoor patio. The beers are the main thing. Has quite a few to choose. It's about $7 a pint. Best one we had the last time was The Original. This is a cold IPA that's clean and clear, and it's hoppy but not too much though. A limited amount of food. It's about $9 for fries. There's not a whole lot to recommend to eat it seems. Has many styles of beers. It's located on SE 2nd Avenue at Oak. The patio is a good place for large parties and other things.

    During a recent trip to Portland, we made our way across the river to enjoy some beer goodness from Wayfinder. The building Wayfinder is housed in was so cool! I loved the big patio and how open the inside space was, which was full of greenery. It was fairly quiet on a Saturday so we were able to enjoy a spot up at the bar. Our bartender was super friendly and helped us sample all 11 beers on draft. I personally loved the Wet Hop Keller Pils and the Laura Palmer Blonde Ale; although all beers were great tasting. They were pretty low on merch, but we were at least able to grab some enamel pins and stickers which was rad. The brewery had large restrooms (separate women's / men's) in back. I loved being able to see the brew tanks while walking from the taproom to the restrooms. Always fun to see the operations of a brewery. A must visit brewery when in PDX!

    Interior

    We had booked Knot Springs and wanted a small snack before so we headed to Wayfinder Beer just a block away. I'm impressed by the size - it's a lot bigger than it looks from the outside, loved the exposed brick and industrial interior. I definitely want to come back during the summer as the outdoor seating looked amazing. It was covered in snow tonight! We ordered the pretzel with cheese and mustard and the Banh mi fries. The pretzel was piping hot and while it was a little unevenly shaped, it was steamy, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The mustard and cheese dipping sauces were on point. The fries had a yummy caramelized cauliflower (please put more of this on the dish it was so good), fresh cucumber and carrot, and a flavorful cream sauce. Everyone was attentive and service was quick.

    Service is friendly fast upbeat reasonably priced. the ambience and interior design of the building is amazing. The old brick work the artwork everything around is perfectly well placed like it was meant to be there I really suggest walking around and taking in the art and the placement of it ,everything seems to have its purpose and placed accordingly great music and vib

    Ask the Community - Wayfinder Beer

    Is this a good place to hold a meeting of less than 10 people?is it noisy?

    good place for a meeting if it's during slower/quieter time of the day.

    Does wayfinder have TVs?

    No, We do not have T.V.s. We feel it would distract from beer drinking.

    Are minors allowed?

    I believe so, because I saw young children with their parents in the outdoor patio area when I was there in late July 2018.

    Is this a good place to work during the weekends and is there WiFi?

    Yes, we do offer public wifi and we have a lot of table space if you'd like to use it while you enjoy our delicious beer!

    Do they have a dog friendly section? Outside/patio dog friendly?

    Well behaved dogs are allowed on our patio. They must remain on a leash. We have several water bowls available for thirsty pups.

    Are there any gluten free options besides a salad?

    Yes we have many other options on the menu that are gluten free. Some options include Steak frites, Grilled trout, all of our sausages, all of our sides and most of our starters to name a few. Come on in and the staff will happily work with you to… Read more

It is genuinely cozy in a way that's hard to fake The reading rooms are such a great touch. Having tucked away spaces lined with books to actually sit and read, talk, or hang out in is so rare in a bar setting. It makes it feel more like a community space than just another tap house. At the same time, it works really well for large groups, we've rolled in deep before and never had an issue finding room to spread out. The beer selection is excellent. Thoughtful and rotating enough to keep things interesting without being overwhelming. Whether you want something hoppy, something dark, or something easy drinking, they've got you. And the left wing vibe is the cherry on top. It's refreshing to spend time in a space that wears its politics on its sleeve, pro-labor, pro-community, unapologetically itself. It feels like a place built for the people who actually live in the neighborhood.

Outstanding! This space suits so many purposes: studying, catching up over a drink, planning/researching, etc. There's even a conference room with seating for 11 that you can reserve. You can play board games here if no one's home is big enough for your group (their website says they no longer book the conference room for board games, but you can game there if it's not reserved). There's a few games in the upstairs green room closet. On a Sunday afternoon, there were plenty of spots open, but it is not dead either. Theres a variety of seating to suit all body types and preferences. First floor is wheelchair accessible. The upstairs bathroom has ducks on the ceiling so that's worth a visit alone. The blueberry rooibos iced tea is delicious and you add your own sweetener at the drink station. It literally feels like hanging out at a friend's house. Worth popping in if you haven't been. You can check the current drink selection on their website. You order in the entryway and then carry your items to your seat. Bus your dishes back to the entryway when you leave.

So many records store have the records jampacked and it's incredibly time-consuming to go through to find what you're looking for or just browsing is a pain. That is not the case here as you will see by my pictures! There are so many records to choose from and they are constantly adding to their inventory. Today they have six beers on tap, one cider and they offer wine by the glass. I also have a case where you can pick up beard to go or drink it in house for a small corkage fee. I had a nice chat with the owners and look forward to chatting with them again soon. I wish The Record Pub an abundance of success and plan on stopping after work to have a refreshing drink!

You can absolutely smell the fish and vinegar as soon as you walk through the door, which I think gives the place a very homey pub feel. I ordered a spiked peach Arnold Palmer, which I enjoyed (and it was pleasantly strong) and a glass of the house white, which was good for the price. Our server was very fast and attentive. To eat I got the tomato soup with a grilled cheese, which was absolutely fantastic. The soup was so creamy and flavorful, and I cannot imagine a better meal after spending all day walking outside in the rain. The fries were super crispy and I liked the batter. My partner and I shared some of their breadsticks, which were deliciously baked (fresh!) and came with a super refreshing basil crema and a nice tomato-y dip. Wonderful all. My partner ordered fish and chips, and was surprised to find that it is one large fillet of fish, not multiple pieces like you would typically expect. He said the fish was fine, but a little tough. Overall, a wonderful experience. I definitely hope to return. I highly recommend this place as a refuge during the cold winter months!
