Laurelwood makes some of the best craft beers in Portland. They've won tons of medals for their beers. Try the award winning Workhorse IPA! Good food across the board as well. Unpretentious vibe, family friendly, and cool staff. Good happy hour prices, and check out the "Thirsty Thursdays" at 3pm in the Brewer's Den upstairs for $2 cups of a different beer each week and it ends when the keg is dry! Highly recommended.

Again, excellent craft beers and a menu that prides itself on organic produce and ingredients. Definitely not your typical pub food. Nice place to sit on their patio with down-to-earth folks that love beer and really good food. Try the Breakside IPA! Highly recommended.

Belmont Station has a tap room with one of the best beer selections in town. Cool staff and good service. Sit at the bar or a small table. Connected to the tap room is the bottle shop with around 1200 beers, 6 packs or singles. They have cold beers, or you can take a beer from the shelf where they'll do a "quick chill" and you can drink it there. I believe they have a decent selection of ciders as well. Behind the bottle shop, on S.E. 45th, or go out the back of the tap room to Monk's Deli for excellent sub sandwiches. (grinders, Philly cheesesteak, Cubano, Italian Hoagies etc.) Grab a sandwich and enjoy it in the tap room! Highly recommended!
Typically open 10am - 11pm
