Loyal Legion

13 Best Bars in Portland, OR | Condé Nast Traveler

"Even with its sprawling size and massive, oval-shaped bar, Loyal Legion is usually packed, especially on the weekends—but it makes sense. Visiting this bar, the longest in town, is the fastest, most efficient way to explore the massive repertoire of beers the state has to offer. And the best way to do that is with a tasting platter, eight or so small glasses of beers, helpfully labeled on a sheet so you remember what you're drinking. Feel free to count on the bartenders if you need help to decode the choices; they're trained to know each beer, plus the many whiskeys the bar offers." - Alexander Frane
