"Opened in summer of 2018, this cozy pod, ringed with carts and anchored by the small, central Baerlic Brewing tap room (hence the name) serves as a much-needed food hall and community space in Rose City Park, an otherwise sleepy residential neighborhood. In a city where fast-paced development is squeezing out the little guys, it’s as if the owners have taken a firm stance in making sure there’s always a place for Portland’s iconic and groundbreaking food carts, which you'll find in spades here: There's Hapa PDX, which ladles up some of the best ramen in town, and Bing Mi, which brought crispy-crunchy-savory-sweet Chinese crêpes to Portland (and thus induced a cult following), plus Smakken, with its Dutch-style waffle sandwiches, and Flew the Coop, whose juicy, crispy Nashville Hot Chicken sandwich is the stuff of legend." - Danielle Centoni
