"Local beers are easy to find in Hillsboro, and ABV might be the city’s most popular brewpub. Here, the food has equal importance to the regional beers on tap, including Hillsboro-based options like Vertigo’s raspberry wheat and Helvetia Cider’s Son of a Peach. Bar food includes a Nashville chicken sandwich, as well Italian Dirty Fries topped with bacon, Mama Lil’s peppers, and rosemary aioli." - Krista Garcia, Janey Wong

ABV is a must go for anyone working in the Hillsboro Area. If you are visiting a friend out in Hillsboro I recommend coming here for lunch or dinner. The food is a very well priced for the large portions they give. I had a seasonal Irish Blarney sandwich. It was very tasty and filling. The server was also very attentive and responsive. If you are a beer lover then this place is essential if you live or work in the area. You can enjoy lots of beers on tap if you eat in. But if you are on your way out to enjoy your weekend they have a superb bottle shop with lots of options of great and diverse beers. Come in for the great selection of beers to go.

I've never had a bad meal here. The food is incredible, the drinks are plentiful, and if you feel like throwing axes, you can. This Elk Burrito was hands down the best thing I've eaten this year thus far. Highly recommended 👌🏽 👍 👏

This is a really good place to eat and have a beer. The hamburgers are very good. The beer choices are awesome. The service is good and friendly. What is awesome about this place? Is they have an indoor ax throwing cages in the restaurant. The only negative I’ve experienced here is the big change in french fries some of them are very good. Others are not good huge potatoes I couldn’t even call them french fries. But I highly recommend having lunch here and grabbing a pint.

Great service and great people all around. The food was good and service was timely. But, try their beers. They have a great selection. Do yourself a favor and walk around the fridges and pick something for home.

Awesome Service, great vibes, low-key, hundreds of options for drinks, rotating taps and coolers of ipas/ciders/beers/lagers/pilsners etc. Great food, a little spicier than I was expecting from a place like this but I was pleasantly surprised. Delicious elk burrito, salsa and fries are bomb.

Great place to get some beer. Rotating tap and plenty of cans to choose from. They do have cidar options for those that do not want beer. Their food is solid and have good service. They recently added 3 lanes for are throwing. They do take reservations for the axe throwing and if the lanes are open they will take walk ins too.

This is cool and hidden spot for beer lovers, they a huge selection of beers in cans and some fresh ones on the tap. The food is amazing and We ate coconut shrimps, churios, fries and some beer. They have installed axe throwing inside the bar which was new.

Cocktails! So glad they started offering cocktails. The black manhattan was incredible! Must try their Oklahoma onion burger. Seriously the best burger I've ever had. I'll be back!!

This is a very secret culinary gem. Tucked away in an industrial park, with no signage other than a tiny A-frame on the sidewalk, you have to really search to find this place. It's worth the trouble. 34 taps and hundreds of bottles of beer make for a beer lovers paradise. That's great! Tape #7 had a marvelous wild ale with cherries, The Kreik. It paired perfectly with the amazing clam pizza. The food is elevated from common pub grub. Thought and love have gone into its making. The result is delicious! Get the clam pizza half with bacon, so you have both tastes. It will change the way you consider pizza, it's that good! There's axe throwing there, but it's the pizza throwing that makes it a destination.

The food was amazing pub food. Great quality! The service was great! One dude booking it around taking everyone's orders. I server. Two bartenders. Love the ambiance, music was killer and best sports on the television. Bought a ton of sour beers to go. Great evening with friends! Thanks for having us! It was our first time here! We will return!

Omg!!!! ABV finally has cocktails. I'm so exited and they're tasty. The food here is always good. The pizza is phenomenal. The pork shanks with Korean bbq, yum. If you haven't been for a while, check them out again. They also offer axe throwing on site.

A family member chose to celebrate their birthday here, so I was looking forward to trying this new place. Anyways sad to say I was very disappointed with how it went, first of all idk who the waiter was but he was definitely either drunk or high as heck on something I couldn't even tell you what, he had a very passive aggressive demeanor about him so that was cool. I ordered the "PigMac" and the German pretzel, the pigmac may look good on picture but it was just a sloppy mess, pretzel was also very mid. So yeah food and service seem poor and not like their specialty. The ambiance and interior is very quirky, why have axe throwing right next to people who are trying to eat? And the place just felt overall kinda dirty and gloomy. I would not recommend this place outside of the alcohol and brew.

This brew pub is hard to find, tucked away in a warehouse park...but well worth the effort. Great beer selection, great food, friendly service, priced fairly. Nothing not to like about ABV.

This was a very nice place to hang out. It's in a strip mall so don't freak out if you think you are lost. There was one waitress and one busser when we went. The waitress was running around like crazy and working very hard. We all ordered many different items. I got the clam pizza and boy was it huge and delicious. Definitely a two person size. Others got burgers and different bar foods. The walls are lined with refrigerators full of different beers. When back in the area, I am definitely going back. They had bar seats but no one was sitting at the bar. It's seat as you please. Definitely a fun place.

Great fun with axe throwing and tasty food and drink. We had the clam pizza and on half of it added bacon - the crust was so crispy and thin and garlicky delicious. We got beer flights and they had a wide variety of beers and ciders to choose from. Staff was friendly and atmosphere relaxed. Our new local watering hole!

Large selection of beers, friendly service and excellent food. The best was the chicken Caesar, it shocked us all by being one of the best we have ever enjoyed. Solid fries and pizza.

Love this spot. They don't openly advertise, but always seem to be packed. They have a great selection of food and drinks and I love that you can grab a drink from the coolers inside of the shop. there's always something new to try or that I've never seen before. Service is always a bit slow but the staff is always friendly. Who can complain when you have a delicious beverage in your hand?

Yelp
I needed a burger, all of us did. So we go to this spot in an industrial complex and find exactly that. Great little beer joint with an enormous selection of tap, canned and bottled beers. The menu is small yet all encompassing for the beer drinking crowd. We had the double smashed, single smashed, kids smashed, veggie burger and a load of sweet potato waffle fries! When I said I needed a burger, this was the burger I needed. Really great burger. I love these kind of places.

Just get the elk burger, stop thinking just get it. You will not be disappointed. Abv Elk Burger

Good food and cool atmosphere, sadly the service was really poor. We were a party of 7, and we almost had to beg for attention, after 20 min of being seated the server came to ask our drinks order. Then 20 minutes later for the appetizers.. the actual food was a longer waiting time, he came to take our order but apologize saying that he wasn't mean to be rude but he was going to take an small table order first and then he would take ours.. he took at least 30 min to came back. They were 7 plates, and I asked sweet potatoes instead of regular fries and I didn't have sweet potatoes, another person in my party asked for some custom stuff in her sandwich who also got ignore it. Even with the really lack of service all the food was tasty. Maybe they don't have enough personal, or we just picked a bad night to go.

Sad to say after Covid this is the second time we have been in to have dinner, beers and cider. I'm guessing they are feeling the pain of being short staffed like so many places. Someone finally said the hostess will be with us in a few minutes. We waited 5-10 minutes and then the same grumpy gentleman that helped us on our last visit seated us. He may be the manager or the owner, but he's definitely not a man of many words or friendly for that matter. The person greeting folks and seating them is usually a tad bit more friendly. Now the food....Oh the food. Burgers and Sandos are now a La carte. New menu with a lamb burger, Mason Hill Wagyu smash burger (single or double) or an ABV Nashville chicken sandwich that you can pick the level of heat , dress it up Traditional Nashville style or Northwest Style. You can also add cheese and bacon. Sweet potato waffle fries replaced the sweet potato tots they used to have that were delicious. Today we started with the sampler platter. It was literally a box of store bought items I've purchased myself from US Food Chef Store. All fried: Mozzarella sticks, jalapeño poppers, coconut shrimp, lumpia and fried pickles. 4 of each with 3 dipping sauces for $25 bucks. Sad that the rest of the menu went away. They had some really good food and interesting combinations. They do still have a variety of appetizers and beer cheese soup. The pretzel we have had before was ok and it's still on the menu as well. Love the rotating beer and cider taps and what you can't find on tap they have a huge variety in all the fridges around the seating area. They so charge $1.50 opening fee for beers or ciders under ten bucks. You can also purchase cans and bottle to go if you find something that you like.

Yelp
The axe throwing was overpriced. You pay per person instead of renting the lane per hour. We had a large group which meant I only threw 10 times. Didn't seem worth $27 dollars (they charged us well over $100 dollars for 1 hour) The food was meh and the service was lacking. The food runner could have bussed tables instead of staring at the window waiting for food. The dishes from the previous guest were still on our table when we left.

ABV seems to have come out of the pandemic with their same top notch kitchen as before. The menu remains limited, but everything we've had on it is delicious. Their dirty Italian fries are the guiltiest of guilty pleasures, order them immediately upon sitting down & ponder the beer menu while happily munching on them. The tap list remains extensive and continues to have beer in nearly every category, as well as some ciders and other things if that's how you roll... Haven't gotten past the tap list to look at the bottled options, but they are voluminous & a fun spectacle to peruse while dining. The burgers are cooked expertly, and they continue to have rotating specials.

Michael G.

Yelp
They advertise that they are a bottle shop... This is in fact not true. My wife stopped by to pick up a bottle or 3 and was told she had to order food. That's not a bottle shop.... That's a restaurant. She did comment that they seemed to go out of the way to be rude and demanding of her. Other reviews around the web confirm that others have had the same treatment. I encourage everyone to speak with your dollars and tell this establishment that false advertising and rude treatment will not be tolerated.

Great spot. Don't be fooled by the light industrial strip mall exterior. It's what's inside that counts. Great beer selection, service and excellent food. Will be back for sure.

Great food and great place. They have limited entree's in the menu nowadays. Wagyu smash burger, Nashville chicken sandwich and pulled Nacho's were good ( no fries and salad) part of it. Some of their old items like Vietnamese shanks , elk burgers are all gone. Hope they reintroduce them back at some point.

Came in for dinner after a Hops game that was a 4:05 start. It is Memorial Day Weekend so lucky for us the place was less packed than usual. Prompt service with their usual awesome beer selection. I noticed on the menu that they remove the Deviled Eggs (insert crying emoji). Nonetheless, we ordered Coconut Shrimp, a salad, Nashville Hot Chicken sando, and chicken wings (wife went without sauce). The shrimp was perfectly done and GBAD with the killer sweet heat sauce. Salad looked great and must have been so as none was left. The chicken sando was awesome juicy with just the right amount of heat and the bun was pillow soft. The wings were delicious with just a sprinkle of seasoning. This place never disappoints.

The burgers and sandwiches no longer come with a side salad or fries, bummer. Still, good food and beer. Nice and friendly staff. Ambiance is nice. Prices went way up, as everywhere.

Cristina C.

Yelp
Unfortunately, this place is slowly falling from what it once was. The server has always been amazing. She is literally the same one we get each time. Their brew selection is fantastic! Their menu changes are just sad. The nachos are terrible (comparatively speaking), and their lumpia is on par with the frozen lumpia you get at winco. Half the kitchen was closed, completely understandable with being short staffed, but there is no excuse to not tell us when we checked in. 30 minute wait to find out no salads or pizza. That would've been nice to know. It wasn't even noted on their Facebook page. Very poor leadership, very sad.

Fantastic selection of beers to take home, decent tap menu, and good food. I wish there were more vegetarian options and I hate that the one veggie entrée is the disgusting Impossible burger - seriously, I do not know why otherwise good restaurants have that garbage on their menus. I don't know a single person that would eat one. A grilled cheese with optional add-ons or a grilled veggie sandwich or literally anything else would be better. Anyway. If you ignore that nasty burger option, the rest of the menu is promising. Hubby got the fiddy-fiddy burger and said it was in the top 5 burgers he's had in the area. The fries that came with it were excellent. Friends got the coconut shrimp and the double-burger and both were very happy with their meals. I tried the beer-cheese soup and a side salad. The soup was way too thick but it was decent for dipping the pretzel into. Salad was basic but fresh and fine. Pretzel was a good soft pretzel, nothing special but good enough. Again, better veggie options would be a plus. Service was excellent, both the bartender and our waiter were very friendly and helpful. We loved the selection of beers in fridges that you can drink there (for a small cap-age fee) or take home, really reasonably prices and some gems in those fridges!! We took home a box of beer! Definitely a place worth checking out.

Do not go here. It was slammed and the service was terrible. They had 2 servers and the place was packed. Also, if you are gluten free, they have no gluten free food options. My husband ordered a burger to go and they didn't even put the order in correctly- it came with no fries and was cold. Seriously, don't waste your time going here when there are far better tap houses in the area.

This morning when I went to work, I was under the impression that my wife and kids were going to Red Robin. I also thought that I wouldn't be able to join them due to my shift. It was about 2 or so when I happened to look at my phone. There was a message. "Change of plans. Tired of Red Robin. Going to ABV". This was ok with me seeing as the best thing on their menu is fish and chips. Kind of odd for a "burger joint". Kind of like Dutch Bros calling themselves a coffee house. But I digress... I got off of work around 5:30 and called the other 3/4. Turns out they were en route and i wasn't going to be stuck with pb&j or grilled cheese at home. I got there and sauntered in. I joined them at the table and started to admire all of the cool artwork on the beer/cider cans. I am not much of a drinker, but I do enjoy creativity. So I was thinking about getting chicken wings, but my wife made the executive decision of buying a appetizer plate for the table. Korean barbecue was the flavor that they settled on. Good thing too because I didn't want to die by "Suicide Wings" and wings with peanut sauce makes my stomach turn. It turns out that everyone at the table had a different opinion about the wings. My daughter was indifferent (reason to follow), my wife and sister-in-law had food regret and wished that they had gotten the dry rub. My son thought they were 7/10 spicy, but I thought they were 3/10 spicy. Anything with sesame seeds couldn't be that hot. Anyway I ended up having half of the plate. I had no problem with that. Now let's get to the entrees. My daughter was the outlier. I don't know if they have Mac and cheese (her go to), but she got the biggest pretzel I have ever seen. It makes the pretzel at Ron Tonkin Field **Go Hops** look like a Ritz Cracker. She didn't even dip it, she just systematically pulled it apart and chowed down. Everyone else (except my son who got a kids burger) got the signature ABV burger. It is so nice when you order something "Medium Rare" and it comes to you exactly that way. Warm with just enough pink in the middle, and so juicy that it makes the roll almost like a French dip, but still able to hold up to it. The burger and bacon were delicious and the accompanying fries were just as good. Super crispy and delicious. The whole meal including appetizer and drinks worked out to be $70 before tip. This was probably what we would have spent at Red Robin with not nearly as good results. Not sure why this place isn't on the Best of Hillsboro list and Helvetia Tavern is. Sooooo good

Updated Review: I've been coming to this place for the last 5-years, and I can honestly say that my experiences for the most part have all been great, all up til my last visit. I came a little late to my party, and I had asked for a beer. Server said "nope, sorry you were late" and walked away. He was joking, but had left for a while before taking my beer order. So initially I didn't take it as a joke. My Down and Out burger was NOT the usual I get. Seemed like it was rushed, straight out of the freezer and microwaved. Definitely did not taste the same. Different meat source? I don't know but it was a little off from normal. My cheese wasn't even melted when it came to my table. Not sure if it's a brand new set of staff members, as I didn't recognize any of them, but the vibes just weren't the same. Hardly a greeting, and when they were closing, we had no one inform us that they would be closing soon. Instead, they just began to shut the lights out and expect us to know. On our way out, no "thank you for coming," just some staring. Maybe a bad day? Who knows.

My family and I love this hole in the wall spot! It's definitely a tap house that you find via word of mouth. It's small, very cozy, has an extensive tap list, and you can grab and go almost any kind of beer. The food is incredible and the staff is very kind. I highly recommend the ABV Pretzel and their burger. This is our go to for a relaxing night with family and friends.

Yelp
Nashville chicken sandwich was super basic but very tasty. Burgers were basic but did the trick. Fries were a little mushy and kids grilled cheese was a burger bun turned inside out which was a little weird. Overall not a bad quick lunch

Benjamin A.

Yelp
WAAAAAAY too expensive. And I'll say like everyone else did the burgers don't come with a side ??? It's extra ??? Uhhhh. Also the axe throwing might be cool but extremely loud and annoying when you're trying to hangout and talk and vibe to be honest. Rather go to John's marketplace. :(

I used to visit this place pre-COVID a lot... was a great place for lunch with teammates and for after work gatherings. They were closed for dine in for quite a while and have now opened once again. We loved the Summer Panzanella Salad... delicious with just the right amount of vinaigrette and tasty nectarines. The Green Chile Burger was done perfectly and tasted great. The sweet potato crinkle fries were crisp and tasty, but the rosemary aioli sauce was thick and bland. The ABV Chicken Bacon Pesto was not quite as good, with a well seasoned chicken, but a very crispy bacon and soggy bread. The Peach Blueberry Cobbler was on the larger side, tasted good and plenty to share! With limited capacity and staff, we did have to wait a while to get in, get served and to get our food. The prices seem to be much higher than pre-COVID times, and at least in this visit the food was not as tasty as I remembered from the past.

Visiting from California, My son suggested we try this place. A. Hard to find B. Sooo worth it!!!! Crazy good burgers, excellent choice of beers. And all the house-made sauces and dips just made everything extra special good. Had the burger and it was amazing! Must try, Shout out to ABV brewery

Lee T.

Yelp
The burgers are good. But they are $20 each now! For just the burger? Fries are extra. It is not worth it. Shame because they are tasty. But not $20 tasty. The waitress was nice though and I could tell she was even a little embarrassed about the insanely high prices.

Jaison D.

Yelp
I have visited this place more than 10 times and each time they gave the same experience, as same great food, wide range of beer collection and excellent service. ABV burger, Fidy Fidy burger, Imposible are some of the best burgers in town. Also try theit Elk burger if you are fine with slight game smell. Its worth trying. Chicken wings with spicy spicy suicide sauce is a must try for the spice lovers. Its hot, really hot and can burn your lips A good place for team get-together, with small kids, and for a Friday beer evening

This is a go to with some of our friends who live in the area. They have great options all around. Their grilled Caesar salad is always a tasty option and they have tons of sandwich and pizza options to choose from.

Christine L.

Normally I would give this a higher rating... but they have purged their menu. Most if the items I enjoyed are gone. It is now all about appetizers. And an extra charge for using a card. It will no longer be on my list of eating places. Really sad to see this happened.

Kevin W.

Yelp
This place would be amazing if it had more TVs and bigger drink menus. Came here during happy hour and the food was good. I tried the wings, korean tacos, and happy hour burger. The happy hour burger is small and basic. Plus it doesn't even come with fries. Spend the extra money and grab a better burger. The Korean tacos where the best thing I ate. The wings were decent. The suicide sauce is spicy but not uncontrollabe. The mango bbq tasted great. They have almost 40 beers on tap. They have a wall of refrigerators where you can grab a beer. There is a $1.50 fee for drinking on the premises.

Johnny L.

Yelp
Oh man.. this place be good.. I mean it is good.. Their Deviled Eggs are the best.. in particular the ones I had in rotation had the flavors and texture to it; specifically, it had that that horseradish, tangy, savoriness taste to it with that texture from the fried onion on top of thee egg.. oh so good! We wouldn't have ordered this if it wasn't for the server.. also this is one of their things that is temporary on their menu as they always try something different Their burger is really fresh tasting.. thin patty cooked to a perfect medium as requested.. with some good fries on the side Excellent wings.. had their Szechuan sauce, Korean sauce pretty tasty Good grilled salad Excellent beer with their take on Hef Incredible service Low key place near industrial area Highly recommend

It's fine, but Dannie C.'s review hit home. My family and I have been coming here for about seven years. My father in law and I are regular customers at Mainbrew and always loved (and still love) sampling off of their kegs while picking up supplies for our own beers. When ABV opened, it was novel for Hillsboro. Walls of take-away beer fridges, big elk-and-beef burgers, chili verde everything. It was a lovely addition, and it was just nice to have something here that wasn't McMenamins. But times changed and the town changed. McNally's opened downtown. Wildwood and Prime popped up further east, Mazama opened right near Orenco tap, Three Mugs opened its own brewery right by Vertigo. Suddenly there were options, and a lot of them were $1 to $2 less per pour than ABV. Other things changed as well. New Seasons, Whole Foods and even Albertsons/Safeway began curating their beer selections. Schmizza, of all places, began devoting more attention toward the beers and ciders on its taps. Then, during the pandemic, Portland breweries began delivering directly to Hillsboro. Now? Even Helvetia Farm and Blooming Junction have amazing beer selection. Downtown has a cart pod right outside Noble Hop. Prime debuted a primarily Asian menu. And, in the coup de grace, both Cedar Hills and Old Town Beaverton began drawing Portland breweries west. What did ABV do? It dug more firmly into the geek niche: More rarez and haze, higher-priced pours, more East Coast cans... and a somewhat lackadaisical approach to anything on the menu that isn't a Wagyu burger. As the other beer locations broadened, ABV aimed squarely for the bros. It's disappointing, costly, and proving less and less of a reason to cross 26. As a bottle shop, it's still top-notch. But as a complete experience? There's better out there for the price it's charging. I'll keep coming to Mainbrew because I love it, and I'll still pop into the bottle shop when people come in from out of town and want a broad range of Oregon beers. But I don't see ABV's restaurant and taproom as an essential part of the experience anymore, and the pandemic didn't have much to do with that shift.

This is a hidden gem... no big signage outside. Easy to miss as it is in an industrial area. Great food, great beer, and wonderful ambience. We all had the elk burgers and loved it... was expecting some gamey taste but none of that - just very yummy flavor. Lots of choices on tap - great beer to pair with our meal. Looking forward to going back and trying other stuff other menu and their other beers on tap.

Dahlia C.

Yelp
Good burgers, good drinks, good service... it's those types of places that you wouldn't expect to find in a business park and next to a gun range! But, once you walk in and see it packed, you know that this is a well known spot. There was maybe one time we had to wait for an hour, but it was totally worth the wait. Other times we've made it right before the dinner rush and would always get seated right away. Aside from their awesome burgers, they have great appetizers like the Deviled Eggs and Mexican Street Beef Poutine. They also have this Rosemary Aioli that is really great with the Sweet Potato Waffle fries. I'm not so much a beer drinker but I do love hard cider that they have on tap. The most recent one was a Peachacolada from Helvetia Cider Company, locally made. If you're intrigued to try out any of their drinks in the fridge, you can do so, but keep in mind that their policy is that the server has to open your drinks for you.

My wife recommended ABV and I must say, it did not disappoint! There were so many options and the service was a 10/10. Our server Mikey was incredible and we will definitely be coming back:

After three days camping trip, we were so hungry and decided to come for late lunch/early dinner. Normally have a glass of wine but it was so hot outside (about 70+degrees!) decided to have their hazy beer. I am not a beer person but they have a couple of selections I ca try out. Hungry man went for 50/50 burger (beef + bacon!!) and I had a big salad which came with avocado, cucumber, tomato, slice of fennel. It was good fat (from burger) and fresh veggie, I was satisfied with this post camping meal. They also have walls of beers and other alcohols that you can purchase and take them home. That's nice option to have. If you are curious about what other burger to try, Elk burger is another one. Very low key, you can come in a group or solo to watch a game at the counter. Nice neighborhood place.

I've been here a number of times over the years so this review is in no way indicative of a single visit. It's one of those locations that I want to love because honestly...beer and burgers...Hell to the yes! Regardless of how awesome the concept is, the execution is poor. Let's just start with the food...mediocre at best. Again, great components that don't always come together and when they do...often sit on a counter just too long and get cold waiting for the rest of the parties food to come together. I've had a cold burger and or fries brought to my table on several occasions. I can usually look past this because places are crowded, they get busy, someone calls in sick, etc...but this has also happened on the few occasions when the restaurant is near empty. Furthermore, the pricing has always been $1 or 2 higher than comparable items elsewhere...even a pint will cost you more here...which is odd for a restaurant that is attached to a brewers store...come on...really? I could see charging an extra buck for a pint if you had super cheap burgers...but come on...$18-$20 for a burger...$20 for a small ass pizza...Wow! My visit on Saturday will be my last. I know places are struggling to stay open in the midst of all the chaos...but don't stick it to your customers. You aren't all that great! The place was empty on a Saturday afternoon...should have taken that as a clue that things were worse than what I had been accustomed to expecting. What once was an ok experience is suddenly making a Whopper and a can of Blue Ribbon in the AM/PM parking lot look like a better option... Mediocrity at a Premium...no thank you.

Visiting from the Bay Area, was suggested this place by a coworker. Delicious food, friendly staff! Tried the raviolis, lumpia, and smash burger...all delicious! Even the side of fries were super good! So many beers on tap, just ask the staff for good recs

They charge $8 for a beer with a hidden 3.38% credit card fee. The prices lie the fee are absolutely ridiculous. the only item in the entire bar that even mentions the fee is a tiny postcard sized stand at the bar. if beer costs 8.28 and food costs 12.78 advertise it as such. Dont have a hidden fee. these guys are scumbags. I don't think there is a pub in Portland that charges $8 for a beer and a hidden credit card fee.
