"The Hopworks on Powell has long been known as the brewery with a play area and for that, it gets extra kudos. Order a burger, beer, and pretzels with beer cheese, and watch the kids disappear into the play area until the food arrives. The brewery also offers Crayons for those wanting to hang at the table. The location in Vancouver is family-friendly as well." - Rebecca Roland
"HopWorks strikes me as the most overtly kid-friendly option because it offers designated play areas, so parents don’t have to worry about kids being too rambunctious for other diners." - Paolo Bicchieri
"Spacious and utilitarian, the Hopworks pub on Southeast Powell is all about efficiently giving Southeast Portlanders what they want on hot days: cold air and colder beer. Paper beer menus give handy notes on the two-dozen of ales, lagers, porters, sours, and ESBs on tap. The pub food menu won’t offer any surprises, but the salads and wraps are reliably made with fresh ingredients and hit the spot on warm days." - Nathan Williams
"Hopworks may be a regional brewing powerhouse these days — producing 10,000 barrels per year — but to Creston-Kenilworth residents it’s simply a terrific pub within walking distance. The deep beer list features frequently rotating seasonal specials and covers the gamut from the light, quaffable Pacific Sands lager to the bracingly hoppy Giggle Nuggets and creative sours like the barrel-aged prickly pear Cactus Attactus. The spacious dining room has a funky bike-centric eclecticism that stays on the tasteful side of chain-restaurant over-design, and the back patio is smartly situated on the opposite site of noisy Powell Boulevard. The solid food offerings include burgers, pizza, nachos, and other pub staples." - Nathan Williams
"Hopworks has closed its North Portland brewpub after nine years in the neighborhood." - Brooke Jackson-Glidden
