Laurelthirst Public House

They make amazing cocktails and it's a great place to hang and watch a show. Plus they have a wicked cool sopranos pinball game. Outdoor seating. Awesome employees. Great music. Pure Portland

Great bar, service was so friendly. The woman who served me (owner?) was very cool and the bluegrass band playing that night was awesome. Great vibes, great beer and great music. What more could you want? (They also sell snazzy t-shirts).

Fun and friendly! 😍 Best rock and bluegrass music bar in Portland. Free music at 6PM most nights. The staff and patrons are super nice. Awesome place to hang out! The food is great! The Banh Mi salad is my favorite. 💃🕺🎵🎶 🎻🎸🍻🍹🥗🍔 ☮ 💞

Some fun live music and shows! Food was pretty expensive for the quality tho. Grab something at the food carts before you head over

If you love open mic nights like me... then you have to check out Sundays at laurelthirst! Lots of locals to mingle with in a cozy chill atmosphere with great food and drink. No Sunday night is complete without it!

Always a great time to be had at Laurelthirst. Super random crowd for live music. Quintessential old school Portland vibes. If you want to Make Portland Great Again, this is a great model for that.

Friendly and laid back. Especially nice when live music is happening. Really good food as bars go. My wife's taco salad came with tortilla chips instead of the dreaded fried bowl. The sauce on my chicken parmigiana sandwich was a delight.

This is hands down, the best live music bar in the city. 5 stars all around. Everyday 6 - 8 pm live music free . The musicians are fantastic,

Great place, friendly staff and nice patrons...in fact, I dropped my wallet in there on a crowded night....10 min I went back in to thinking it's gone...someone turned it in...it had my $150 still in there.

I love this place from what I've experienced! Live music every night! Great staff! Good vibes from most people, dancing people the best! Two spaces, main bar/dance floor - then a back/side area with a pool table. Tables out front, too. I've eaten food once so far. The Banh Mi was good, the pulled pork makes it less traditional, or something about it - but it's tasty! I want to try the vegan patty. The bread length or sandwich size was smaller than I expected (that's what she said, lol) I was still satisfied overall ;) I'll be back.

Lewi Longmire is my hero. Listen to "lucky guy" from the palace and it puts everything into perspective. Jerry Joseph is an awesome musician that does residencies here and Doug Martsch made me want to stay in Portland forever after his small acoustic show there. The freak mountain ramblers just keep bringing people together and Charlie Brown is a show upper! Laurelthirst is awesome! They use real glass and their drinks are a great price. Those other brothers that own a bunch of cool spots around Portland use so much plastic and their food is gross food but Laurelthirst is a Portland gem. Good music, food, good values and not an environmental disaster. I wish I was a brick in the wall there so I could see all the shows!

A Portland institution with no cover for the early show. Lots of people, eating, vegan or vegetarian food, but with organic burgers available as well. Lots of people who are dressed as though they could immediately go on a hike or would feel comfortable with the Oregon country fair. People dancing by the stage. Lots of local talent and people who know each other. An intimate local bar that won't cost you an arm and a leg.

Fun little place. Went to a Freaks show and was the first time there. I clearly misread the crowd and was largely ignored. Food was good. Crowd was friendly enough. Difficult to be there if you are disabled. Otherwise fine

Laurelthirst seems to have improved quite a bit of late. On my most recent visit: *Service was friendlier and more attentive *The food tasted a lot better *Kombucha is now available On a different subject, nor related to my review and strictly as an FYI, Laurelthirst very strictly enforces COVID-19 protocol. Proof of immunization or a negative test within the past 48 hours is required for admission, and there is copious signage throughout advising that masks are required to be worn when not active eating or drinking, when ordering at the bar, or when dancing or mingling in front of the stage.

Good vibes, great music, Banh Mi very good, and great service! I enjoyed my afternoon with some ciders and enjoyed listening to the music with my Dad.!

Great service, friendly patrons and delicious food---banh mi salad was excellent. Loved the local vibe, the fun staff and the great variety of entrees!

I came here for the first time last night to see a friend's band play and had a wonderful time! The band played from 6 pm to 8 pm on Friday. It seems like this is a weekly event. We got there ten minutes to 6, and there were almost no places to sit. We sat at the bar and had a great view of the stage. They verify your vaccine status at the door, which I thought was nice. Full bar and great selection of beers, ciders, and hard seltzer on tap. My husband and I both got food. I ordered a ruben sandwich with a vegan house made patty instead of meat. The sandwich was pretty good, but the vegan patty was dry. It was saved by the 1,000 island dressing and saurkraut. Overall, I really liked this place and will go back for sure.

Just popping in to say the more I visit here the more I love it. Food is wonderful, beer/cider selection is varied and they gotz something for every palate. Servers are awesome.... and the music is consistently wonderful. Plus they really take care of the smokers in the crowd.... nice tables with umbrellas far away from the non-smokers so that everyone is happy.

Great spot to see music. Nice atmosphere and friendly folks! Outdoor seating. I like their beer selection as well.

One of the best places for live music, often free. Some incredibly great bands perform with regularity. Usually a free early show and often a cover charge for later show. Great local vibe. The pool table in the extra room is pretty bad. But very friendly people happy to play.

Maybe they should adjust their website. It says they stay open till midnight on Sunday, but just now I went in and they said they close at 11:00. Just a heads up.

Hmmm. The first unusual thing you notice walking in to this place is the privilege attitude you get from the waitstaff. I guess they're celebrities or ?? The bar woman wouldn't stop hitting on the other woman at the bar (who was there with her boyfriend) long enough to take an order. She made us feel like we just broke into her home and took a dump on her kitchen floor. Well . . . . . You have been open for 2 hours on Saturday afternoon. Your company expects you to sell their inventory so they can give you a paycheck . . . We get that you don't like working days . . . So our party decides to open a tab and have two rounds each, which took about all afternoon because the bar woman insisted on HIDING in the kitchen instead of actually TENDING the bar. We finally corralled the entitled celebrity for our long overdue check and she says . . Get this. " I went ahead and added the gratuity - party of 3 or more is AUTOMATIC. OMG. Are you mental? She watched me call the card issuer, cancel the card transaction and we put exact cash on the bar for the beer. I used to be a regular here in the late 80's and 90's - yes, it's gone a little further downhill since those misty days of yore. DUMP

Fell into this place yesterday afternoon for Happy Hour and I think we found our people. The music was great and the drinks were tasty. We will be back!

Live music? Great beer? Good vibe? Check check check. Stumbled into Laurelthirst after a big dinner. The beers on tap were solid. They have a vast selection of brews. Only had time to guzzle down two, but while doing so I was serenaded by the band performing. They jammed out, and were pretty good. If you find yourself in the neighborhood a looking for a spot to hang for a bit, this is your place.

This place is great for listening to music and enjoying a night out. Bartenders are great! I will definitely be back to play some Kiss pinball in the near future

I've been going to the laurelthirst for over 25 years. Last year I was kicked out for fighting during a Little Sue concert. Some clown was right up front and wouldn't shut up so I turned around and told him to be quiet and grabbed me and well... it was very embarrassing. I've been back and accepted with open arms. Great place.

I've been coming to Laurelthirst for years. I brought my 98 year old grandfather to dance for almost a decade there. I love the family/older vibe. I love that the people are welcoming. I had some friends visiting from Idaho last night. I wanted to take them somewhere warm and friendly like Idaho bars. My friend asked for a straw and the waitress (brown hair middle aged) said, "we don't have straws we like turtles" then walked away. I work with Sea Turtles Forever. I was just stunned. There are paper straws. Later, she said last call, my friend tried to order a drink and same bartender said, "we are done serving". It was 9:48. She just told us it was last call. Anyhow, I was embarrassed and ashamed about how rude she was. If you hate bartending, get a different job. My friend was so nice, she said, she's being a bitch and there must be a reason why? Maybe she had a really bad day... Maybe. However, we all have bad days. You're in customer service. Too bad my husband is nice and left her a fat tip. SUPER RUDE WAIT STAFF!!!!!!

I don't know how to describe this place but it felt like home. I decided to go here because they offered live music and when I went I heard Big Foot Mojo, had local Portland beer, ate a steak and brie sandwhich (with chips - as in potato chips...not fries. I was duped haha) and made new friends. This bar is perfect and if I lived around the area I would be here every week. The bar is divided into to areas, one with the main bar, stage, booths and seats, the other side has games and there is even outdoor seating. There is a wide selection of local brews and there is music pretty much every night (some require cover charge) but overall Laurelthirst impressed and was inviting. Will be coming back here! P.s - above the bar you will find lots of antiques and decorations...many of them are from regulars. One person I met put her grandmothers rocking chair up there!

The feeling, vibe, music - it's just a magical place. A lasting reminder of the funky hippie cool Portland. Happy hours shows are no cover, and amazing way to catch longtime Hall of Fame quality artists - Lewi Longmire, Little Sue, James Lowe, Michael Hurley, etc. etc. Food is great too, and wonderful bartenders. This should be right up there with Powell's Books as essential Portland experience.

Whoa! I came to Laurelthirst to play a show in December 2019 and it was a thrill from start to finish! The staff is hard core and hot and fun to talk to, the bands were welcoming and helped me make a keyboard stand out of a table, and the crowd was the best! They were even super helpful when I left my debit card behind like a tourist ... can't wait to go back!

Decades of great music. Thanks Lewi and friends for keeping the Thirst in the east side family! Visitors: Parking is very limited, so PLEASE use the Bus! Often! #19 Glisan, Sandy 12 and Burnside 20 are near. Keep voices low when outdoirs and close cars doors gently please. Welcoming neighbors are a blessing.

Stopped in pre-Greek festival for a drink at 11am. Band was playing bluegrass and just a chill atmosphere. Easy place to get a drink and relax that early in the morning. Bartender serving us, Christy was super nice and took some time to chat with us. They have pool and pinball if you just want to hang out. We returned after the Greek festival to hang and enjoy more libations. Great space for a larger group as well.

Ya gotta come here on Monday evenings at 9 to hear " kung pow chickens". Hope I spelt that right. Fantastic gypsy-jazz and dancing if you like. Been going here for years now. My friend Johnny told me about this place. Thank you

Mama Julie makes the best quesadillas in Portland! This lady is not Mexican, but hot dam, she nails it! My favorite bartender is Asia because she always has a smile and remembers my drink of choice. She gets it, she is awesome, and makes Laurelthirst special. Lewi Longmire is an excellent musician that happens to own this venue. Every time he performs, the whole venue explodes. God Bless Portlandia.

If I could give this place a million stars I would. My grandpa Chet has been hanging out at this place through multiple owners up until his death last month. The owners and employees truly care about their customers and always looked after my gramps. They even went as far as to go to his house and check on him if they hadn't seen him in a few days. Awesome! I also have been here every time I was in town to visit. The decor is old school public house form. The food was tasty. I always had french toast when I was here and it always was perfect. I love their cream of mushroom soup. And it goes without saying (but I'm still gonna say it) that I love the beer!!!! I also found it funny that they looked the other way when my grandma used to try and stuff everything on the table into her purse to take home. Since I will no longer be making visits to Portland I will definitely miss stopping in here to see my family. Although I didn't know the people here very well, anyone who treated my grandpa so wonderfully will always be like family to me.

So I like this place - the people watching is awesome and the music is great, but their practices are shifty. Do not open a tab. Bring cash or cash out with every drink. Both my friend and I were double charged for our drinks. This isn't the first time this has happened - the first time I thought it was a mistake - but it seems like a pattern. I'll probably still come here (the music is awesome) but won't trust them with my credit card.

This place has been here for ever, over 20 years in its current incarnation, and decades before that as a neighborhood pub. It's Portland's old timey music central. How many notes have bounced off those walls? For happy hour, the special is free music, 6-8PM. Tuesday is bluegrass night with Jackstraw. Laura Veirs has played a month of Wednesdays with the musicians in her recording band, like Chris Funk. They have been mixing it up, with up and coming players like Grey Anne who I first saw about 2 years ago at a house concert. I'm not much a classic rock or country rock fan, but they have that too. Later in the evening, 9, there is sometimes a cover. Once a month this crazy musician Baby Gramps from Seattle plays. Request his palindrome song! The food is well executed bar food, this isn't a gastropub. They always have soup. A nice large selection of microbrews - 18 taps. The building will surely fall down in an earthquake and nothing fancy about the bathrooms. The smoking ban and adding a full bar have made the place even better. For some reason they recently added a little laser light show to the stage. (?) The bar is cramped, so don't expect fast service busy times. The place is a summer hot spot with outdoor seating and conversation. Inside it's air conditioned. Order food at the bar and it's delivered to the table Drinks ordered and picked up at the bar. The Tuesday crowd is varied and friendly. From people in their '80's to 21's, a gentleman with a seeing eye dog to outdoor surfer, kayaker and snow folks, musicians and teachers, programmers and carpenters, ad agency execs dancing with their sweetie. More fleece than fur, more outdoor shoes than heels. Definitely a dress down spot. Solid and cool staff. Music insiders know their epic tickets-in-advance New Year's Eve, lately with Laura Veirs backed by Decemberists. What a pleasure to see beautiful and friendly people in Chucks and rain parkas dancing up a storm while other venues sprout pretentiousness. Best of all, it's authentic, which is hard in trendy Portland.

I really did enjoy myself here, but I do have some serious bitches and I'm really not sure why I'm still giving this place 4 stars. First, I went there with a guy that is the same age as I am - 34. The hobag at the door carded him, and not me. Okay, he's got a slight mohawk going on - but I don't really look old enough such that if I were WITH him that I shouldn't also be carded. Come people - you're in the service industry, and everyone knows that if you're to card one, you card all. And if you don't know that - then get another f'n job. Preferably one that does not involve people. Second, I sat down at the bar and 20 minutes later, some lady comes up to me and says, "you're in my seat", like I just ran over her dog. Now, okay... but I'm pretty sure that you didn't need to talk to me like that. And wouldn't you know, it looked like she was friends with the lady checking the IDs. Well, that said it all... and we moved just a touch down the bar, and everything from there on out was great. The live music was enjoyable but I can safely say that the mandolin is not my favorite instrument - live and learn. I really liked the volume on the music, and the style of music overall. I also felt like there was a good vibe around the place, and the beer selections included a nice variety that was decently priced. I did not participate in the food... but I will be returning when the opportunity presents itself. The #1 thing that I enjoyed (besides the fantastic company) was the clean breathing... oh, I like it when I can do that.

Really small, really loud live music, and $8 at the door. Sorry the band wasn't worth it. We came in after 9 and wanted to order food but with no place to sit, and the bartender ignoring us standing right at the counter, we left. Minus $16, oh well, better places to hang.

Great inexpensive place for live music and microbrews! The atmosphere is of small neighborhood pub, not a dive bar. The live music was bluegrass type stuff, and the talent was impressive (and no cover charge, so tip the band). There was also an old hippie doing some kind of psychedelic dancing, which was entertaining in itself. The menu was small, but I got a delicious Reuben and tomatoe cheese soup for only $9. The beers on tap are awesome, and I got the Rasputin Stout ($4.50) which was an impressive 9%ABV and great tasting. I would definitely come back and suggest you visit this place. It's reasonably priced, clean, and friendly. Just make sure to get there before 6 to get a good seat.

My boyfriend and I were happy to stumble across this place on a Friday night because the hours said open until 2am. It was only 12 something but the elderly bartender was rude, stalled to take our order, looked and sounded wasted and didn't want to make a simple drink I wanted - even made fun of it and told me he "probably made one 13 years ago at a different bar who actually gave a f*ck about drinks like that." It was a simple white russian with coke, come on. We got our drinks and went into the next room to play pool (which didn't even have all the balls), when suddenly we see all the other patrons leaving. The bartender comes in telling us we have 15 minutes and that they want to close early. Wow, thanks. It's safe to say we won't be returning.

Super great place, legit Portland deal, super good local music, nice community vibes. Everyone working here is awesome, the whole place and everything about it is the opposite of pretentious. Menu is kid friendly and nice mellow location for hanging outside, music is always good. Always try to pop in here and grateful for the vibes.

So great!! Fun atmosphere. I wish I could give 3.5 stars. Super super casual, and welcoming neighborhood watering hole. Absolutely great staff, great MUSIC, good prices! Well for starters, it's a bar, and a great bar. They have entertainment, live, music. Their music is fun! Different types all around but check their schedule if you're looking for something in particular. They do charge for cover on some nights, so expect it to get kind of busy. The decor is super cool, lot's of interesting things to look at and keep yourself occupied. In the front, that is a giant tree on the bar?? I am not sure why, but it's cool! For those not feeling up for a beer, cider, or drink? They have tea, how sweet! They have food as well, I have not been able to try it just yet, but I will be back to give it a shot!

Great location, super friendly vibe and staff. They host awesome local acts and even though the space is tiny, there is still room to dance! They have good food and it's affordable. I recommend their bean burger! Soo good! And they have wedge salads- a classic!

I'll keep this quick: there's a little WINE RACK behind the bar. Surprising, when most bars like this serve their wine by "color", there's actually some choice here...insert shock and awe. Oh AND it doesn't suck. I find some great bands to hear, friendly efficient bartenders, very reasonable pricing (seriously), and a minimal cover for music in the evenings. I haven't eaten here - only drank (whoopsie); however I will update with a food review whence I return...which I will do soon

I honestly don't know why I don't come here more often. It is just one of those places that I always talk about going to, but for some reason don't. That changed the other day as I came here for the first time in years. Laurelthirst was one of the first places I ever came to in Portland. That was well before I was a Yelper. After going to the dog park with my friend and his dog on Saturday we decided to get some lunch. Having a dog with us narrowed our choices of where to eat. The first place we tried (which shall remain nameless) didn't allow dogs. I suggested Laurelthirst as I knew they had tables out front. Once there we secured a table outside. The place was pretty empty in the early afternoon part of Saturday, so it wasn't too difficult to secure a table. The menu mostly consists of sandwiches and salads which was fine by us. Very affordable as well. I had the Turkey Thirst sandwich which had grilled turkey, onions, mushrooms and swiss with mayo, dijon and tomato on 6" roll. Obviously I got it without mayo. I probably don't need to tell my readers this anymore. The sandwich comes with a choice of chips, homemade potato salad, cup of soup or house salad on the side. I had the house salad with vinaigrette dressing. Wasn't sure what to expect of this sandwich, but it was quite tasty. I don't think the turkey was deli turkey. It was thicker. Not saying they have a whole turkey in the back they are cutting up for sandwiches, but it certainly tasted better than deli turkey. Love onions and mushrooms with this sandwich. Nice combo. Good service and a good setting make the Laurelthirst a must come back to. Hopefully it won't be years before I take my own advice.

This place is a superb venue for live music. Itcan be a bit crowded and there's dancing folks in your way when you have to hit the head. But if you're seeing a good, fun danceable band like Kris DeLane and the Hurt, then you deserve it and you're happy the folks are dancing! Don't know what took me so long to check this place out. But I'm glad I did. Cover charge was $8 - not too bad. Beers were reasonable. Smoking tables outside and around the corner. Nice staff! I will surely be back to try the food and check out some more live music!

My friend and I came to Laurelthirst sort of on a whim. We were looking for some live music in the area, and this place had it. It was a local gig, nothing really to write home about, but it provided some good entertainment and the locals seemed to love it. This isn't a fancy place by any means. A good place to come for a drink and hang out. We shared some nachos, which were good, and just hung out. If you want a drink, going up to the bar is best. We didn't have table service which was odd. But it was a nice place to come for some entertainment.

Baby boomer parents in town? Don't know where to take them? Are they pinning for their glory days of dodging the draft and sticking it to their parents? They'll love this place! You'll love the beer selection and prices

I would love to be able to write an actual review for this place...however, we went at 4:45pm to grab a drink with our daughter (asleep in her car seat) and were turned away. I guess no kids after 3pm?? What happens after 3pm?

Everything a neighborhood bar should be! Live music, good drinks, decent food and good people. I sipped down an Atlas blackberry cider while chilaxing to the sounds of Seattle's Jim Paige. The pub was a mix of old and young folk. Some were moved enough to dance to the music. I would've joined in but I ordered dinner. I opted for the swiss and mushroom burger. Fortunately, it did not drip all over my plate like swiss mushroom burgers elsewhere are notorious for. A plus for healthy bites, like the hummus plate, on the menu. The food itself may not be reason enough to come but it sure was tasty and satisfying. I would definitely be here 3 to 4 times a week if I lived closer.

We've been here 3 times in less than 24 hours. We may be in love. Come for the atmosphere. Come for the drinks. Come for the food. Come for the live music. It's all great and you'll make new friends to boot.

The only thing keeping this place from a five star was the (lack of) service. They have live music, great drinks, good food, and a wonderful warm crowd! It was a fun night for all. Please get out here and support this place. They are trying to purchase their building so they don't have to close their doors.

Visited LPH right after my steam room session at Common Ground Everett House a couple of blocks away - in need of hydration. Country Boy IPA did the trick. Recommended by the friendly, neighborhood bartender from amongst the 3 IPAs on tap, I'm glad I tried it. Brewed by Everybody's Brewing in White Salmon WA (a skip across the Mighty Columbia from Hood River), I'll be looking for this offering. I also had a BLT which, despite those pale things that pass for winter tomatoes, was very tasty. The pickle spear (these things are big for me) was excellent. Also some killer potato salad. When I first contemplated this review I was thinking 4 stars. I mean, I wasn't blown away. But when I put it into perspective - what do I want from a kitschy neighborhood pub? - I couldn't think of any reason to dock a star.

five stars for two main and recent reasons...... I have no idea why it's not full for sunday brunch as there are comfy booths, we sat outside today, and the food aint bad. food alone would not warrant 5 stars though ability to eat here when other places have 20 people waiting outside (cricket cafe people?? really?), is quality. the homemade muffins are amazing, i say way better than those pine state ones, the grits are good with aardvark and the scrambles (avoid the veggie sausage) are tasty. i am soooo happy to make this my sunday brunch spot ahead of holmans if first choice has a line or when i just want to brunch it without a crowd today's and past sunday brunches combined with last thursday night here give this place a 5 star without any hesitation... Last thursday went for a friend's birthday- her bf happens to play in the band that plays every thursday. this was the same thursday that i will officially call the nicest weathered day of 2010 so far. i shit you not, at 6pm when the bf's band started playing it began: the most eclectic dance party i have ever seen. i was so not expecting to see that crowd and the dancing that happened (and that apparently happens every thursday and possibly sundays)... most people were between 35 and 65, and motherfucker were these people rocking out! yes, there was tye dye, yes there were sandals and socks, but there were hotties and youngies, some who had come straight from work, some you would run from and some you can't wait to talk to- the most refreshingly least hipster scene i have seen in this city. ever. i LOVED it. i would so take anyone here on a thursday who was visiting portland or even any portlander who has not experienced a thursday night here and by 730pm at least 40 people were dancing, while it was still sunny and 75 outside!!! would definitely rate as somewhere i would go alone (though you won't have to as i will be there most thursdays with friends), probably the best people watching, strangest yet most endearing and intriguing crowd, the bartenders are nice and the beer is cheap. me gusta

Used to catch my bus from this place.. used to miss it a lot too. Oh there it goes. Well I guess I'll have me another drink then. Forward many years later.. this place looks pretty much like it used to, especially on the inside.. and kind of has that old tavern smell.. but that's ok some days. I was bold and asked the guy behind the counter to make us a couple of martinis. He looked at me like I was telling him to bake me a cake. Yet he was so cool about it at the same time, and managed to pull it off. I could hear him back there trying to find the shaker, and get the lemon peel cut just right.. He even found his martini glasses. And they were not too shabby either.

My venture to the Laurelthirst with a coworker was a most enjoyable experience; plenty of amazing microbrews on tap (none for me, though, as DD) and the best cream of mushroom soup I have ever had, bar none. What really sets the Laurelthirst apart, though, it not so much its usual assortment of bar-ish goodies. (Bar-ish? It's a word, I promise) No, what sets this quaint pub apart from so many others is its decor, its atmosphere; dim yet pleasant, retro yet unpretentious, stark yet warm, the Laurelthirst is a wonderful, relaxing place to chill with friends and yet still feel justified in spending your money. I immediately felt at home, and barely noticed the standard service that accompanied my meal. Simply go and unwind, don't look for anything spectacular, and the natural charm of this pub will grow on you. I'm not sure how they did it, but the owners have cobbled together the perfect storm of mellow atmosphere and comfort food. Definitely recommended.

Laurelthirst Public House offers a cozy and delicious option for breakfast on the weekend! Not being a big drinker, I'm often not inclined to go to places that look like bars. Laurelthirst, however, got good reviews on Yelp for breakfast/brunch, and I went with friends for Sunday breakfast. I'm so glad I did! There are so many vegetarian and vegan selections, in addition to turkey chili (for their regular breakfast burrito) or chicken apple sausage for their egg dishes. I absolutely loved my scrambled egg, cheddar cheese, and veggie sausage on a biscuit sandwich! It had a sweet and spicy taste in the biscuit that added additional delicious flavor and was a steal at $4.00! The breakfast burrito ($7.50) with turkey chili was huge and my partner loved it, and our friend, Tracy had the vegan burrito and loved that as well! They also offer scrambles and french toast; though, they say they're "an anti-pancake establishment," and they offer a few different cool breakfast drinkies like A very well embellished Bloody Mary (with celery and olives). Yum. The food is tasty, the service is attentive, the coffee is good, and the prices are very reasonable, all in a cozy atmosphere which is not overly-crowded (a rarity for Portland). I highly recommend Laurelthirst Public House for brunch on the weekends!
