"Once a functioning farm and bustling produce market, Level’s main location first underwent a sizable transformation and is now cranking out 8-bit video game-themed beers in cans and kegs. While hazy IPAs and pale ales like the Pixelate Pale and Game On! IPA are its flagships, Level offers a diverse beer selection, spanning from stouts to saisons. A handful of food trucks outside Level One offer a varying range of cuisines, including Indian dishes and coastally-sourced oysters on the half-shell, including the likes of shawarma and burritos. Its “Level 2” spot in Multnomah Village, as well as the “Level 3” location on Sandy Boulevard make for better options for folks not wishing to commute so far east." - Ron Scott
"The Argay location of this video game-themed brewery in Portland is perhaps the best place to grab a beer while entertaining an antsy kid: Indoors, the brewery is home to several pinball machines and arcade games, where older kids can entertain themselves while waiting for food. Outdoors, the backyard and patio are expansive, meaning kids can run around without tripping nearby patrons or servers. The carts nearby supply oysters for the adults and fries or quesadillas for the tiny crowd." - Rebecca Roland
"This sprawling family-friendly brewery in an industrial patch where Costco is the lone nearby landmark serves everything from popular hazy IPAs to smoky rauchbiers. Food is available from a number of carts outside, including tacos from Flor de Guelaguetza and even oysters on the half-shell from Tidal Boar Foods. There are a few bar-height tables and chairs inside and picnic tables on the covered patio." - Rebecca Roland
"Level Beer’s 148th Avenue location is often a favorite as well, though it can be a tough choice for those who rely on public transportation." - Brooke Jackson-Glidden
"Level Beer in the Argay neighborhood is a kid-friendly brewery with a strong beer selection and food carts. The expansive backyard allows kids to run around freely and includes lawn games." - Brooke Jackson-Glidden
