Rose City Book Pub

"This Fremont neighborhood pub is a bibliophile’s haven, landing somewhere between a used bookstore, a community hub, and a casual cafe. Visitors find tables and chairs tucked among the pub’s shelves to read, or pop in for poetry readings or trivia nights. Meals here stay simple, with things like French dips and spaghetti; many regulars rely on the pub’s taps, which lean heavily on Pacific Northwestern beers." - Carrie Uffindell, Eater Staff

"Rose City Book Pub is organizing an auction to stay financially afloat. The auction will take place on March 11 at 7 p.m. and aims to collect over 100 diverse submissions from the community." - Janey Wong

"Also in Northeast Portland, the very model of the Rose City Book Pub — part bookstore or library, part bar or restaurant — lends itself to a subdued atmosphere. And the last time I was there, nothing on the menu exceeded $20." - Brooke Jackson-Glidden

"Portland is a literary city, from bookshops like Powell’s and Mother Foucault’s to publishers like Tin House and Dark Horse Comics. So of course, Portland is a natural home for the Rose City Book Pub, a pub-meets-used bookstore-meets-bar. Meals have a homemade feel, and the drafts feature a nice selection of Northwest beers. Read a book with a beer, sitting among shelves of other carefully curated books, while an open mic or comedy night happens somewhere at the other end of the pub." - Levi Rogers

"Rose City Book Pub, the Northeast Portland bookstore and restaurant, is serving iftar every Tuesday at sunset during Ramadan." - Janey Wong
