Backwoods Brewing Company

Nice local pub in downtown Portland. Large bright interior with a long bar, and several outdoor tables to sit and people watch. Several local beers on tap, and food is the standard pub food items such as burgers, sandwiches, wraps, and salads. Fast and friendly service. Paid street parking and several paid parking lots nearby.

We usually float between Backwoods and Deschutes Brewery, but Backwoods is pretty amazing. Great selection of beers, and the food options are awesome compared to other breweries. The nachos was huge, and could be a meal itself, and they have other healthy options like the wrap too!

The best brewery in Portland. They are open later than the other breweries downtown and it's a quick walk to the soccer stadium to see the Timbers. The staff is sensational. Dan's the man on the beer side and Emily gives remarkable recommendations for food. A vast selection of beer options and the food is exceptional.

I’ve been here a few times and never disappointed. The staff is great. The beer is good and a nice selection of food. The happy hour wedge salad with chicken was a little pricey at $20 but I was very surprised at how good it was.

Finally, good beer in Portland. Everywhere I’ve been the temps have been way too low on the cook so the beer is super dry and astringent, which I think is unpleasant. Here they’re not afraid to ruin a batch of beer and make real beer. Everything I tried was good, IPAs and a few stouts and a holiday beer, and the first exceptional beer I’ve had in quite some time—The Stumbler. Exceptional.

The flight was not cold, and the burger didn't taste right, but the turkey burnt ends sandwich and the tater tots were excellent especially the Cajun tots.

I threw a birthday party with around 20 people in the private room at this location and it was incredibly easy. Simple flat rate for the night, everyone ordered their own food and drinks and Emily and the team came in frequently to take care of us. Would totally book this place again.

We had a great time here! Loved talking to the bartenders most of all; they were great. Got lots of great recommendations from them as we were just visiting the area. We also really enjoyed the beer, particularly the golden smore stout. Never had anything like it!
