StormBreaker Brewing

Stormbreaker Brewing on Mississippi is such a fun spot. The beer is always solid with plenty of options, and the atmosphere has a great laid-back vibe. Perfect place to grab a drink with friends or just hang out. Definitely recommend if you’re in the area!

We didn't have a lot of time to spend when we visited, but as first time visitors, we had a positive experience. One thing for sure, though, is that their flight tray design is top tier! 👌

Perfect Portland brewery experience. rustic but creative food, plenty of beer types, friendly servers. Large outdoor seating...if you can find parking, its a great place to check out.

First time here trying out the local brewery. I ordered the Maui POG hard seltzer, which is only served in a can. It tastes like POG. Plus it is gluten free, 100 cals and less than a gram of sugar per can. The food is amazing too. I ordered the #4 burger. Plus the live band playing adds an extra ambiance.

Definitely was a pretty solid place to get a beer and a bite on Mississippi. The beer is good very good $7-$9, thankfully there is a take away fridge to enjoy the beer at home or wherever you want.. depending on your understanding of the laws around drinking in public.. The staff turnover rate has been pretty high over the last few years I’ve been visiting - is it because of money management, unforeseen expenses or workplace environment? I’m not sure.. but it’s nice when you can see a familiar face. The food was substantially better a few years back not sure if the kitchen crew was reset at some point. That said, the food is not made on site and made in a food truck that is parked behind the brewery then walked through the back of house to the taproom. Take away: good beer, mid food, and the environment is your standard brewery vibe.

If you are looking to host a private event in Portland, look no further than StormBreaker! We were looking for months for a spot to host a Friday night welcome event for our wedding and so many places we spoke with were either was flaky, expensive or couldn't accommodate 100 people, particularly in the case of rain. I found StormBreaker about a month before the event and they turned out to be perfect! They rented us their private room and reserved a portion of their enclosed/heated patio for us as well. We had a dedicated server for the party and ultimately didn't have to pay them anything for the space beyond the food and drink we ordered. They were super communicative and easy to work with in the lead-up to the party as well. I could not be happier about how the night went!

Service was excellent, the Mac and cheese was really good however my only complaint was that the portion was small. The burger and also the chicken sandwich with fries looked huge so if I came back I would try one of those. There is indoor seating as well as outdoor seating with fire table area. Large selection of craft beers and they also have cocktails.

I've walked past this place numerous times since I've been in the neighborhood and it's always filled with a bunch of tourists in groups of 10 or more. It's business like this that have turned this neighborhood into a tourist trap. I decided to try one of their beers and I now have a $50 authorization on my card for coming in to get a single beer and settled the bill there and then and no tab. This is absolute BS! I'm never coming in here again. Credit card companies are offering businesses incentives to do this nonsense where they authorize a bunch of money on People's cards. There was zero warning from the bartender that this was going to happen for a single beer. It is absolutely absurd that you're doing this and using a point of sales system that thinks it can authorize this kind of money. Your business endeavors are yours alone and to not even warn people that you're participating in this nonsense is deceptive trade practice and absolutely ridiculous! There are people living paycheck to paycheck and this is dishonest, despicable, and detrimental to people expecting to pay the price tag--not tie up their hard earned money with an undisclosed holding! There is ZERO rationale for this crap. NONE!! Following day edit after seeing reply: Rob, Your response does not address what actually happened. I was standing at the bar, ordered one beer, explicitly told the bartender I did not want to open a tab, and closed the transaction immediately. I signed a receipt and tipped. This was a single, closed, pay-as-you-go bar purchase — not table service, not order-and-pay, not a tab, and not food. Despite that, a $50 pre-authorization was placed on my card with zero warning or disclosure. Everything you wrote about walkouts, tabs, QR ordering, and food service is irrelevant to this transaction. A tab-protection policy does not apply to a closed, one-item bar purchase. If your POS system is configured to run closed bar sales as tabs, that is a business decision — and customers must be clearly informed before their card is run. If I had ordered multiple beers and paid individually — something many customers do specifically to avoid tabs — I could have had hundreds of dollars tied up in authorizations. That alone shows the policy is being misapplied. The issue is not whether pre-authorizations exist in general. The issue is: • No tab was opened • No disclosure was given • A large hold was applied anyway That is not standard practice, and it is not reasonable to expect customers to “inquire” about whether a single beer purchase will trigger a $50 hold. Disclosure and consent are the responsibility of the business. Your personal history, staffing levels, and profit margins have nothing to do with a real-time transaction being processed incorrectly. This problem was created by policy and configuration choices, not customer behavior. I will be disputing the authorization with my bank and updating my review accordingly. I stand by my original point: this is a tab-protection policy being applied to a non-tab transaction, without warning. Get real. I'm sure that BOLI and the customer protection agency are interested in this kind of situation as well.

Preface: we came for beer. A ton of N/A options for a brewery. Great atmosphere on the patio under the cover with heating options and mature trees. You can order through a QR code on the patio for expedited drinks, and although we didn't eat, the food menu looked great. Different people brought our drinks each round who were friendly.

Lots of outdoor space. Big selection of beers. Easy ordering. Food was delicious. Very friendly chill vibe. Dog friendly outside seating available.

Went again this last week / this has become my favorite out of taste but convenience sake as well. Flying back to Hawaii tonight but next week I'm bringing my new Girlfriend back to Portland for the week and let's see how she posts her review.

Couple TV's with sports on, good beer, friendly bartenders, food was fine. Solid brewery.

The bar tender here was extremely kind and attentive! The drinks and service were amazing. A fun inside space with a variety of seating options. The hops are a big smell in the bar area making it clear that we were a brewery!

I recently visited this brewery and was immediately drawn in by its witty name on the wall, "Fragile," which pays homage to the iconic leg lamp and boasts the clever tagline "it must be... Italian Pilsner." As a fan of hazy beers, I was delighted to find a wide selection available. I tried thier Buffalo Smile hazy double IPA, which was hands down the best beer I've ever tasted. The chicken wings are just smoked to perfect! The bartender provided excellent service, ensuring that I had a great experience throughout my visit. The bar area was bustling with friendly locals who were hospitable and eager to chat, creating a welcoming atmosphere. Overall, a fantastic brewery with great drinks, friendly staff, and a lively ambiance--I'll definitely be back!

When it rains in the PDX, SB is the befitting brewery to chill even when it's chilly. Great for a group when walking Mississippi. Expansive outdoor tent to shelter you from the storm, heaters & fire pits to warm up with. Dark & weathered wood interior to predicting the storm theme. Baos & burgers on the menu. Service is a drip.

Good drinks and decent bar food menu. The inside is small, but the outdoor seating is plentiful with lots of fire pits and overhead heaters. Great spot for all weather! Street parking in a crowded North Portland area.

Pineapple mango cider because I'm not really a beer person, but I will have ciders. They have food, but I just came for drinks. I enjoyed my short visit here.

Great outdoor seating, nice beer selection, attentive staff, and a dog friendly patio. I've always felt comfortable here and enjoyed the vibes

This would have been a solid 4 star if I could base it just on the beer. The beer was pretty good and they had a decent selection. But the service was horrible. Once we finally got to place a drink order, the person never came back.. We had to hunt him down to even pay the check. There are a lot of beer places on this road... I recommend giving them a try unless you don't mind VERY slow and poor service.

The standout dish that absolutely stole the show during my visit was the Brussels sprouts - they were simply divine. These Brussels sprouts were roasted to perfection, achieving the ideal balance of tenderness and crispness. The addition of a flavorful vinaigrette and garlic elevated the dish to new heights, making it an explosion of flavors in every bite. The presentation was beautiful, and the aroma alone was enough to make my mouth water. The rest of the menu was equally great, featuring a good range of American food dishes, craft beers, and cocktails The staff were friendly, which added to the overall enjoyable experience. Overall, I highly recommend Stormbreaker for anyone who is looking for a cool spot to hang out at on Mississippi. The Brussels sprouts alone are worth the trip. When we first walked in the outdoor seating had mist which was perfect on a hot summer day! it was also a super inviting atmosphere.

The chicken sandwich was horrible. Worst ever dark meat and fatty and very very small. The bun should've been a mini bun to cover this lousy chicken. The service was OK never got ranch with my fries until I was done ! The beer was very good ! Eat somewhere else, They need to work on their chicken sandwich!!! Seating was nice. Selection of beer was very good!

Chill vibes, good beer/drinks, an easy place to take your dog or kid. They might just have the best burger in town.

This place has indoor and outdoor seating. The outdoor is divided into areas with a big TV in one area that is almost sealed off like indoors. Closer to the sidewalk is more open and cooler unless you are right under a heater. Another area looks cozy. You can order from your phone, I went inside because I forgot the routine here I had a good stout. The grill cheese was about the worst I've ever had, but the fries were good and it was only $7. I have been here a few times, mainly when ecliptic brewing outside was closed. This might become one of outdoor places, now that ecliptic is permanently closed.

Awful foods...since we visited on July 4th and the waitress said the service would be slow due to short staffing, I expected not much. But the foods we ordered - chicken wings, bbq buns, and chicken poppers and lemonade- were so tasteless, dry, and overcooked, which should not be impacted by short staffing. No napkins and silverware were given, so I had to go and pick them up from a cart nearby. My wife and I regretted not walking a bit more and eating at Eclipse brewing around the corner of the next block. I may go this place again only if I drink beers and miss a spacious outdoor seating. But it is very unlikely as this street has many alternatives.

I've been coming here for a while now. It's got a great location on Mississippi and offers some phenomenal covered outdoor seating with firepits to enjoy a beer all year round. Their beer is solid and they have a good selection in addition to offering a full bar. Their food has always been very good offering - I'd say - high-quality pub food. For those that aren't beer fan, they also offer a full bar. Service has always been very good and friendly there, too!

Now this was the kind of brewery I was looking for on my most recent visit to Portland. There are so many quality beers in this town it's hard to narrow it down on a short visit, so I rolled the dice on this one and hit big. Every beer in my flight was a winner, which is rare for me and especially impressive considering I tasted the rainbow and didn't just stick with my usual dark, darker, darkest picks. Their Cathreedral Park that just released is sure to be a hit - I really enjoyed it and wanted more. Much, much more. The location is on a great stretch of Mississippi with a lot of interesting nearby businesses. It's also huge, featured some live music, and was majorly dog friendly. The vibe here was really relaxed and inviting, like a backyard bbq at your friend's house. If only this place had quality vegan options beyond a boring hummus plate *sigh* I could have really gotten down with more of their brew and settled in. As it were, my friend and I bounced to find a real meal, but I definitely plan on returning. #2VS

Excellent brewery with very good food and and even better beers! The fresh hop IPA was one of the best IPAs I've ever tasted. Spacious outdoor seating area.

Large patio, good beer selection and a range of food selections. We ordered the Italian grinder and the jalapeño bites. The jalapeño bites are VERY SPICY be careful. Wish they had a sauce to balance the flavor.

I'm allergic to dogs, but any place I can drink good beer, and enjoy other peoples doggos out on the patio is a good time. I've only been twice, and both times I've been outside, so I cannot comment on the interior, but the outside is nice for what it is. Covered from the rain, tons of heaters, and a couple fire pits make the picnic tables comfortable. Went at lunch on a Sunday, and had great service and a lovely time.

Cool place. Nice big outdoor area to hangout. Lot of delay in getting orders out. OG Burger was smaller than we thought and seen in pics. It was good though. Fries were amazing as well. Wings did disappoint especially the one with barbecue sauce and to add on very bony pieces.

David and I were walking Mississippi last Friday, and stopped here for Lunch. I've been here before, albeit under at least 1 previous name. The inside and outside are pretty much as I remember it, except with some significant COVID-related outdoor seating changes. Inside seating is allowed, but restaurant staff were good at pushing the outdoor option. I ordered a Pesto Chicken Sandwich, while David chose the Fish and Chips. Even though my dish also came with fries, I ended up transferring about half of my portion over to my much hungrier Son. I was also pleased with the non-breaded option for my chicken and marveled how much of that were on his fish. But, we both enjoyed our meal and our leisurely conversation. My pint of Mississippi Red was also very good. Under "you never know who you'll run into", a guy stuck his head in the tent, noted my Iowa Hawkeyes hat and asked me about the upcoming game with Michigan. I correctly pointed out that Iowa was in a relatively weak Big 10 division and that the Wolverines would probably win. He also asked me where in Iowa I was from and I actually knew a couple names he recited. And all this was without either of us introducing each other.

The original gangster is back!!! I think it's slightly different than it used to be, but still a pretty solid burger. It's worth a visit to their large covered patio.

Been here a few times and the pairings are my favorite. If you see they also have a good menu. Their food is good. Are you doing a few? They have outdoor seating, they offer heaters, gas fireplaces., my favorite beer in pdx, they brew some really awesome beer. You have to try it if you don't know you better ask somebody.! Also very dog friendly with covered outdoor seating

Was surprised to find thin cut fries with an amazing ranch ! Their beer collection was cozy and the ambience was very calming. Their food and service is well worth it ! Good for vegan option as well

Just had a pretty horrible experience there. I went there last night after a round of golf with a friend and the place was overrun with minors. It was after 8:00 pm and the bartenders repeatedly told the parents of the baseball team that came in, per OLCC regulations, minors have to be out by 9:00 pm. Food ordered from 8:30 on was being put in to-go containers. We were looking forward to 9:00 when they would leave, but they did not go! They refused to vacate even though they were asked nicely by the staff multiple times. This was 60 people that did not call in ahead, used gift cards and did NOT tip. They stayed until closing at 10:00 pm. The bartenders were very nice and handled themselves well even though they were clearly worried about the regulations being broken. We did not get food until almost 10:00, again the staff was very apologetic it was clearly not their fault. In addition the minors in question were clearly finished with their meal as they were running around in the restaurant playing tag, while their parents were drinking. I'm guessing it was glasses of denial because they seemed to think the rules didn't apply to them. They ruined the evening for us. If it weren't for the kindness of the staff we wouldn't be going back.

Great place... really great beer... nice employees. Enjoyed eating there twice in a three day period.

First time in, we enjoyed some beers and dinner. We sat in their big covered & heated patio area, which was quite comfy despite it being a couple & rainy night. I had the duck frites, which was so delicious the Hubs wished he had ordered the same. The Hubs and our friend each had a different sammie, which they said was good, too. The servers were all nice and in exceptionally good moods, which also brightened the otherwise dreary night outside.

Fantastic beers and atmosphere! We love hitting up this place when passing through OKC

There was a time when we adored Stormbreaker, when we considered ourselves lucky to have it be part of our neighborhood. Countless nights after a tough day at work, being too tired to cook or just needing a respite from the world, especially in the dead of winter, we would wander over for some good food, good beers, and a chat with the friendly and familiar staff. Then the pandemic struck and transformed the place, but not for the better. Gone is the neighborhood feel. Staff turnover is so high it has become one of those "where no one knows your name" place. The food now is mediocre at best, and certainly not consistent. It survives because while beer is still decent, it depends on a continual flow of unsuspecting tourists. Shared my opinion with a colleague and got the same reaction: "they have really gone downhill." To be sure, we occasionally grab some beers, just as we did yesterday, but we no longer eat, and our visits are getting less and less frequent. Then today Stormbreaker decided to signal loud and clear that they truly no longer are a member of the neighborhood, that they are here just for the tourists. BEFORE 6 AM, we were awaken to the sound of people screaming and speakers blaring. It seems the owners, in their infinite un-wisdom, decided to host a local radio station and its moronic morning show -- thereby waking up all the neighbors! What little interest we had left in Stormbreaker is now gone completely.

We came here on July 4th to grab some beers. It was around 2pm and it was a bit busy. We got a table outside right away. There's a lot of tables outside and I think there was indoors. The tables on the street actually had mists spraying and an umbrella so it kept us cool from the heat. Dog friendly brewery. They also serve food. We had the onion rings and fries. We tried some hazy IPAs. Not bad.

My brother was visiting me from Michigan and I wanted him to try some local breweries and drinks. One of the item on the bucket list was the whiskey and beer pairing offered at Stormbreaker. I treated him to a stout and whiskey pairing along with some fries on the side. The pairing was fun and felt like a classier Pir compared to Jameson and Budweiser Good seating options and good service

Such a great spot! Love the variety of food and drink. Really has something for everyone!

The food menu is very limited. The pseudo Cubano (it has pulled pork) was decent, the bread they use is excellent. What was disappointing were the side of blah potato chips, no better than something from a bag. Two other entrees on the table looked okay. The beer selection is IPA heavy and not very varied. The lemonade was delicious and refreshing. Service was very friendly and relatively fast. No complaints, no wows either. I'd go back, but not out of my way.

We came here for a few beers. Everything was great! We loved the bridge flight trays. This place has a very chill vibe with a lot of seating inside and out. We would be here so much more if we were closer!

Very very disappointed, researched best wings for the game and was excited to find this place. Got the worst dried, shriveled and tiny wings. Missing all the extra blue cheese we ordered. Can't let these over cooked wings leave the kitchen, not sure how that happened. Crunchy and hurts the jaw to chew.

Their grilled hot wings are to die for. I appreciated that their wings are not double fried, because it yielded a juicier wing. The combination of their wings and a beer is all you need. Great service!

The 3 stars pains me a little--I've been to the pub before and enjoyed their beers, and have bought a couple at stores. But rubber cement is not a good aroma for a beer. the other beer i had (both IPAs, which I love) wasn't odd just meh. The food another matter---a great value. Had the fish and chips, which you can see is a sizeable portion, fish fairly firm, just a little greasy. the "steak cut fries" were like half the thickness of the usual planks, & very good. $14. guy near me had their burger with two standard patties and fries for just $10. Great service. And maybe vary the music a little, though I wouldn't say that if i liked country.

This was a fun place to try! It was a cold, wintry day when we stopped in, so we decided to dine inside. There was outdoor seating in a tent with heaters but I needed more warmth than that. Inside there was plenty of seating at the bar or the long tables. We sampled the beer and also ordered lunch -- Soft Pretzel with Beer Cheese, Kinda Classic Cobb Salad and Chili. I thought the food was really good--the salad was perfect with that soft egg, I only wish it was warm. The bowl of chili was perfect--piping hot, slightly spicy and served with cornbread on the side. My favorite thing to get at a brewery is always the soft pretzel and this one did not disappoint. I loved the casual ambiance of Stormbreaker. The server never made us feel rushed or tried to get us to give up our table. We were able to hang out for an hour or two, enjoy the food, sip some good beer and have a great time. Definitely a great place to stop when you are in Portland!

Order for pickup at Mississippi location. When entering the restaurant, the lady asked, "need something". First impression was not welcoming, and the food was not great. Very disappointing fish and chips, 2 small pieces for $16 that was mostly batter, the Mac and cheese was good but very small portion for the price. Burger was good.

Didn't get to try the food this visit around so this review will just be based on drinks. Walking down Mississippi at 9PM there were limited places still open but we were glad to have stumbled upon Stormbreaker and them being open for another hour. When you walk by they have plenty of outdoor seating the streets, a fire pit, and additional seating under heaters (you won't be cold here!) Ordered a kamikaze cocktail for a birthday and an acai cider to sip on. If you're craving something light and fruity be sure to get any of those drinks! I would definitely get both again. In addition to the awesome seating and drinks Stormbreaker also has super friendly staff and a fire playlist. All aspects bring back the summer nights out with friends over drinks. Overall, super pleased with our visit here and the vibe of the place. Will be sure to come back to try their seasonal brews and food. Until next time!

We ordered a beer flight here - loved them. Very dog friendly place. Definitely coming back again!

A great location and service! Friendly staff and open space good for groups. I did t try anything but beer but it was all tasty.

Moved to the area in October and this has easily become my favorite go to pub. Great food, good beer, awesome bartenders. Not much more to say.

Great place! Loved the outdoor firepit for a nice cool day and enjoyed a few brews. Great beer and small bar food menu. Will be back again!

FINALLY!!! St. John's gets an awesome brewery!! This is just the kind of place that makes St. John's a bit more desirable! Stormbreaker does an awesome job with not only the inside of the brewery but the outside too. Tons of picnic tables on the covered patio or vote for the awesome a/c filled, wood lined interior. No matter what you can't go wrong. Great atmosphere all around. The food is pretty darn good too! Bottom line--- get the cluck you burger and enjoy!

Stormbreaker Brewing is along a downtown North East area of Portland. This brewery was highly recommended from friends as a must stop for great beer and food. My fiancé and I shared a flight of beer and I later got the pint of my favorite beer I tried which was the "House Martel." I also fairly enjoyed the "Tones of Home." Now as for the salads! Let me tell you something! The salads we got were some of the best salads I had at a brewery period. My fiancé got their basic Caesar Salad while I got the Mediterranean salad with chicken. The salads were absolutely a hit! Overall, our service was decent, nothing to rave about, but the food and beer was top notch! Would definitely come back! I think this is a must stop for beer lovers like I! Stop by and see what the Stormbreaker brewery is all about! They also have to go cans too if you wanted to swing by and just grab a beer to go!

STORM BREAKER BREWERY... has it going on. I've seen this place several years in passing and finally had a group that wanted to stop for a drink, they have food too. Inside bar and tables, outside bench seating, a couple fire places, kid and dog friendly of course and a fun laid back vibe. I had a whiskey beer pairing of the menu and everything was alright alright alright:) I believe they have another location...am I right?
