The Best Fish and Chips in Portland, Oregon and the Surrounding Suburbs | Eater Portland

"This Northeast 42nd pub is a common stop before or after movies at the Hollywood Theater, where locals eat U.K. standbys like Welsh rarebit or shepherd’s pie in a jolly, crowded bar room or on the breezy back patio. The fish and chips, then, hew closer to the British iteration: a foundation of Pacific cod arrives in a hearty-but-crispy batter, with a pile of chips and tartar sauce. Ask for a side of the bar’s curry sauce for dunking." - Brooke Jackson-Glidden

The Best Restaurants and Bars in Portland’s Hollywood Neighborhood | Eater Portland

"The Moon, as regulars affectionately dub it, is one of Portland’s few remaining English-style pubs, named in honor of a Somerset Maugham novel. Warm wood surroundings, heavy polished tap handles, side-by-side dart boards, and a conspicuous absence of TVs make the Moon and Sixpence a pub traditionalist’s dream. The tap list is wide-ranging, with a plurality of American micros. The food menu is more narrowly English, including fish and chips, Welsh rarebit, cottage pie, and bangers and mash. Grab a pint before a film at the Hollywood or settle in for the night with a ripping mystery novel." - Nathan Williams

Great fish & chips, good house salad and curry puffs, terrible Welsh Rarebit — dry, burned bread with almost no cheese. Live music on Sunday night was fun!

The food here is exceptional. Everything I’ve gotten has been so damn good but I highly recommend getting the cottage pie with a side order of chips and curry sauce. Great local beer selection just wish they had more English beers.

Genuine pub experience. Great beer selection and live music. Loved the vibe and would highly recommend it for a fun night out with friends or a quiet pint alone.

Outstanding dish and chips. Some of the best I've had outside of Britain. Ask for a sure of curry sauce. The place gets busy and very loud, so be prepared. However, everything was perfect, including the bread pudding

Took the bus all the way across town with my partner and it was %110 worth it. Food was delicious—the bread pudding was so damn good. We came during one of their live music nights and the energy/mood in the whole pub was so heartwarming. It made me happy to look around and see people playing cards, laughing, drinking and dancing to music together.

A Portland institution. Not only the best bar in Hollywood, but quite possibly the the best bar in the entire city. The Moon offers an extensive tap list, plates as hearty as they are delicious, and a loving, attentive staff. Simply wonderful.

Cozy little spot tucked away in Hollywood. Nice beer list, big wooden booths. Unfortunately we got food poisoning from the fish and chips last week, very clearly from the food we ate here. Can't recommend

Called ahead and told them we were walking over and we had a party of 8, I saw they don't take reservations, but I like to get a feel for a place before showing up to a packed room. When we arrived I started putting tables together only to see the server had already made us a space on the benches by the corner of the bar, awesome!!! The service and beers continued to impress, this was a fabulous experience. Kid friendly and family friendly. Great fish n chips, pot pies, favorite were the sausage roll apps.

Service was amazing even in the busiest night, they were kind and lovely. Food was 10/10, all the british classsics that were fully approved as "authentic" by my British immigrant in-laws and partner. Some of our faves: bangers and mash, curry chips, pot pie, fish and chips, bread pudding dessert and sausage rolls. Had a great beer selection with some Oregon classics like pfriem There are darts and an outside patio that allows dogs!!

I can only speak to the patio which is well kept and gorgeous. I appreciate a bar with a large and comfortable patio. I can't speak to the alcohol or bar food since I do neither. But I appreciate a nice place to hang out with a friend. The bartender was very nice to me even though I only ordered a fancy water.

This place has it all if you are wanting to visit a traditional UK style pub. There is a great selection of beers and spirits, the food is delicious and the atmosphere is friendly and comfortable. One of my personal food favorites is the Welsh rarebit.

Proper grub at this spot. Great food that feels very authentic. I would recommend the bangers and mash or the shepherds pie. Grab a pint while you're there! I like their blood orange cider. As for atmosphere this place feels like a classic pub in every way. Come on down for a traditional pub experience without the tourist price. The service has been quick and kind. No complaints here!

This place is an absolute Portland LEGEND. The food is great, the people are great, and the MUSIC IS AMAZING. You do not want to miss this pub whether you are a local or just visiting. You want to check. it. out. And I know it says it's British, but shhhh the music is mostly Irish. ;)

This is a nice spot to come and meet with friends and try to talk. Going on a Friday, I did expect a bit of a crowd and there was. Nothing too cluttered, but it did get extremely loud at times making it hard to hear the person across the table. The service was nice, though it was clear a bit short staffed for a busy night. I didn't get a lot to eat or drink, chips and a soda. This being said they were really good chips and a huge portion for a "side". The sprite was also good. As someone that can't have gluten there offerings are pretty limited for me, but from what I saw many people seemed very happy with their meals and they did look good. A benefit for sure the parking lot across the street. It made it so easy to park without normal struggle you find in older areas of the city. Also, being a lone female, I didn't feel extra concerned. Good for meeting friends and a drink.

Yummy British food, fun 80-90's music and good beverages. Had a great time and worth the 20 minute ride from the convention center to get out of the droll.

Finally got to visit after having Moon & Sixpence on my list for years. We came on a Sunday night and, lucky for us, turns out they have live music on Sunday & Monday nights. Ambiance was great. We got a table right away and our waitress was really friendly, giving good suggestions for beer. We loved the curry puffs too. Will definitely come back.

Hadn't been to this place in years, plus the one time we went their fryer was broken. So hardly a great time to leave a review. But now, the time seemed ripe and I was jones-ing for some fish and chips!! The atmosphere at Moon and Sixpence was awesome, it really is a neighborhood hang out bar. There was a group at one end of the bar that was a bit loud, but that comes with the territory and it was fun to watch them. We sat at a booth and had friendly, efficient service. Guess what I ate? Yes, the fish and chips! But seriously, it was terrific: a huge piece of flaky, crispy, flavorful fish. The chips were just as tasty. Seriously, what kind of oil do they use? It was one of the best fish and chips dishes I've ever had and I could not place the flavor completely. My husband got the bangers and mash. I tasted his mash (naughty, I know) and it was delectable. He said the bangers were quite good as well. This place is totally fantastic if you want some drinks and pub food. And really, what more could you want??

Prior to hitting the Hollywood Theater for a 9:00 movie, me and my group stopped in here.. just down the block. So glad we did! It really has that intimate cozy ambiance authentic pubs are known for. There were bar stools up at the bar, tables with chairs and booths along the wall also. I'd noticed other Yelpers mention delicious Guinness on tap so we ordered a few of those and I was also impressed how many other drafts they offered. All served in a chilled proper pub pint glass (yAAss)! The food was great! My fish & chips were fresh and delicious. The "chips" of course are French fries and these ones are crispy/perfecto. Servers are very accommodating and know how to attend to you in a timely manner + also give you a respectful amount of space. I would like to continue making visits here every time I'm in the neighborhood.

part of me hesitates in wanting to write a review of the Moon because I don't want to get overrun yet it deserves much praise! where do I start... The atmosphere transports you to a pub in the UK - no screens, dart alleys, welcoming staff and regulars who are enjoying the curated rotating beer menu as well as great English pub food. It's a hard choice for me whether to get the cottage pie, fish and chips or the pub burger which I now choose to have a side salad with rather than some of the best fries in Portland (non-greasy crispy steak fries) because the salad is so damn good! I could go on....oh but wait!, I forgot to mention the spacious back patio that is dog friendly Understated atmosphere, beers worth imbibing, and food worth celebrating. Hope to see you there.

Bartender had probably the worst attitude of any place I've been to. Dismissive, no eye contact, Very bitchy .

The server was the worst. She was inattentive and acted like we were a bother when we needed to pay the bill. I like the pub. Generally the service is great, but this person should not be in the restaurant business.

After years of visiting my Oregon family from Boston, I moved out here this month and immediately joined the Hollywood Theatre. One of the ancillary benefits is its proximity to one of my personal favorites: Moon & Sixpence. Boston is awash in Irish pubs, and the long-term game plan is to eventually retire to Western Ireland. For all of its bountiful dive bar, refurbished dive bar and brewpub offerings, however, Portland is sorely lacking in the pub department. The Kells is basically Irish pub cosplay for Beaverton bros who like to yell at screens. Paddy's does its best, but half-vacant downtown office buildings aren't doing it any favors. The Leaky Roof is used more as a dinner spot than a true pub--which it is. That leaves the Rose and Thistle and the Moon & Six within a few blocks of each other. That's just fine by me. I knew the Moon & Sixpence and I were going to get along the moment I walked it. The dark-wood, well-polished pub furniture, the cozy, almost living-room decor, the nitro and cask taps, the darts in back and the smokers' patio in the wayback all hit the right notes. So do the upside-down ready-pour whiskey bottles, the attentive-yet-discerning staff and the welcome lack of televisions. I ordered a plate of curry and chips and, for the first time in my Portland experience, I didn't have to explain what that was and didn't receive some odd pairing of fries and a spice ramekin in return. The offerings are kind of all over the place--Welsh rarebit, a surprisingly broad selection of Belgian beers, an equally astonishing vegan selection--but the weekend session music in the corner and the conversation-driven main room are all the things a pub should be. My only complaint is that this place makes it incredibly difficult to expand my horizons. I genuinely love Chin's, Duhkubee (in the Bulgogi space), Wedgehead, and Sam's, but I think it's been a full year since I've bypassed the pub for any of them. I love the new Pono brewpub, but admit I visited it through gritted teeth, not knowing if it would be worth bypassing Moon & Sixpence (it was). When you get comfortable and you know your pints of Guinness and Old Speckled Hen are waiting for you--without the forced smiles and stilted attempts at conversation that seem to accompany every other Northwest interaction--it's hard to justify the extra steps to anywhere else. Aside from the theater and Little Axe, there are few other places in Hollywood I'd rather be.

So glad this place has resumed their full menu! I've made it in three times since the pandemic shutdown, and at first it was a very short menu. But now, bangers and mash, chicken dinner, and sausage roll are once again available - and just as delicious as ever! Most recent trip was a Tuesday night with friends for dinner and drinks. The four of us ordered cheese fries, a meat pie (I think? But don't quote me!), Two burgers, bangers and mash, and a sausage roll. Everything was perfectly done, and as we had a genuine English person with us, I was instructed to dip a bit of my sausage roll in the HP brown sauce. So good! And of course, the European Guinness was available. Service was wonderful too! She could tell we'd not seen each other in a long time and told us to just leave our menus at the edge of the table when we were ready so she wouldn't interrupt us. Our genuine English person that was with us said that the only thing that wasn't authentic here was the service :-) Take note - if you'd like to sit inside, you will be asked to show proof of vaccination. Either your card or a photo of it will work. Otherwise you can sit in the massive covered area out back.

Love the atmosphere here and feel of a dark British pub. Ordered the curry puffs and they were SO good and savory. Basically a hotpocket filled with a beef stew. They had a great selection of stouts and Guinness on tap. They have darts and a cupboard of board games as well. Perfect spot on a nice slow rainy day.

Love this place so much. Great curated beer selection. Great food. Great atmosphere. I hope it's always here as it's a legend in Portland. I love to come with a group, my partner, or by myself for a few beers or dinner. Came once for St. Patrick's day and it was insane but still so fun. Some of the best fish and chips in Portland. The bartenders are always so kind and personable. I don't know what it is about portland. I've lived all over but there is a vibe in Portland for the bartenders to be standoffish. I have no idea why (ask the alibi) as I guess it's part of their 90's motif. But never that vibe at moon & six!

I want to love the Moon & Sixpence so badly, as I've lived in London and am quite fond of British/Irish pubs. Been going to Moon/6 probably 5x a year for a decade. Last night was the last time, sadly, as I can't get past how *consistently awful their bartenders are.* Brought a date in last night, sat at the bar. Place wasn't particularly busy, and the folk band was warming up off in the corner, which I greatly enjoy. We sat for 8 minutes trying to get the bartender's attention, who aggressively ignored us, wandering back and forth between the well and some band members he was chatting with. It was embarrassing to be ignored like this, and it eventually became offensive. At which time I stood up and walked over to join the line at the well. Another 5 minutes over there, with no luck. Around this time he walks over to my date to ask if she'd like anything. Took him about 5 mins to pour her a Guinness, and he had to ask me again what I'd ordered. It would be laughable if it wasn't so awkward, and really kind of sad. It wasn't the first time I've struggled with shiftless or entitled bar staff here, but it was the last. I'm quite happy to go a bit farther to TC O'Leary's or better yet, The Horse Brass Pub. Always feel my business is appreciated there.

Went Sunday at 4pm for my mums bday. Was pretty busy and only one bartender(ess) but she was awesome. Sorry I didn't get her name because the service was great even with our huge order and a couple specialty drinks. Food was great , fix and chips and sausage rolls especially. Will be coming back

A thick fog. Blood wolf moon overhead. And the creepy feel of White Chapel district. I couldn't be more convinced that this was a British pub. Brooding, is the best way to describe this place. British pie here and a ploughman's platter there. Drafts are limited, as bottles dominate. Solid neighborhood pub, though, but feels like something is missing. Maybe I prefer draft beer over bottled, just saying.

My dog was being seen at BluePearl Vet Hospital and hadn't eaten all day. Went nextdoor to Moon & Sixpence to get a veggie burger to go. Took it to my car to eat. Wasn't given a napkin or ketchup. Had to walk back to get. The veggie burger was horrible and waste of $13. Was dry, bun way too thick, bad type veggie burger (are many good ones to choose from), 2 TINY sliver of pieces of lettuce, did have 5 little pickles. The fries were dry and no fun to eat, even with ketchup. I will never go there again...

This old school pub is one of the few remaining establishments in Portland where you can get decent food in an venue that isn't trying too hard to be trendy. A mainstay of the Hollywood neighborhood, duck into Moon & Sixpence some dark and rainy afternoon for an Old Speckled Hen and a Cornish Pasty. You'll forget where you are... just for a minute or two. The pub is one of the best places in Hollywood to chill outdoors in the summer months. They have a great courtyard behind the pub with excellent seating and darts! (Darts as booze... it may be fun, but is it really a good idea?) Moon & Sixpence doesn't have any Happy Hour pricing, but their prices aren't too bad to begin with. Maybe that's how they've managed to stay around for as long as they have.

I walked into Moon & Sixpence British Pub because one of my friends suggested it. It was when I was pregnant in the early 2000s... and I had a craving for Welsh Rarebit. I should have known it wasn't going to be good. I think I ordered the Welsh Rarebit... I was served a Fish & Chips. I don't actually like most Fish & Chips... so I was confused when it was set before me. I asked what else do you have to the all business bartender. He said I need to check your ID. I showed him it and he put a pint which looked like too much beer in front of me. I gave him a surprised look. I told him... I don't want to disappoint you but I'm not drinking That. He assured me that it was good beer. I replied I don't know what he thought I wanted buy I didn't ask for any beers. I made a comment about what the price of the Fish & Chips was going to cost as I was handing over my money. He replied... it's 16 for the meal. I said... I need an ATM. He pointed with his eyebrow to the weird little kiosk machine that I passed in the middle of the pub. I didn't know why... still.... I didn't get Welsh Rarebit. I went back to my seat at the bar... and was told I could eat anywhere I wanted. I replied... this is as good a spot as any. I was told the next time bring your purse! I said... I don't need one I have a nice checkbook holder and a wallet. The all business bartender looked at my wallet after I pulled it from my pocket in my pants. He said... you're a local! I replied... I am... I thought you knew me from somewhere else. He said where. I said... you look like another guy. He replied... I do? I said... you do. I was handed a pint of water. He said... you'll need it. The Chips weren't that tasty... and the Fish was too greasy. He said... we were going to hire a different guy... but this guy needs the money! I replied... so.. is he trying to make it American style? The all business bartender said... I'm not sure,... maybe so. I told the bartender... I have to go now... I'm due for an appointment after one bite of the Fish. He replied back... you're not happy. I said... I was happier before I got pregnant... most days except Wednesday if it was the 13th of the month. He replied... why Wednesday the 13th? I said... it's always a man made object that impedes my path and upsets the time continuum on the 13th when it falls on a Wednesday. He said... do you read Tarot? I said... I can sometimes, yes... and I'm very good at it... I get better every damn time I read my Tarot. I told him... I had been practicing my shuffling of the deck. He replied... you'll like eating the Welsh Rarebit more... I replied... that's what I thought I ordered before. He tipped his imaginary hat as I stood up. He replied... why don't you want the beer? I told him... pregnancy and beer or alcohol don't mix well. He replied... I should have known. I said... it's not your fault.... I'm only just pregnant. I said... make sure you go to an Audiologist or a hearing aid doctor as soon as you're able. He said... he didn't know why he didn't hear Welsh Rarebit and he was sorry for messing up my meal order. I'm giving the all business bartender three stars because he said he was sorry... and there was a working ATM. Also... I didn't know that most bartenders were supposed to be so chatty. I hadn't been inside a Pub since the early 1990s in England... but, the Pubs are different across the pond... very different.

Been there twice. One bartender was friendly, while the other was business only. Beer selection is good, and the drafts are 20oz. Food is only OK. Not sure if this is the pub's fault, or because English food is known to be bland. It's supposed to have a nice patio, but I didn't go look. Gave an extra star because they check if you have been vaxinated. This is important to me.

Great food and atmosphere! Inside has that traditional pub feeling, and they have a surprisingly large patio area that is dog friendly!

I'm all about vaccinations for to keep our community safe but I could not eat here tonight because my 3 year old was not vaccinated. My husband and I are both vaccinated and my son is not eligible for it yet. He's asymptomatic and no where on their signage does it mention that they require vaccinations for kids under 5. If he could get vaccinated I'd be the first one in line. I understand each restaurant can make their own rules, but this one just doesn't sit well with me. Bummer because I loved this place.

I'm giving this place five stars even though I haven't had the food yet. The atmosphere is awesome, the beer is good, the music is not too loud, and the pace is Furlong in a fortnight. This is going to be our new hangout place. This is an update after having the food. I tell you this is a high-end fancy restaurant disguised as a neighborhood English pub. The food Rivals any five-star restaurant anywhere in the world. You should drop everything and come here for dinner, now!

What a fun evening! Friends of ours suggested a visit to one of their favorite pubs where they are regulars. We were game for some beers and definitely needed some food but we weren't in the fancy meal mood. Ambiance is British Pub (thus the name) darker inside beautiful wood bar, dart nooks, folks playing cribbage, varied seating options and a great outdoor space. The place was very busy but the staff was attentive and friendly- never having to wait for a drink. When it came time for food I ordered and shared the fish and chips. Oh it was so authentic and so good. A real deal fish and chips best I've had in a long time. Overall, this is a great pub! We will definitely be back.

I've been coming here on and off for the past several years and it's one of those comforting pubs that gives off a relaxed and unpretentious vibe. You can come in and know what to expect. It's a great neighborhood bar that I will gladly travel to as I don't live in the Hollywood 'hood. It's dark and cozy with a few booths and tables. They also have board games while you wait for your drinks or food. Yeah, it can get pretty rowdy on a weekend, but hey there's a bunch of other tables that you can hide in. I love the comfort food they serve such as bangers & mash, shepherds pie, fish 'n chips and the beef & mushroom pie. You can't really go wrong with any of those choices. I don't come here to be healthy but I do come to grab a comforting meal and a pint of beer.

I don't think I like British pubs. They're all so wooden and dark inside. Considering this revelation, I won't hold the wooden darkness against Moon & Sixpence. They have a great beer list, both taps and bottles, and darts! The dart area isn't amongst the tables, which I really like, and the darts they loan you are excellent in quality! The guy at the bar, whose name I overheard was Mike, was really amazing. He had a pleasantness that made me want to hang out and talk to him beyond just ordering beer. It's in our neighborhood, so I'm sure we'll be back!

Great beer list really good food. I straight up love the sausage rolls and bangers&mash.... Cottage Pie is a little too rustic for my taste. It would be perfect if the veg were a little finer chopped.

My kind of place. English pub meets dive bar with a decent beer selection and really good fish & chips. As someone who used to live in Boston I can turn Masshole if I am disappointed with my fish & chips. Good fish & chips are so good...and substandard fish & chips are a huge disappointment. The batter is important but not as important as the cooking time. Just like eggs, batter fried fish is more difficult to prepare correctly than you would think...it is a fine line between luxuriously soft and flaky fish and chewy and stringy overdone fish. And fish & chips should be made with Cod or Haddock...that is all. Solid fish & chips here.

This is my new favorite pub in the area. Hands down. And when I say new, I mean new to me, because this place has obviously been well known/well loved for quite some time, and for good reason. Good food, relaxed environment, helpful friendly staff, nice outdoor area, and an excellent area for playing darts!! And the thing that really strikes me, is this is more of a classic pub/gathering area based on community, in comparison to your average bar focused on consuming alcohol. I really like the vibe here! The food is rich and comforting, and they have legit steel tip darts, what else do you need?!

I'm pretty sure I've been into this same pub in England. Yup, I think it was in Oxfordshire. In any event, the Moon and Sixpence is the quintessential English pub - complete with wood paneling, poor lighting and nicked table tops and chairs. Everything about the pub screams authentic. Well, everything except the wide assortment of Pacific Northwest beers on tap - and, uh . . . the fact that the beer you order at the Moon is always cold (vs. the "real" English pub experience in the U.K. where every beer seems to be just barely above room temperature. I really like this place and only wish it was closer to our neck of the woods. Alas, I guess I will have to make the occasional pilgrimage to the Hollywood District for some delicious English pub food and Fort George beer on tap.

What age great spot for dinner drinks and darts. We connected up with some friends for the three. We started off the nite with the curry fries and the rarebit. I was slightly disappointed with the fries because the curry was just a dipping sauce and was good but was expecting more of a gravy style. Idk maybe I'm just crazy. The rarebit was good as well but it's a version of cheesy bread hats pretty darn tasty. Moving onto the main dishes the four of us ordered the cheese sandwich, full order of fish and chips, the roasted chicken and of course the Bangers and mash. Each dish was fantastic I would liked to have seen the fish cooked a scosh longer or dried different so that it stays crisp but that's me just being me. I swear the mash must have been a five pound sack of taters. The Cheese sandwich had some good sharp cheddar and was delicious served with crisps(American chips). That roast chicken was amazing so herby and delicious. Skin was nice and crispy and not greasy at all oh and the carrots that came with it were like butter so soft and delicious. We ended the night with darts and that's a lot of fun when uve been drinking lol.

I stopped by here after a meeting, on the way back to the airport. I grabbed a seat at the bar, which was mostly full already just after opening. They have a lot more beers on tap than I expected, but I went for an old "stand by" Guinness & a pie. I figured i ate enough pie & mash to know what good and what is not. Right iff the bat, I knew this pub was a winner. The bartender poured my Guinness perfectly!! A+ I ordered a Welsh rarebit to start. It came out a little too toasty... But what I could eat was pretty good. ( At least I still had my guinness) I then ordered a steak & mushroom pie.... I was surprised that it came with a salad and not mashed... But OK, i'll try. The pie was outstanding! The salad was salad.... IF my pie came traditionally.... with mashed & peas, this would have been a 5, in-spite of the over toasted rarebit. The service was great, even with the amount of customers and only 1 bartender. And the customers...!!! I sat next to a group of local regulars, from Scotland originally by their accents, who made me feel welcome and like I belonged there. A great place for a perfectly poured Guinness and some real tasty food.

Sadly, the food here now is a pale imitation of the delicious fare made with love from pre-pandemic days. 'Nuf said...

My husband really likes this bar restaurant...but it's a little bit too dark and divey for me but the food is 100% delicious and that makes me happy.

Haven't been here for a few years; doesn't look like much has changed, which is a good thing. One great thing about this place is it has that homey pub feel imagine British/Irish pub would have, with old wood, tings packed in a little. The best thing about this place is the service, our waitress was very helpful. Melba's soup and my steak & mushroom pie were tasty, but also salty. Good beer and whiskey selection.

I want to like this place but just don't.... I dread friends who always seem to want to go here. I just don't get it. They always seem short staffed. This time it just seemed very challenging for us to get our server to come to our table. She was by nice when she finally come over. I don't drink beer...yep, I am THAT person. I do, however love their framboise martini which is well made. Their food is not impressive...at least their fish and chips isn't. On top of it being meh I was almost angry at the portions. Me and my friend sitting next to me ordered it...me, full order and she got the half order. They were both the same size but one was served on a smaller plate. If friends did not demand we meet here, I would not willingly go here....especially when there are some great places nearby.
