Worker-owned cafe & beer bar with 20 taps, coffee, food cart



















"This house-turned-union hangout on Southeast 12th is home to several cozy spots to curl up with a copy of Das Kapital, whether it’s in the second-floor library, home to comfy couches and shelves of theory to peruse (or borrow), or the main bar room, decked out in photos from Oregon’s labor movement history. When it comes to food, Erica’s Soul Food is parked out back, which means pints of Guinness and glasses of Proletariat Red can arrive alongside vegan wings or maple hot fried chicken and sweet potato waffles." - Carrie Uffindell

"At the worker-owned brewery Workers Tap, daytime hours were expanded to offer espresso, tea, and pastries from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. every day following a successful run with pop-up cafe Caracol, a partnership that began in February 2023; beer and wine will continue to be available all day at the taproom." - Rebecca Roland

"The leftist hangout Workers Tap will host a fundraiser on Saturday, May 4 to support the Fried Egg Workers Union." - Brooke Jackson-Glidden

"Housed upstairs from a familiar organizer hangout, the new Workers Tap in Southeast Portland positions itself as a public house for labor organizers: its walls feature scenes from Oregon’s labor movement, the bar offers 19 taps, a small library stocked with political and historical titles is available for patrons, and a basement community space can be rented out for free by groups." - Eater Staff

"Workers Tap was in our regular rotation for date night." - Eater Staff
