Deschutes Brewery Portland Public House

Wow. This place is a feast for the eyes! When you walk in, it feels expansive. Before you even eat, it feels like an experience, not just a dinner out. Before I sat down, I browsed the specialty beers they only sell there. If you like beer shopping, you might spend thirty minutes doing that instead of eating or drinking. I did! I didn't actually eat, but the dishes I saw looked yummy. I sat at the bar and had a barrel-aged imperial stout. Wow. Excellent. They have a great selection of yummy beers on tap. And really, I just loved looking around at everything, like the brewing equipment. Everything was clean (including the bathrooms). This is my kind of place.

Great ambiance for a pub restaurant. Service was fast and the menu was not complicated. Make sure you ask about the daily soup options; go for the salmon chowder if they have it. It is really great! It would be good to have some pasta and more vegetarian options other than salads. There should be at least one more steak option that does not cost over $40. Beers were pretty good. I was surprised to see a homegrown whisky option. Good place to take your family. Revisited with a friend. We sat at the bar this time. One thing I noticed is there is no facility to leave your bag or jacket at. It would be great to have hooks attached under the bar to hang your stuff while sitting. Coho salmon was cooked to perfection and loved the side salad. Pub Pale is an excellent creamy beer. Service was also great and speedy. I also loved the colorful shirts the bar staff was wearing - nice touch!

I loved this place. The ambiance is amazing. The staff was also super cool and accommodating and chill. What I loved most was the Guava Sour Beer, it might be my new favorite thing 😊 The food was also great, the hummus platter with all veggies instead of pita was the best I've ever had. I highly recommend them
