Rough-edged but hyper-functional, this Montavilla
watering hole is aggressive on one-offs and hosts epic monthly beer
summits. Aside from being one of Portland's best beer bars by taps
alone, the bar is frankly ingenious. Rather than constantly update their
tap list, they simply aimed a webcam at the chalkboard. They also
hosted the most beautifully efficient (and democratic!) Pliny the
Younger release in recent memory, by placing each person's name on a
list, with a dedicated pourer, rather than invite a terrifying line at
the bar. They solve their food needs by ordering in sushi from next
door, and their smoking porch has a vent fan with an on/off switch. See?
Ingenious.
Happy hour: 2-6 pm daily. Food specials, $1 off wells.
