A piece of Portland history, Produce Row was first home to the Italian families who paved the way for our culture of farmers markets. Then, it hosted some of the earliest microbrews that would go on to define the Oregon beer scene. Today, it's back in good hands—a great gastropub with a huge tap list, hearty home cooking, a casual but comfortable vibe, and a sprawling back patio.
