Al SJanuary 19, 2017Best bottle list in Portland, by a long shot. Draft beer list is solid too. They had multiple Cantillon bottles when I visited, but they unsurprisingly weren't cheap. And they have pinball machines.
HeidiAugust 22, 2017$5-6 pints pulled by knowledgeable bartenders. Huge patio space. Variety of arcade games. Designated motorcycle and bicycle parking. Tons of drafts to please beer snobs. Next to awesome tacos!
Nathan HartmannMay 15, 2015The atmosphere is killer! Plenty of picnic tables and high top tables. Great if you're looking for that outdoor patio feel. Beer selection is endless, too.
Stefani HortonAugust 22, 2012Best beer in draft, there is something for everyone. Even the gluten free folk. Amazing during the summer with the rolled up door and large patio. Plenty of bicycle parking too!
Jan RosenbergOctober 18, 2015A great selection of local, Oregon and international beers on tap. Friendly service and reasonable proces.
Fookin beer and bikes and a random cat. What else you want?
Outdoor patio. Open late always. Good European import rotation. Evil twin brewing is always on. Bring your own food / takeout / pizza.
Check their website to see what beers are being poured. The bathrooms stay smelling nice, despite the amount of urine on the floor.
Michael Brooks JrMarch 21, 2012Best beer bar in Portland! It's a must see, Jesse (the owner) is such a great guy. Ask for advice here, the staff is incredibly helpful.
Whit BreedenJune 11, 2016Believe everything you read about this place. Definitely one of the best beer spots in Portland.- Rick KirchnerJanuary 28, 2013The Best Taproom in Portland. Get some tacos next door and enjoy with a great draft at the picnic tables outside.
Daryle MaddockSeptember 29, 2012One of the best patios in Portland and an amazing beer list to go along! See their live beer menu at apexbar.com/menu
Dog BarkAugust 23, 2014Bring cash as no credit cards allowed. This is an absolute people watchers paradise. Only bar I've ever been too where I had a brew sitting next to 2 pregnant chicks, that also drank brews.- Joe ReevesMarch 24, 2011If you like the beer selection of Henry's, but hate everything else about Henry's, come here. Tons of great beers on tap, great atmosphere, and Rolling Stones pinball.
Wonderful selection of beer on tap. There are usually a few rare beers on the menu.- Stacy MDecember 9, 2012Cash only but there is an ATM onsite! Tasty tacos next door with vegan and veggie options = heaven!
Bring cash. Tasters are a buck. Best place in Portland for a beer when it's sunny.
Jeff SmithJuly 24, 2014They have Pliny The Elder on tap! One of only a small handful of bars in PDX that carries the Russian River specialty.
Jesse is the best owner! Go say hi, guaranteed great conversation.
Amazing beer selection, extremely fair pricing, tons of bike parking and friendly social vibe with outdoor beer garden style seating. Love this place!

"When you want a "fat kid special" for lunch/dinner, come get a burrito here. I always get the veggie burrito + fajita veggies in there. The chile relleno is also great."

"Picking a sandwich at Double Dragon is like falling in love. Sure, there are probably other options (read: sandwiches) out there, but once you've found true love (read: the pulled pork), who cares?"
