If you haven't had it, you should try it. It's refreshing and the blends are original and delicious. Think Lavender-Ginger, or Blackberry-Habenero.... or just go try a few and then enjoy a pint or a flight! Order food at Tamale Boy and they will bring it to you since they share a space.

Good food. Started out as a food cart and got so popular they needed a homefront. Have a margarita or beer here OR order your food here and go have a fizzy wine next door at Hi Wheel!

This is the first non-profit brewery in existence. Like they say, "have a pint, save the world!" Go eat and drink and then choose what charity you want your proceeds to go to -- the organizations that they work with are so amazing, it's often hard to choose. That's a great excuse to frequent this place.

Artsy, foodie, local. Tons of great restaurants and shops, services. If you're in town on a "last Thursday" in the summer, go and enjoy yourself on Alberta Street. It'll be crowded, so if you don't want a cultural crowd to immerse yourself in, pick a NON "last Thursday"

Portland Sports

WELCOME TO SOCCER CITY, USA. They call us that, and for good reason. We are freakin crazy about soccer. The Portland Thorns FC, The Portland Timbers FC -- maybe you've heard of them, maybe not. If you like soccer and enthusiasm even a little bit, try and make it to a game and feel the soccer love. 2019 Schedules: https://www.timbers.com/thornsfc/2019-thorns-fc-schedule https://www.timbers.com/schedule Live games are best, but watching at a local bar full of fans is fun too.
