Things To Do
VilleVelo Bake Shop & Espresso
This is where it all started!! You HAVE to swing by, let them know you're here for the Allyson & Austin wedding. :)))
Revolution Hall
Fun rooftop bar if the weather is nice!
Mississippi Pizza
Pizza by the slice! What makes this place special is that most nights they have open mic nights for musicians or comedians!
McMenamins Kennedy School
McMenamins is a quirky local hotel & restaurant/ bar chain around WA and OR. What makes Kennedy school special is that you can grab a cocktail and make your way to their courtyard to enjoy an hour in the soaking pool. Book in advance, $10 for 1 hour.
McMenamins Edgefield
A fun hotel outside of Portland, spend the day walking around, having drinks at their different bars and enjoying their weird art. Edgefield has gardens, a 9 hole golf course, soaking pool and movie theater!
Cheese & Crack Snack Shop
28th street has a lot of good restaurants and bars, but we FREQUENTLY revisit Cheese & Crack for their soft serve ice cream. Don't forget to get the chocolate cowboy hat ;)
Oaks Amusement Park
Got kids? Take em down to Oaks Amusement Park
Birdie Time Pub and Mini Golf
Have you ever wanted to see Portland, OR in mini golf form? NOW'S YOUR CHANCE! It's indoors so it's good for crummy weather, and you can putt putt away while sipping on a beer.
Fun Neighborhoods to visit
Hawthorne Neighborhood: Known for vintage shopping, walk up and down Hawthorne AVE. and enjoy shopping, coffee shops and restaurants. Mississippi Street: Fun street for bars, restaurants and live music. Mississippi Studios - Live Music Stormbreaker - Brewery and food Prost - Bavarian brewery Northwest/Nobb Hill Anything on NW 23rd Street is a totally different vibe than anything on the east side of town. Super fun to walk up and down and enjoy coffee shops, distillery's and boutique shops. My favorites are... Portland Leather Company, Matador for Mexican Food, Burnside Distillery for local Whiskey.
Inner City Hikes!
