Things To Do
Midtown Beer Garden Food Carts
Great food cart pod walking distance from the hotel. 27 different food carts to choose from! Open 9 AM - 9 PM
Pine State Biscuits | NW 23rd
Iconic breakfast spot with multiple locations serving up homemade biscuits and gravy. Sticks to your bones!
The Mont
Another popular breakfast spot. You really cant go wrong with anything they make. Our faves are the breakfast burrito and the French toast.
Spielman Bagels and Coffee Roasters
Closest thing to "NY Bagels" we have found out here. Still not quite as good as the real deal but gets the job done (or so we tell ourselves)
The Baker's Mark
Hands down best sandwich in Portland. They bake their bread fresh daily so when the bread runs out they close for the day. Get the "Godfather" on the dutch crunch bread and you wont regret it.
Nostrana
Our favorite Italian spot serving up incredible pizza and pasta using fresh, local ingredients. Huge wine list with an in-house sommelier who will help you decide on the wine that best matches your meal.
Hat Yai Belmont
If we could only recommend one place to eat this would be it. Casual counter-service restaurant serving up amazing southern Thai food. Fried chicken, curry, rice, fresh made roti... do we need to say anything else? EAT HERE!
Eem - Thai BBQ & Cocktails
Quite possibly the most popular restaurant in Portland and worth every bit of hype it gets. Incredible Thai BBQ. Doesn't take reservations because they don't have to. Expect a wait but easy to get a drink down the street until a table is ready. White curry with Brisket Burnt-ends is the must order.
Bamboo Sushi
Solid sushi spot with multiple locations. Spicy tuna crispy rice is our favorite!
The Love Shack
Unique spot with tiny cocktails and snacks going around on rolling carts. Fun experience. 21+ only.
G-Love New American Kitchen
Family style small plates featuring fresh local ingredients. Unique cocktail list as well.
Scottie's Pizza Parlor NW
Similar story closest thing to good "NY Pizza" we have found out here. Still not the same but we enjoy it. They are closed on Sundays (makes no sense)
Flying Fish Company LLC
Fresh oysters and incredible fish and chips. They also make a mean hurricane, need we say any more?
RingSide Steakhouse
Classic old school steakhouse claiming to have the best onion rings in the world (they are pretty dang good)
Dolly Olive
Serves up Southern Mediterranean food and fresh made pastas. Does family style small plates so you can get a little taste of everything.
Tusk
Mediterranean that is seasonal and fresh Pacific Northwest ingredients. Yummy hummus and pita.
Jacqueline
Petite seafood restaurant/oyster bar. Menu changes daily based on what is fresh.
Canard
Can't miss out on the steam burgers!
MidCity SmashedBurger @ Level Beer: Level 3 Buckman Kerns
Our favorite smash burger food truck. Multiple locations scattered across the city. Grab food at this one then hit up Sandy Hut for a drink :)
Roof Deck at Revolution Hall
Rooftop of an old school turned entertainment space. Fun spot to grab a drink in nice weather and take in a view of the city.
Sandy Hut
Great dive that's been open since 1923. Has pool tables, buck hunter, and jello shots.
Satellite Tavern
Huge outdoor space with lots of TVs. Nice spot to catch a game while enjoying the sunshine.

The Alibi Tiki Lounge
Step into this time machine, the 2nd oldest Tiki bar in the country, where there is Karaoke every single night! Drink a zombie if you want to forget how bad you sang.

Craftsman home turned neighborhood bar. Sit in the backyard and enjoy chicken fingers and tornado fries.
Bar Bar
Just down the street from The Rambler. Has a large outdoor space and excellent burgers.
