Great place! The staff were friendly. If you like strong porter/ stout kind of beers this place currently has some great beer on tap. I was very happy with the selection. The interior is very calming and has that exact brick/wooden bar feel. I like that there is seating near the brew kettles it just amps up the authenticity.Their beer is so good its skewing my untapped ratings. This ended up being my favourite Portland brewery! They have new brews rather often and great food too. The brew master is awesome!

Aug 2020 review: The food here is awesome! And I’m very happy they setup patio seating. The passing buses are a bit annoying but the passing trains are super awesome! There tends to be a lot of homes in the area but this restaurant is a GEM in an area hit particularly hard by covid and could use your business!!! Keep our local business strong 💪

The bar is conveniently located near the grey hound station and only a few blocks north of Burnside. The parking isn’t great, no where downtown is, and the bathroom is so-so. The beer selection and staff are great. It’s a nice get-away from the busy city and traffic. The interior design is relaxing and fun to be in.

Great place for a beer. Rotating Taps, variety as well (they had a tripel). I have only sat in the bar area, but they have a very good vibe to the tap house. Knowledgeable staff, and the food is great, good variety on apps (not all deep fried) and although their menu isnt massive, whats on there is very good. I definitely recommend this place to start a night out or get together with a small group. The only downside is the layout of the taphouse area. It can be good/bad depending on your goal for the visit. It isnt meant for a group larger than 4 by any means and is a little bit crowded at that number.

Easily the most underrated brewery in Portland. I wish they would do another run of their radler which they havent done in a few years, as it was hands down the best radler I ever had, but there other selection is great. There food is really good too, and their prices are on point.

Amy is amazing, very welcoming. We felt at home. Death Rides a Harley will kick your butt with many of there other beers. I had such a great time that we met up with a new friend from our beer page.All staff was great, but we liked Amy best.

Really enjoyed stopping here on a hot walk through the city. Great fries too!

Nice quiet location away from Skidmore and Ankeny Market crowds. we like our beers and sitting outside as we rode bikes over from Gladstone. Burgers and more on the menu. We tried the beer dip starter but realized we needed more and ordered a burger too. Try it for yourself!

Great atmosphere, beer and food. Close to the Amtrak station and Greyhound.

Pints is a great place to stop for happy hour! Grab some sliders and a beer in the back room and watch the magic happen.

LOVE the stouts, which included a Black Forest Cake flavour. Cool little place and the $5 burger is a steal!

Very cool place. Nice selections, the people are very nice and a nice atmosphere.

Nice quiet place with good food and beer

Stopped here on a whim with our golden. Place was packed but everyone was so friendly it didn’t even matter.Really good food (and the chef even came out to give us our food which was super nice). And the beers are all good. My husband liked the Awesome Sauce IPA the most.Definitely a good place to visit for both food and beer! Mike the GM is awesome

The guy at the train station recommended ascendant Brewery, and it was a delight to go there. They had the best poutine Ive ever tasted there, and the other menu items to my family had was excellent also. The grilled cheese sandwich I had was excellent, and the beer was superb. I had the red Stout which I would highly recommend.

Great selection on beer & music

Great beer (we had hazy and American IPAs) and fries. 5 min from the train station. Super friendly and educational servers. Couldn’t be cleaner, cozier, or more welcoming!

The best French fries I’ve ever had. Also the best staff, so friendly and outgoing. We spent about an hour and a half and had absolutely the best time. Take the time to visit, you won’t regret it.

This place is dope!! Came in here for lunch on a Friday and had excellent service, good vibes and GREAT food. $8 for a bomb sandwich, can’t beat it. This place has great potential, hope they do well.

I know the owners and they do a great job at coming up with new beers to have on tap, while keeping some of their best going all year long. Not a huge selection of food but what they do serve is delicious! They have some of the best french fries I have ever eaten.

Great food. My wife says these were the best chicken tenders Ive ever had. Great service. Clean and good atmosphere. They deserve all five stars.

Pints location in NW Portland make it a great destination for food and craft beer when exploring downtown. It is only a few blocks from the waterfront and Saturday Market. And, it is situated along the train line. There a few tables outside on the sidewalk. They have a very diverse and unique tap list. The service is excellent and the staff is really friendly. The location is clean and inviting. Their food is quite good, and a they offer a small but wonderful Happy Hour menu. Happy Hour specials are available all day Sunday. There is an event space in the rear that holds a fair amount of people, and you can look into the brewery.

Wow! Short walk from Union Station and you arrive at this little gem. A nice little bar but the food blew us away. Absolutely delicious! Hubby got the buffalo chicken sandwich. I got the pulled pork sliders. Both came with hand cut fries. We will DEFINITELY go back!

Awesome food, I have never been disappointed. They have an amazing homemade black bean burger and a rotating list of specials. In house brewed and delicious beers on tap. Highly recommended!

Went for the first time today. Killer ambience, excellent service. Beer was solid. We had a blonde coffee stout and a hazy IPA which were both good. I suspect this place will only continue to get better!

Absolutely great brewery with a nice selection of beer. They have happy hour from 3 to 6 and then again from 9 to close. Their poutine is really good and RICH! their burgers are very good too. They have music the first friday of each month with is fun, and the singer was amazing!

First off, the fries we got with our pints were amazing. Good fry sauce, but the texture of the fries was great. Would have gotten more if I had known ahead of time and not already ordered food. The cubano was good, as was the burger. The brioche bun on the burger was just crispy enough and well buttered, but the pistou soup was another winner. Fries and soup is what Im planning on getting next time.

Absolutely loved this place. The woman at the counter was very nice and helpful. The cold-brew is awesome and sitting in the window provides great people-watching and a spot to read the paper (they have a rack with a few).I miss it already. Cant wait to go to Portland again as this will be my first stop.

The bartender (who happened to be the manager) was great. Such flair with his glass handling. Had a great time with a few pints. Would come back and visit again.

Great place. Mike was fantastic. We’ll definitely be back.

Its your standard pub food, but elevated! Everything on the menu is delicious, even their salads. Good beer selection as well. Friendly staff and a cozy atmosphere! Wish I lived closer by so this could be my go-to haunt.

Best food and service in Portland. Try the home made pickles. The best! Thank you ladies for a great experience.

What an awful experience my family and I had today. Derrick might be the rudest server I have ever come across. From the moment we walked in we were told to expect a long wait because he was the only one on the floor (there where FOUR other customers in the place) and that if a brew cycle came he would have to serve them first....mind you its 11:30 am on a Tuesday. Next, his attitude towards our three-year-old daughter playing with a coaster was comical. Refusing to pour her water until she stopped. Then came our food order that was met with more disrespect after a simple question about gluten-free bread. To top it all off, he disregarded my wifes food allegories as he didnt ask the cook to leave egg/dairy off of salad. We know this because even the cook apologized and showed us the lack of notes. Finally, the correct food comes, do you think we have cutlery???...hahaha NOPE. Does Derrick come to check??? NOPE. Again having to bother the cook for help. The best part was this entire time one of the managers was pouring over the recent negative reviews on Yelp right next to us... I think we all know where the issue lies. Really sad because I used to like going here for lunch. Never again.

My favorite brewery in Portland by far! Amy was a great bartender and the food was good, fast and affordable. We tried a flight and both loved all the beers which has never happened before!

Beers were ok. Service was great, but 3 times i came in and waited around with no one working at the bar (or anywhere to be seen.) A little more presence is needed in this area of town, especially. Sit outside and watch crack addiction at its finest.

Awesome little brewery in Old Town. All beers brewed in house, have a ten tap bar with some staples of the place as well as a few rotating handles. Happy hour is great with $3 pints and food discounts. Service is excellent. Employees have great beer knowledge and are cool to talk to. Definitely recommend you stop by here.

Most satisfying and delicious Caesar salad. Delicious chicken tenders and poutine. Delicious beer. Friendly staff.

They get one of the few five stars that I give out because they had an awesome singer tonight Beth Williams. Also, I enjoyed the pulled pork and stouts :)

Really an amazing and kind of low key spot downtown. Always well-made and interesting beer on tap, plus higher quality food than most breweries. For us, more importantly theyre super kid friendly and have a great back room.

Limited menu but excellent food. Appears to have a good selection of beer. Would recommend it to anyone else.

Scale of 1 -5 (1 being worst rating - 5 being the best rating)Atmosphere: 3 (It is relaxing, but not what I expected on a weekend in PDX.)Cleanliness: 3(Standard, nothing to specifically mention .)Menu: 5 (Great beers very good seasonal selection.)Service: 2 (Here is where I had the problem with this place. On a dead night it took over 20 minutes to get service. The two young females working there at the time seemed more interested flirting with the men surrounding them.)Sustain: N/AImprove: Service, needs to be addressed by management.Unique: N/AFail: N/A

We came when it was a bit busy. Server didnt seem to be able to keep up. Ordered the gyro, and it was pretty dry, even the tzatziki itself was dry. Menu was pretty limited. Was pretty neat seeing someone work with the beer vats while we waited.

Relaxing atmosphere and great food. Excellent and friendly staff. Great deals during happy hour.

Our favorite pub in Portland. Its the only place where my wife and I can both find half a dozen beers we like. The pub food is pretty standard but it is fine well. Great place.

Small but very nice and relaxing place with good beer! We stopped there before a concert at Roseland. Will definitely go back!

Great beer, great service, great coffee and good food. Coffee bar in the front, beer/food in the back as well as a couple of tvs to watch sports games. Good place to go if youre not into big sports bars but want to watch a game with some friends.

I stopped by here for a meetup with a local data science group, which occupied the entire backside of the place. There are a few tables, the kitchen, and brewing equipment around, so its a really nice space. Since it was just after noon, I just had a refillable mug of coffee ($1.50), but they have a good array of beers on tap. Id like to come back later in the day and try the brews.

Good stop for your brewery tour. Its right on a train line and has quite a few good beers to choose from. It seemed understaffed when I was there, but the bartender was pleasant and helpful.

Super friendly staff and the absolute best fries and homemade fry sauce. And the beer is delicious!

If you need an after-work drink and a bite to eat, this is a great option! Their beer is quite splendid (and I dont typically like beer...*gasp* so not cool in Portland) and the staff is delightful. They also do coffee in the morning!

Favorite brewpub in Portland. Delicious food and amazing beer. Great atmosphere too and it’s great during sunny weather when they set-up tables outside.

Great beer, food, service, and atmosphere. 5/5! The burger itself was bomb, not to mention the addicting fry sauce and pepper jelly, both fantastic. The Cha-Cha-Chata was by far my favorite beer, super drinkable with the perfect amount of spices. So glad we took a growler home with us! Keep up the amazing work and we will be back on our next Portland trip!

Our favorite local brewery. Great variety of beers. Awesome Sauce IPA is the best IPA in Portland. Flatbreads are delicious.

Burger was delicious. Unfortunately, I cant say the same about the beer. Cool little place though with a convenient location. Well placed large TVs too

Amazing place. Happy hour deals are great especially the 9pm to close every night. All the food Ive had is tasty and the beers are phenomenal. The marzen is the best Ive had outside Germany.

Monday is free French fries with a pint day. They have their own beers (broad selection) and great food. The house made pickles, burger and chicken tenders are not to be missed.Oh yeah, before lunch this place doubles as an espresso bar with pastries.

Great happy hour soot for drinks and appetizers. Tap list is small compared to some bars but solid choices from every category. I think I would cone back and try in the morning as a coffee shop.

Love Sunday brunch here. Its simple, but really good. And now they have a Bloody Mary bar on Saturdays and Sunday!

Have only been one time, cant wait to try it again and give it a better review and most likely an improved review. The only reason it doesnt get more stars is because a lot of their taps were out when I went. So my selections were parred down dramatically.

They have some really good beer. Not to mention their food is pretty good too.

We had just a horrible breakfast here! We asked for coffee and water only got coffee the burritos suck. the breakfast sandwich was amazing that was the only good part of the experience. I ordered a blended ice coffee drink and when I got it I took a sip and it tasked like watered down coffee it was liquid and foam and I didnt touch it and after 5 min all the foam settled and there was less than 1/2 a cup of the drink !!!! The bloody Marys suck also and the service common sense dont leave your table with out a drink by the time I got my drink my food was gone !!! I waited for ever for the check as well and they were not busy !! Dont go here

A smaller place with really friendly staff, good beers, and a decent selection of food. I stopped here on a whim while it wasn’t busy, and had a great experience. I’ll certainly be back!

Bizarrely overlooked to often -- its a really great place! Off the beaten track a bit, but worth seeking out! Coffee shop by day, Brew pub by night. Good beer! Good food!

Awesome brewery and pub. Great food and beer, especially happy hour. One of my favorites!

Comfortable and casual with excellent beer selection. Great spot close to Union Station to pass some time or get some excellent sandwiches to take on a trip

Great food and service! Bartender was very attentive and polite.

Laid back small setup with solid beers. Fries dine right!

Update: Another excellent eatery lost to Covid. 🥲I stopped in here a year ago, thank goodness Facebook reminded me because I couldnt remember the name of the place, and I always wanted to go back! I had an out-of-this-world hamburger, delicious coffee and great service. Excited to take others there.

An Oasis in the desert. Thank you guys for your hospitality and breakfast sammich.

Came here as part of the Brew Cycle tour - they have some love craft beers - try the Apritart! Happy hour light bites also available ($3-$5) from 3-6pm.

We love coffee in the morning! Scones, bagels, breakfast sandwiches! Yum! Thank you Stephanie for the welcome and the best coffee too!

Stopped in while waiting on our connection with Amtrak. Greg, the Metropolitan Lounge attendant suggested Pints, glad we took his advice!The 3 of us enjoyed pork sliders, chicken tenders & caprese along with a selection of their house brews.You cant go wrong here folks!Stop by and please your palate without being robbed!( Careful around the Greyhound station, LoL! )Great food, Great service, Friendly and Welcoming atmosphere!Raising a Pint to ya!

Nice atmosphere and great beers on tap. The distance from the Grey Hound makes it a perfect stop for travelers with some time to kill between busses.

5 stars for the beer and service, 3 stars for the food.They have a limited selection of mains. I had the burger medium well with guacamole and roasted onions. It was decent, but the bun seemed a bit stale. Everything else about the place was awesome.We got free fries with our beer because it was Fryday (aka Monday). Our server was super friendly and generously explained the beers to us.For the beers, I ordered the Tripel Whammy which was sweet and fruity/spicy and summer ale, which was delicious and exactly what youd expect.The place was empty at 745pm on a Monday night, which seemed a bit odd.

Stopped by here after OBF, the guy behind the bar was quick and efficient, and he knew his stuff.

Their beers and food are good, and its one of the few places in the immediate area worth eating at. Staff is friendly, and the interior has a decent amount of space and can accommodate small groups.

Decent selection of taps, and fairly large bottle and pack selection of beers ranging from all over.

This place is next door to where I work. Great food thats a little upscale pub food. Hteat service. Nice employees.

I find myself liking this place more and more every time I come in. Located in downtown Portland near Union Station right off the Max-line, PINTS Brewing is fairly new to the city (2012) and is the first brewery in Old Town/Chinatown since 1852. Brewed in house, PINTS has 10 beers on tap, mostly NW and British style beers showcasing Oregon grown hops such as Seismic IPA, Steel Bridge Stout, and Brick House Blonde. Standard pub food available such as burgers, salads, and sandwiches. Limited seating inside and at the bar, as well as outside seating available. Come by during Happy Hour (3-6pm) with $3.50 pints and small food menu available, or interestingly between 7-11:30 am when PINTS opens up as a morning coffee shop, offering coffee from Portland Roasting as well as bagels, muffins, and egg breakfast sandwiches. This has to be one of the most chill, low key spots in downtown. Great place to grab a beer and make a friend from out of town on lay over at the train station.

Better than standard pub food. Awesome Sauce was...awesome!

Great beer, food, and an awesome atmosphere inside. The people watching in that area is priceless as well!

Great beer, good food, nice staff Connor ask for more. Awsome hippy and non-hoppy beer. Dont know a place in Portland that brews a good beer for all tastes. Dont miss!!!

Poutine was yummy, so was the beer 😊

Ive been a long time customer of PINTS BREWING about 5 years, and have come to love my neighborhood spot that had great beers and affordable delicious food. Unfortunately all of that changed a few days ago when they abruptly decided to change their logo and nothing else, besides up all their prices and change all their best beers in one fell swoop. I tried to have a have an open mind but when I saw they were serving the same 9$ burger they always have except for nearly 3$ more and if you want cheese thats another 1$, I just couldnt! I am all for a brand update or a revamp of a menu but dont just change your name and put a hefty price tag on your existing menu and think thats going to fly. Even in your own statement you say Old Town has a rich history of the blue collar worker and PINTS wanted to pay homage to our roots. How exactly are you paying homage to your roots as you say by overcharging your patrons? Im sad to say I wont be coming back to this long loved establishment again.

Great atmosphere and service. Must try the nija ginja cider. So good!

Was late on a Monday, so there werent a lot of other customers, but the waitress was awesome and food was amazing

Great food, great beer and great service. A fine place to wait for a train.

Stopped at pints for lunch good food, excellent beer and the service was top notch.

Great and friendly service. Good beer, great setup.

Good coffee by day, good beer by night. Chill spot in Chinatown.

Great beer, relaxed atmosphere thats easy to have a conversation in and the beat fries.

Little small and the beer wasnt my favorite but Im more of a sour and funky beer kind of gal. Worth a try on a brew tour

The GM is an awesome guy! Good beer too!

Great beer and a nice setting. Staff is very friendly and everything on the menu is very tasty.

Great beers, cool industrial setting and pretty sweet classic tunes.

What a great place. Beer, food, and atmosphere is great

We dont really like The Pearl district but we love Pints

Real chill and mellow place good food friendly staff most importantly good beer.

Good food and beer. Hhhhhhhaaaayden was magical.

Was there because the other coffee shop was closed, it was was a good place to stop and get coffee
