Arbor Lodge is the name of the neighborhood that starts just north of us. And there is an Arbor Lodge Park and this is the coffee shop by the same name. Try the cold brewed coffee... just not too late in the day!

You will find McMenamins all over the Pacific Northwest have started here in NW Portland - and they all have very eclectic stories behind their restaurants - historic theaters, old elementary schools, the poor farm and this one was a funeral home converted into spaces for family and community to gather. They are quintessential Portland!

Love this place! This is a little farther away - they have only been open 3 years but the owner is one of Oregon's Craft Brewing Industry's founding fathers. Great beer, great space, great food and has space for both adults to enjoy their evening with or without kids in tow.

Everything Else

Any of the categories would fit! Food (there is a coffee shop), Arts and Culture, Entertainment and technically shopping! Powells Books is a Portland Institution and you could spend ALL day here! We never get tired of visiting - and they are open to 11 pm - which is late for a book store!
