Fantastic small urban brewery with roll up garage door and outdoor seating in summer. The menu is delicious...includes "bacon for the table" for non-vegan visitors. You won't feel guilty for splurging, because amazingly, they give 100% of net proceeds to local charities!

Sadly as busy parents we've only been to see a show once, but it's a great venue. I sat in the balcony (7 months pregnant) and the view was great. Good sound, happening, but intimate.

Neighborhoods
Exceptionally "livable." Grant Park feels like a quintessential Portland neighborhood. Quiet, affluent without being hoity-toity, neighborly. Life seems to revolve around the park and newly renovated high school. Nearby everything NE Portland has to offer, easy access to SE and downtown.

Located a 5-10 minute drive to north, Alberta has tons of restaurants and shops. The neighborhood had become a ghetto, when artists moved in, renovated homes and began a monthly art night. If you're in town on the Last Thursday, you definitely need to check out the creative scene for people watching alone.
