Another incredible stop on Alberta - go early if you don't want to wait in the line - but if you are more of a brunch person, the line moves fast and is worth it.

Small drinking establishment created by the owners of Beast; exciting small plates and delicious cocktails. On the weekends, sometimes a live DJ. One of my top bars in Portland.

Yes, it is on the other side of the river, but it is worth the quick drive over. If you go to this entrance you can do a hike through the park that comes out into the West Hills and loop back down to where you started through one of Portland's older neighborhood. Hint: We have Forest Park maps and a hike book in the house to check out.

Neighborhoods
Alberta is a vibrant neighborhood in NE Portland that continues to grow and redefine itself. The neighborhood celebrates with an Arts Walk every month on the last Thursday – something not to be missed, but especially not in the summer months when Alberta becomes a pedestrian zone for the evening and art and vendors come out in the streets. This has been a tradition on Alberta since 1997.
