My boyfriend and I come here regularly as its convenient for us and we enjoy the casual atmosphere and ever-changing beer (and a few cider and kombucha) options. We also love to swing by for a crowler (canned growler) or two of a draft to go. Sue and her sister are very friendly and the staff in general have always been pleasant. We have been a little sad to see some of the more established staff leave (those who were here around fall 2016-early 2017) and the service and skill of the newer folks has been off a bit, though we understand that theyre still learning. There are some very minor changes that could make it a little more comfortable to hang out here - the indoor tables can be unstable. Noise dampeners would be helpful as when it gets busy there is a lot of reverberating noise which can make it hard to have a conversation. Overall, a definite must-stop if you want to pick from a large variety of craft beers on tap.

Good beer selection which extends to ciders, wines, and kombuchas as well. Decent snacks, but dont expect anything spectacular food wise. They recently got canning machines for crowlers, but I havent had a chance to get anything in one yet. Im mostly curious if theyll fill them with non-beer items like the sodas they have. Only really complaint about this place is the inside is basically an echo chamber, just like every bar these days. Its purely personal taste, but I find the amount of noise amplification in these places to be way too high. Its not a great building for trying to deaden the sound more than they already have. Still its enough to make my review 4 instead of 5 stars just because inside can be deafeningly loud.

I was pretty impressed by this place. I walked here from my hotel near the waterfront. The beer selection was pretty cool, mostly local breweries that didnt have big names. The guys working there were very generous with their time and free samples. I ended up buying 3 crowlers and a pint to enjoy, and they helped me find the perfect beers. The prices were great, most averaged $9 for a 32oz crowler. Awesome place to have a beer or get it to go

Great beer! However if you get more than 10 people in the place it sounds like a stadium of 1000s! I guess thats what you get when you design a place to be "industrially hip" with all concrete rather than a functional bar to drink some beer. Get a seat outside and enjoy!

Amazing tap list with new beers coming in every other day. They have a limited patio area that is dog friendly as well as their own small food menu. However the food does not come from a full kitchen and youre not allowed to bring outside food.

What happens when you mix McDonalds and a tap room? Come and find out just how little soul a place can have. Make sure to ask for a sample! Theyll fill a 1oz glass almost a quarter full! No amount of amazing craft brews can save this place.

Always happy with the selection and options for beer. They always have a few kinds of nearly every style. Plenty of sour beers, my favorite style. You can taste everything before you buy. Snacks are fine too, but nothing special.

Cool brewpub with plenty of beer offerings to drink on premise or to take to go. They offer both 32 and 64oz growlers, as well as 32oz cans to go. Havent checked out the food options, but looked fairly good.

I go here frequently with friends and think they have an excellent selection. The food is pretty tasty as well!! Also the staff is always helpful, friendly, and prompt.

This place is the best bar in Portland. The owner Sue makes customer service her top priority. All employees are super friendly and have extensive knowledge of beer.

Great tap list but the atmosphere is that of a school cafeteria. I love the idea for this part of town but after a couple years it still needs lots of work.

Everyone is always so nice here! TONS of beer, some rare finds, and affordable too. The food is alright, but youre really coming for the beer, right?!

Service is superb and the beers are delicious! We love watching sports at the Growlers Guys on South Waterfront. Come join us for fun!

Great selection of beer, open late and very friendly staff. Theyre packed most evenings, so plan on having to wait in line for a bit

Amazing selection and helpful staff. Food is the only thing reason for not giving 5 stars.
