    Reliably awesome. A new brewery (or two) every month. Great atmosphere. Terrific back patio (covered for the Portland rain). Friendly service. Fab swag. A Portland stable. Go.

    One of the best beer destinations on the west coast! This place is an insanely great concept. They host amazing breweries from across the US for a month at a time, allowing Portland to experience unique beers that would be super hard to access otherwise. Can’t say enough good things about Function!

    Function is so awesome!! Pretty cool they feature different breweries from around the states. The atmosphere is fantastic, with a large deck area upstairs to lounge or chill inside. Always great music kicking as well. I also have to mention how wonderful the service is, everyone is excellent. You can bring your own food in or they have some local options within a couple blocks. Definitely worth a stop!! Cheers

    Cool spot, They bring in a new brewy every month and allow mix and match 4 packs, it's like buy 3 get 1 free. Service was great, basement is always open, second floor depends on crowd.
