Portland Cider House

By Matthew Korfhage

Portland Cider House is the cider bar to rule them all. The cedar room is so tarted up with merchandise and kitsch it looks like a Portlandified Wall Drug. But with its computerized keg system, fast-rotating 24 taps, and helpful staff offering recommendations all across the panoply of ciders (including a few English ones and a house-made high-alcohol scrumpy), Portland Cider Co.'s Hawthorne taproom has essentially made itself the Bailey's Taproom of cider bars. There's always something new to try, and a self-selected taster of five will set you back a mere $7. Perfect. The Southeast Bushwhacker still has the best cider bottle selection in the city, but if you want to hang, you'll be here on Hawthorne.

HAPPY HOUR: 3-6 pm and 9 pm-close daily. $1 off all cider pints.

3638 SE Hawthorne Blvd., 503-206-6283, portlandcider.com/portland-cider-house. 11 am-10 pm Sunday-Thursday, 11 am-midnight Friday-Saturday.
