About this tour
A three-hour walking bar crawl through Portland led by a local enthusiast who knows the neighbourhood's brewery scene and stories. You'll visit several local hotspots across a district, meet the guide who actually lives here, and get a first drink included. This suits people who want to talk to someone who knows the city well rather than just hop between venues alone — expect conversation and neighbourhood perspective alongside craft beer.

What to expect
The tour begins with your group meeting the guide at a starting point in a Portland neighbourhood. From there you'll walk to several bars and breweries, stopping at each for a drink and a chance to hear the guide's stories about the area's culture and community. Your first drink is included; subsequent ones you'll purchase yourself. The guide will chat with you about the neighbourhood's character, local perspectives, and what makes the spots worth visiting.
You'll have time to interact with bar staff and other locals at each stop, getting a sense of how people in the area actually spend their evenings. The pace is steady walking between venues over the full three hours. The tour wraps up at the final bar stop, where you can stay longer if you choose or head out.

Good to know
This tour works best for people who like talking to locals and prefer a social experience over pure drinking, and who enjoy walking and conversing rather than rushing between spots. You need to be at least 21 years old and in moderate-to-good cardiovascular fitness — it's walking-based over three hours. The tour isn't suitable if you're pregnant or have cardiovascular concerns. Most drinks and all food beyond the first drink are your own cost. Public transport is nearby if you need it. You'll need a current valid passport on the day. The guide's personality and the group's mix will shape how "weird" or unusual the experience feels.
