The downtown area requires no fare (fareless square). NOTE: The Portland Streetcar costs $1.75 for a full day pass, and can be used for 2 hours on the bus and light rail. Bus and light rail fares are honored on the streetcar the same as they would be on the bus and light rail.

In addition to being called Beervana for the sheer number of breweries in the region, Portland also hosts a number of ecletic coffee shops ranging from strong local micro-roasting operations to places that serve chain coffee but have great atmosphere.
(beer & wine available all days until store closing, liquor available at stores like Portland Center Liquor)
Generally, last call is at 2am. Smoking is not permitted at most restaurants, but is permitted in many breweries and taverns.
