Coffee

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.

  • Coffee Time - A Portland institution reveled by local chess players and students. Open late.
  • World Cup Coffee - A great place for business discussions.
  • Anna Bananna's - Know to attract the local activist/hippy culture. That's not cigarette smoke you smell in the basement.

Dining

  • Portland State University Cafeteria
  • Higgens - Most excellent, eating at their bar is cheaper than the dining room.

Grocery

(beer & wine available all days until store closing, liquor available at stores like Portland Center Liquor)

Bars

Generally, last call is at 2am. Smoking is not permitted at most restaurants, but is permitted in many breweries and taverns.
