Cool spot, got a vintage feel to the place. Beer selection is good but they didn’t have the one beer I wanted from the menu unfortunately. Didn’t try the food but it looked good. Bathroom is crazy tiny.

I started with the cease and desist tequila cocktail, it was a well balanced and delicious. We had the mussels, cob salad and the French dip. The mussels were huge and the sauce was incredible. The bacon on the cob salad was amazing and the hand cut fries are a must have. Our bartender, Tonya, was friendly, efficient and made beautiful cocktails.

As you can see we ordered a little bit of everything. I haven’t been to this location since before into transformation into Henry’s Public House so I was excited to give it a shot. The Brussels sprouts are to die for!! I wish I ordered three more really.. and the pub burger was just the same 100/10! Our drinks were great and our server was very wonderful and overall we had a great time with some great bites!

Another great edition from the Miranda Restaurant Group. Henry's is not your typical pub, it's food is elevated, the beer list is unique, and the mixed drinks are next level! We popped in for a late lunch during a holiday weekend and grabbed the last two seats at the bar. We both ordered burgers and truly enjoyed the combination of flavors. The burger was thick and juicy with the right amount of char, the sesame seed bun was soft, and the chimichurri aioli complimented the rest of the toppings, including cheese, bacon, and fried onions. The burger was served with salad greens, and the light dressing balanced the grease of the burger. You honestly don't need to order an additional side of fries. With so many great breweries in Portland, we loved that the draft list included other out of state favorites such as Foam and Russian River! We'll be back to explore more of the menu.

Chloe was at the door and was very accommodating, sat us in a great seat. A young man came out and asked us what we wanted to drink while we waited. Victoria works in the kitchen and advised me on some items- Brussels, steak and pork chops- all amazing - Hannah was our server - she took great care of us! Very impressed with what they’ve done with the place.

We were excited to come here as we used to love Bull Feeny's! We loved what they did with the place. It felt pub style but also upscale! The cocktail was so good my husband decided to order one too! The food & service were great and we loved the atmosphere! We will definitely be coming back again! 💛

Very cool looking bar. Cocktails are pretty good, beer is not bad. The wait staff I encountered were great but the bartenders not so much. The downstairs seems to be the more relaxed portion and the upstairs is a bit more focused on the drinking and events. I found the downstairs to be a lot more thought out and well furnished. Overall I’m excited to see how this place does.

Found this place by accident. Had a girls night out and was not disappointed. The downstairs was a step through time with old world fixtures. A great array of drinks. We arrived too late for food so hopefully next time. I had the Irish coffee and Pain Killer. They were flavorful. Upstairs they had a DJ that played a good mix. Towards the end of the night had a bartender surprise me with a Harrison Special. All staff was great and had a lot of fun. Thanks!

New to Portland. Walked around for an hour checking menus on doors, chose this spot, very satisfied. Delicious sauces, creative toppings, very well prepared food. Had the shishito peppers, beet salad, mushroom toast and blackened fish sandwich, all very good. Hanna was a great server, really took care of us. Not expensive, great feel. Going back for the live jazz later.

Excellent food and cocktails! Not your average American food restaurant. Small menu, but everything we ate was incredible! The inside of the restaurant was intimate and well decorated. Close to great bars and activities.Favorite items that we ordered were the snap pea cocktail, devils on horseback, and beet carpaccio.I’d highly suggest visiting here while in Portland!
