We truly enjoyed the Weird Portland Pub Tour. Otneil is such a cool and informative guide. We learned so much about Portland while walking through these cool streets, great pubs, food cart pods, etc. Highly recommend this tour. So much fun!

This was such a fun tour!...

This was such a fun tour! We are visiting from out of town and this was such a cool way to learn about the city of Portland-both the weird and the usual. Otneil did an awesome job of answering our questions and made it a great interactive experience. I would definitely recommend this tour!

More tour not so much beer

Cheryl_W, Jul 2025
Be careful of booking a tour on a holiday. Two of the places we were supposed to go to were closed. Otneil, the tour guide, did an excellent job at pivoting and made changes so we still enjoyed ourselves. Lots of fun, weird facts with some walking and some beer.

Fun Time

Rocky start because it was the Fourth. Our guide quickly adapted and we enjoyed learning all about the weird Portland facts. Loved our time at McMenamins and walking through Ladds Addition.

Fun Walking Tour

What makes Portland weird and fun at the same time? Take this tour and you will find out. Even though we are long time Portland restaurants, this walking tour helped us learn new interesting facts. You can also purchase beer and food at the three breweries. We really enjoyed it!

Best birthday weekend!

We had so much fun and learned so many weird things about Portland and the area!! Otniel was a great tour guide - it was an excellent way to start our Portland experience

Fun walking tour

Dan_T, May 2024
Had a great tour. Otniel made it a fun trip, walking around and sharing facts, info, and stories about Portland. The beer stops were perfect, with great food and drink.

Interesting tour of Portland

Joni_B, Feb 2024
The tour guides interesting stories about Portland and the neighborhoods on the east side of the river.

The bars weren't that weird but a well run tour and good value

mdo003yahoocom, Sep 2023
The bars were quirky but I expected a little more out of the ordinary since Portland claims weird to be its thing. Overall a well run tour though, had lively discussions about ufos and bigfoot and portland history. And you get a free flight which is probably $10-15 so a very cheap tour considering that. If you truly want a weird bar theatric bar check out Raven's manor on your own later.

Great tour
