1. Fido’s Taphouse – is the first craft beer taproom with adoptable rescue dogs too! 

Fido’s Taphous was designed with dogs in mind, so of course it will be one of the best dog friendly bars in Portland. The bar bills itself as “the world’s first dog tap house,” and while that claim may be hard to fact-check, it is one of the best places to get a drink with your dog in the city.
