  Cool spot, They bring in a new brewy every month and allow mix and match 4 packs, it's like buy 3 get 1 free. Service was great, basement is always open, second floor depends on crowd.

  Function is so awesome!! Pretty cool they feature different breweries from around the states. The atmosphere is fantastic, with a large deck area upstairs to lounge or chill inside. Always great music kicking as well. I also have to mention … More how wonderful the service is, everyone is excellent. You can bring your own food in or they have some local options within a couple blocks.
  Definitely worth a stop!! Cheers 🍻

  Fantastic beer venue with monthly tap takeovers. Usually hard to get out of state breweries offering both draft & can options.
  Downstairs has a darker funky vibe, upstairs is bright and open.

  I always love going to Function - fun new beers every month (and even changing out throughout the month), great service, and always a good atmosphere (where else am I going to hear so much MF DOOM??). I make a point to go at least every … More month and I'm never disappointed. Strongly recommend

  Function is amazing and the beers are always changing so you get to try a bit of everything from around the U.S. Awesome bar space downstairs with a more chic upstairs and comfortable outdoor back balcony!

  Awesome spot to try rotating traveling breweries every month. Not too crowded so it’s easy to get a table in the front, upstairs or on the back patio

  Perfect place especially for beer fans! You’d never know they have a beautiful patio and back area - staff is very helpful given they have new beers every month. Highly recommend.

  This place is great place to grab a beer. Every month they have a brewery pop-up. Definitely worth a visit. Cheers 🍻

  Love this place and all the brewery takeovers that they host. But!! I really wish they’d update their patio furniture. Had my first spill today; and have witnessed more than a few glasses tip over during my visits. Thankfully I only had … More a few sips left, but it was still a major bummer as I wasted delicious beer AND it got my pants wet.
  EDIT: The patio got an upgrade!
  Any beer wasted from now on is nothing but my fault. ☺️

  Love the concept of having a constant rotation of breweries hosting pop ups for the month. Always great breweries coming through there. The space is awesome, and a lovely (and dog friendly) patio.

  Effectively a pop-up bar for Breweries of Excellence. Partnerships change monthly and the beers rotate fast. Best staff, never too busy, and beers to go if you want more! Street/indoor/back patio seating.

  Amazing bar! Discovered this great spot trying to find a place to hang out between afternoon Salt and Straw and dinner. They had 6 taps (apparently on rotation) and a unique high density hops beer. The staff was so nice and we loved it … More so much that we stayed and ordered a pizza from Wild child next door!

  My go to beer place in Portland. The selection of brewery changes every month so you can keep trying new beer. Bartenders are nice and knowledgeable about their beer. They only serve beer and no snacks, I bring some snack with me. They … More also do food service time to time which is usually good.

  I love this bar! They feature a new brewery ( from allover) monthly so things are always fresh and it's always a delight to visit with their talented staff. The decor and even glassware change for each new engagement so you feel like … More you're in a totally new establishment every month! I got to enjoy the patio yesterday and it was delightful! When you're in the area, check it out!

  My wife and I have stopped in here a few times now. They always have great beer and a great vibe. Always on my list of places to stop on 23rd!

  Chill vibes here only. Great rotating craft beer offerings here so check their website beforehand if you want to know what they're serving. They were serving Monkish beer when we visited, solid choice! Plenty of outdoor space too to … More the left side. Beer flight option available with 5 beers preselected.

  Friendly staff, great beer, and an ideal atmosphere for hanging with friends. Grab a board game and some Wild Child pizza from around the corner for the perfect evening!

  Cool new beer spot in Portland but not a lot of munchie or food options here. There was only 3 or 4 things on the food menu and the portions were small.

  Jenn Dolan, the management director of hospitality for Function is fantastic to work with. She is quick to respond, transparent with details about a booking event, accommodating, and goes above and beyond for a client. I wasn't able … More to make my event happen, due to a hotel booking issue and Jenn took the time to reach out personally to hotel owners she knew with my specifications. Maybe it's sad that I'm not used to this treatment, but I was pleasantly stunned with her kindness. Definitely a business people should work with!

  Small, but brilliantly, curated rotating selection of elite craft beer.
  Super friendly and well informed staff.
  Subdued atmosphere (great for getting a little work done. If you must!)
  Killer music selection!
  Small place, even for 23rd. … More Blink and you'll miss it. Don't miss it!

  Super cool intimate space that's perfect for small functions. They also put together brewery pop-up experiences that are worth keeping track of.

  Great concept to try out beers from breweries that you love, but can't find alot of. Bartender was friendly and helpful. The space was super chill.

  Great indoor/outdoor craft beer tap-takeover experience. If the BBQ guy is out back making sliders, definitely get some.

  We rented out the entire space for our 28 person wedding reception. Jenn was our venue coordinator and she went above and beyond. She helped me think of ideas for decorations within my budget, gave vendor suggestions and just made the day … More go so smoothly. Our reception (which is admittedly a large part of the wedding day) was the thing I needed to worry about the least because Jenn was so on the ball with everything. The bartenders from Function were also amazing and kept drinks flowing for our guests all night and were just all around fun to talk with.
  We rented tables and a tent so we could have dinner on the back porch at Function (thank goodness for the tent, because it's been such a rainy June this year). After dinner guests moved inside for our first dance and some toasts while Jenn and some additional staff quickly took down the tables and chairs from dinner. For the rest of the evening we had cornhole setup on the back porch with additional seating for people to hang out if they didn't want to be inside. We had so much fun and the entire reception was even better than we'd envisioned.

  Two visits in three days. Fantastic effort to make it feel like the brewery taproom. Beer tender was super friendly. Knows the beer did a great job helping everyone find a beer for them. Will visit next trip to the area and hope the next … More brewery that takes over has great beer.

  Such a wonderful hidden gem! Function hosts different local breweries each month for tap takeovers for all taps, they also have wine, and serve snacks like charcuterie boards when they have them in.
  Angie has been really awesome every … More time we come in and has even helped us with a small gathering we hosted. We love Angie!!
  The space has a few tables inside with a cozy modern vibe, and a large mostly covered patio out back.
  Bring in takeout from any of the dozens of delicious restaurants nearby and support local business and have local brews at Function. PET FRIENDLY TOO!
  Highly recommend!
