Burgers were decent for $6 and you could get a no alcoholic drink with the deal. Would recommend the angus beef burger over the pulled pork. Maybe not much of a fan of the bread buns but it’s a minor thing. Loved the hand cut fries with aioli and paprika. Wasn’t a fan of the buttermilk chicken because it was dry and equivalent to a frozen chicken schnitzel. Nevertheless nice pub setting, lively, full of young people and have open mic nights and bands :)
Love their outdoor area out back. The food is great - reasonably priced and generously portioned. Very chill and family friendly in the day. Will certainly be back to see what it is like at night!
Solid 6 dollar burger everyday between 4pm-7pm! Saw the post at Lazy Susan and gave it a try. The burger is good! I like their jalapeños poppers too!
Now the food has never disappointed me! Great menu and so reasonable. The only bad thing was waiting 50 mins for my streak and my friends pizza and wedges. The place was busy but we had ordered food before everything picked up. Happy that my meal was still great and yummy!!
I’ll be back...just wished it didn’t take that long...this also wasn’t the first time I had waited...
Thanks though :)
This is the place to go for live music in Kingsland. Small, low key bar with a relaxed vibe. They have a good varied menu much better than the standard pub food. I’ve had the risotto balls here which were great.
Came here for the $6 burgers time. Bit of a crowd so probably led to a bit of a wait.
The burgers were great though. Generous for $6, and tasted fresh and yummy. There was lots of salad in our burgers which was great, and the flavour came out well.
We loved the bread - felt soft and complemented the ingredients inside.
Portland is one of my favourite bars to visit regularly! I have Coeliac Disease and staff are always so helpful with any questions I have but I always go for the Nachos (without beef) and a margarita or glass of wine! Absolute bliss! If the margarita isn't quite right they are more than happy to impress and ensure you enjoy your drink, excellent customer service! I've brought a lot of friends along to try this bar and they all are pleasantly surprised at the value, quality of the food, atmosphere, indoor and outdoor seating options, great tunes and most importantly the lovely and helpful staff! Always gonna be my number one 😊
$6 burgers (4pm-7pm) are awesome - great value for money and really tasty and gluten/dairy free available if you ask. Great place to sit and people watch with a glass of mulled wine.
We went for lunch & Ordered pizza & fries. Pizza was average. Cheese, mushroom, olives toppings. Cool place & vibe. It’s usually very busy come night time but we left before. Would go back to catch the live music.
A really nice restaurant with reasonable price & friendly service.
We got pizza, burger and taco, they all taste real good. Environment is nice, sometimes they have live music.
Service: 4.5/5
Food:5/5
Would definitely visit again!
Grabbed a quick bite, good vibe and energy, if you want a decent burger then come here, they have regular burgers deals on too. About $50 for some burgers, fries and a couple for drinks
PROS
+Asahi and Tiger on tap
+ Excellent Burgers
+Good range of cocktails
+Even extra range of Gin Cocktails
CONS
-Maybe due to it being busy, but wait staff were not too attentive on the tables: after mains and drinks had been finished no staff follow up to see if we wanted more drinks or dessert (which we did)
Excellent bottomless brunch or chill drinks. Great value, excellent service. Food is yum and the drinks are refilled quickly.
Wonderful night, we had gone to watch a young niece playing her debut released and way out of our comfort level and late, I asked for a coffee but the machine was closed, 5 minutes later I was presented with a beautiful perfect flat white. Thank you Portland staff above and beyond. You were incredible on a hugely busy evening.
Had a fantastic time at the open mic night! Real good vibes, performances and crowd! Highly recommended! I didn't eat this time but the menu looked great too
The $8 burgers (+ drink) are still a solid deal. Happy with my chicken one. Service is fine. Would love a working lock in the women's bathroom. All in all a good time.
I booked for Valentines day, first time to dine here and I can tell you..food is amazing, fresh and delicious! Great hospitality and service. I recommend booking a table as the resto is small and it gets full quickly.
Love the Portland, my friends and I go all the time! The staff is always lovely and friendly, drinks are fairly priced and live music always brings the best vibes! :)
Used to be at the open mic here every week! Great bunch of characters, staff were always awesome and the atmosphere here REALLY goes!! I would really recommend it if I ever got the chance :):)
Classic pub with good food and great live music. Excellent garden bar and the best thing about The Portland is the fantastic service. The bar staff are genuine, fast and friendly. Great to see a team working so well together, highly recommend. 👏
Great place! Very funky, has a indoor seated area for both non smoking and smoking with an addition of outside seating for summer. You will be nice and warm in winter as they have a heating system for the smoking areas.
If the bands to loud down stairs and you want to escape, there's a quaint upstairs area where you can still chill and chat with friends.
Food came out extremely fast was about a 5min wait time for burgers and fries. They offer table services for both drinks and food. Staff were friendly and warm.
Overall recommend it for after work drinks or a quick bite and drink at the end of the day.
