Horse Brass Pub is a British-style pub on Belmont Street[5] in southeast Portland's Sunnyside neighborhood. The pub has dark wood, exposed beams,[6] and darts.[7] It has approximately 50 beers on tap and is "especially popular with the late-night crowd".[8][9] The menu has British cuisine[10] such as bangers and mash,[11] fish and chips,[7] meat pies, sausage rolls, and Scotch eggs.[12][13]
History
Horse Brass Pub was established in 1976.[14] The bar was owned by Don Younger.[15][16][17][18]
Prior to Oregon's ban on indoor smoking, the pub was known for having a smoky atmosphere.[19][20]
Reception
Thrillist says Horse Brass Pub "has never not been a great place to knock back a few. It’s the best British pub outside of Britain, right down to the halibut fish and chips".[14] The bar has been described as "venerable"[21] and "a pre-eminent beer destination in a city full of brewpubs and beer bars".[22] It has also been called "a beer-supping shrine run by the godfather of Portland's beer scene".[23]
Melissa Stranger included Horse Brass Pub in Business Insider's 2015 list of the "best Irish pubs in 19 big cities around the US".[24] David Greenwald included the pub in The Oregonian's 2017 list of 38 "kid-friendly" beer establishments in Portland.[25] Men's Journal included Horse Brass Pub in a 2017 overview of "America's Founding Craft Beer Bars", or "beer bars that set the pace for the rest of the country".[26] In 2022, Julia Silverman of Portland Monthly said Horse Brass Pub was "perhaps the most authentic of Portland’s British pubs".[27]
In 2017, Willamette Week's Ezra Johnson-Greenough said "Portland's status as a beer mecca can be traced back to a grungy, smoky, dimly lit neighborhood British pub".[28] Reporting on the bar's early history, in 2018 the newspaper's Parker Hall said Horse Brass Pub "would eventually become one of the most iconic beer bars in the United States".[29] The bar placed second in the Best Beer Selection on Tap category of Willamette Week's annual "Best of Portland" readers' poll in 2020.[30]
