Portland pub and grill where homemade fare meets free pool, crafts on draught and a lively, welcoming neighborhood atmosphere.
Thanks for offering delicious food in a clean space in NE!

If you're looking for deelish food, great beer options and free pool in a friendly, clean pub setting this is a fantastic option. The service is very friendly and I love coming here for happy hour and for brunch. I was thrilled to introduce the place to friends of mine who have since become big fans of the spicy bacon bloody mary. Even though I'm not a big meat eater I do love the burgers here.
I don't understand all the parking comments made by others as there is plenty of space on 42nd to park. If the spots up front are taken walking the ten or so feet from the street to the front door is well worth it.
- Pros: Great food, Great beer, Great service
my "second living room"

My boyfriend and I have been going to NEPO since it first opened, and we have had a consistently positive experience. The food rocks, the beer selection is great, and everyone working there is friendly and passionate about what they do. I spent many a Blazers game there with a basket of smoky, delicious 25 cent wings and a few friends, and the introduction of Pub Quiz trivia night has kept me highly entertained (and questioning my intellect) for the last few Thursday nights. I can't say how relieved I am to finally have a neighborhood bar on 42nd where I feel comfortable and welcome.
- Pros: awesome menu, diverse beer selection, great service
- Cons: a little too easy for me to get to.....
ARE YOU KIDDING ME?

golly jee-i went into this pub last night and heard it was a fabulous place. i don't know if the owner has his friends rate this place but i couldn't believe how bad the service was. the owner was cheeky and acted as though it was a chore to serve me. excuse me sir-i am spending my ducketts in your establishment. the food was great but i will not be coming back! it looks as though the owner has been working way too much and is quite apparent that he needs to hire some help. it seems there is no excuse as there is a huge talent pool to chose from in bridge city. a hint for you-you never know who your serving and you should treat everyone with sincere service.
- Pros: GOOD BEER LIST
- Cons: HORRIBLE SERVICE
