Good Happy Hour in Beaverton? YES WAY!!

by HHLover

My girlfriend and I went to Stockpot Broiler last week after a friend of ours who works there finally got us off the beaten path to go visit her. We live almost in St. Johns, so it's not easy to get us on to Portland's "suburban side." Wow, we were missing out. Their HH menu is packed with good eats, probably about 10-15 choices, and well drinks less than $3?! On a golf course?! They've got a full bar, I think 5 or 6 beers on draft, and pretty damn good food. We ordered 4 HH plates, my lady had 2 cocktails and I had 2 drafts, and got out of there for less than $25. I know you can get $1 PBR anywhere in Portland, but for the view we had from our table (18th hole) and the overall feel of the place, I'm sold on this HH. In terms of it being far away, if you know how to navigate a freeway it really isn't that far from anything. 217 gets you there, and 5/405 to 26W coming from N Portland is a sure way. So our friend had just gotten off shift and wasn't our server, but the girl we had was super cool and totally attentive, and the other girls looked like they were happy to be there, sometimes an anomaly in Portland's service industry. It was pretty jammin when we were in there actually. The day HH is from 4-6, and they also do it from 9-close! I consider myself a HH enthusiast, and this one is totally worth the drive for what a great time we had. I think this may be one of Beaverton's best kept HH secrets from the suburb-shy Portlandites...shouldn't be though! Good times! Happy HH everyone!!

• Pros: cheap drinks/food, friendly staff
• Cons: why aren't you on your way here?!?!?!

The Stockpot is great!

My girlfriend and I have been here 3 or 4 times and we have had a great time each trip. The staff is friendly, and the scenery at Red Tail Golf course is beautiful. The food is also outstanding; everything I have ordered has been excellent. Try the lobster bisque!

• Pros: Service, food, atmosphere
• Cons: none

Average for the area

by missS

This used to be a great place (considering location) to have a nice, dressed up meal, posh service and great wine. The only thing that remains the same is the location.

Most of the patrons here have been eating here since the 1980's or 1990s and probably have fond memories of how they used to be: great. But not so much anymore.

It's not terrible, but for the price...it's just not worth it. Steaks are huge, but not tender. Food it tasty, but nothing out of this world or new/innovative.

• Pros: I've had worse
• Cons: I've had a lot lot better
