Moreland Ale House

You used to be able to find hospitality everywhere in Sellwood. If you miss that feeling, stop on by and visit Ben at the Moreland Ale House. He is hospitable and genuine and generous. Need more? Food is great, awesome selection of bevvies, and they have plenty of screens for games, trivia nights, etc.

This place was cool. I was worried at first but then acclimated quickly. Everyone was nice, the table next to us we're part of a sports team and they were happy. The servers and bar folks were super cool and on top of their game. I was impressed, especially when things got busy. That was my first time there - for burger week.

All the food I've ever had here has been great, but they're a place that COMES PREPARED for things like Portland Burger Week and Portland Wing Week. The cocktails are always pretty solid, and the place always has a really nice vibe without being crazy busy. There's a few outside tables as well, although it'd be hard to put too many people out there.

We walked in and were greeted by the bar tender who was very friendly and helpful. He was great to chat with while waiting for drinks and food; very personable. The food was exceptional and relatively quick. The spicy chicken sandwich was so good, not overly spicy 🔥 The tater tots were done to perfection. Great beer selection on tap, everything from IPAs to Sour beers. We were able to sit and hang out and catch up over drinks without feeling like we needed to leave right away. I highly recommend stopping in!

Funky, authentically local bar with unexpectedly strong food. Ben the bartender was awesome. We were there Sunday for breakfast/brunch. My wife had the egg sandwich on an English muffin with melted cheddar and ham. I had the chicken enchiladas with eggs on top. NBA game was on. Will definitely go back to drink beer, watch sports and try their Cubano sandwich which I read was terrific.

I came here during Wing Week and got 6 of their habanero pineapple wings for $6. A not-so-hidden dive bar in the heart of Sellwood neighborhood of Portland, OR. It was Saturday during college football season and half the place was packed with UofO Duck fans, while the other half was of Bama fans while both teams played their respective games and yelling and cheering ensued. You go up to the bar to get your drinks and order then take the number to any seat and just wait. No frills, but I can see how the community would love coming here.

I visited for the first time, during Portland Mercury's Wing Week 2021, to try their Asian Orange Glazed Wings (pictured). They were excellent! I would say that they landed as my sixth favorite, overall, after having tried ALL 24 participants, this week, and were one of my favorite mild choices. They were very mild, sticky and sweet, with a refreshing, classic orange chicken flavor. The wings are pepper ginger marinated, lightly breaded in-house, and feature a house-made "Asian orange" glaze. Wonderful! If you are spicy-food-averse, or just looking to cool your taste buds down, to better pace your enjoyment of Wing Week, this is a great option. Service was friendly, professional and accommodating.
