Hinterland Bar & Food Carts — Restaurant in Portland

Wow. I understand being a bartender can be annoying, but I've never met a bartender that was more visually annoyed. It is 1:04pm on 4/13/24 and the person in front of me ordered an old fashioned. She proceeded to make it and asked me what I would like. I asked for a mojito. She said " ok, just a minute" in a rude tone.. But that's fine, I obviously knew it would be a minute because she was in the middle of making the old fashioned. So, I get the mojito and ordered my husband a beer. I took a taste of the mojito and it was flatter than still water and no mint flavor. I said " Can I just switch this for a beer, I think the sparkling water is flat." She said " I'll re-make it" I said " no, it's ok." She said " NO, I'll remake it." So I said ok... After the second re-do it tasted exactly the same. I brought it back to her and said " I know you hate me, but it's still very flat, can I switch it for a beer?" She said "Sure" And if looks could kill I'd be dead. So I paid for a $14+ mojito and switched it for an $8 beer... Just be aware that the bartenders are not nice AT ALL. BUT, the Mexican food cart...

This neighborhood "food cart pod" sets the new standard for excellence in the Portland food cart scene.

Don't let the size fool you.

Designed from the ground up, they thought of everything. The beautiful full service bar welcomes guests with an outdoor order window perched under a large covered and heated patio. There's also bar service on the inside, which is furnished with chairs and tables in an inviting, skylit dining area. Through the hall, beyond the set of single occupancy bathrooms, you'll find another large, covered and heated patio with TV for entertainment and eating and drinking comfortably in all weather.

Swing by, grab a quick bite from one of the amazing food joints, then open a tab at the bar and enjoy tasty, local and handmade beverages in the AC or on the patio while you eat.

Free wifi and paperless...

Absolutely love this spot!

There is a plethora of food carts to pick from with a wide range of food. There's Thai, Indian, BBQ, Pizza, American! All of them are great, I definitely play favorites with Matt's BBQ, but they are all good.

However! The best part of this space is Hinterland, the actual bar. They have a HUGE selection of liquor, whiskey, amaro, they have a 10 tap rotating beer list that never disappoints, not to mention some of, if not, the best bartenders in Portland!

I come every Sunday for trivia...
