Integrity: the quality of being honest and having strong moral principles that you refuse to change.
Integrity Beer Hall is anything but moral. The space Integrity occupies is (or was) shared by two other business, one of which a local favorite coffee spot called Northfresh Coffee. The owner, Tristan, is hard working and great at what he does. He's also an 'INTEGRAL' part of the neighborhood and someone I happily supported because he supported the neighborhood.
Northfresh Coffee was a sublease tenant under the roof of so-called Integrity Beer Hall, who was the primary lease holder. The owner of the beer hall gave Northfresh Coffee sudden notice to vacate the space as it was being 'repurposed'. NF Coffee was given a week to move, with no advanced notice or reason why.
The beer hall is a hobby for the owner. It is not a primary source of income as the owner works in tech. Not someone I choose to support. You're free to do with your money what you like, but the owner of the ridiculously named Integrity Beer Hall does not deserve the support of the community.

The service is great, the people are friendly. The owner and his wife are super chill and just nice people who want to build something great for the neighborhood. We had such a great time. Apparently they have events there too, like Singo (song bingo?), and they had some artists come and do a tutorial kind of thing, and they have comedy nights too. It's just a great spot with delicious tasty beer and cocktails, and now a Pizzeria. Beer and pizza are best friends. This is an indisputable fact. I'm definitely coming back. We had such...
Read moreOn our last visit to Portland, we were introduced to Integrity Beer on S. Virginia Avenue. Wow! For food, entertainment like Comedy and Open Mike Night...just the friendliness of the owners and staff, I may have to move there permanently. We have bars and restaurants in Pittsburgh, PA but nothing I can recall that's as quaint and cool as Integrity.
The next time we visit our family in Portland, I am going to try to spend most of that time at Integrity Beer.
I wonder if they have rooms to...
