Beulahland

Is this a dive bar? Is it an eatery? Whatever Beulahland wants to call itself, I'm down. This was just steps away from our Airbnb and boy were we glad we stumbled upon this gem. I wish this place existed in my neighborhood.

This place is dark, fun, and a great place to hang out with friends. Two bartenders handling the situation for the entire place and they did it well. Service was great, drinks were cheap and well poured, and the company fantastic.

This is a local place that takes great care of their clientele. You will not be disappointed when you step up to the bar and order your choice of libations. They will be served with expertise and efficiency.

Anyone that aggressively yells at you & follows you during a FULL HOUSE on the weekend is absolutely insane, and this supposed owner Jimmi, is full blown nuts. Health Inspector needs to shut this dirty place down

First, the name. I was always intrigued by the name. What's "Beulahland"? Well, my friends, Beulah is a biblical reference to the land of the Israelites--a land to which they will return, and which is described as an earthly paradise. So Beulahland is heaven on earth, get it? That is, if heaven is a cozy dive-bar.

I've lived in walking distance to this place for going on 20 years now, so I always think of Beulahland as one of those last vestiges of "Old Portland". That said, it's not exactly "old-old". I think it was opened in 1997. Still, 1997 Portland was a much different place. Much grungier, but also more working class that PMC. This stretch of 28th Avenue was a lot sketchier, with Beaulahland and Hungry Tiger (bad Chinese food and stiff cocktails, R.I.P.) and the Lauralhurst Theatre, and Holman's, and also a good number of boarded up store fronts. It's long since gentrified, with recent installments of the now ubiquitous five story spanking new apartment buildings and more upscale establishments. Beulahland is an anchor of old 28th, and I love it for that.

This place has a punk rock vibe to me, but it's not punk rock bar. It's more like (as many people claim) a divey Cheers. A friendly neighborhood bar. It's got a huge wrap around bar that sort of divides the place into 3 segments. The front has a few windowfront seats, and the rest is divided left and right. On the left you have TV, pinball, and cozy seats. On the right you have this odd wood panelled seating area reminiscent of the animatronic Country Bear Jamboree at Disneyland.

Beauland has breakfast and brunch daily, and lunch and dinner. The food is decent pub style, but by no means fancy. Good burgers and fries. Full bar, with well made cocktails and attentive bartenders. Decent taps. There is street side outdoor seating a la Covid-19. It's just a super chill place to hang out with friends and have a drink and a bite.

I'm only giving this one star because Yelp hasn't given us the platform for negative stars yet. We go into this bar with a friend who has his dog and begin to order a drink. Mind you this is his neighborhood bar that he's been at numerous times with his dog. Before we know it, we hear incoherent screaming coming from the back of the bar. The apparent owner, regular suit and tie type with a hard on for authority, proceeded to scream to get the dog out of his bar, that he was a mongrel and he would crush his skull. In the middle of a full bar on a Saturday night. Not even joking. We leave immediately after processing our bewilderment and being told that we weren't "punk enough" anyways. Says the guy in a three piece suit. He followed us outside and continued to scream when we told him to stay away from us. Apparently this douche lord forgot it was the 21st century, so I have a really charming video of the whole interaction. This was hands down the most insane response from an "owner" I've ever seen and I hope to god one day this bar has a change of management. Absolutely despicable and disgusting behavior and this bar should be embarrassed. His name is Jimmi by the way.

Excellent service and food. Best place to grab a quick bite and drink in Portland.  Come watch a blazer game here! Great vibes and they play the games on all screens. They even open up on Mondays for the game sometimes.

We all wish for the everything bar: good and creative drink, great food, vibe, service, and maybe parking. They scored on all the aforementioned, with the food just okay.
The Iced Spanish Coffee hit the spot on a hot day.

Kudos to Beulahland for creating a vibrant World Cup viewing venue. They satisfy various needs.

I ordered the basic brekky. It comes with two eggs any style, potatoes, and toast for $9.00!
They give you the option to add bacon, pork sausage or chicken apple sausage for an extra $2.00!

Even though it was a simple meal the bacon was burnt and the toast tasted like it was a day old. Boo :(

This is a really cool comfortable bar. The music is not too loud and service is excellent. They have three sections as you walk in. The middle section is small and has a couple of tables. The right section has a big screen TV. The left section has few small tables and the actual bar area. There is also a small outdoor seating area by the sidewalk. Their beer selection could be improved though, and if I remember correctly, they have mixed drinks. The food is excellent here, and they have a few very well-thought-out vegan items. There is only one bathroom, and it seems that it's always occupied. If you use the bathroom, make sure the lock latches if you don't want someone walking in on you :-)

Always a chill place to grab drinks with friends. It's a spacious place that has some unique decorations,  but seems to fit right in the neighborhood.  The drinks are not spendy and the food is decent.

Even the bar bat  is ready for a party!  Great eclectic joint. The gluten free waffle will make reconsider gluten free.  Coffee was so satisfying. Dutch Bros can jump off!

Sweet waitress was timely and ready for a bit of conversation.

Real people eat here...not tourist. Small menu makes choosing a breeze. Super full. Super satisfied
