Weird Portland Pub Tour
Overview
This tour is a must-do for anyone who likes beer and is interested in Portland’s artistic flair. Skip those boring tours about the Founding Fathers; we tell stories of Bigfoot sightings, exploding whales, a bagpipe-playing unicyclist, wacky themed bike rides, hipsters, the world’s smallest park, aliens, and more!
The tour takes place in the vibrant Hawthorne/Division neighborhoods. Known for its funky hangouts, cool eateries, and one-of-a-kind pubs. This area is a must-visit. We stop at the neighborhood’s most loved murals and tell the stories behind them.
Your tour guide, Otniel, is also one-of-a-kind. With years of experience and a passion for Portland’s local legends and quirky culture, Otniel is simply the best guide in the business.
Experience the eccentricity of Portland, Oregon, and visit its quirkiest neighborhoods on this walking pub tour. You won’t regret it!
