Loyal Legion is a craft beer institution in Southeast Portland, Oregon, distinguished by its singular all-Oregon tap policy. Located at 710 SE 6th Ave in the Central Eastside neighborhood, the bar maintains 99 draft handles — every one of them pouring beer brewed within the state of Oregon, making Loyal Legion one of the most comprehensive showcases of Oregon's craft brewing scene anywhere in existence. The space is large and open with high ceilings, communal long tables, and a bar long enough to accommodate significant crowds without the claustrophobic pressure of smaller establishments. The design aesthetic is industrial-rustic, fitting naturally within the character of its warehouse-district surroundings.
The beer selection spans the full breadth of Oregon craft brewing: flagships from major regional producers like Deschutes, Widmer Brothers, and Full Sail sit alongside experimental small-batch releases from newer Southeast Portland nano-breweries and farmhouse operations from the Willamette Valley. Sours, IPAs, lagers, stouts, dark ales, and session beers all rotate through the 99 handles, and the tap list changes frequently enough that regulars discover something new on nearly every visit. Ciders and non-alcoholic alternatives are available. A solid American pub food menu accompanies the tap list, making Loyal Legion viable as a dining destination as well as a beer bar.
The atmosphere is welcoming and unpretentious, attracting locals from the Central Eastside, craft beer tourists, and groups celebrating casual Fridays and special occasions alike. No cover charge applies. Hours run daily from 11:30 AM to midnight Sunday through Thursday and until 1 AM on Friday and Saturday.
