Craft Beer and City Walking Tour of Portland West Side

Former hub for psychedelic culture, and home to one of the only three remaining floating dancefloors in the US.

Al's Den is underground, beneath a tiny flatiron building that opened in 1900 as a tire store, in what, for a period of time, was a bathhouse. It is a place where people enjoy drink, food, and music under the sidewalk, which still has the 1900-era glass prisms that allow light to pass through. It is one of McMenamins' 55 establishments across Oregon and Washington, many of which are located in structures that are on the National Register of Historic Places. McMenamins is Oregon's oldest and largest microbrew, providing the full range of beers, but as the first brewery in the US to legally use fruit in the brewing of ales post-prohibition, they are most known for their Ruby, which could be thought of as a raspberry shandy. Here, in The West End, across the street from the now-defunct Blitz-Weinhard Brewery, guests can taste McMenamins' beer in an underground atmosphere of 1900 whimsical, with a creepy psychedelic twist, and an element of steampunk.
