This place is great. Huge warehouse type open-space with nice beerhall feel. There are some side rooms and smaller tables available as well. Counter service was really good early Saturday afternoon, guy with the beard on early shift was really friendly and knowledgeable. Didn’t try the food at this location. The beer here was excellent, what I have come to expect from LL. They offered at least 4 different (house) IPAs and were all very good, I highly recommend the Triple Threat IPA. Highly recommend this place to anyone.

Large venue. Understaffed in mid-afternoon, but staff conversed about the beers in between tasks. Good advice. Good selection.

A short walk north of the Portland “Street Car” the beer hall is a big converted warehouse with small kitchen and good selection of had made beers on tap. The atmosphere is cool and has kind of a hipster vibe to it. Big long tables in a big room make for a German style beer hall theme. They are family and dog friendly as well. The beers I have tried are all solid. I did not try the food but it looks like good pub fare. A good place to check out had have a good beer

Only a few blocks walk from the Portland Streetcar, it seems like it’s out in the middle of nothing interesting, just some condos and some industiral/business areas nearby, but it’s really not too far from 23rd. Inside it’s obviously Lucky Lab, with a very large open room, long picnic tables and an open kitchen. I only had a couple of short pints while visiting, and it was completely dead inside so I didn’t get a good sense of the people. Pretty nice place, I’ll hit it again when I’m walking around the Pearl and 23rd.

This was a neat place and the look was awesome. This was obviously going from the same style they have in their other places. The beers where good, food awesome and sitting outside with some friends was awesome. This was a very nice place Iwill recommend this to others for a brewery tour of Portland.

I was told that this is the new Lucky Lab. It did smell of fresh piant. Gotta check out the lamps on the walls!! Very large, high cellings. You know, like a warehouse. Nice little condos just built and for sale across the street. Heavy selection. Nice sandwich menu. I got the knuckle sandwich. We sat out side around the back. Enjoyed a couple of rounds.

This is in a somewhat strange area of town that I would not particularly expect. It’s sort of in an industrial-type area, with neo-condos being build adjacent. This is a very large, cavernous place, that seems as though it was some old warehouse or garage. It has 2 large garage doors with some of the old machinery still attached. The walls are wooded midway with yellowish paintjob (which is incomplete in the bathroom hallway). There are tons of mish-mashed unmatching tables and chairs and really has a beer-hall like ambiance. There was a really cool, large painting on the wall, which captivated me for some reason. The bathroom was really clean and neat. The reading material above the urinals was "Weekly World New", which I got a huge kick out of. I was here on a Saturday night (9-10pm ish)and there weren’t many people here at all--maybe a dozen. They had about 12-15 beers on the board, with 3 of them being marked as not being in stock. The other beers I had were remarkably balanced and extremely enjoyable. I did not happen to have any of the food. The service was good--the bartender (lauren) was handing me tasting samples without me even asking. I’d definitely go here again.

Brand new Lucky Lab pub and brewery. They managed to recreate the feel of the first LL very well. This place is huge, maybe twice the size of the original. A few more taps than the original, but I forgot to count. Lots of room to spread out and read, talk, drink and hang out. Service is mediocre at this point, but then again aren’t most new places. Honestly, I get the feeling they might be trying to pick up the clientel that got shafted when the Bridgeport went fancy. Food is, for the most part, like the original: bento, salads, sandwiches with the additon of "pizza sandwiches". We’ll check it out again and see how it ages.
