The Pocket Pub is a fantastic, small, comfy, little restaurant and bar. The food is amazing. They use fresh, locally sourced ingredients. Seasonal salads, seasonal toppings on their pizzas, which are the best around. A nice selection of food on the menu, from kids to vegetarians and meat lovers. Comfortable seating, spacious with a covered outdoor patio. A good beer selection and a fully stocked bar and bar seating. The wait staff were friendly, and the food came out quickly, even being quite busy. This place is great and we will be back. Cheers.

Great place for cocktails. We tried about 6 of them and they were delicious. The appetizers were really good, especially the Garlic Knots and the Jalapeño Poppers. The Pizzas were a bit disappointing, although the bread was great and cooked to perfection, the sauce lacked flavor and ended up tasting pretty bland. The chocolate Panna Cotta was delicious and definitely one of the highlights of the night. Overall a really cute place for cocktails, a really nice vibe with an amazing staff and great service.

Very cute little bar with outside seating. Super friendly staff, modern interior with great food and drinks. They have local beers on tap usually one IPA at least. Their pizza dough is unique and good tasting. Their garlic knots actually have a garlic in each of them but rate amazing for those who are afraid of this. The prosciutto pizza is very flavorful. They also have nightly specials. They are kid friendly as well. We tried their east side drink which has rum and give spice honey it was great.

Yes, just go. Pizza was delicious. Got the bacon pizza. Full of flavor and not too greasy. Drinks were well poured and the atmosphere was good.

WOW! What a surprise! Walking by, it doesn’t look like much; but, it over performs across the board.
The cocktails were fantastic – I had the Little Black Dress and wanted to have ten more. And the wine? A small selection; yet, each one we tried was wonderful. I’ve had much poorer wines at higher priced restaurants with more robust (as in giant) wine lists.
Oh, right, we went there to eat.
Well, there were four of us and we had the Seasonal Starter, House-Made Focaccia, Fennel Roasted Organic Carrots, and a sausage pizza. All were outstanding and even I, the avowed anti-vegetable person, fell in love with the carrots. The pizza had a perfectly crispy crust that held up to the delicious toppings.
There are many nice places to dine in Portland; but, on my subsequent visits, I will definitely grab a picnic table outside, load it with great food and drink, and totally enjoy this dining experience tucked away in a quiet neighborhood.
And the staff? Personable, funny, and wonderful in all regards.

Phenomenal mac-and-cheese, hard cider, service, and atmosphere! Definitely recommend. Be patient with the service because they are sometimes short-staffed or overwhelmed because this is a neighborhood favorite and is popular as a result. I really appreciate the drink recommendations here. Great, friendly staff.
