From the family-owned taproom pouring 20 house-brewed beers to the gastropubs where neighbors gather for burgers and pints, Tualatin's brewpub scene is thriving. Here is your guide to the best spots.
Tualatin's brewpub culture has grown into something special. While the city offers plenty of dining options, there is something uniquely community-driven about the places that pair great beer with great food in a setting designed for lingering. Whether you are a craft beer enthusiast or simply looking for a relaxed evening out, Tualatin's brewpubs and gastropubs deliver.
Here is a closer look at the brewpub scene, anchored by the outstanding Ancestry Brewing and rounded out with other local favorites.
Family-Owned Since 2016
Ancestry Brewing.
Founded in 2016 by the Turner family (who have deep roots in the U.S. Navy), Ancestry Brewing is Tualatin's premier craft brewery and gastropub. Located at 20585 SW 115th Ave, it offers over 20 house-brewed beers on tap, including a consistent 8-beer lineup and seasonal rotators. Flagship brews like the Best Coast IPA (a West Coast IPA with Mosaic and Citra hops), Cloud Kicker Hazy IPA, and Freezing Fog Hazy IPA keep locals coming back. Hops are sourced locally from the Willamette Valley, giving each beer a true Oregon character.
The food menu matches the beer's ambition. The award-winning PDX Sliders food cart operates on-site, offering creative sliders alongside the brewery's own kitchen items like fish and chips, the USS Canberra Burger, and the Ancestry Burger. The spacious interior and covered patio make it a great spot for everything from after-work pints to weekend family dinners.

Brix Tavern
A polished gastropub at 8187 SW Tualatin-Sherwood Rd with a warm, wood-accented interior, an excellent rotating tap list, and a menu of elevated comfort food. The burgers are outstanding, the craft cocktail program is serious, and the patio is popular in good weather. Brix is a go-to for date night or catching up with friends over good beer.
Tualatin Station
Housed in a historic building at 18770 SW Boones Ferry Rd, Tualatin Station combines rustic charm with a full bar and American pub fare. The name nods to the building's railroad history, and the atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming. A great spot for a casual weeknight dinner or a Sunday afternoon beer.
C.I. Bar & Grill
A neighborhood institution at 18786 SW Boones Ferry Rd, C.I. Bar & Grill has been serving Tualatin for years. The food is classic American bar and grill fare, the beer is cold, and the crowd is friendly. It is the kind of place where regulars know the bartender's name and newcomers are welcomed like old friends.
Brewery Culture
What makes Tualatin's brewpub scene special.
Locally owned, community rooted
Unlike chain restaurants, Tualatin's brewpubs are largely family-run or locally owned. The Turners at Ancestry Brewing, the team at Tualatin Station, and the folks at C.I. Bar & Grill all live in or near the community. When you walk in, you are supporting neighbors.
Oregon ingredients, Oregon character
Ancestry Brewing sources hops from the Willamette Valley, one of the world's premier hop-growing regions. Many other local pubs feature Oregon craft beers on their rotating taps. The connection to the land is part of what makes the beer taste like home.
A place to gather
Tualatin's brewpub culture is about more than the beer. It is about having a third place where neighbors gather, where families feel welcome on the patio, and where community events like trivia nights and live music bring people together. That is the heart of a great neighborhood.
