Russell Street

Russell StreetThe Elliot neighborhood along Russell Street has seen huge growth in the past 15 years. The Widmer Brothers Brewery moved into the neighborhood in 1992 and began building a facility to brew some of the finest ales and lagers in Portland accompanied by fabulous German cuisine. With completion of their expansion in 2008, they’ve become the largest brewer in the city and house the largest fermentors in Oregon. In the late 90’s, the McMenamins White Eagle Saloon opened to offer the neighborhood another venue for food, drink and entertainment. Soon thereafter Mint and 820 gave the area some more nightlife. Along with these establishments, a wine shop and hair salon are also available, all easily accessible by the Interstate Max Line using the Albina/ Mississippi Avenue stop.

As you travel east on Russell Avenue, you will find more fabulous dining establishments including Russell St. BBQ and Toro Bravo. You can also find live music at the Wonder Café and Ballroom, which was recently renovated to accommodate the popular bands that frequent Portland and make it an eclectic music town.
