Brew ‘N’ View – Movie Theaters That Serve Beer
How does Portland make movie theaters better? Beer.
Portland’s beloved “brew ‘n’ view” movie theaters run the gamut from funky to swanky, serving up all manner of drinks, food and films. Movie tickets cost less than $10, and some even run less than the price of a pint. Call it a happy hour and a half.
