Lutz Tavern, Neighborhood tavern in Woodstock, Portland, US
Lutz Tavern is an established tavern on Woodstock Boulevard serving local beers, cocktails, and pub food in a casual setting. The space features pool tables and maintains an extensive whiskey collection alongside rotating local beer taps.
The tavern was founded in 1947 by the Lutz family and passed to the Barisich family in 1954. After closing in 2010, it reopened under new management in 2011.
The tavern has long served as a gathering place where Reed College students and neighborhood residents meet over drinks and food. The space creates a relaxed setting where different groups naturally come together.
The menu features burgers, sandwiches, and the signature Lutz corn dog, which is worth trying. The space is roomy and accessible, with a relaxed pace that works well for both quick stops and longer visits.
The place played a part in reviving interest in Pabst Blue Ribbon during the late 1990s, helping reintroduce the beer to a younger crowd. This role during that era was significant for the brand's resurgence in the region.
