Lighthouse Restaurant & Bar

Located in Portland’s Linnton neighborhood, the Lighthouse specializes in scratch-made food, craft draft beers, quality cocktails with freshly squeezed juices, friendly service, and stories of Old Portland that would make even John Waters blush. Stop by for a burger and a cold pint, then challenge a regular to a game of chess or pool. We’re pretty sure after you’ve tried the food, downed some drinks, and soaked in the vibe, you’ll become a regular, too. The Lighthouse has been a bar and restaurant since 1950, but the property’s history runs a lot deeper than Harry Truman’s first term. Since the structure was erected in 1886, it’s been at various times the First U.S. National Bank, a barber shop, and a post office. But its true place in the pantheon of Portland history is as the Lighthouse, where longshoreman gathered after a grueling day for a beer, a shot, and something hot to eat.
