Best Nightlife in Hillsboro

"This is another one of those places that’s always busy, always touristy, but always really really good. Screen Door serves high quality Southern food with a Pacific Northwest customer in mind (read: organic, locally sourced, fresh produce). If you’re looking for the quintessential Portland brunch experience, come to Screen Door, put your name on the waiting list and wait in the drizzle for an hour or so."

"FREE on-street parking, high demand and hard to find parking during peak brunch time, you may need to park 2-3 blocks away. I can talk about brunch at Screen Door until I’m blue in the face and I’d barely scratch the surface. This place is SO good, but don’t just take my word for it."

"If you don’t know what you’re in the mood for, head to Tasty n Sons. Chef and co-owner John Gorham has created a menu inspired by his travels around the world, so on any one visit you can order shrimp tostadas, followed by Moroccan chicken, with a side of buttermilk biscuits."

"Higgins is a Portland institution since 1994, and the food here is as good as it has ever been. Lunch is one of the best—and best values—in town; the oyster po'boy, a pure delight, comes with a soup or salad ($11). At dinner, entrees range from herb-crusted sole with a tomato-caper relish, olive oil–crushed potatoes, and grilled squash to duck with brandied grapes, braised greens, and aged cheddar polenta cake."

"Raven and Rose is an inviting romantic restaurant inside a historic building. The food is creative and perfect over candlelight. Raven and Rose is located in downtown Portland at 1331 SW Broadway, Portland, OR 97201."

"When I’m downtown and want a leisurely lunch bite (though they can get you out the door pretty quickly if you want), I head right to Olympia Provisions NW. The space is a bit out of the way in the shadow of the Freemont Bridge in the NW Industrial District, but that’s part of its charm. It’s bright and airy, and not so loud you can’t carry a conversation. This is the company that is known for its cured meats, so if you have time, start with the Charcuterie."

"Owned and established by Elias Cairo, in 2009, Olympia Provisions is Oregon’s first USDA-approved salumeria. Their facility produces cured meats, including salamis, sausages, and pate, which they distribute locally and nationwide. They also have two restaurants by the same name, fast-casual restaurant Olympia Provisions Public House (featured often on our Division Street Tour) and a food cart, Melty Meaty (featured often on our Downtown Tour)."

"What we said: “Rick Gencarelli’s Lardo joins an impressive local tradition of quality sandwich-making. In the vein of Portland sandwich institutions like Bunk and Meat Cheese Bread, the spot elevates what can be accomplished between two slices of bread, resulting in dripping, flavor-packed pork meatball banh mi and rotating “Chefwich” collaborations with top Portland chefs.”What they’re doing: All Lardo locations are open for takeout and delivery through apps like CaviarWhat to get: Most of Lardo’s sandwiches are knockouts, especially its burger and Nashville hot chicken sandwich; the dirty fries are a particularly good addition."

"The PDX knows its sandwiches, and some of the best come from Rick Gencarelli’s Lardo. Gencarelli’s got a knack for creating crowd-pleasing, instagrammable food. His pasta spin-off Grassa, also makes this list at number 15."

"Kask is a sleek saloon located in downtown Portland adjacent to Gruner restaurant. Named one of the Best Bars in America in 2012 by Esquire, Kask boasts an amazing list of spirits including 25 types of gin and 48 types of whiskey. They serve their own signature drinks along with small plates."

"They offer outside dining with 6-feet spaced tables on their backyard patio. You might miss out on seeing the still-drivable 1961 pink Cadillac convertible on display inside, but you won’t even miss it with the lush patio and yummy food. You could get lunch and dinner, too, but you’re really there for the French Custard Toast or the Smoked Salmon Benedict."

"What’s more historical — a video store, or a museum dedicated to cinema props?. Thankfully, this Southeast Portland shop houses both, with more than 100 pieces of movie history, like a shower scene knife from Psycho, Julie Andrews’ dress from The Sound of Music, the baby carriage from The Untouchables, and more. At this uniquely-Portland homage to cinema you can experience the history, rent a movie, and even rent the mini-plex for a personal screening!"

"Not only does Movie Madness boast the world’s most extensive video, DVD, and Blue-Ray rental selection, it also is host to a unique Museum of Motion Picture History. The museum literally takes you on a journey that spans the entire history of cinema with its over 100 pieces of one of a kind costumes and props."

"Home of the last steamboat ever built in the United States, the Oregon Maritime Museum aims to educate and provide the public with the knowledge, tools, and resources to understand maritime traditions and how things operated back when these boats were consistently being used around the world!. By helping you hop into the past in hopes that it’ll change the way you engage with the future, it’s easy to see why the Oregon Maritime Museum is one of the best museums in Portland. Come and take a look at the Portland for yourself to see what the only steamboat left looks like!"

"Experience the adventure of life on the rivers when you explore the sternwheeler Portland, the last operating steam-powered sternwheel tug in the United States!. Volunteers will take you on a tour of the steamer and tell stories of the local rivers and their maritime history. On the tour, you’ll be able to see ship models, maritime artifacts and memorabilia, the museum store and the library, which houses over 2,500 volumes and 22,000 photographs related to maritime history."

"For adults of all things freaky and scary, the Freakybuttrue Peculiarium is the perfect place for you to embrace your spooky side!. With a gift shop that’s free to browse and a museum in the back that gives you a tour of frights and terrifying sights, it’s easy to see why this unique attraction is among the best museums in Portland, and why people can’t stop raving about their creepy take on hidden legends and interactive gore-filled haunt fests!. Take a look through the alien autopsy area, where you can see what might reside on the inside of a creature from outer space."

"Packed full of creepy but fun exhibits, like Al Capone’s safe, an alien autopsy table, and an exhibit on spontaneous combustion, this Northwest Portland gallery and shop serves up original artwork and ice cream. Because everyone likes ice cream, right?. It’s open Wednesday-Monday 11 a.m –7 p.m."
