After being announced in late March, the forthcoming Double Mountain Overlook Taproom will open its doors on Saturday, July 8 at 11:00am! Double Mountain’s Brewmaster and Founder, Matt Swihart, will give a speech and officially christen the bar shortly after the taproom opens tomorrow.
Double Mountain has taken over the former home of a Lucky Labrador Brewing Taproom that officially closed its doors in December 2022. This is the third outpost for Double Mountain, and its second in Portland, Oregon. Since taking over the space, the Double Mountain team has spruced up the building, giving it a new paint job that brings the look and feel that’s expected from the Hood River based brewery. They have also done some noticeable work inside that has definitely cleaned up the place and given it a much more inviting presence.
The food menu is very similar to what is offered at the Double Mountain Woodstock Taproom in Southeast Portland. There are plenty of choices of appetizers, salads, sandwiches and of course their famous pizza! These items all pair nicely with the plentiful choices of Double Mountain beer and cider on tap, as well as a few cocktails and wine.
Double Mountain Overlook Taproom is located at 1700 N Killingsworth St. and will be open seven days per week beginning at 11:00am. It is conveniently located a few blocks from the MAX Yellow Line and directly on the 72 Bus line.
