Mock Crest Tavern is a cozy, historic neighborhood bar in North Portland, housed in a distinctive cigar‑shaped 1920s-era building that once served as a butcher shop and later a pharmacy. Known for its warm, inclusive vibe, rotating craft beer selection, comfort food (notably burgers and veggie sliders), friendly staff, and welcoming atmosphere, it hosts live music on Fridays and Saturdays (never a cover), along with trivia, poker, and open mic nights.
