Rooted in the Community

We aren't just a business in North Portland; we’re a part of it. Haymaker is a gathering spot for the dreamers, the artists, and everyone in between. We believe a neighborhood bar should be a reflection of the people who live and work here, which is why we lean heavily into the local voices and flavors that make our side of town unique.

The New Sound of North Portland

Music is the heartbeat of our space, and we’re dedicated to keeping that rhythm fresh. We take pride in being a home for local singer-songwriters who are out there doing the real work.

You won’t find a jukebox of covers here. Instead, our stage is a platform for original music—the raw, new, and authentic sounds of Portland’s rising talent. Whether it’s an intimate acoustic set or a breakout performance, we’re the place to discover your next favorite artist in an environment that actually listens.

A Taste of the Northwest

Our kitchen is an extension of our community values. We believe the food on your plate should be as soulful as the music on our stage. We prioritize locally sourced ingredients and partner with nearby vendors to ensure our menu is a true reflection of the Pacific Northwest.

At Haymaker, the hospitality is warm, the music is original, and the next round is always a good idea.

Pull up a chair. You’re among friends.
