Food

Alberta District Food

There are a slew of good eateries to choose from along Alberta Street, with new ones opening on a seemingly weekly basis. One Alberta staple is Thai Noon (2635 NE Alberta St.) which offers an affordable and healthy menu of authentic (and organic) Thai food. Another great Thai spot, with a bit more adventurous menu and unconventional menu is Siam Society (2703 NE Alberta), cleverly located in a former electrical station. For Mexican, a favorite is La Sirenita (2817 NE Alberta St). This dive-y little taqueria is serving up huge burritos to the scruffy local bohemians every day from 10am-10pm. For breakfast or brunch, look no further than the hugely popular Tin Shed Garden Cafe (1438 NE Alberta), featuring their near-legendary potato cakes.

Fun

There is no shortage of bars, galleries and cafés in the Alberta Arts District. If libations are what you’re after, stop into any number of Alberta St. bars, taverns or pubs. For the rock-and-roll-dive savvy, enter the unassuming enclave of The Know (2927 NE Alberta), where you are likely feel at home amongst the humble cheap-beer-swilling hipsters. If local beer is your thing, slip into Mash Tun Brew Pub (2204 NE Alberta St), where they are making some exceptional Portland microbrews. And for a more high-brow experience (or if you are trying to impress a date), come sip a martini and bask in the arty opulence of Zaytoon (2236 NE Alberta St).

Many Alberta bars serve up live music along with their drinks. The Alberta Public House (1036 NE Alberta) features acoustic and world music just about every night of the week. Aforementioned, The Know offers live rock music, free of charge, most every Friday and Saturday night (just be sure to get there early, as the music must stop by 10pm). The Nest (1801 NE Alberta St.) also has rock bands every Wednesday from 8-10.

History

Alberta District History

Alberta Street’s history begins in 1872, when the town of Albina was plotted by Edwin Russell and William W. Page. It has been speculated that the name Alberta might have been suggested by Page?s wife, who was Canadian, as either a tribute to England?s Princess Alberta or the Canadian province named after her. Alberta Street officially became a part of Portland when, in 1891, Albina was consolidated into the city. Like any street, Alberta’s history has been shaped and influenced by the people who’ve lived and worked in the neighborhood.
