Migration Brewing will trek to the Field Office buildings, the blueish-black twin office buildings on Front Avenue adjacent to the Dockside Saloon and the train tracks. The landscaped courtyard is quiet except for piped in ambient music and train sounds. There’s a French café nearby, a daycare and a small cafe/brewpub across Front Avenue that serves nearby apartment dwellers. When Migration opens in March 2027, there will be pizza, a full bar and Migration stalwarts like their Patio Pale. Migration has a pop-up in the PACWest Center in downtown with a wrap-around patio affording eye-level views of Portlandia’s biceps. Migration has other, more obvious locations on North Williams and Northeast Glisan streets.
