8:15 pm- 9:30pm Kennedy School Brewery
The Kennedy School has been a center of lively activity for the Northeast Portland neighborhood since opening in 1915. As decades passed, the school took on additional civic roles, further endearing it to its neighbors. When school was not in session, “Kennedy” served the community as a public meeting hall, polling place, Red Cross blood drawing center, collection site for paper and tin can drives, weekend playground and even flood-relief shelter.
After receiving the approval of the city and the support of the neighborhood, McMenamins launched its renovation in the spring of 1997, infusing the 80-year-old structure with new life. In particular, a river of artwork was inspired by the stories of generations of Kennedy’s students and teachers.
On October 22, 1997, the original principal’s bell was rung on the front steps at 7 a.m. sharp to herald the old school’s new beginning as McMenamins Kennedy School. Offering a unique and fun lodging, dining and meeting experience, Kennedy remains a lively gathering spot for neighbors and newcomers alike.

9:45 pm Lucky Lab Brewery
Today, Lucky Lab Brewing Company is one of the top specialty brewers in the state of Oregon. It produces a variety of international style ales, including IPA. Lucky Lab ales are naturally conditioned in the bottle, keg, or cask from which they are served – they’re never force carbonated. The natural conditioning creates ale that is smooth, naturally carbonated, and full of flavor.
