The Made in Oregon sign tells it like it is. No strip malls. No frills. Just a friendly reminder that in Portland, we keep it real (and local). Just in time for Small Business Saturday, we want to share some of our favorite neighborhoods and small business owners that make us continue to have the biggest crush ever on Portland.

If you’re in town this weekend, make sure to support the folks who make these neighborhoods what they are today. Better yet, if you’re new to Uber: Use Promo Code: SMALLBIZPDX to get a free first ride to visit these local favorites.

Guitar

JUKEBOX GUITAR

At this little shop, anything with strings can be brought back to life. It’s worth a visit to see a vintage guitar or at least pet the owner’s adorable pooch.

RedCastle

RED CASTLE GAMES

From board games to playing cards, this is the place to be. Once a crazy idea turned booming niche business, this gem is revitalizing the heart of Foster.

CityLiquid

CITY LIQUIDATORS

This store has been serving the Eastside since 1977. From water balloons to couches, it has it all (including Emma Pelett, it’s smart and sophisticated owner).

RichmondBar

RICHMOND BAR

With cocktails that are just as hot as their fire pit, Richmond Bar is Division’s Best kept secret. Not too classy or “divey” but just right for the area.

Kure

KURE JUICE

KURE was founded by Nate + Nick, two friends sharing a passion for pushing limits. Even if you’re not a health nut, it’s worth adding to your list.

Menagerie

MENAGERIE

Menagerie makes products that are good for the body, environment and its makers. It’s also located in an airstream, which is as Portland as they come.
