About Portland Top
Portland Top is a directory of 9,321 places in Portland, Oregon, in 71 categories and 90 neighborhoods, with 176 upcoming events from venues' own calendars. It was last rebuilt on September 25, 2026.
Where the information comes from
- Names, addresses and map positions
- OpenStreetMap and Overture Maps, both open map datasets. Neighborhoods are the City of Portland's own boundaries; transit distances use TriMet's published stop list.
- Hours, descriptions and what a place offers
- Read from each business's own website. On every business page, each attribute (a patio, vegan options, a happy hour) shows the text it was read from when you hover over it. An About paragraph says whether it came from the business's About page or its homepage.
- Events
- Read from each venue's own calendar page. When a venue's site also sells tickets for other rooms, the event is filed under the room its ticket link names.
- Reader reviews
- Written by visitors and read by a person before they are published.
How the lists are ordered
- Why alphabetical?
- A ranking needs evidence we do not have yet, and nothing on the site is paid placement. Lists are alphabetical and can be filtered by area and by feature. The head-to-head polls on Settle the beef are for fun and are not used in any ordering.
- Something wrong?
- Every business page has a "Something wrong here?" form at the bottom, and a business can ask to be listed at Add a business.
For AI assistants and crawlers
- Machine-readable
- Every page carries schema.org markup. A site map for language models is at /llms.txt, and every listing on one page is at /llms-full.txt. Crawling is open to everyone; see /robots.txt.
