ITโ€™S BACK. The only time of year that mattersโ€”the Portland Mercuryโ€™s Burger Weekโ€”is finally here!

From Monday August 13-Saturday August 18, at 49 of Portlandโ€™s most beloved restaurants, bars, and brew houses, youโ€™ll find fantastic, one-of-a-kind burgers that exist ONLY for the Mercuryโ€™s Burger Week! Thatโ€™d be great on its own, but it gets better: Each of those fantastic, one-of-a-kind burgers is only $5!

The Portland Mercuryโ€™s Burger Week is brought to you by the Mercury (natch), but we couldnโ€™t do it without our burger-lovinโ€™ pals at New Seasons Market, Jim Beam, Widmer Brothers Brewing, and Oregonโ€™s Finest!

Keep reading to discover all of this yearโ€™s wondrous Burger Week burgers… BUT WAIT! READ THIS FIRST!

Stay cool!

The Mercuryโ€™s scientific research has revealed that Burger Week is the most popular event in the world! That means there are LINES, and lines mean youโ€™ve got to be patient. Itโ€™ll be worth it, promiseโ€”and if a particularly popular burger sells out, you can always come back the next day, or track down one of the other 49 Burger Week burgers!

Tip, cheapskate!

Burger Week doesnโ€™t just happenโ€”itโ€™s the result of months of hard work from chefs, wait staff, bartenders, and more who work crazy long hours to make sure the week is as fun (and delicious) as it can be! Show โ€™em some love!

Drink (and eat) up.

Yes, burgers are what make Burger Week… Burger Week. But youโ€™ll be doing it wrong if you donโ€™t take advantage of the other stuff that Burger Weekโ€™s choice locations have to offer, from beer to sides to salads!

Be social.
