“Ok...so 5 stars overall, but no 5 stars on subcategories. I know it's confusing. Allow me to explain.Food: it's not Ruth's Chris or El Gaucho. It's good and greasy bar food with a really limited selection. The happy hour wings, quesadilla, and Carne nachos are really good. All this is worth 3 stars but contributes to an overall 5 stars because it works well for this place and is the right business decision.Service: it's busy and the staff has difficulty keeping up. They're sweating to keep you happy. There could be an additional person on staff on football nights...for sure.Atmosphere: it's crazy loud on football nights. Such a great energy. People come in jerseys, poke the opposing team's fans, but always respectfully. If you can't handle the 'heat', there are tables outside year round, under a covered overhang. The owner is around on many days. Regulars are a plenty and will invade your space and make you engage. Layout and tables make it conducive to a fun evening for you! There's a small VLT space and I think that's a detriment, but maybe it was the best use of that odd space?All of those things in combination make this a 5-star place. I look forward to going back each time...but you gotta be expecting the vibe described or else this place can be a fast turn-off.“

“My husband and I just moved to Oregon and we went to The New Gemini for the first time last night. We had so much fun, great live music! The staff was fun to chat with, the newlyweds that bartend together took amazing care of us. They had funny stories and went out of their way to make us some special cocktails! The door guy was funny as well! This will definitely be a regular spot of ours!“

“Out of the dozen pho places I've tried in PDX, this one was a surprise for sure. It's hands down my favorite and it's such a small, unassuming spot. The salt and pepper squid is also the best I've ever had. I cannot recommend this place enough“

“Gambino's is a wonderful place to eat. The food is great and the server is excellent. Always pleasant and helpful. Very attentive even when the restaurant is busy. Happy hour is always fun. But I don't care how prodigious your appetite is only order two items at first because they'll fill you up. The food is delicious. I can't recommend Gambino's highly enough. They are conveniently located in the Grocery Outlet shopping center on 99w in Tigard.“

“Recommended by a friend and I have to say really great burgers and fries with a really good microbrew selection. Service was also excellent, cool relaxing atmosphere. When I left the place i was thoroughly stuffed and satisfied, could easily have stayed for a few more pints though, likely next time!“

“It's kind of a idk, run down joint but the people that go there are really kewl and the bartenders are very friendly. I won 200 off of a twenty in one of their machines and now they are my favorite spot! I didn't eat there so idk about the food. Go there for the atmosphere!“

“Came here cuz I heard the Mac n cheese was some of the best in the city!Sadly it was good but not quite "the best" however the price point didn't leave me disappointed. Quite reasonable for what you get!Beer selection is incredible and the atmosphere is quiet but not too quiet and everyone was super friendly. Nice mid west neighbor tavern vibes. Very comfortable!I'll be back to try the burger :)“

“Going to start strong with cost effectiveness and ambiance, prices most commonly range from 4.75-8 dollars. Thursdays are all day happy hour, and each drink has over 2 oz of the hard alcohol added! Willing to make tall w/out cost increase. Best lemon drops (I always ask for a lot of sugar since I can't handle the taste of alcohol) and only 3.75 during happy hour, Malibu's are only 5.50!Really nice bartender, gives great suggestions, and is so nice they'll cook fries up until 11:30pm! I always leave a little more than tipsy during happy hour with 11.25 dollars of drinks under my belt (3 drinks). At most, it would cost 15 for drinks and 7 for a full thing of fries. Amazing service and relaxed atmosphere (I usually go around 11pm, but I recommend more than an hour to properly access billiards and other activities). Their music leans into a rock vibe, it's the only bar I've been to that makes me feel 100% comfortable.They have shuffle board, billiards, darts, and video poker. The lighting is darker with many TVs, and a lot of the furniture works amazing with the ambiance of the lighting. Overall 10/10! I recommend this to anyone who leans more introverted, I recommend going early if you want more people to talk to, but otherwise, come within the last 2.5 hours for a more introverted friendly experience. It's also 21+.Make sure to tip your bartender well. They seriously deserve it! (Each time I've gone, there's only been one bartender, I'll update with proper pronouns once I get informed. I struggle with being personal level social until after a couple of visits)“

“Love The Dugout. Service is great. Friendly staff. We come here every week and we feel like family. Kaylee is absolutely amazing. She alone is a reason to stop by. So friendly. Feel like we have been friends for years. Food is priced right. Wings and tots are worth it. Karaoke is fun and low pressure. This is our spot.“

“This place is my favorite in the Foster Powell neighborhood. Great balance of age and type of customers. Decor and spaces are also balanced and comfortable. Outside spaces all around. Inside spaces also comfortable. Interesting decor. Good balance of micros, import and domestic. Hamm's on tap. Food complete and tasty. Staff friendly and professional. Not a dive, not fancy so a good compromise for me and my wife. Also the music is my type of music and not too loud. Really like the thought and planning that has gone into Maven.“

“Been visiting a few years now.Great happy hour food menu.One of my go to's is the White Cheddar Mac & Cheese made with cavatappi noodles and white cheddar cheese (like home-made).I add the grilled chicken on top.Well....menu changed to boxed mac & cheese, so disappointing!!!!The grilled chicken helped flavor but the noodles.....you know, wimpy noodles from a box.Too bad!First photo is of recent mac and cheese...notice the elbow noodles and the cheese sauce.The second and third photos are of previous mac and cheese orders with cavatappi noodles and real cheese.Parking: Tight parking spaces but lots of them“

“One of the best west side dives. Spacious with all the fixings, friendly neighborhood crowd and great service. Solid food options for pub style. As a night shift person, I love the early open. I kinda wish they had a rack to lock up a bike out front, as it's on my commute home but I'm rarely in that neighborhood otherwise.“

“Come here all the time for AYCE breakfast! it's delicious and fills me up for the rest of the day. Ross always has my first bloody Mary ready for me soon as I walk in the door. I love the atmosphere and stellar customer service.“
“I've been here twice now and the food has been consistently good. First time I got the Cali burrito which was tasty, but I do wish the fries were just a little crispier. They seemed just a little undercooked. Second time I got the super nachos with chicken and they were good. A ton of food for a good price. Service is also consistently great and I love all their salsas. Definitely want to come back and try the ramen and queso taco next time.“

“The sandwiches and burgers here are so phenomenal I've been thinking about them for days after. There are a variety of beer styles -- not just IPAs -- and the beers on tap are excellent. If you're looking for a large tap list or frequent new things to try this isn't the place to go.“

“Just moved to the neighborhood a few months ago and found this gem across the street. Didn't expect to feel so welcome at a bar where the walls have elk heads mounted along with old shotguns above the urinal. Never judge a book by it's cover. Try the chowder on Fridays and the collards on any day!“

“The food is well above what you would expect for a bar. We go there often for a drink, but rarely get a meal because we are pescatarian (love the appetizers though!). Today, we were thrilled because we asked the chef gal if she would make us a fish sandwich and she went out of her way to make us happy, even coming out several times to clarify what we wanted. It was an amazing sandwich and we hope they’ll add it to the menu! Also, our friend asked for fry sauce and the chef went back and whipped some up for her. Her and the bartender were much more accommodating than you’d expect for a bar (or even for many restaurants). I can’t recommend this place enough, and I whole heartedly think the staff amplify the experience.“

“For a tavern type place this is 5 star. Small and quirky. Funky bar top, a pool table and a pretty diverse set of slots, this is a good midday stop. Cheeseburger, chicken fried steak, onion rings and tots were all good. Will swing by again when we are in the area.“

“Stopped in to check out the new menu and it did not disappoint. The watercress beef salad is soo good. Also got the lime beef because that's my husband's favorite dish here. We usually always get egg rolls and wings when we're here so we ordered that as well. Order a few shots, service was good. Started to get busy with customers so there was a bit of a wait. Place was clean but there was lots of gnats flying around when we were trying to eat. Will definitely come back to try other menu items.“

“Was in there this past week. Got pretzel app with a jalapeño cheese dip instead of a beer cheese dip listed on the menu. Whe I switched to mozzarella sticks, they were way overdone. Not a good experience although my friend enjoyed his chili and jalapeño poppers.“

“Had a great dinner here- I was unassuming cuz it was busy for a Friday night. I was so excited they had many things on the menu that I like and happy hour 3-6 and 9-close for a lot of appetizer items. Our server, Madeline was friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. I ended up having the crispy wings, tater skins and a side dinner salad. Everything was fresh and delicious, I'll definitely be back!“

“We sat at the bar. I had a burger and he had ribs. Everything was very tasty! Counters were a little dirty but nothing horrible. The best part was how friendly the other patrons were. Extremely chatty folks and seemed to be enjoying themselves. We will go back.“

“I’ve visited just a handful of times, but each time the drinks have been excellent, the food yummy, and the service really friendly. Last night was my birthday, and the staff at the Lair were kind enough to accommodate 13 women with a big table and great service (without much advance notice). The Lair is not fancy, and you don’t want it to be. It’s the perfect low-key local hangout where you’re always treated like a regular (even if you’re not). P.S. Evan makes an excellent Bloody Caesar“

“Hands down, best Prime Rib Dip (French Dip)of my life. Could take or leave the mozzarella sticks and fried pickles. But the prime rib dip so far out shadows the mediocrity of the sides that it deserves a 5/5. The huckleberry lemon drop was also exceptional and the vodka tonic fully met my expectations. But the Tuesday special prime rib dip was so good I’ll be back just for that! Service was also exceptionally responsive.Parking: Easy to find a spot on a Tuesday night“

“Consumate dive bar, but in a good way. Great place to play pool for the first time, and the live band karaoke was a blast to hear in the other room! I like that the pool tables are away from the main floor so that there's plenty of space.“

“For some reason I always forget just how great Virginia Cafe is. And then I go in and order a drink and a burger and wonder why I’m not here more often. Great food, great atmosphere, great location. What more can you ask for? Seriously, come by for a bite if you are in Downtown Portland at all.“

“At this point I'll call myself a regular, my husband and I love this place and it's the only place in the neighborhood that dose the chicken fried steak, and their garlic toast, yummm! The bartenders are so sweet and attentive, easy to conversate with and usually it's pretty laid back here, sure it can get loud at times, but what bar can't, right?;I love this place so much I'd work here... Lol ❤️“
