45 Best Bar & Grill near Milwaukie

“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.“

“McQueen’s is your local pub with great food, drinks and service. So much fun in a local place. You instantly feel at home. The onion rings are next to none. I had the quarter pounder hamburger with Swiss cheese and grilled mushrooms. So good! The bartender Lisa made us feel like we were part of the neighborhood regulars.“

“My Girl n go there often for breakfast, my eggs, hash browns, Sausage patties and toast n pancakes are always perfect. Very clean n the staff is professionally fun.“

“Little neighborhood bar with truly excellent bar food. It was pretty quiet when we went in but drinks were good, staff was friendly, but otherwise that was about as much as I would say about it. Decent but not amazing patio, a sort of lounge seating area. Could be a decent place to grab some drinks.“

“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“

“So pleased to have found a new great local bar with pleasant bartenders, tasty cocktails, and numbly chow (mac & cheese w bacon, fried chix sammich, &c.)“

“They have done a great job with Misfits. Great music and great staff!“

“Delicious food! Great atmosphere! An iconic Portland institution that needs our support. 40+ years in business and for good reason. Cassidy’s is all that was and is right about Portland...“

“Great neighborhood dive - with great atmosphere and staff. My wife and I don't get to come here too often with young kids, but when we do we have a great time! Decent tap selection, haven't eaten here in years but it was solid from “

“It’s a great local dive bar, it has great food and feels comfy and safe. They have an awesome back patio area with heaters. The staff is friendly and welcoming, as is the normal crowd.“

“Amazing vibes, great food and drinks, fabulous events, and lovely folx.“

“Great food, great drink, great service, great people! one of the finest establishments I've ever drank/dined/performed in! 10/10“

“Decent food and close to anywhere in North Portland Great for NFL Sunday“

“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.“

“Fun place to go for a girls night or a date night! Great food & Diamond pool tables. They also have themed little areas great for photos!“

“Great little place so far, Love that they put the ice water in a glass. It’s super cold and delicious. The coffee is yummy. The bartender Melissa is amazing such a sweetheart. Definitely coming back. Highly recommend the place! My breakfast was delicious.“

“Driving from California,needed fuel, missed the turn,went over freeway, turned around, stopped at a gas station, ready to get going again, saw dive bar, it said open on the sign, went in, everybody watching sports, didnt realize it was sunday cause driving 3 days, nice girl", approaches us as we just sat ourselves cause we were just tired, asks if we'd like something, mentioned a special, brought my beer quickly as i traded driving with my friend, "A very large Stella Draft?, had wings,tipped her well,AND THEN ...ON THE ROAD AGAIN...Home.Perfect place, clean, better than good food,atmosphere was easy, all types were in there. That's the mark of a good place.. check it out..“

“We have been wanting to try their Thursday seafood nite and finally made it. We had a lobster dinner and the hand battered halibut dinner and both were very good and filling. Reasonable prices and friendly service. Will definitely go back!!!“

“Halibut tacos were excellent with plenty fish portion (couple small fillets each). Great flavor and seasoning. Good beans and rice. Excellent mild salsa (red, which was spicier) and okay hot salsa. Coke spot on sweet. Service excellent as well even though server was stretched across the restaurant! Table next to me got Naochos appetizer and it was huge!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Great public course. Well maintained“

“Twilight Room is one of the best local bars in North Portland. Food is top-notch, and Claudio knows his cooking skills. Fish & chips, burgers, or chicken your belly will thank you. Service is stellar. Sara & Sean are on it ! Drinks are premium & they always have a new yummy drink & food special to try. All bar staff here, make this bar a fun & safe place to hang out. Pool tables & plenty of room to sit. Outdoor seating & dog friendly. Bar is filled with young & older people. Karaoke with Chad on Saturday nights is Fantastic! Song rotation, so everyone gets to sing !! Love this bar & staff. Come in, have a burger, beer and sing. ♥️ Family-friendly hours too !!“

“Great spot to hang out and watch some games! The staff is very friendly and the updated menu looks great!“

“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.“

“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“

“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“

“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.“

“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.“

“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 ❤️“
