A Portland institution. Taco Tuesday's tacos at $2 a pop are a great deal... plus extended happy hour... hours. Plus- they serve awesome Margaritas, and only the PBest of Rs. Savor.

I stopped in just to use the bathroom. A drunk guy came up when I came out and sucker punched me. I threw him down and hit him once and saw the bouncer, put my hands up showing I was done and walked out. The bouncer waited for me to get to the door and shoved me out, after I already showed I wasn’t going I do anything extra. Trash bouncers and character. I’ll never go back or pay for anything there again if they hire ppl that can’t read a situation.

Just do it! Hit the Bar! They hit all the marks if you're a fun loving ,chill vibe kinda person. Pool! Cigs! Hot Bartender Lady! A Quesadilla that knocked my socks off! Classic Rock playing semi loud! Dim Lights! Hardwood Bar! Easy to let time slip bye here. A Cave Bar! If you bring a date, there's a nice Restaurant upstairs. Been here 50 years. They must be doing something right!!! I'm sold!!!

Dive bar that is fun in the summer or winter! In the summer they have an outside area with live music and lots of picnic tables. Drinks are strong and cheap. Inside they have a pool table and darts.

According to other reviews, seems like a good place to get assaulted by the bouncers and dissed by certain racist staff.

I would really like to give 5 stars! I used to visit frequently. Tacos are awesome! 2nd floor is awesome spot! The food? Usually good! Though, as Ive read other reviews here - tourist being treated disgracefully! Terrible! And so was I, for no reason! There is a very hostile door person who is beyond militently hateful, for no needed reason! And I was not intoxicated at all at the time. Treat people right! Treat me right if or when I ever visit again and negative will be removed!

Quality Food at an affordable price. Very friendly waitresses and fun
Looking for a place to sit and have some chips and queso after a long day of driving. We thought there was a dining room and must have looked pretty confused walking in and out several times looking for it. Finally the bartender took pity on us and we ended up sitting at the bar with our delicious chips. Not crowded at all when we got there, but the bartender told us we must have drawn a crowd because by the time we left the place was rocking. Wish I would've gotten her name because she was so nice and was hustling the whole time. Definitely a local dive hangout , but it's clean and not to terribly expensive.

Found this place down a small side street in the heart of Portland and decided to stop in for supper. We needed a break from all the lobster and seafood and this turned out to be a fantastic option. Super friendly, great simple food, good prices. Respectable selection of tequila if you fancy a margarita or two.Our server was a joy and she made our evening perfect. No complaints, can't think of anything negative at all even if I struggle so I would absolutely recommend this place if a bit of Mexican food sounds appealing.Dietary restrictions: I have a weird allergy that usually is quite a challenge to deal with. They accommodated me amazingly well and went above and beyond making sure I was OK. Could not have asked for better consideration.Parking: Lots of parking options all over and within easy walking distance.
Awful experience. An employee named Abby was downright rude and kicked me and my Mom out of the bar for doing quite literally nothing. We were going to the bathroom and she was yelling and swearing at us to get out and caused a scene. She refused to tell us what we did wrong - I think it was a mistake? Not sure but the way that she treated us was disgusting. We asked for a manager and were told there was none on duty. Ruined our last night of vacation. Absolutely skip this place if you’re in Portland!

This reviews for one thing and one thing only, the strawberry margarita. Came here with some friends on the day that Jimmy Buffett passed away to mourn with margaritas. I wasn't expecting much from this place, especially considering some of the reviews, but with no Margaritaville locations in Portland, it was our best bet. For whatever reason these strawberry margaritas absolutely blew my mind, they were the perfect level of sweet and sour and the sugar rim was the perfect addition. We sat outside, and the service was a little bit slow because there's only one waitress and a lot of the tables were full, but we weren't particularly in a rush and we just had two rounds margaritas so that wasn't an issue. Next time I'm in Portland, I will definitely be back to have another strawberry margarita in Jimmy's honor.
Super rude bouncer, wont be
