My first experience wasnt the greatest so I gave it another try but the food is just really bland with no flavor and the bartender was kind of rude and didn't have a great attitude.

It’s like a dive bar. Dark, okay food, good alcohol selection. Don’t expect fancy food, but there are a lot of options. Most of them will be just fine. Not too expensive, especially for a touristy town. It’s a good option, but I wouldn’t say it’s my top option. I will go here only when I’m out of ideas.

Came here twice during our trip to Portland, once at the beginning because we just wanted somewhere to eat and once at the end because I loved it so much and wanted to have the wings one last time. Definitely get the Thai sweet chili wings they are delicious, I only did the half order and it was still a ton of food.

As always, delicious food, friendly service and upbeat atmosphere. I love the wide variety of craft beers, and enjoyed the gin drink I had. I'll be back next time I'm in the area.

Portion sizes are easily enough to pack a lunch for the next day. Service is always on point. Excellent place to go with a large group or just a friend.

Sat immediately, but took a really long time for a waitress to appear. As others have said the haddock in my fish and chips was not good, overcooked and dry, and the chips underdone, though I did like the way they cut them. My friend had a lot of fat and unedible bites in her pulled pork. I was told this place was amazing, maybe will try again, but not really impressed with anything but the size of the menu.

We came in for a mid-day Saturday meal and were promptly seated outside. However, nobody came to our table for over 20 minutes to take our order. We had to go inside and ask someone to serve us. The food was okay, I’ve had both better and worse.

The wings was to salty and dry. No flavor.
