“Had a yummy Bloody Mary and a tasty Reuben Sandwich. I’ll be back“

“A awesome place to stop for an adult beverage and socialize. Number 7 on the craft beer is my favorite and wife likes the Marion berry cider. A great assortment to sample and enjoy.
Watch for the local musicians to preform here in relaxed atmosphere.
HIGHLY recommended! You can always grab a growler to take home and enjoy.“

“Had a great time at the Paint and Sip last night. I highly recommend the Nachos, it was delicious!“

“The gal that works evenings, I call her the "can lady", is VERY attentive, pleasant, and interacts very positively, with her patrons. Kudos Lighthouse, for employing such conscientious individuals!!! (PS... Her name is Kris.) ?UPDATE/ADDITION:Decided to play a little Video Poker... AND WON!!! ??? Walked out with $410. in winnings! (Thanks Light House, now I can get my car fixed! YAY-ness over load!)“

“The food is OK, even though the beer is great! We ordered the fish and chips and the Aztec salad with fried chicken.

The fish and chips were good, although the portion size for the price was a bit disappointing. The remoulade was great though! The chicken on the salad was done really well, but the salad was kind of meh. Definitely not something that keeps a person coming back. Plus, the prices are high in comparison to other places with more interesting menus. It might be time for McMenamins to freshen up their food offerings.

The atmosphere is typical McMenamins, lots of vintage kitsch. It's cool and I love that they bring new life to old buildings and institutions (literally in this case). Service here was fine.“

“The most amazing staff! The beer choices are outstanding. Thank you from this Texas girl!“

“A cute little dive bar. It was far from crowded, not many people when I checked it out. Mostly people hanging out on the slot machines, or shooting pool on the only table they had. Majority of the people were a young group of regulars, but a few older folks as well. The bartender was very sweet. ?“

“Cool pub! They had Boneyard IPA on tap. 🍻“

“The great FRIENDLY SERVING STAFF and above average food from the Kitchen Staff. ENJOY“

“Food is always good. It’s great for a mellow lunch. Evenings are great for the younger crowd. They have pool tables and shuffleboard. It’s separate from an area you can sit and chat and eat in. Drinks are good. No live music or karaoke that I’ve seen but I’m not there all the time either.“

“Close to home, inexpensive drinks, all the tvs have football, there's keno, 2 pool tables (free on sundays), and slot machines. The other day they let me watch spongebob at 3pm. Who could wish for anything more?!“

“I absolutely love that every Sunday their pool tables are open to anyone and they're free. So awesome! I've never even really heard anything bad about this place. Everyone's super nice and laid-back. It's a cool place if you have to waste some time or you just want somewhere to hang out that's friendly. This is the place.“

“Great food and service. Highly recommend“

“I love the food but did not enjoy the women talking on the phone so flipping loud we had to move to the other side.😞😡“

“First time here at Bandits bar and grill, I have heard good things about this place from friends that live in the area and have stopped here when driving I84. First impression is cute bar/restaurant, the bartender/waitress was so welcoming and attentive. Ordered a beer and she advised the special of the day. I ordered a cup of the tri tip chili and the grilled chicken sandwich. The chili is really good! I'd defiantly order this again! The grilled chicken sandwich was good, the bun was perfect! The bar has a large outdoor area with tables set up to sit outside, perfect for evening time when the sun goes down but during the day and the sun is out each table has an umbrella. Over hearing others in the bar, they were loving the food. I will say the food is coming out fast. The only negative comment is AC seemed to maybe not working to blow cooler air but still was comfy. I looked at the Facebook page for bar and I can see why people have a good time here from the pictures post on the page. I will defiantly come back!!“

“Good food, great service!“

“Probably the best taproom in the world! Great selection of beer and cider, fantastic staff, low key, casual atmosphere. Love it here!“

“We ordered the three-piece fish and chips and the fish chunks basket, perfectly seasoned fresh and crispy. Bob , is a wonderful tender, cook and waiter. The menu also features clam strips prawns and fish Reuben hamburgers and other mouth-watering delights, come in and see Bob, you want leave hyngry or disappointed.“

“Classic dive bar with good food.“

“I just went into this little Bar ? briefly to use the restroom honestly but I was so blown away by the way the people in there were able to make me feel in such a short amount of time that I wanted to leave a review. ??
The bartender Stormi was totally kickass and down to earth; you could tell that her upbeat personality set the mood and everyone in there was feeling that same way. Everyone was so friendly, helpful and genuinely happy that I actually didn't want to leave... I almost never go to bars but, if you do; I'd definitely recommend trying this one. ??
Being friendly and caring really does go a long way and can do more for some people than you may know. ??
Thanks everyone in there today for turning my day around. ?“

“Flip the sign over when you leave, not the table.“

“I had a holiday special. I highly recommend your take the opportunity to experience these sliders. Cranberry cream cheese turkey sliders. They are great.“

“Been going to Stark Street pizza since I was a kid ! Have had so many celebrations here ! This weekend it was my sons first football game win and first baseball game win in one weekend ! Best Pizza in town and friendliest staff anywhere !!! It’s our families favorite hands down ! Always a great time ! 5 generations of my family have loved stark street pizza and counting !“

“From the moment you enter Wildhare, you feel like family, they know you by name and even remember what you eat. The staff is incredible, the food options are always a large variety to choose from and delicious everytime. Bonus points the owners are huge supporters of our local schools and youth sports. Both locations we dine at and love! Highly recommend.“

“Been coming here for years. I wouldn’t say that I am necessarily a regular, but this is the number one place I’ll go in town for halibut fish and chips. The best, freshly dipped and fried.

However, the $4 fountain economy cola in addition to the three dollar to-go fee was maybe enough to make me not want to go back. I was certainly surprised at my total when given my bill. The bartender on shift said the $3 to go fee was for the kitchen staff apparently but don’t mind the 20% tip I left in hopes that it would be shared with weight and kitchen staff. Getting charge extra because I am taking my food to go seems quite odd. I guess just a heads up would’ve been nice.“

“Their Taco Tuesday is great and their homemade salsas are fantastic!“

“Good place to go for playing pool. Alot of good players there late at night. 2 pool tables in nice condition. Expect a wait after midnight to play, sign your name on the board. Great group of people.Prices moderate. Not a very big place, so expect to bump elbows.“

“good people and cold beer.“

“Super great little spot. It's a cozy atmosphere and worth hanging out for a long time. I wish you could still smoke a cigar in here, it's a spot that would have been magical to smoke in. Bring a jacket, it's warm but not toasty.“

“Great atmosphere. Bartenders get a little over run at times but keep things clean and polite service during those times. It’s a nice place for a late night drink. Good food inside, and even better food from a food truck in the parking lot. All in all, a good place in SE Portland.“

“Friendly, neighborhood cafe-restaurant. Convenient location. Good burgers, specials and beverages.“

“Small pub with Oregon lottery games, cigarette sales, and beer and wine coolers by the 6 and 4 pack respectively can be purchased to go. Locals hangout with snack foods, limited liquor bar, and a few beers on tap. Good prices! Also this place has locals pot luck celebrations for patron birthdays, special events and holidays and sports events like the super bowl.

Parking: Ample off street parking in lot large enough for lot not to be full when the pub is packed.

Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair accessible with large wheelchair friendly handicap accessible restrooms.“

“Surprise! This place was a great discovery. They serve a fine breakfast, meaty or veggie heavy as you wish, the prices are better than city prices, and the waitress means it when she says "I'm on it." We will totally be back.

Parking: Plenty of space in the parking lot at least in the morning. There are a LOT of handicapped spots. It's easy to get back on the highway because you have a light.“

“This is one of my favorite bars. They have so many options with pool tables, and other games. Karaoke on certain days with very polite bar tenders. I enjoy admiring the three large fish tanks they have there it makes for a pleasant environment. I go here occasionally but I always have so many fun.“

“Came for food & karaoke while visiting my daughter & had a great time!“

“Fun karaoke bar (Tues & Thurs nights), staff is friendly, good food and drinks! There's a photo booth, pool tables, and shuffleboard in the back also

Kid-friendliness: Adults only!

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes“

“Totally solid lil’ neighborhood bar, lovely bartenders, lovely friendly customers everything one could hope for in a neighborhood dive bar EXCEPT the fries were terrible, kinda soggy, not what I would have hoped for in an otherwise flawless dive bar establishment.“

“My sister and I popped in here for lunch and were very pleased with the atmosphere and menu options. Food was very good and my Bloody Mary was great ....not all ice and made well. I asked for it "spicy" and it was just right in all ways.“

“What happened to the daughter. She's okay right.“

“It's a McMenamin's restaurant. Attach everything that goes with it: antique signage, proprietary arty atmosphere, wide variety of microbrews, and sturdy pub fare.
McMenamin's no longer cuts their own fries. I miss that terribly. These days, I find myself resorting to their tots, as their mass-produced shoestrings taste like sadness and missed opportunity. Seriously. DQ does fries better than McMenamin's nowadays. I feel like it's the end of an era.
Still and yet, their trademark burger offerings and high-quality ingredients don't disappoint. Their excellent variety of ciders and gf substitutions allow this seasoned pub ruminant-turned-cliche to still have a great experience. Don't expect a celiac-safe space. But intolerants should be fine.
Waitstaff are seasoned pros, and do a great job.
Glad to have this location in outer SE. It's an oasis in an otherwise big-box section of town.“

“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.“

“Excellent food! Had the fish and chips, my wife got a burger and so did my son. Really good meal, service was good and our server was friendly. Little slow, but everything was good!

Kid-friendliness: Had a kids menu that wasn’t just chicken strips and burgers“

“Great place to play pool and have a few drinks. Pool tables were high end and fairly new. New felt and plenty of chalk for the stick and hands. Servers were nice with a good ol fashion drink selection yet they scraped the heel of fairly modern. Good atmosphere. I would return for the tables anytime“
