50 Best Bars near Happy Valley

“Classic dive bar with good food.“

“I love the girls that work here. Sofia during the days is always so friendly and efficient. You don't even have to ask. She's always right there offering if you want a drink. The night shift, Jen is awesome. So friendly. Amazing place to have a drink and gamble. Nice atmosphere“

“There are few "safe" dive bars on 82nd. This is one of them. Still, it's a dive, so don't expect much! Pool table in the front, bar runs the length of the space and a patio out back. If you're looking for food, Mexican food truck in the parking lot. Stop by sometime.“

“Dotty's , is there a better place to unwind and probably win a Lil $$$ ?? Listen $3.50 for a decent burger and fries , $5 shots of Ice cold Patron` . I guarantee you will not find this Top shelf Tequila sold at this price ($5) ANYWHERE else in the greater PDX. Have fun see ya there....“

“Always a good fun atmosphere! Just fun to kick back enjoy friends and family!“

“One of my favorite bars in Portland. Perfect date spot. Beautiful interior and back patio. Great lighting. Good cocktails, I love that they have mini mixed shots for like $7.

For how fresh and delicious most of their menu items are, I was surprised at the burger quality - I’m almost certain it was a frozen patty, which seems so unlike this spot. I could be wrong, it just didn’t taste like what the price point makes it seem you’re getting. That said, everything else I’ve eaten here is fantastic.“

“Clever and custom cocktails. They all taste fantastic and the bartenders will give solid recommendations. So happy to have such a cool place in my neighborhood!“

“I can't stop thinking about the celery salad and the warm olives“

“Long time lover of the Ethiopian food in Portland. This place tops them all for us.

The wife and I make this a weekly date spot.

Lentil Sambusa

“Reminds me of NYC, really cool place to grab a drink. Turns info a nightclub after 10 PM“

“Favourite bar of the trip! Great beer list, absolutely incredible amount of games you can play on a bunch of different systems. The staff of super friendly and helpful in picking out games for you. The rock band room was also super fun to rent out“

“I love the staff and feel of Tomorrow's Verse. It is relaxing in a sweet neighborhood. Food is fine, not so great for GFers. The great thing is you can bring food in from restaurants in the area if you want something different. TJ the owner, is just friendly enough with some East Coast flair. Always a good time at TV! Xoxo“

“Absolutely a wonderful time whether casual or just fun and a quick drink! Very nice staff and food was amazing! Matt, the bartender was very helpful!! Great Paninis and desserts and soup!! I will be back for sure!!!!“

“We’ve enjoyed some celebrations at this beautiful space! The menu works for all and their drinks are so well done!“

“Diego made my experience. Been so long since I’ve been to a bar in fopo with the full customer service experience! I was having a bad day and he turned it around. I never leave reviews but had to because of him! He’s fast, efficient, and still found time to sling me some of the best drinks I’ve had in Portland and cheer me up with his kindness!“

“A perfect hideaway tiki bar! Looks like nothing from the outside, and then you walk into a themed dreamscape. Fantastic decor and experience that's a throwback to vintage tiki bars. Legit menu for rum enthusiasts, but the snackies were great, too.

Our server (Nathaniel, I think he said) was a proper mixologist who made helpful suggestions and was a joy to chat with and watch as he crafted drinks.

Thanks for a very fun time!“

“Had a very special time with our group of five. Adam made the whole experience easy and fun!“

“Great live music here!!!!“

“As a visitor from South Carolina (aka Trumpistan), I am thrilled to know places like this establishment actually exist. We have no such refuges in my region. It’s so refreshing to mingle with people who value good drinks, good politics, and good society.
Thank you thank you for making my visit to Portland memorable.
Thank you for supporting and defending your community so well.
Thank you for just being good humans.
Solidarity!“

“Much bigger inside than you would think. So happy there is live music. Regulars make you feel welcome.“

“Nice outdoor patio with plenty of seating. Great neighborhood vibe!“

“Travel the world through cased meat! BEST“

“dog friendly inside and out. great selection of beer and hot sauces. reasonably priced and a great staff and atmosphere“

“We tasted a couple of flights and a glass of Pét Nat each, it was a really lovely experience. Fairly priced. Calm and cool atmosphere with some nice music. Each table has an assortment of obscure Trivial Pursuit cards which was such a fun, silly addition to the experience. We also ordered the truffle almonds to break up the wine a bit and they were very tasty.
The person who prepared our flights was very knowledgeable and friendly. This was a Sunday afternoon, I wish I could remember their name because he really did top off the experience.“

“Fun time. A bit of a wait, so go early.“

“Great place to hang with friends and delicious beverages!“

“I make a stop at the Bye & Bye every time I’m in town! Once a year, but totally worth it!!“

“Nice place for a beer and a burger while watching soccer“

“Goodbar should be Greatbar. Laurie, the owner, is delightful. There need to be more Laurie's in the world. Their namesake burger hit the spot, their fries are delicious, and their fried pickle spears are a perfect late night treat. We will definitely be back.“

“Gin gimlets were delicious“

“Great people to work and drink with!“

“F'n amazing people and amazing beer!“

“Extremely well curated tap list featuring Oregon legends, west coast collabs and new upcoming brewers and cider makers. The rotating cider list is especially great. The owner and staff are knowledgeable and super friendly. It truly is an exceptional neighborhood spot and it was sorely needed.“

“where to start, we are big good truck goers. A family of 5. makes it great when everyone can get what they want. This place is beautiful, they had a handful of trucks (more coming) but the options were definitely a mix. Something for everyone for sure. The Cuban food truck is a 10/10 highly recommend! The Cuban sandwich was the best sandwich ive had in a long time. Do yourself a favor and give it a try. My husband and kids had burgers, corn dogs, and chicken strips. The burgers were huge. super great flavor, (adding lamb burgers to the menu soon) super excited to come back to try those. Lets talk drinks, I like a good spicy cocktail, however most "full bars" offer Tabasco to spice up my drink. I hate that. I prefer a spicy tequila or a muddled jalepeno. This place has bitters. This was hands down the best spicy margarita (the house margarita with spicy bitters) that I have had since I've been out here. They have have a changing station in the bathroom. a pinball room, and a kids toys section. For families like us, little kids, picky eater, the FULL bar. This is by far the best food truck place we have went to.“

“Comfortable booths, tiki cocktails, fun karaoke on Saturday night.“

“Great food and atmosphere❤️“

“Low Tide Lounge has the kind of laid-back atmosphere that makes you want to stay a while. The empanadas and nachos were delicious, the micheladas were on point—and best of all, the jukebox and pool table are both free.

What more could you want???“

“One of my all time favorite bars“

“Have only been blessed with food from here twice, recently with some tomato soup and bread someone dropped off at camp which was really good and about 5 or 6 years ago one of the ladies there hooked me up with an elk burger that was incredible. Makes me happy that I spend time cleaning up the area after all the folks that toss the fast food trash out the door before driving home

Parking: Can be a little tricky as the parking for most businesses in the area is side street parallel. There's a large lot next door for McDonald's but they've been known to tow people, part of the lot is out in front of over and out but I'm not sure if that's McDonald's as well. There is a lot at 81st and Washington at Milwaukee lumber where it's ok to park after 5pm up to around 630am and one across 81st at atc autobody but watch for broken glass in that one esp near Dumpsters“

“This place was so cool. I got the burger, which was good but probably not the best burger I’ve ever had. The fries were pretty nice actually and seasoned with a lot of pepper. However the rest of their menu looks great and I want to come back and try more items. The bartenders were super friendly and more than willing to make alterations to drinks and provide recommendations. But the vibe is immaculate. It’s what Sugar Hill wants to be.“

“The Montavilla Mic returns on April 8th.“

“Best Pina Colada in town food is amazing nice staff outdoor dinning only super fun atmosphere“

“a great night all around.“

“Good vibe, drink and atmosphere.“

“My place to go for the arsenal games“

“I really enjoyed my visit here. I’m new to cigars but I felt comfortable, and El Borracho is the best cigar I’ve had so far. I’m glad they have a patio because I wouldn’t be able to sit inside. It was a relaxing experience and I’ll be back.“

“…when you know, you know…secrets out Good people Great drinks Even better vibes“

“Great vibes and an excellent happy hour from 5-7pm. All of the cocktails were delicious and very affordable. The grilled cheese and tomato soup combo were great on a gloomy day, with the soup being slightly on the salty side, but still a great dish.
Inside is pretty dark, but the back patio was a nice space to hang out while still light out.“

“Some of the best and most delicious cocktails in Portland can be found at this fantastic and quaint neighborhood restaurant. The service was fast and friendly...and the outdoor space is a perfect (and safe) place to enjoy a Portland summer. We will be back!!“
