“Classic dive bar with good food.“

“Rose City Book Pub hosted us for a show and they were amazing. The staff worked SO hard to take care of us, especially since they weren’t expecting a huge group of wizard rockers to descend upon their establishment. What a cool venue, and so welcoming. Thank you thank you thank you!“

“Great place, and bartender was amazing.“

“Fun atmosphere, friendly service and great food and spirits!“

“Things to dig about the Record Pub: - Music for every type of listener. -Bar to sit down for a drink and think about what records you need to add to your arsenal. -Staff to talk about your selections with. -Educated suggestions for additional beats based upon the ensuing conversation of music you’ll have with the bartender. -Finishing another beverage all happy and giddy about the new vinyl you’re taking home.“

“We loved this cider place the ciders we’re all really good“

“Always predictably good. Solid pub food, love the soups and salads too. It’s our neighborhood favorite. They haven’t raised their prices which means the value is amazing! .“

“The Big Bottom burger was very delicious 😋. The service was great and friendly.“

“With its odd location in a neighborhood scarred by the modernization of Portland this is a truly interesting little bar.
As a part of the McMenamins company it would traditionally be a place I would avoid however, as a resident of the Boise neighborhood and living along Mississippi I have found that this bar is by far and away the most comfortable, welcoming and relaxing bar in the entire area. Forget the trendy bars on upper Mississippi with their excessively rude bartenders and try out this place. Weather it’s a weekend and it’s filled with people off to see a great show or a week night where it’s a slower pace it never fails to hold an energy of that lost neighborhood bar. Also, the bartender Janice possesses an excellent presence of self and has always given me the most friendly and warm service.“

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

“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!)“

“Had the best time at their Halloween party last night. The band FooVana was so fun and great crowd! Food was decent and I’ve had better there in the past. Pizza’s are great here.“

“You cannot say anything bad about please place, sorry. They are one of the best kept secrets in Portland.“

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

“We had great service and food. Good bloody Mary's.“

“Absolutely love Sellwood Saloon! This place is a gem in every way possible. The owners are fantastic - welcoming, friendly, and truly passionate about what they do. The bartenders are not only skilled at mixing drinks but also energetic and funny, making every visit a memorable experience. The atmosphere is simply fantastic - cozy and inviting, perfect for a night out with friends or a relaxing drink after work. If you're looking for a place with great vibes, top-notch service, and an all-around fantastic experience, Sellwood Saloon is the place to be. 5 stars all the way!“

“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. ?“

“I really need to apologize to the person that I criticized for having 80s shoulder pads tonight, I’m just jealous I grew up with linebacker shoulders (but couldn’t ever play football)- I can’t pull off that jacket. This bar is fantastic and the service cannot be compared. If you want to play a game of pool, or maybe sit and write… you can be your best self“

“Great hangout spot to meet with friends and play pool“

“This bar is amazing. John and Alan are two of the friendliest barkeeps I've ever had the pleasure meeting. Keep up the fantastic work! Great place to socialize and even throw birthday parties - I've made some good memories at SRP.“

“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.“

“1st time stop in. Husband had club sandwich and I had a Fire Burger. Both were delicious with handcut fries! The house Bloody Mary was also great! Amazing meal for under $50.“

“This is my favorite place in Portland. I love the open mics, the trans community events, the potlucks, and the openness of the space. Every time I walk in, I feel welcome. The worker-owners are caring and kind people. The giraffe is definitely a fun added touch - but my favorite part of the Tap is definitely the community. This place has singlehandedly motivated me to stay in Portland.“

“Everything is great except for one of the male bartenders.“

“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.“

“I love this place- people are so nice,and there's just a relaxed atmosphere. I don't go to bars much,however I look forward to going to this place. There's an outside terrace party area with heaters...Just love it!!!

Parking: Parking is on street- not hard to find a place...but you'll have to use side streets...but I've never had any problems!“

“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?!“

“Good Vibes and staff is friendly.“

“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.“

“We had an amazing time at our monthly Dive Bar Networking meeting! Thank you Firehouse Pub for your hospitality & great service! And the grace for putting up with 34 networkers being loud with laughter. Great group. Great Pub.“

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

“Love this bar! It was my birthday on the 24th of October, had friends and family here - had a blast! No dreams, chill and fun atmosphere. I’m here often and will continue to come. Everyone that works here is friendly, goes above and beyond - definitely recommend!“

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

“Good food, great service!“

“Cool atmosphere in an old elementary school. Great vibe, adequate food, wonderful drinks.
I got lost looking for a bathroom, wandered by a working library and a hot swimming pool of happy people laughing and jumping around. Very cool grounds for walking and getting lost in.

Was there for the food only. Great cider and great beer choices. Again, food adequate but not the reason to go.“

“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!!“

“I usually give most places 5 stars for atmosphere but if I could give more.
This place is amazing, the decor and warm lighting makes The Muddy Rudder a perfect restaurant for date night, dinner with the family, or just a break from all your troubles.
Wide selection of pizza, calzones, and beverages (fountain drinks, tea, and of course, booze.)
If you’re in town definitely take the opportunity to satisfy your hunger for all that this wonderful city has to offer and try The Muddy Rudder Pub.

Vegetarian options: My vegetarian mother comes here with the rest of the family and enjoys it as much as the rest of us.

Parking: Can be a little difficult to find parking during peak hours but trust me when I say, it’s worth it. 100 percent.

Kid-friendliness: Meh. As long as they’re quiet.

Wheelchair accessibility: There is a ramp on the north side of the building for access to the patio and bar.“
