50 Best Bars near Milwaukie

“Super fun place for Friday night Karaoke (or is that still supposed to be a secret)? Love the supportive, local atmosphere
Very entertaining as most of the singers are great and everyone gets mad respect for having the balls to grab the mic & croon it out. Been twice and would go again!“

“Love the new look (I hadn’t been in since 2022–it was much smaller), I have stopped in twice in the last week. Awesome experience both times, everyone is super friendly. Perfect spot to work, chill, date. Etc. I will definitely be back.“

“Great food Lisa is awesome Love them!!!!!!!!“

“I love the food! The best and most friendly service you will find anywhere in the area. Always a great place to go. I only wish I had found this place sooner.“

“Great food and service April is the best !“

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

“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!“

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

“The food is delicious, healthy, and will fill you up, but the real prize and appeal of this spot is the sweet family who own and run it. You’re greeted with a smile, and treated with warmth and patience and a genuine kindness. Easily the most welcomed I’ve felt eating out in a very long time. It really makes a difference. You won’t be disappointed.“

“This little wine bar is an absolute gem! They have an incredible selection for both tasting and purchase. I tried my very first bubbly red here, and it was delightful. The servers were warm, knowledgeable, and went above and beyond to help us find wines we’d love. The space itself is inviting, with beautiful art that makes you want to linger just a little longer. Highly recommend for wine lovers and anyone looking for a cozy, memorable spot in Portland.“

“Cozy neighborhood vibes. Had to remind myself it is a bar. Kinda loud, but then again it is a bar. Scored low on service because there is zero table service. You have to keep getting up to order at the bar. Good burger and fries. Trout chips and dip was different but tasty. Overall good experience.“

“This is mostly a beer/ale place as far as I could tell. Lots and LOTS of choices!!

I was looking for wine and found a nice Pinot Noir for a reasonable price.
They were serving my choice at the bar and was offered a taste before I bought it, very good.
I ended up ordering a full glass of the wine that i planned on buying. As I sipped my wine I had a delightful talk with the barkeeper
He knew all the small production beers that I liked from california ( my home state).
If you are on or near 23rd street Portland and looking for a comfortable, easy place to have a quality beer or wine, this is it.
To-go adult beverages are available, especially beers- there's a huge selection“

“Really fun lil spot to play video games with your friends. Lots of different platforms and plenty of vintage games to choose from.

Pricing was really reasonable for the amount of fun we had. Cocktails were delicious and the food was snackable.

Highly recommend their Thai tea cocktail!“

“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“

“The culinary experience offers a unique blend of flavors, celebrating Mexican and Thai influences. Each expertly crafted cocktail provides a narrative, carefully curated to captivate the palate. Guests are encouraged to savor the diverse options, allowing ample time for exploration. Complementing the drinks, a selection of enticing snacks is available to enhance the experience. Finally, the outstanding desserts provide a sweet conclusion to the memorable dining occasion.“

“Chill vibes, amazing food,quality drinks and atmosphere that is unmatchable !“

“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!“

“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!“

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

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

“Great live music here!!!!“

“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.“

“Warm cozy atmosphere, friendly service, fine cocktails.“

“What's not to love about Mayfly?! Mayfly always has one of the best draft and bottle selections in the Portland area that always feels new every time I come in. Prices are excellent, staff and the owner are wonderful people, and there are plenty of great events to check out each week. Also a great selection of food vendors during the weekend. I live in Vancouver and bike here regularly because It's my favorite spot within miles.“

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

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

“Such a fun, welcoming little bar! The food is absolutely delicious, the cocktails are lovingly crafted, and the HUGE game selection makes this place the best hidden gem on Main Street. Head up the stairs next to Versus and check it out for yourself!“

“Travel the world through cased meat! BEST“

“I first went for some tastings at their tent in Portland Farmer's market and loved it (bonus because it is women owned and operated) . My boyfriend bought a bottle there. Then we heard they served cocktails at their distillery. A group of 8 of us went to check it out and everyone loved their drinks for both rounds. Their Chai series is wonderful.“

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

“My go to spot for delicious drinks and scrumptious nibbles. The vibes are always great. The servers are all amazing especially Quintin and Johnny! This place is great on summer nights sitting outside or a winter day escaping the rain. It’s always a great time at The Love Shack!“

“I returned to Comala and Wow! What a pleasant surprise.

Stopped in just to take a little edge off hunger, not a full meal. I ordered a “quesadilla” and a Pacifico. It looked and tasted nothing like any quesadilla I ever had. It had a thick delicious sauce smothering whatever was underneath the sauce. I could not tell you what the sauce was because I’ve never enjoyed anything like it.

The server told me that three things between the tortilla (or crepe or whatever) and the sauce were squash.

Texture and deliciousness off the charts. If someone had just served this to me, I would never have called it a quesadilla, just “Damn good.”

Comala is a hidden gem, one of those where you don't want to tell people to keep it your own. On the other hand, the people there are so nice, you want to support them.

Great atmosphere, excellent food and cocktails.“

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

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

“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.“

“Gin gimlets were delicious“

“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.“

“Great place to watch all the San Francisco 49’er games!!! One of the 2 viewing sites for Niner Empire Beaverton. Great beers and pub grub“

“Great people to work and drink with!“

“F'n amazing people and amazing beer!“

“The Cajun fries were really good. I also had a yummy IPA.

We sat outside at the outdoor patio with our dogs and the staff was so nice. They got our dogs a bowl of water and even bit a dog treat in half themselves so they could each have a half.

We happened to be there for drag bingo which was so fun!“

“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❤️“

“Great vegan food and a fantastic bar. Love the ambiance and decor, too.“

“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“

“Best place for great drinks and amazing bartenders. Check it out Sat or Sunday nights and hang with Geoffrey . The cold brew coffee White Russian is amazing!!“
