“i have played pool out of this establishment for over 13 years. always great food and great service.“

“I guess since Covid they don’t make the super fancy Bloody Mary’s, so something to be aware of if you’re on the hunt. It came with a piece of asparagus and two olives, not bad, just not the over the top we had hoped for.“

“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.“

“The Reubens were delicious, but the highlight was definitely the chocolate chip cookie. It may be the best cookie I've ever had from a restaurant!“

“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.“

“Great place, and bartender was amazing.“

“Toll, das auch! Oder? ？？“

“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!“

“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 lobby gives ample room, impeccable hygiene, and a soft welcome, as staff breeze through check-in with smooth expertise and true friendliness that melts away any road weariness.

“First Thursday every month, the venue showcases young artists. I am 68 years old and I came to see a 25 year old kid from my neighborhood. I had a blast. So much love and talent. I highly recommend for dates and for older folks that want to see the good in our young folks. I was treated like a queen and loved it.“

“I just had a really delicious bowl of (Boston style) clam chowder at Three Mermaids Public House in Tigard. It was so creamy, and comforting; and the small bits of bacon gave it over-the-top goodness. Honestly, all the food at this welcoming pub is worth trying, but I hadn’t expected to enjoy a bowl of soup as much as I did this one!“

“Came in for a tripel, and unfortunately their selection had shrunken a bit. Nonetheless, I had a tasty Gulden Drak, followed by a Chara's Yelliw Card margarita. Great vibes, awesome staff, and they were bumping Tribe Called Quest Midnight Marauder album.“

“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!“

“It has the small town....but worldly feel.
Katie and Sammy are the best sirens of the night. If we just had the back smoke rack...with plants (that the regulars would take care of) growing all through the brick brack.... again, JS.“

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

“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?!“

“Came down from Edmonton, Alberta for my friends wedding and had such a blast frequenting this place during my stay. People of Portland, I salute you. Great vibes all around the city, and especially this place! Ps. Sorry if I hit anyone with a pool ball or was too loud! Cheers ya'll..“

“What a great selection of beers!“

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

“The vibes are awesome, I go there and hang out with friends, and the bartenders are such sweet and amazing people. One time, the bartender (I forgot his name, i feel so bad he's the best) noticed I was having a headache and brought me water without even thinking about it. It's a really nice area, and they let your dogs in :)“

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

“Fantastic service and great food. Try this place if you haven’t yet.“

“The poutine was just OK. They need to add pocked 9 ions and pickled jalapenos as standard and allow you to take them off if you don't like them. Also, the best poutine I have had has braised beef or pulled pork or some sort of meat to balance all the flavors.

The beer was very good. I tried their reserve stuff and their bourbon barrel aged beer and they were pretty good - all of them.“

“There are a lot of hard working people keeping this a safe place to engage with others. Expect tea, coffee, drafts, and good company. 👍👍👍

The new porch is great to hang out on and the back porch is also nice and cozy. There is a library upstairs that has some great literature.“

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

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

“This place is absolutely wonderful. I love it. The cheeseburger slider and the cajun tots are always tempting. Our absolute favorite location so far.

The drinks are also great and excellently crafted. The rotating seasonal food and drinks are always a plus and keep us coming back for more.“

“A good bar to go and play video poker, enjoy some drinks play pool and overall have a great time by yourself or with friends and also a great place to make friends its also very conveniently close to where I live. I definitely would recommend this pub to anyone who is seeking a good time.“

“Great hh pizza! Crust is a Lil puffy a Lil crispy a Lil stretchy.
I had the papermaker pale. Wow! Well poured, gold colored beauty, tastes like a beer dream, lightly piney on top, then a smoothly carbonated descent to hopville.. brilliant!
They treat you right at the Rudder, so close to the Willamette it probably barely stayed dry in ancient days. But they dont get you muddy. Kick back be patient they will row out to you.
Tune into the vibe here. Becalmed.“

“Awesome spot! Superb selection of beers and cozy!

2026 UPDATE!!!🧐🐳💕

“great space, nice pool tables, awesome selection of fine drinks, great decor, awesome DJ and shows! plus, Giant Jenga!“

“Great addition to the South Waterfront.“

“Chill atmosphere and tasty food and beer“

“I've been going here for over 25 years. And of all the places in the entire world, this is one of my favorites.

The best part of going here is the staff.

I can tell you with 100% certainty these are some of the best bartenders in Portland.
Also, the quality of alcohol that McMenamins offers is second to none and probably some of the best in the world.
I often send it as gifts to friends abroad I can't believe the quality of the spirits.

I also enjoy the gift shop and it's usually open late.
If you want to get a cafe you can get one in the main courtyard restaurant to wrap out a wonderful evening.

What sets this place apart is the amazing amount of detail that you see all over at the Kennedy School property.
If you look online you can actually look up the designer and yes everything is crafted to suit even the landscaping is impeccable.

One of the best things to get here if you want to eat here is breakfast.

Lunch and dinner can be hit or miss but they do use the highest quality ingredients.

There is plenty of parking as well.
It can get busy but you're guaranteed to find some place to park.

They also have a variety of cigars in the cigar lounge and the gift store and the smoking areas located out in front.

One of my favorite parts of this facility is the fireplaces and I do enjoy them quite often.

Also make sure to bring a camera because there's so many things to take photos of here and there are a plethora a photo taking opportunities throughout the school.

This place also has a movie theater by the way, and the most comfiest seats you're ever going to sit in.

They also use real coconut oil in the popcorn and the popcorn is probably the best you're going to get in this neighborhood.

The gift shop is jam-packed with all sorts of great gifts and I routinely go here to get thank you gifts.
Selections change often so it's always up to date and fresh and there's always something new.

There's actually a small like mini hot tub type pool here as well.

There are often lots of events that are held here, and it's a joy to attend.

By the way if you like pinball they even have a pinball machine.

Of all the McMenamins I've been to this and edgefield are probably my favorite.
But I like McMenamins Kennedy School the best.“

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

“Great people to work and drink with!“

“The Dullahan is one of the most welcoming spots around. It has a cozy Irish pub feel, with warm wood interiors, a fireplace, an inviting bar, and great outdoor seating for nice weather. There’s also a fun downstairs area with games, shuffleboard, darts, and a TV.

They have a solid beer list, including Guinness on tap, plus a good selection of Scotch and Irish whiskey. The food covers the pub classics: Fish N’ Chips, Shepherd’s Pie, and Bangers & Mash - and the Bavarian Bangers and Brussels Sprouts are especially worth trying.

It’s a great place to meet friends or bring the family, whether you’re stopping in for a meal, drinks, or both.“

“What can you say? All of their locations are basically the same. And that's what I love. Consistency. Our server was fabulous and funny. The pretzel and cheese sauce were friggin awesome! The Cajun tots were insanely coated in seasoning (thank goodness for the cool Ranch sauce). And the beer was cold! It was fun sitting upstairs and being able to look down into the kitchen as they prepared our food. We will definately be back!“

“Good Vibes and staff is friendly.“

“This place is something special. First time I've ever felt like really spending time in a bar. I don't go to bars and I don't write reviews. The 13th Moon has me doing both. Anybody that had a negative experience, earned one.“

“An absolute treasure of an establishment! The beer is cold and poured perfectly. Food is top notch and the service is attentive and friendly. Stop in and grab a pint, a bite and a solid conversation with a patron. I have a wonderful time, every time, and look forward to the next visit.“

“Portland’s oldest Irish Pub! Plus the best Irish Coffee I’ve had on this side of the pond. 5 outa 5!“

“The Italian sub is the best I have ever eaten! Super friendly and great service. Thanks Theo for the friendly chat on your break. Great place Jeri and James!“

“amazindg anddwichs. Paul is an artisan!“

“Friendly staff and patrons, rotating outstanding beers. Also hundreds of different cans and bottles in the coolers for drinking on site or taking home.“
