50 Best Bar & Grill near Oak Grove

“Dined outside, the food was delicious. The nachos were amazing- generous toppings lots of guacamole and jalapenos and really good chips. Though they didn't have lemonade, the server improvised with real lemon and I think sugar or syrup and it was better than any other lemonade. My boyfriend's daughter had a melted cheese dish that was $8 and she kept saying, "this is better than McDonald's." High praise from an 8 year old!!“

“So pleased to have found a new great local bar with pleasant bartenders, tasty cocktails, and numbly chow (mac & cheese w bacon, fried chix sammich, &c.)“

“Out of the dozen pho places I've tried in PDX, this one was a surprise for sure. It's hands down my favorite and it's such a small, unassuming spot. The salt and pepper squid is also the best I've ever had. I cannot recommend this place enough“

“Amazing vibes, great food and drinks, fabulous events, and lovely folx.“

“It’s a great local dive bar, it has great food and feels comfy and safe. They have an awesome back patio area with heaters. The staff is friendly and welcoming, as is the normal crowd.“

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

“Every time I’m here, the food is so good (of course, I never go alone) and the atmosphere is very nice.“

“They have done a great job with Misfits. Great music and great staff!“

“nice place, great entrainment.“

“Was a cool spot, for sure. I went to get some late night food, but they told me the kitchen was serving a limited menu cuz they were too busy. That was a bummer. Was looking forward to an actual meal, but had to settle for tater tots. Lol. They were good, but not what I was hoping for.Drinks were good. The banana pudding shot packed a serious punch & was damn delicious. Found out that apparently the Dandy Warhols like Yur's Tavern as a good option in that part of town, & I suppose I would have to agree.Will likely stop back in next time I'm in that part of Portland. Maybe they'll be less busy & I can properly try something on the food menu.“

“Delicious food! Great atmosphere! An iconic Portland institution that needs our support. 40+ years in business and for good reason. Cassidy’s is all that was and is right about Portland...“

“Great food, karaoke, music, dancing, pool, drinks, fun fun fun“

“I gave Bar Maven another try to see if things have improved since my last visit a couple years ago.

A few things definitely have improved! The layout is more cozy, the bartenders are more friendly, and it's attracting a really nice crowd from all walks of life. It also seems cleaner than it used to be.

We went on a Friday happy hour this time. The bartender was friendly, the beer and vibe was great! The only thing that seemed like it needed some improvement was keeping up with food orders, and checking in on guests a little more.

There was a mistake with our order and we appreciate that the owner came out and talked to us.

I think Bar Maven is an important little spot in our community, and is very close to becoming a great bar. We'll be back!“

“Great stop with specials. Service and clientele friendly. Really enjoyed the out of the way location for out of the area travelers! We're from out of state.
Kudos to this "dive bar" (that's what one of the waiters called it") we enjoyed and recommend it for travelers looking for real and nice people!“

“Great neighborhood dive - with great atmosphere and staff. My wife and I don't get to come here too often with young kids, but when we do we have a great time! Decent tap selection, haven't eaten here in years but it was solid from “

“Great place to watch sports. The food here is subpar for Vietnamese cuisine—but their customer service is great. They offer a decent selection for tap beers, and cocktails. Video poker isn’t usually packed either so you could always find a machine to play on—or play pool/darts if you’re not into gamble.Been coming here for over 10+ years, and I have to admit that this is my go-to bar when I’m in SouthEast PDX. Will definitely continue to support this establishment for many years to come.“

“We were there tonight for dinner for the first time!!! The dinner was amazing and the staff was outstanding!!! We will be back soon!!! Thank you for an amazing night!!!“

“Love The Dugout. Service is great. Friendly staff. We come here every week and we feel like family. Kaylee is absolutely amazing. She alone is a reason to stop by. So friendly. Feel like we have been friends for years. Food is priced right. Wings and tots are worth it. Karaoke is fun and low pressure. This is our spot.“

“This is a neighborhood bar in the best sense. People are friendly, staff are awesome, kitchen is quick and the food is good. This is a place for regulars and if you're lucky they'll feel chatty and you get that experience of being one of them.“

“Had girls brunch so much fun and very friendly staff…“

“Good service and atmosphere. Nice restaurant and bar“

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

“A solid bar experience with a descent menu. We were quite late in the day but the staff was amazingly helpful and efficiently filled our order. Food was good and appreciated after a long day.
Some good beers on tap and a comfortable atmosphere and comfortable seating. This is a solid selection for dining or just winding down.“

“Come here all the time for AYCE breakfast! it's delicious and fills me up for the rest of the day. Ross always has my first bloody Mary ready for me soon as I walk in the door. I love the atmosphere and stellar customer service.“

“For some reason I always forget just how great Virginia Cafe is. And then I go in and order a drink and a burger and wonder why I’m not here more often. Great food, great atmosphere, great location. What more can you ask for? Seriously, come by for a bite if you are in Downtown Portland at all.“

“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. ?“

“Great Music and amazing food! Highly recommend“

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

“Awesome course, driving range, excellent service, good food, course is in great shape Can not wait to play a round of golf here!“

“Awesome little local sports bar with good-to-very-good food and the bartenders are the best and know how to pour 'em!

Parking: There's a parking lot you can totally use about a block away ?

Kid-friendliness: They're nice to kids, you just have to sit in the front room.“

“You gotta have their fish and chips - try it with their sweet potato fries and ranch dressing - you'll think you've died and gone to heaven!“

“The food is well above what you would expect for a bar. We go there often for a drink, but rarely get a meal because we are pescatarian (love the appetizers though!). Today, we were thrilled because we asked the chef gal if she would make us a fish sandwich and she went out of her way to make us happy, even coming out several times to clarify what we wanted. It was an amazing sandwich and we hope they’ll add it to the menu! Also, our friend asked for fry sauce and the chef went back and whipped some up for her. Her and the bartender were much more accommodating than you’d expect for a bar (or even for many restaurants). I can’t recommend this place enough, and I whole heartedly think the staff amplify the experience.“

“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.“

“great music this evening! Where were you?“

“Rode down to Portland to meet a brother.... and everyone there was great.... our waitress was team Riff'Raff and was absolutely divine... best waitress ever. Regret not getting her name. the Food was goos too!“

“I was in Pappy’s last night for dinner.the second I walked through the door I was treated like family. My bartender,Tasha made me one of her own creations which she calls the Cirtini. Don’t know what is in it but it looks amazing and delicious. It is a little sweet but it sneaks up on you. Next time you in there and Tasha is working I highly recommend you try her Critini. While I was there I had ordered a club sandwich which was like a taste of heaven! And the atmosphere is amazing the way the lights are turned down low it gives off a very warm romantic energy almost like a seductive sexual energy. I tried my luck at some video lottery hands but I lost however I got to watch others hit left and right. Did better at billiards. The bathrooms are clean but not wheelchair accessible they are too small, take it from someone like myself who is wheelchair bound. Now the parking lot is handicapped accessible and so is the doorway.

Wheelchair accessibility: See the posting above. Mentioned in the article“

“Great public course. Well maintained“

“I've come in there several times . Never really feeling comfortable because most of the employees are busy visiting with regulars and people they know They might offer you something to drink once in a while. Until ERICKA !!! She gives excellent customer service (this 5 star rating is for her) I was in there the other day and she was calling every single person by name. She us wonderful. You are very lucky to have her as an employee. I hope your paying her a decent wage because if not I would snatch her up in a heartbeat . She gives excellent customer service. I guarantee you that she is what brings alot of your business in. Thank you Erika for making me feel welcome!“

“thumbs up in Multnomah village“

“I am proud to recommend Mrs Craig Vanessa for a selfless and reliable investment service. I was constantly looking for a reliable platform to invest and my friend introduced me to her platform and I realized this is the best platform to invest on because she maintains discipline in her investment relationship and strategies to ensure the complete transparency and credibility of her investors. She helped me gained $16,000 with just a capital of $2,000. If you want to be financially successful invest with her ASAP via WhatsApp through Facebook: Mrs Craig Vanessa“

“Great sports bar with a fun and engaging staff, and customers that keep the atmosphere fun. Never had a bad experience, family friendly and respectful of all the letters in the alphabet. Good portion sizes, thoughtfully prepared food, and a whole bunch of screens with all the games playing. The summer menu drink menu is amazing with weekly slushy specials that actually have booze in them unlike the usual Portland slushies that are basically just koolaid. I’d give it five stars if the hash browns were crisper, lol.“

“We had the pleasure of two ladies training that did such a food job we couldn't tell who was the trainer. The Governor wrap with bacon and fries was amazing! Great portions- at least 300% bigger portion's than my last review. Best lunch date with mom in a long time!“

“We sat at the bar. I had a burger and he had ribs. Everything was very tasty! Counters were a little dirty but nothing horrible. The best part was how friendly the other patrons were. Extremely chatty folks and seemed to be enjoying themselves. We will go back.“

“Consumate dive bar, but in a good way. Great place to play pool for the first time, and the live band karaoke was a blast to hear in the other room! I like that the pool tables are away from the main floor so that there's plenty of space.“

“Hands down, best Prime Rib Dip (French Dip)of my life. Could take or leave the mozzarella sticks and fried pickles. But the prime rib dip so far out shadows the mediocrity of the sides that it deserves a 5/5. The huckleberry lemon drop was also exceptional and the vodka tonic fully met my expectations. But the Tuesday special prime rib dip was so good I’ll be back just for that! Service was also exceptionally responsive.

Parking: Easy to find a spot on a Tuesday night“

“At this point I'll call myself a regular, my husband and I love this place and it's the only place in the neighborhood that dose the chicken fried steak, and their garlic toast, yummm! The bartenders are so sweet and attentive, easy to conversate with and usually it's pretty laid back here, sure it can get loud at times, but what bar can't, right?;I love this place so much I'd work here... Lol ❤️“

“amazing place great staff“

“This is what a bar should be about, the service is super awesome, Dave is a great bartender, and the atmosphere is very old time bar feels. Food is not overpriced and you get nice and full. A lot of Portland bars are really modernized and expensive for not much, this here is a real bar.“

“Going to start strong with cost effectiveness and ambiance, prices most commonly range from 4.75-8 dollars. Thursdays are all day happy hour, and each drink has over 2 oz of the hard alcohol added! Willing to make tall w/out cost increase. Best lemon drops (I always ask for a lot of sugar since I can't handle the taste of alcohol) and only 3.75 during happy hour, Malibu's are only 5.50!Really nice bartender, gives great suggestions, and is so nice they'll cook fries up until 11:30pm! I always leave a little more than tipsy during happy hour with 11.25 dollars of drinks under my belt (3 drinks). At most, it would cost 15 for drinks and 7 for a full thing of fries. Amazing service and relaxed atmosphere (I usually go around 11pm, but I recommend more than an hour to properly access billiards and other activities). Their music leans into a rock vibe, it's the only bar I've been to that makes me feel 100% comfortable.They have shuffle board, billiards, darts, and video poker. The lighting is darker with many TVs, and a lot of the furniture works amazing with the ambiance of the lighting. Overall 10/10! I recommend this to anyone who leans more introverted, I recommend going early if you want more people to talk to, but otherwise, come within the last 2.5 hours for a more introverted friendly experience. It's also 21+.Make sure to tip your bartender well. They seriously deserve it! (Each time I've gone, there's only been one bartender, I'll update with proper pronouns once I get informed. I struggle with being personal level social until after a couple of visits)“
