Bars near Oak Grove

“They have great service, great food and amazing Steaks! Love this place“

“What an adorable hidden gem! Just off McLaughlin Boulevard, this cozy little bar is a must-visit. The bartenders are fantastic, serving up amazing drinks that hit the spot every time. Plus, the patio is a blast with a giant Jenga set—perfect for a fun, laid-back evening!“

“Great place to unwind ... machines seem to hit here more often which is good for the pockets ... And between Terri and Mandi the bartender attendants the service is on time an awesome.... Food.Beer.VPoker is a mix of good times and helps the spirits heal from the negative BS ...??“

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

“Love this place. We've been a few times and both the drinks and desserts are so so delicious! Recommend reservations but not required. Seating is a little tight for larger parties, but I've seen them make it work. Ideal for parties of 2-3.“

“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!“

“Great people, fun atmosphere“

“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.“

“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“

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

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

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

“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!“

“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!“

“Great live music here!!!!“

“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“

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

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

“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!“

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

“I came in late afternoon/early evening on July 4th. They were busier than expected and the staff absolutely crushed it. Shoutout to Chris behind the bar and John in the kitchen. Great people, great at their jobs. Never had a bad experience here and I’ve been coming in on and off for years!“

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

“Great Pork Steak with Spatzle and Veggie Risotto!“

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

“Ever since they let me try a duck fat washed whiskey they were playing with, I was a fan for life. Wish they served the hot dogs specials till closing though, that's all. 🤘 Kyle Kinane said he was eye flucking my chicken sandwich once, that was a ku de gras.“

“Gin gimlets were delicious“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“a great night all around.“

“From our nine year old: Amazing service and great mocktails! We went during the make your own Gimbap and it was absolutely amazing!!“

“At the risk of sounding cliche, I wish I could give the service 10 stars. I’ve never experienced a better Portland bar service, they’re always friendly, they make killer classic drinks and excellent twists on classics with very high quality ingredients and craftsmanship. When you consider the quality of the food, drinks and service combined I would say this is in my mind the best bar in Portland. They have a small kitchen but always deliver on everything they make. Please don’t come here I like having it to myself!“

“Excellent spot for drinks and beers. Nice outside patio with umbrellas and tables. The interior is charming and reminiscent of a Parisian Cafe. Friendly service and food available from The Baghdad Theater. 3 stars for the food which I consider very expensive for simple fare.“

“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.“

“Immaculate vibes and delicious sandwiches.
Seriously, they’ve nailed the dark gothic / Victorian atmosphere for those feeling moody and also have beautiful outdoor seating to enjoy the weather.

The sandwiches really couldn’t be better and the extra step of chilling the beer mugs is a much appreciated touch.“

“Such a cool bar! It had a nice ambiance and the cocktails were so unique. Our bartender was very friendly and was happy to tell me about areas in Portland when I told him my husband and I would be moving to Portland. I can't remember the names of our cocktails but they were very good! Mine had a pho wash which I was skeptical about when I ordered it but it was incredible. Highly recommend!“

“I really love it here. This true cocktail bar in the heart of our neighborhood that runs late night was needed. Thank you to all the people that make Dream House happen. The cocktails rock. The food rocks. The people rock. If you aren’t coming here you don’t get it! Thanks. “

“We got lucky and caught them when they weren't insanely busy the first time we tried their chicken. Go for the thighs! The juiciest chicken we've ever had.

The next time we tried to stop in, it was absolutely slammed. Didnt even walk inside. 😅“

“Charming ambiance, phenomenal meal, and excellent service. Thank you Abigail for waiting on us. I regret it's taken us so long to find our way back here. Still as great as it was a few years ago. That's a testament to a great owner and team. We really enjoyed the bruschetta appetizer, creative mocktails, the king salmon and Dungeness crab pasta specials, and the best tiramisu in all of Portland! See you again soon!“

“I had driven by here a couple times and never stopped because it didn't look that great from a moving car. Finally stopped in this weekend and it was a lot better than I would have guessed. Good food, good drinks, good vibe, nice (and pretty big) front patio. Will definitely come here again.“

“This was a very very cool spot to hangout and have a few cocktails while we waited for our dinner reservation elsewhere. They had a wonderfully curated cocktail menu and everything was mixed with care. The staff was attentive, knowledgeable, and kind. Thanks again guys! Excited to visit again the next time I'm in the Portland area“

“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.“

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

“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“

“Fantastic! I wast there when it opened under new management and it was with the trip from Maine.“

“Travel the world through cased meat! BEST“

“Solid four star experience. Went in the middle of the day for a burger and wasn't disappointed. Burger was presented nicely, had a nice taste, bun was good, fresh fixings, and melted cheese.

Also got their fried pickle spears. Those were damn good.

Bartender was attentive, friendly, and did her job just fine.

I did enjoy the ambiance and will return to play some pinball and shuffleboard.“

“Great people to work and drink with!“
