50 Best Bar & Grill in Portland

“Love this spot. The bartender is the coolest bartender ever. The drinks is good. The food is good. I love that their chicken strips is dipped in their own batter and not the already frozen strips. Spacious, nice chill atmosphere. Games, slot machines. Perfect bar spot!“

“Best bar in SE! Those Andrews took the best care of us with phenomenal craft cocktail & delicious food. Thanks for the great evening from me and the wife 😘💗😘“

“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.“

“Most fabulous inclusive LGBTQ+ bar and grill in PDX. Mostly leans sapphic, but all are welcome. Great food and atmosphere. Lots and lots of events. Something for everyone.“

“Incredible food & drinks We ordered all the appetizers at my sons bday for the table and everyone loved each one!! Definitely a place to go back and feel good about sharing with friends!!“

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

“I love my blue moon 🌙 I love my blue moon 🌝“

“Kay's is nice little chill spot to grab drinks with some pretty delicious food. Unfortunately i don't remember our server's name, but hes been very polite and patient each time we've been in. I highly recommend the Bridge City Nachos, they're bomb and I get them every time!“

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

“I had a very nice time there playing pool with friends! It was a weekend night, and it was super mellow and not packed at all! Great choice indeed!

Wheelchair accessibility: It is definitely wheelchair accessible and more“

“It the Lents neighborhood we are faced with many challenges. That said, I always feel very safe and welcome here. My mother enjoys coming here with me and always remarks on the friendly service.
The food is very good here and they serve several soups at all times, year round which I appreciate. There are some very pleasent regulars and long term service staff that is worth coming to experience as well. This is one of my favorite spots to grab breakfast and lunch at all hours.
If you like sports, this is a great place to frequent. The 3 stars for atmosphere is due to the neighborhood as well as the aging building. Otherwise it's one of my favorite, dive bars. I eat several meals here most weeks.“

“Missed brunch at the hotel. They sent us to Concordia. The cook was running late so we sat on the sunny stoop and waiting till they arrived. The bartender set us up with a couple morning beverages on the house while we waited. When the cook(s) arrived our order was taken and was brought out quite quickly. The eggs Benedict was cooked perfectly to my likeing and the lite cheese and dairy on the side breakfast burrito came as it was ordered. I took a bite of it and it was tasty.“

“I almost didn’t come here due to the negative reviews about bad service. I came here right when they opened and it was already busy. The bartender was super attentive and cool. Service was quick and the vibes are awesome! Portland needs to keep all their quirky dive bars!!!“

“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“

“the greatest variety of music in Portland. Good food, great clientel base. Beer is wet! Portlands best gathering place, for me. love the staff, friendly while under pressure.“

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

“Cool Chicago/Wisconsin pub, good food the chicken sandwich is definitely the way to go. Not a huge taplist but a good one with a full range of offerings. Service was great, the ambiance was broken off on Midwest if you appreciate that, otherwise still a nice traditional pub.“

“We stopped in for lunch and made some great memories! We met some new friends, had some amazing food and even better service 💗. It also ended up being the first time one of my best friends had been in a bar and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience!“

“Excellent food in a dive bar. I love how you order food at the bar, it came out super quick, it was super tasty. What more do you want ? Oh, just about everything on menu wa under $15 and huge! They got two tables and plenty of seating both indoor and out. Dog friendly.“

“This is a bar you can keep coming to and it never gets old. It will always be my go-to. The bartenders Jade, Kaylee, and Max along with their fabulous karoake DJ are all INCREDIBLE at their jobs. Amazing drinks, fair prices, and the vibes are immaculate!“

“Nice big place with video poker, pool table, one or two video games. Haven't tried the food looks good and they have daily or weekly specials. They open really early like 7am so that's eairler then most places in the area. Usually always at least a few customers and sometimes it gets pretty crowded during normal peak hours. Lots of tvs ro watch sports. All around nice place.“

“Friendly staff, food prices fair and drinks strong 💪“

“No longer vegetarian/vegan friendly AT ALL. It is unclear where exactly to stand to get in line for a drink and locals will walk in front of you and get served first. But the music side is a throwback to the old portland dive bar days and it’s fun to watch a sloppy show there. Great patio. Door guy is very nice.

Vegetarian options: They no longer have the Mexican menu. It’s now a food cart outside that has southern food with next to nothing for vegans or vegetarians. It’s 2024, I don’t want another side of Mac and cheese and collard greens while everyone else gets a meal.“

“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 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 love Gresham My Bar! Food is usually pretty good but the best part is Ross the bartender! He’s like a good buddy! Very attentive, quick service, remembers our names…. The best!!“

“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.“

“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 owner Mark Rourke is the BEST! Very friendly and interactive with all the customers. The food and service are the best as well. Also shout out to the bartenders that are very attentive, personable and Johnny on the spot. Oh and I can't forget about the cook who does an amazing job as well. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND you stop in and check this place out. You will not be disappointed 🥰“

“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“

“lots of TVs for viewing sporting events“

“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. ?“

“The chicken is fire good.

The bathroom is a huge Ada joke.

Get the food walk away if you can cant don't stay for confusing bathrooms.

Wheelchair accessibility: No Ada bathroom with reasonable accommodation“

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

“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.“

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

“Great public course. Well maintained“

“Parking: Right side, in back & left side of bar & Grill are parking spots!

Kid-friendliness: No kid friendly, but dog friendly on leashes.

Wheelchair accessibility: Ramp is on right-side of bar wide 2 doors for wheelchair entrance!“

“This place is a hidden gem in the Portland market. They have exceptional food, quality cocktails, and friendly staff. It is also a great place to watch Sunday football. I rarely give 5 Stars across the board, so you might want to stop in.“

“thumbs up in Multnomah village“

“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!“

“Super fun, good music, bartender was nice, but servers were surly, inefficient. After 45 minutes I asked her about my order. She said take a number or something like that. Order never came and when I went to the bar she refunded my payment because the kitchen had closed. So I had nothing to eat. I can't just skip meals so I had to leave. Very poor service. Should take the restaurant sign down as they aren't really- its a dive bar with a greasy kitchen that won't even serve dinner“

“amazing place great staff“

“Thursdays are 1 dollar off all drinks, cheapest drinks in the city! 4.75 for whiskey cokes and lemon drops, 6.50 for a malibu (w/out discount). Delicious drinks and amazing bartender!“

“Cheap, stiff drinks. Nice patio.Edit: Lately, cold service and short pours from the gal that works during the day. Borderline rude. Not sure what changed, but I will be changing my times there. Will not change the actual review, because it seems like it is only this person, and maybe they are just having a bad time like many are right now.“

“It's kind of a dive bar not in the best area . They serve Mexican food. Only have beer and wine no liquor . They have a pool table , juke box and I believe 7 to 10 poker machines . The poker machines did go down while I was there . I guess it was a city wide issue. I had to wait for the machines to come back on line before they would cash my ticket. It was down for over a hour so that wasn't ideal but all in all not a bad place nice staff and depending on the time nice customers. Gets more rowdy later at night.

Parking: It's In the same parking lot as the liquor store and people seem to get confused on the one way directions they're are supposed to be going . So you want to pay extra close attention in this parking lot.“

“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.“

“Best place in town, I love coming here with my girlfriend for date night. I highly recommend the Moroccan Coffee and the Fettuccine Alfredo (when it’s on special). The G&Ts are great too. I would give six stars if I could because of the ring game on the patio. There are also TVs and slots. Pretty much all anyone could ask for from a Bar and Grill. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“The bartender Micheal made a mean Old Fashioned... best I've ever had! Thank you Micheal! BTW..I also bought one of the plants the owner sells.“
