Food, drinks, and atmosphere all up to snuff. Convenient location I think for a lot of people.

Food took over 90 min. Small portions for the price.I knew they were busy but geez. Not the cleanest place... but the music is great.

It was pretty decent for a local neighborhood hangout. Good happy hour menu. My friends said they pour a strong drink. Salads are a little expensive for what you get.

dope vibes, cool vintage signs, bubbles and vegan food galore.
feels like you’re part of the neighborhood even if you’re not a local.

The food is undeniably some of the best in Se Portland. The skewers, the Brussels, the cauliflower are just insane. A must try

It was a pretty quiet night at this bar, but I had a great time. The cocktails were terrific and the bartender was attentive and cool.

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!

A favorite spot for late night happy hour bites. The cauliflower is my go to favorite! And the recent outdoor pool table in the back is awesome! 10/10

Came for late night happy hour. Bartender was great. Ordered a smash burger and fries and took about 45 minutes. Food came cold unfortunately. Wouldn’t recommend eating here
