The Cheerful Tortoise is a lively spot with a cozy, college-like atmosphere and a surprising variety of drinks. Located by PSU, it attracts many college students and regulars of all ages. The food is better than expected, with popular options like chicken wings, which are said to be the best in Portland, and large, loaded nachos. The Mac and Cheese is also a favorite among visitors. There are plenty of activities to enjoy, such as pool, karaoke on Sunday and Wicked Wednesday, and DJs like DJ Wicked and DJ Good Fortune, who bring great music and skills. The place features a big fire pit and pool tables in the back, creating a fun environment. The staff, led by owner Amy, are friendly and welcoming, helping to foster a warm and community-focused vibe. It’s a great spot near downtown that offers affordable prices and is wheelchair accessible, as it is street level. The restaurant’s history and sense of community make it a unique and beloved Portland dive bar. Visitors often enjoy the large portions and fun atmosphere, making it a place worth returning to regularly.
