Food is actually really good. They share a head cook with cheerful bullpen, and the food is surprisingly great. I've heard bad things about the ownership, and the owners, but that's not really customer affecting. Nice variety of drinks, and cozy, college-esque, somewhat dingy aesthetic. It's a favorite of mine.

Honestly, one of the best bars we've ever been to! The workers were great, an amazing vibe, the karaoke made it fun and some of the singers were really good too!! Delicious drinks. We tried a fish bowl and that's all we needed

This is a great dive bar with a great atmosphere. Safe and secure, with sports on the televisions, and reasonably priced food and drink, it's easy to come here and relax after work.

This place is a rip off. Seems they don't get enough customers so they try to squeeze from the one they do. I was charged $106.54 for 3 beers that me and my wife got.I got in touch with the owner via email no reply. I still have the receipt from the place which says $18.54.If I were you, I would be extra careful going there. One can find a much better place to spend your time and money and not worry about being scammed.Good luck to the bar as they have shown a real repeat customer experience.

Music was insanely loud (trust me, not typical bar loud, like you can't think loud) even though the bar had three other people in it. Portland has so many dive bars that have a lot of charm, this place is truly not one of them.

Been coming in since 2014, glad to see it's still here, I have a lot of great memories in this place. The barkeep made a solid whiskey ginger. I will be back as long as y'all keep standing.

A fun little bar in downtown Portland that's open 365 days a year. It was perfect for a snowy day.

I went in to use the ATM. The atmosphere was cozy and relaxed, they had some arcade games, staff seemed very friendly. They have a menu, dine in, delivery, and take out. There’s karaoke and live music, there’s wheelchair accessible restrooms, entrance, and seating. It’s a woman owned business and I saw only woman employees there. They also have free wifi and restrooms for customers. There’s a happy hour and tons of drink options and you can order food and eat it at the bar as well as other seating around the bar. There’s a fireplace tooKid-friendliness: 21+ only so definitely not kid friendly.Wheelchair accessibility: there’s wheelchair accessible restrooms, entrance, and seating. There is no wheelchair accessible parking.
