Loved spending an afternoon here! Great bartender, pool tables, and a REALLY good gyro for $7- miles better than I'd had at an actual Mediterranean restaurant a few days earlier.

Awesome spot to catch a game. They have a ton of TVs, so you won't miss a second of the action. Plus, their gyros are absolutely delicious. The place has ample seating, making it perfect for hanging out with friends and family. And to top it all off, there's a full bar with a great selection of drinks. Definitely a place I'll be returning to soon.

The perfect dive bar that’s been around forever. Recently found out I’m a third generation patron from my father. Food is good and reasonably priced and drinks are great too. Pool in the back also

Had never visited before but definitely added to my rotations when in the area as the food was delicious and great pricing!

Enjoyed my cheeseburger 🍔 with tater tots for $9.50!!

Great neighborhood spot with their own parking lot

Loads of screens so you won't miss out on any sport events and a room with pool tables

I don't post reviews very often. They don't clean their lines. There's a foul smell. Servers don't care that I'm at the bar. Maybe one of the worst bars in
I've visited 500+ bars. I have.

I also reported to Fort George how awful the Vortex tasted and it should not allow their beer to ever come here again.

This is our favorite dive sports bar. We love coming before Timbers/Thorns games. The gyros are very good. The food and drinks are cheap (you will be pleasantly surprised when you get your check). I don't love the video poker and the occasional homeless person coming in off the street, but I really love this bar overall. If you like dive bars, you'll love this one.

This place should also be on the Portland Oregon bucket list of stops for both residents and travelers. Their hospitality , food and service are intact as they treat you as an important person and mix their drinks well , and you are not over-served and this is a place that leaves you wanting more but if gone there early afternoon it transforms into an evening like no other on the Burnside strip.The vision of night life and fun will be had by all. This place does not disappoint as it is out-done by their hospitality and the treatment of people equally.

The staff are great, but the owner tried to manhandle my friends who barely weigh 100lb if that. She had her head down on the table due to the loud music and being 1 am. She was fully cognitive and able to move, talk everything. But this woman came and grabbed her, and shook her despite already explaining to her the situation with our friends head ache. Now if this woman would have kept her hands to herself and just asked us to leave there it would have been 100% copacetic. But this person had no Portland class or care for community. Came up and Shook someone when they were RESPONSIVE AND 100 ABLE TO TALK

It is by far from any experience, I've asked a certain bartender to seal lip. It was far received. I will say it is a surmised hustle. Down far away.

$5 Breakfast Done Right!
First off, you just can't beat getting a full breakfast for $5, especially with the price of eggs these days. I get extra bacon with a side of grillled onions & peppers? Still a steal!
The eggs and bacon be cooked exactly how I like them—over medium, hot, and fresh.

The morning staff? Super friendly, upbeat, and just good vibes. They really help set a positive tone for the day.

And the kicker? Free popcorn! Unexpected but a cool treat that makes this spot even more unique.

This review is 90% based on my morning experience, so giving this this a 5-star rating.
