A Portland institution. Back from closure. Cool place to hang with decent beer garden and pool table. Great happy hour with draft beer at $2 a pint.
Thank you for taking care of your customers and staff!

The Paymaster Lounge offers a unique experience with its funky atmosphere, featuring old-time beer signs and a nice patio. The vibe is cool, and there's a fun vending machine and pinball to enjoy. It's a divey bar with an arcade, a wine bar, and a photo booth, making it a great spot to catch up with old friends. The service is quick and efficient, with friendly staff who remember regular customers' names and orders. The food is great, including the Smash Burger, which is a favorite among customers, especially during happy hour. A customer noted the $8.50 cheeseburger as his favorite in Portland, highlighting its tasty bun, crispy pickles, and gooey cheese. The Fancy burger is also popular, featuring bacon and balsamic. The cook even checks on customers with food allergies. The drinks are solid and reasonably priced, and the outdoor space is enjoyable, with a full, warmed patio that is fun.
The Paymaster Lounge feels like the real-life Cheers, where everyone knows your name. Customers enjoy the angry hour deals, fun Jell-O shots, and a wide selection of cocktails and food, including delicious hot dogs. The pay-at-the-bar setup makes it a great option for larger group meetups. The atmosphere remains lively late at night, and the booths in the front room are perfect for gathering, sharing nachos, and enjoying baked mac and cheese. Employees do a great job of walking around, busing tables, and clearing finished plates and drinks. Cameron, the bartender, is known for his welcoming nature and excellent drink-making skills, making a visit to the Paymaster Lounge 100% worth it.
