I was taught in cosmetology school that a person is more likely to share a bad experience than a good one and that word of mouth is your best form of advertising. I have been here several times to pick up a to go order for our family. Usually the staff is really friendly, but tonight something was off. I was treated like absolute garbage by both employees working. First I was ignored and then I was given the nastiest attitude by the female bartender. They honestly didn't even DESERVE the $12 tip I still left for them. I've worked in customer service as a hair stylist for 16 years now and I would NEVER treat a client the way this woman treated me. It is UNACCEPTABLE and working in a bar with a bunch of drunk people doesn't give them the right to treat a customer that way.

We love The Old Barn, especially on Fridays. Everyone is in a “end of the work week mood” looking forward to a weekend with Football, Baseball & other sporting games on several TVs. Terrific choice of craft beer and excellent mixed drinks, especially Margaritas; thanks Lisa! There’s trivia and lottery games if you’re interested. The food has something for everyone: potstickers, jalapeño poppers, salads with crab and shrimp, hot and cold sandwiches, pizza and the best clam chowder around. We’ve never ordered dessert cuz we’re always too full, but plenty to offer. Come join us and enjoy yourself! Excellent choice for all numbers of group sizes.

Knock Out

Little dive bar in SW Portland. Food was good. I had the combo pizza. One friend had a salad and the other three had burgers. Interior was a little old, dark, and outdated. Server/bartender was nice and got our orders correct. I was skeptical, but it is a good place. Prices on some items are a little high, but still a good place for a meal out. They did have video poker, but I didn’t play. Decent parking in back.

Solid dive bar. Been in the neighborhood for decades so they're doing something right.

A neat bar located off Highway 99. It has an comfy old school neighborhood bar feel to it. I had their reuben sandwich with tater tots. The sandwich was ok. Our bartender/waitress was pretty nice and helpful, which made the experience better. I do want to try some of their other specials next time.

Parking: Really great staff, accommodating take out orders.

Kid-friendliness: It's a small bar, but there is an area for family dining.

Wheelchair accessibility: Not great. Most of the parking is down a steep hill from the entrances.

I've been to this establishment several times, and I have enjoyed the service and the food. The $14.95 prime rib Tuesday is what got my attention and I have not been disappointed. The happy hour food is good too!!!

Parking: Plenty of parking all around, especially in the back of the building.

I come from Vancouver to eat here, the chowder reminds me of my mom's!
If you ever thought of opening a second bar you might check out the Decoy Saloon in Linnton! You would be so welcomed in the community, especially with the quality food you serve!
I do believe they are looking for new owners as the last ones had no real experience & up & closed the door a couple weeks ago with no notice.
You can probably find them on FB.
It would be a perfect fit for someone experienced in the business!
