Half my group was Canadian and regardless of the Oregon Liquor Control Commission explicitly stating that “An unexpired and unaltered driver license from a U.S. state, the District of Columbia, or a province or territory of Canada” are valid as a sole piece of ID the Canadians were not allowed to enter the bar with their Canadian drivers licenses. Then without warning, as the Canadians were coming back with their passports, security said “you’re drinking outside my bar, I’m not letting any of you in” and slammed the door. The whole experience was extremely rude, security was highly abrasive, and there was no respect provided to potential patrons. I would highly recommend frequenting another establishment given the choice.

One of the best dive bars I’ve ever been to. Apparently it’s been around since 1933, and it wears it well! Straightforward simple affordable drinks in a poorly lit graffiti covered bar, the identity of a true dive bar!
I hope they never change!

I give this place a solid 5 stars because it is the most DIVE’eeeee-DIVE BAR I have ever encountered in my pursuit of dive bars! Haha…and if you’re anything like me, I’m a lady but not that much of a lady. Meaning I LOVE me a rouge around the edges, real character, real stories, real drinks type of place. Seriously a great place. And wait until you see the wall art! Uffff…

There is a jukebox for you to play your music, it has a decadent style but that is its charm.

If you want a dive bar, Yamhill Pub is right up there with the Double Down in Las Vegas. The staff at Yamhill is friendlier but then, scorpions tend to be friendlier than most of the staff at DD.
Worst service, as dirty of a bar I’ve ever come across. Bartender with the face tattoo would only serve people he knew. Refused to help others.

Best dive bar ever! Neil was friendly and provided wonderful service. Friendly crowd that may have resulted in some lasting friendships. One of the highlights of our Portland vacation. We will definitely be back

Is there still a river of piss coming from the bathroom leaking out the door and coming into the bar?
that was one of its charms
