50 Best Bars near Tualatin

“Wow what an AWESOME spot!!!

We stopped here cuz we ended up in the area and we were incredibly happy. The food is amazing. Cesar salad is well dressed and flavorful. The pizza was good too. They don’t skimp on cheese and the ranch dressing to dip it in is great. The mozzarella sticks stole the show though! Great beer selection as well.

The service was great, and multiple servers checked on us. Very friendly and polite.

The bar is also incredibly well decorated. So many fun vintage unique items everywhere. This is a “dive”, I guess but almost purposefully? Just way unique and fun.

We are so sad we live far away from this place because if we were closer this would be a weekly haunt. Make sure to come in here, you won’t be disappointed!!!!“

“We really enjoyed taking a beginner lesson from Rob and Andi, and enjoy the atmosphere too! Love that we all sang the national anthem, that was huge!🇺🇸“

“Love this place. We've been a few times and both the drinks and desserts are so so delicious! Recommend reservations but not required. Seating is a little tight for larger parties, but I've seen them make it work. Ideal for parties of 2-3.“

“This bar is so cozy! The atmosphere is very welcoming and they have plenty of seating around the bar and tables. Would be a great date spot.

The bartenders were super knowledgeable and kind. Will be back soon to try out their food.“

“I can't stop thinking about the celery salad and the warm olives“

“This is my favorite place in Portland. I love the open mics, the trans community events, the potlucks, and the openness of the space. Every time I walk in, I feel welcome. The worker-owners are caring and kind people. The giraffe is definitely a fun added touch - but my favorite part of the Tap is definitely the community. This place has singlehandedly motivated me to stay in Portland.“

“Warm cozy atmosphere, friendly service, fine cocktails.“

“We were in Portland overnight and Gilda's was recommended to us by the hotel staff. The food was amazing. It was crazy busy and the staff were hustling, but very professional. Even when a customer at the next table was being unnecessarily difficult (his companion and the waitress and we all knew it was his error, not the waitress's) the waitress handled the situation with grace. We were so impressed with the food and the staff, we went back on our return trip through Portland a week later. Equally impressive food and service, but on a slow night, so the staff had time to happily engage with customers. Shout outs to Taylor and Gabby and Chef Marco. Everything was delicious and the service was friendly and professional. Highly recommend.“

“Great live music here!!!!“

“Fun time. A bit of a wait, so go early.“

“Such a fun, welcoming little bar! The food is absolutely delicious, the cocktails are lovingly crafted, and the HUGE game selection makes this place the best hidden gem on Main Street. Head up the stairs next to Versus and check it out for yourself!“

“Great vibes and an excellent happy hour from 5-7pm. All of the cocktails were delicious and very affordable. The grilled cheese and tomato soup combo were great on a gloomy day, with the soup being slightly on the salty side, but still a great dish.
Inside is pretty dark, but the back patio was a nice space to hang out while still light out.“

“From our nine year old: Amazing service and great mocktails! We went during the make your own Gimbap and it was absolutely amazing!!“

“At the risk of sounding cliche, I wish I could give the service 10 stars. I’ve never experienced a better Portland bar service, they’re always friendly, they make killer classic drinks and excellent twists on classics with very high quality ingredients and craftsmanship. When you consider the quality of the food, drinks and service combined I would say this is in my mind the best bar in Portland. They have a small kitchen but always deliver on everything they make. Please don’t come here I like having it to myself!“

“Excellent spot for drinks and beers. Nice outside patio with umbrellas and tables. The interior is charming and reminiscent of a Parisian Cafe. Friendly service and food available from The Baghdad Theater. 3 stars for the food which I consider very expensive for simple fare.“

“We got lucky and caught them when they weren't insanely busy the first time we tried their chicken. Go for the thighs! The juiciest chicken we've ever had.

The next time we tried to stop in, it was absolutely slammed. Didnt even walk inside. 😅“

“Great place and a fantastic location… they also have delicious beer!“

“The drinks here are no joke—strong and perfectly mixed. The best part? Their Sunday evening happy hour! It’s such a chill vibe, with great deals that make it easy to treat yourself without feeling guilty.

If you’re looking for a spot that nails strong drinks, good food, and a laid back, yet warm, atmosphere, this is it.“

“I had driven by here a couple times and never stopped because it didn't look that great from a moving car. Finally stopped in this weekend and it was a lot better than I would have guessed. Good food, good drinks, good vibe, nice (and pretty big) front patio. Will definitely come here again.“

“Best Pina Colada in town food is amazing nice staff outdoor dinning only super fun atmosphere“

“Such a cool bar! It had a nice ambiance and the cocktails were so unique. Our bartender was very friendly and was happy to tell me about areas in Portland when I told him my husband and I would be moving to Portland. I can't remember the names of our cocktails but they were very good! Mine had a pho wash which I was skeptical about when I ordered it but it was incredible. Highly recommend!“

“Wonderful neighborhood bar. Staff is always friendly and helpful. Amazing assortment of drinks. Atmosphere is fantastic. Food is great. Highly recommended.“

“nice atmosphere and close to home“

“Nice place for a beer and a burger while watching soccer“

“I am pissed that the bartender changed the music from the juke box. I wasted $5. Never heard a single because she listened to what she wanted. Third time this has happened. I am not coming back here and keeping my friends from going here after this.“

“I usually give most places 5 stars for atmosphere but if I could give more.
This place is amazing, the decor and warm lighting makes The Muddy Rudder a perfect restaurant for date night, dinner with the family, or just a break from all your troubles.
Wide selection of pizza, calzones, and beverages (fountain drinks, tea, and of course, booze.)
If you’re in town definitely take the opportunity to satisfy your hunger for all that this wonderful city has to offer and try The Muddy Rudder Pub.

Vegetarian options: My vegetarian mother comes here with the rest of the family and enjoys it as much as the rest of us.

Parking: Can be a little difficult to find parking during peak hours but trust me when I say, it’s worth it. 100 percent.

Kid-friendliness: Meh. As long as they’re quiet.

Wheelchair accessibility: There is a ramp on the north side of the building for access to the patio and bar.“

“No lottery machines!!! It was so nice to be able to go into this bar as it had no lottery machines and kept me from loosing my money for sure. Instead we were able to enjoy playing some games and enjoy the food. The food was hands down the best food I have eaten in a while. The burger was superb, juicy and very tasty. Not your average price bar food coming out of the kitchen. The cook puts love into these meals and you can taste and see that. At 11.00 for a burger I felt as if I had under paid. It was so good. Thank you to the cook and the bar for a late night safe place away from video poker machines. Seriously thank you.“

“It’s like partying in a cool friends backyard! Eclectic and jus super fun!“

“Friendly staff, the nambawan strain in particular is absolutely exceptional, but all strains I’ve had here have been good quality. Nice chill atmosphere in beautiful and fun SE Portland. Highly recommend for kava lovers and the kava curious. 😊“

“Great place to watch all the San Francisco 49’er games!!! One of the 2 viewing sites for Niner Empire Beaverton. Great beers and pub grub“

“First time there today and had an amazing cucumber and vodka cocktail. I ordered the summer noodles with vegetables and chicken. Noodles were a bit more Al dente than they should have been but it was rich and delicious.“

“You have to check out the newly renovated, under new ownership Hawthorne Hideaway! Service and food are great! Bartenders are super friendly, it's clean, and i can't wait to see some live local bands!“

“One of my all time favorite bars“

“What a great addition to the neighborhood!

A place to get a proper cocktail in our village. Everything we tried we loved & their namesake drink “the Gibson” is highly recommended.

Ambience & quality all 10/10 stars“

“Friendly staff, great atmosphere, fun music. Do recommend if you’re in the area.“

“Came here at the suggestion of a local friend as well as traveler friend. Great atmosphere and drinks. Highly recommend checking it out.“

“Best place for great drinks and amazing bartenders. Check it out Sat or Sunday nights and hang with Geoffrey . The cold brew coffee White Russian is amazing!!“

“where to start, we are big good truck goers. A family of 5. makes it great when everyone can get what they want. This place is beautiful, they had a handful of trucks (more coming) but the options were definitely a mix. Something for everyone for sure. The Cuban food truck is a 10/10 highly recommend! The Cuban sandwich was the best sandwich ive had in a long time. Do yourself a favor and give it a try. My husband and kids had burgers, corn dogs, and chicken strips. The burgers were huge. super great flavor, (adding lamb burgers to the menu soon) super excited to come back to try those. Lets talk drinks, I like a good spicy cocktail, however most "full bars" offer Tabasco to spice up my drink. I hate that. I prefer a spicy tequila or a muddled jalepeno. This place has bitters. This was hands down the best spicy margarita (the house margarita with spicy bitters) that I have had since I've been out here. They have have a changing station in the bathroom. a pinball room, and a kids toys section. For families like us, little kids, picky eater, the FULL bar. This is by far the best food truck place we have went to.“

“Our favorite place to grab a beer“

“Bar Loon is nothing short of fantastic! The service, the food, the cocktails, and the space are truly lovely. It has easily become one of my favorite spots in Portland and a great place to bring folks to shake things up a bit. I can't wait to see what they have in store as they settle into such a beloved space.“

“We had an exceptional experience at Comala. The drinks menu came with a diagram of the flavor profile AND how each was served. Why doesn’t every bar do this? If you want wine it’s all Mexican. Then the food we ordered (skirt steak tacos, chilaquiles but very elevated, and padron peppers) arrived and every dish was wonderful. Highly recommended.“

“Drinks! Drinks! And more drinks! Prices are amazing for downtown Portland and the cocktails are sooo good. If you’re hungry, Sizzle Pie is right next door. You can get food in the bar but if you just want pizza, without drinks, you’d be better off going into the restaurant rather than the bar (it’s usually just one person working so they have to do everything (bartend, dishes, run food, etc). I work in the industry and am always impressed with how well these folks can juggle doing it all. Tip your bartender!“

“If I could 2500 stars, I would! I am not normally a cider drinker, so my wife and I got a flight…wow oh wow! It was sooooo good, we got another flight and 2, 1/2 pints! The owner was EXTREMELY FRIENDLY and KNOWLEDGEABLE about the ciders! I highly recommend the peach and loganberry!
We also had the hummus and pita…chefs kiss! One of our FAVORITE places on our vacation to Portland!“

“This place was awesome made me feel like a kid“

“I love Central. It’s close to home, they have indoor and outdoor seating, the people there are really nice (especially Amy, who always tries to have a stout or 2 on tap), and my dog feels so relaxed here (sitting outside of course). It’s just a cozy local hangout, and they have cool events all the time. A lot of my favorite bars and restaurants have closed since the start of Covid, so I really hope people help support this place so they’re able to stick around a long time.“

“My place to go for the arsenal games“

“Thanks for the fun evening and the wonderful, live music.“

“Great bar I like their extensive tequila and mezcal offerings and the decor. It’s nice that you can order food from next door too. I just found this to be a bit pricey for what it is, especially some of the cocktails. I don’t see myself coming back here too often but would recommend to people who have the budget for it!“

“Walking in the door, we weren't sure if we came in the right door. A large curtain was right inside. I'm sure to keep out the weather, but no real direction once inside. For dinner it is tapas styled ordering. We had salad, gnocchi, prawns, a few more plates. Now, none of the food was bad, it just wasn't good. No balsamic for the bread. The gnocchi tasted more like slices of mozzarella in an alfredo sauce. The servers seemed as if we were putting them out when we ordered. The tables were so close together that we were uncomfortably involved with one tables politics and the others sexual escapades from the night before. Maybe try another time.“

“Great people to work and drink with!“
