50 Best Bars near West Linn

“Always predictably good. Solid pub food, love the soups and salads too. It’s our neighborhood favorite. They haven’t raised their prices which means the value is amazing! .“

“I ordered the salmon with sweet chili sauce lettuce wraps OMG! they were absolutely incredible. The salmon was fresh and delicious with a light sauce. My 6 year old grandson loved being there and when asked if his french fries were yummy, replied "hell, yeah"“

“Great food and awesome people, been going for years.“

“We recently dined in at this location and we were all blown away by the service, food and atmosphere. Zack was our waiter and he was very attentive and friendly. The entire staff was incredibly accommodating to our large party and small kids. The food came out quickly, even on a busy evening and everything was delicious. Really fun, lively environment! Melissa the manager was friendly and clearly has a great team working there. All around, just really happy with our recent experience and we'll be back!“

“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.“

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

“Great place to hang with friends and delicious beverages!“

“Much bigger inside than you would think. So happy there is live music. Regulars make you feel welcome.“

“Great live music here!!!!“

“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!“

“My hubby and I randomly stopped in yesterday after the food show. I’ve lived in OR for 17 years and he’s lived here his entire life. I’ve never done Portland as I moved from a big city and we live in Idanaha. My anxiety was on extreme when we arrived. (I was trying Portland for the first time). Between the food show and getting to the hotel, found Thunderbird. It was exactly what we needed. A decent place, great service. I seriously considered buying a piece of art displayed. Next time for sure! Loved the plants and vibe. We will be returning. Next time I’ll try the food (we were stuffed yesterday).“

“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.“

“Travel the world through cased meat! BEST“

“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. 😅“

“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.“

“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 people to work and drink with!“

“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“

“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.“

“Friendly folks ~ awesome food carts ~ nice drinks!“

“Had to have some pizza therapy after the presidential election results. This place was great. Beautiful spot and really good pizza. We had the mushroom truffle pizza, which was perfect. The crust was great! I forgot to get a picture of the whipped ricotta with honey and garlic. The server recommended it and it was a perfect add on. We’ll definitely return here!“

“Good vibe, drink and atmosphere.“

“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!!!!“

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

“Great people to work and drink with!“

“It is a fun place to hangout. Bartenders are really nice. I recommend people should go there.“

“Friendly staff, Pausitive Vibes, plenty of entertainment with multiple tvs, Sports Viewing, various games like pool, darts and all the video poker types pub goers want!

Wheelchair accessibility: Several spots, clearly marked, right up front!“

“I live in walking distance of this place and have to say it is quite the gem. The vibes are always relaxed and comfortable, bar tenders are friendly and laid back, the cheeseburgers are delicious and very reasonably priced, and the drinks are good! On top of that, their new pinball selection (7 machines!) makes this place too good to be true, with two of my all time favorite machines. Happy its in the neighborhood. Don't be fooled by its unassuming facade, Old Gilbert is a perfect neighborhood bar and a Mt. Scott institution.“

“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!“

“Great rotating taps with great diversity. Also with a good bottle selection. They do crowlers and growlers to go.
Service is lovely-they are so patient and never hurry anyone along.
Food is absolutely phenomenal and makes a regular appearance in our takeaway rotation.
The space itself is wonderful-games, comfy chairs, sometimes live music or whatever game is on displayed.
Truly a great asset to Oregon City.“

“Great food and atmosphere❤️“

“Always the best variety of beer, both on tap and in the fridge. This is the spot for the beer enthusiast in this part of Portland. And they are open every day, including Christmas!“

“Jade does a great job! 🙂👍“

“Our go to pizza place - killer pizza, salads and antipasti and an awesome patio! You guys rock!“

“Food was amazing , next time I’m in town I will have to stop by and try more of the lovely food items . Big portions great food, friendly service!!“

“A great bar with good food, pool tables, and good service. I highly recommend grabbing a drink and some food here!“

“Been going here since the doors opened. Still a home base for me even though I don't live in the neighborhood anymore.“

“this place USED to be great, when the owners cared about their staff and customers. they now no longer care. I realized this after being electrocuted due to the owners not wanting to hire electricians and plumbers to do the work needed. the company stopped really truly caring about their staff when they moved to this location. all staff is expected to be on call every day for any shift, while being paid the minimum wage and no wage for staying on call. it also was a realization that they didn't care when I was expected to pump breastmilk for my newborn in an area that was not private and was in view of customers when I did need to pump. no employee is relieved of duty for a break and often times expected to work 10+ hours, and not always knowing I'd relief would show up. yes they used to be a good place, they no longer are. oh and the tacos are not made to health standards....while they are safe we were told to use a slow cooker and not tell health authorities how we cooked the meat.“

“One of our favorite hang outs. Lots of beers to choose from and the staff are all friendly and helpful. They don't serve food but there are a handful of great restaurants in the area that they let you eat on-site while enjoying your drinks!“

“Classic dive bar with good food.“

“Just what the Doctor ordered. Great little neighborhood bar even if you aren't from the neighborhood.“

“I've heard a lot about Landmark. It's the type of place your boyfriend's Dad calls you about when he sees that his sons's shared location is there. You know, because one time he went there, or maybe it reminds him of something... or, maybe this place is about connection. Maybe that's why I've heard about it... or maybe it's the drinks? I don't know...But, what if it is about connection? About talking to the person you came with, thinking about picking up that phone call when you'd usually hit ignore on a Saturday night, or maybe just remembering a moment when you were absolutely happy to hear a live band play something you've never heard on the radio...You know, the radio... that thing people always listened to on their commute to somewhere...“

“Great atmosphere and food. The covered seating with fire pit and table heaters were a big plus. Bartenders inside were very friendly with a great selection of beers and cocktails. Yummy assortment of carts to choose from.“

“When we go out for dinner and drinks we always stop by on the way home.“

“This is the only place that serves Vision hard cider (that I know of), specifically the Colada Cooler (coconut lime)!! It's my absolute favorite cider I've EVER tried ❤️❤️. They don't serve food (other than small bags of chips & I think free popcorn) but they allow outside food which is a plus!! We drive from Beaverton to Canby just so I can get my cider fix occasionally. Last weekend we went to a Disco event there, it was fun although I'm pretty sure everyone knew each other besides the two of us lol.“

“Definitely the cheapest Jello Shots in town but I think they might also be the best. $1.50 a pop with flavors like Strawberry Shortcake, Pink Starburst, Margarita, and Cherry. Each one made with different liquor.

A couple of tvs showing sports or whatever you ask for.

The shopping center also has some amazing food if you take a look around!“

“Wow, great appetizers, small plates,
and drinks! Loved the cheese stuffed mushrooms, bacon wrapped dates and loaded mac and cheese. Chicken parm was delicious too! Must try if you are up for a night out. Our bartender/server Mykel, was quick and attentive, full of stories. Looking forward to the next visit!“

“What a fun first time I had with my partner for his birthday last night! Shout out to Hannah for creating a friendly fun inclusive atmosphere! Also super cool patio. They are dog friendly as well to v good bois“

“"This Ship Don't Sink" is the perfect motto for this bar. A local neighborhood spot that's been kicking up dust since the 40's offering local craft beers and great times. From the welcoming demeanor of the bartenders to the heavy handed drinks, this the place to be in the neighborhood, friendly atmosphere, great locals/regulars that have been coming here for many many years makenit very inviting and wholesome. I've made many a great friend with staff and patron alike. I always felt that the motto was derived from the comradery of the patrons/staff. It's very inclusive and safe with everyone looking out for eachother and also welcoming and accepting of new folks, it's always a good laugh and good times at the ship!

They also have video lottery and a pool table, as well as a big back patio. This is a place where you can come to be by yourself and do work/listen to podcast/etc, or just strike up a random conversation and make a new friend. I highly suggest this bar to anyone new to the neighborhood just looking to scope things out and get more acquainted with their neighbors.“

“I found this bar while trying to kill a few hours and left wishing this was my neighborhood bar. My Way Lounge was clean, very approachable, and the drinks were great. My bar tender "Nathan" was an absolute rock star. It's a rare find when you find a place so welcoming and you leave feeling like you made a new friend... "Nathen." I never write reviews but let me say, if you are looking for a friendly place to hang out and just chill, this is the place.“
