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! .“

“Awesome place for food. Great service! Would recommend!!“

“This is such a great place to grab great food before you are in the city. This location even has outdoor seating and that is great on a warm day. My server was Caleb and he made my dining experience delightful. He took great care of me and he was very friendly and helpful when I needed something. Food was great and the atmosphere is always a delight.“

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

“An excellent neighborhood bar with good vibes and quick service. Love to stop here for an afternoon drink they have inside or outside seating and are dog friendly. Only con is that their food could be better with even just the smallest improvements. But the food isn't bad for what it is.“

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

“Came here for lunch with my girlfriend. I saw this on Instagram and we decided to give it a roll. The atmosphere is absolutely stunning. We ate in the outdoor seating and had no regrets. It was shaded by beautiful grapevines. The area was beautiful. The food was delicious. The service was helpful and kind. No complaints at all.
Upon asking if the grapes were real we were informed they were and were told we could try them. They were spectacular.“

“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.“

“Great live music here!!!!“

“Great hh pizza! Crust is a Lil puffy a Lil crispy a Lil stretchy.
I had the papermaker pale. Wow! Well poured, gold colored beauty, tastes like a beer dream, lightly piney on top, then a smoothly carbonated descent to hopville.. brilliant!
They treat you right at the Rudder, so close to the Willamette it probably barely stayed dry in ancient days. But they dont get you muddy. Kick back be patient they will row out to you.
Tune into the vibe here. Becalmed.“

“Jade does a great job! 🙂👍“

“This place is a gem. It has a welcoming atmosphere with a blend of vintage and modern decor. High quality, delicious specials and drinks, relaxing live music and a sweet little corner bistro atmosphere. The proprietors made me feel like they wanted me to stick around for awhile. Definitely the kind of place where one could become a regular with ease.“

“My wife and I got married at this wine bar late last Summer and it was the best day ever. Jack, Stephanie AND Cassi were the best hosts and we’ll always be grateful for the experience they provided us in their lovely space.

We revisited the wine bar this weekend and had a lovely time reminiscing over our previous time in the space while sipping delicious wine, nibbling crackers and cheese and of course engaging with the staff, Elijah and Connor. They were welcoming, charming, knowledgable and attentive. We were happy to hear that Jack was enjoying a well deserved day off ;-)

Always good wine and a lovely time at Backcountry Wine Bar. That’s why it’s our favorite!“

“Great beer great ambience, fantastic service, and a friendly atmosphere so, you can’t go wrong. Loved our night out at this taphouse!“

“Great people to work and drink with!“

“Went here for a friend's going away party & fell in love with the vibe. Owner is so awesome. Patio is fully enclosed & wonderfully appointed. I even saw a shelf that held board games anyone could play. (We didn't cause we were spending time visiting, but I totally will next time! ) looking forward to my next visit.“

“Great addition to the South Waterfront.“

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

“This is a cute place with a great bartender. The reason I'm going with 4 stars: When I walked in, due to reflections on the glass door I couldn't see inside. I opened the door and RIGHT THERE at chest level was the massive head of a giant black dog, about a foot in front of me. I'm not exaggerating - I am very short and this was a mastiff or something. His head was twice the size of a human head. I froze. I have been attacked by dogs before and this was a terrifying experience. It was soon clear that the dog was very chill and only wanted to say hello, but it's not ok to have customers surprised like that.“

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

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

“Been coming here for 4 years now. I always get the chicken burger w/ fries, always tastes great!! Beer and service have also always been great! Been both in the daytime and at night, always a chill crowd of people, from younger 20's to older folk.“

“Amy was great, we came in after dinner for some cocktails, and she definitely treated us right“

“The Dullahan is one of the most welcoming spots around. It has a cozy Irish pub feel, with warm wood interiors, a fireplace, an inviting bar, and great outdoor seating for nice weather. There’s also a fun downstairs area with games, shuffleboard, darts, and a TV.

They have a solid beer list, including Guinness on tap, plus a good selection of Scotch and Irish whiskey. The food covers the pub classics: Fish N’ Chips, Shepherd’s Pie, and Bangers & Mash - and the Bavarian Bangers and Brussels Sprouts are especially worth trying.

It’s a great place to meet friends or bring the family, whether you’re stopping in for a meal, drinks, or both.“

“This place is something special. First time I've ever felt like really spending time in a bar. I don't go to bars and I don't write reviews. The 13th Moon has me doing both. Anybody that had a negative experience, earned one.“

“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.“

“Small place, huge flavor! I waited about an hour for 3 piece dark meat, and JoJo's. This was seasoned perfectly! Both the chicken and the JoJo's! Kay (bartender) was amazing! Very very nice and welcoming! The sauces are perfect too!“

“Awesome location with an owner that works the bar and loves the hustle. Would highly recommend for atmosphere and a strong draft selection. The man knows his power tools too, but fair warning, he’s a Milwaukee guy“

“Great people to work and drink with!“

“Rhinestone has become one of our favorite bars in Portland. My boyfriend and I end up here at least once a week (sometimes twice), and every visit has been great.

The staff is genuinely so friendly and welcoming, and the cocktails never miss. The food is also ridiculously good, especially for the price.

The decor and music definitely speak to my Vegas-grown heart. It feels like one of those places that's easy to become a regular at, and it's always a fun night whether you're just grabbing a drink or hanging out for a while.

Can't recommend this place enough. If you're looking for a great local bar with awesome people, this is it.“

“Great food and atmosphere❤️“

“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).“

“When living in Portland this was my default place to connect with a friend, or when I wanted to be around people while also reading or doing some work. The kava is always excellent, with minimal sleep disturbance like some of them can cause me.“

“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!!“

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

“We had a very fun evening celebrating birthdays on Ladies Night.“

“Friendly staff and patrons, rotating outstanding beers. Also hundreds of different cans and bottles in the coolers for drinking on site or taking home.“

“This is my favorite restaurant in Portland. I finally went into the restaurant after hearing about it for so long and every single time I’ve been here, I’ve had the most exquisite food with ample portions and the most satiating flavors of Italian food and wine that you could get in Portland. It is comfort food at its finest with the best local ingredients and everything is off The chart delicious. I’ve had the pizza, I’ve had pasta, and I’ve had steak twice. Everything is delicious and I can’t get enough of it. The decanting of the wine, the sides to the bread with olives and oil/vinegar. Every single thing I eat, seems to be at the highest level of ingredients with a lot of attention to detail put into everything. The vibe of the place with the uplifting atmosphere, the decor and the righteously amazing vibes of Chrissie the head bartender…makes me keep coming back for birthdays and special occasions. I actually don’t eat out very much with fast food or takeout because I save my money for this place. I can spend $20 at Taco Bell or I could spend $20 here and usually go home very full with leftovers. Chrissie can make the most delicious concoctions and she literally looks like she’s creating something magical when she comes up with something new. Her cocktails are on point yet she’s always innovating her craft. Attention to detail for every single drink. The best recommendations for what they have that night. She informed me that they bake their bread fresh every day. Foods are sourced locally and every single dish makes me want more. I’m trying to get some variety in what I order yet. The steak does it for me every time. The pizza is the best I’ve had in town and sooooo good. I’m very picky about pizza as it’s my favorite food yet this crust and the delicious cheese and greens and everything they put into their pizza is so tasty. The flavor of every single thing I have eaten makes me want to have it again and again and again. If the Italians that I know in my community, make this a regular spot, then I also know it’s good! It’s authentic righteously on point delicious food every single time I go. All my people come with me to this restaurant for special occasions. Do yourself a favor and visit Cibo! If somebody’s coming in from out of town… Take them to Cibo! To celebrate my children’s accomplishments, I take them to Cibo! I already have two reservation reservations for the first week of January and I went there last night. It’s this good! A lot of people post pictures of the food there and I’ve had every dish that I’ve seen online… But what means the most to me about this place is the whole experience of bringing My special people here to experience, uplifting vibes, delicious and exquisite food, the most incredible drinks, and an atmosphere that takes us out of our daily life and gives us such joy and pleasure to experience. Seriously. Just eat here once and you’ll know.“

“Fantino is fantastic!

Each dish has fantastic flavors, the wait staff is very attentive and friendly, and the vibe is on point.

They don’t take reservations (unless your a large party) so be prepared to wait if you don’t come when they open (tho it’s almost always faster than what they say).

Some main dishes are well sized (vodka pasta, the branzino, and the Milanese) but others run a little small and are meant to be shared.

It is a little pricey but definitely makes for a fun and memorable night with beautiful food. Best for a really special date night or when the parents are in town.“

“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“

“Travel the world through cased meat! BEST“

“I stopped in there briefly during sandwich week to try out their 10$ sandwich they were promoting “its good to be king sandwich”

The chicken patty has good crispy batter, it seemed to be a ground chicken patty, it had good flavor, with a nice balance of spice as well as balance of chicken, bread, & veg (Arugula, red onion, aioli, tomato ) so it’s not too heavy of a meal.
It was a good sandwich. Nothing to write home about, definitely better than some ive had and paid more for though. Service was good too.“

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

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

“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.“

“Such a great little taproom in the food cart pod. Plenty of table seating as well as bar seating. It was a great spot to hide from the hot sun under the tent. The couple that run this bar are very nice and they have great taste in music. Great beer selections, seltzers, wine, n/a options. It's nice you can take the beer with you anywhere on the property as well. There's a stage for music some nights and was the reason we were there. So glad to discover this place. Thanks!“

“Bartender and charismatic host, Nicholas, delivered us some of the most scrumptious holiday cocktails to wet our whistles last night. He even went as far to make my compatriots and I some homemade and self-engineered jello shots and let me just say: They were mighty yummy. 😋 10/10“

“Friendly staff with a killer tap list and large bottle selection. They get in some really exciting beers! If beer isn't your thing, they have cider, seltzer, NA, and some wine options. The space is dog friendly. Outside food is welcome. I recommend checking their website for an up to date tap list.“

“Seat yourself with QR code to order if sitting outside. The “Sunday gravy” beef braised rigatoni reminded me of my italian grandmother’s cooking when I was younger. Great salad, artichoke dip, and affogato as well! I love your Pizza Mondays - pizza is great!!“
