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“

“We stopped by this charming neighborhood spot for a quick drink and a game of Scrabble, and it did not disappoint. I ordered the S Class, a pretty and pink gin drink and holy heck, it hit me like a ton of bricks—in the best way. My friend ordered something with tajin (always a solid choice), to similar effect. The drinks fueled us through a competitive start to our Scrabble game, loosening and freeing our cognitive functions. We didn’t finish our game there, but we did finish those drinks with ease. Yum! Strongly recommend for powerful and delicious drinks, and a darling vibe.“

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

“Visiting from Los Angeles , gotta say as a former resident of NYC this pizza definitely can hold its own against the heavy hitters on the east coast. Delicious whipped ricotta dipping sauce with garlic and a touch of honey. The crust was perfectly baked and the texture really can’t be beat anywhere around here. The best pie we’ve had in Portland for sure. And the friendly staff and homey atmosphere was so welcoming! Shout out to our waiter from Queens who chatted us up. Highly recommend !!“

“Great live music here!!!!“

“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 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! 🙂👍“

“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!“

“The food was a symphony of flavors everything is made in house by the woman who owns the place Yes her and her husband own it it's a mom and pops in all their all their customers are their children The drinks are delicious The best thing is that habanero honey You have to have it on any of the food“

“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 people to work and drink with!“

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

“Great addition to the South Waterfront.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“The Gibson came into the village surrounded by an assortment of other bars and knocked it out of the park. They carved out a perfect niche that didn’t exist and has become a fast neighborhood staple. The atmosphere, staff and quality of product never disappoints.

Everyone should add the Gibson to their list of places to go in Multnomah Village.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

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

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

“Friendly staff, relaxing place with a pool table, outdoor seating; award-winning, best crispy fried chicken & jojos in Portland (made fresh each order, so allow time.) ❤ I love this artful dive bar with an EXCEPTIONALLY CLEAN KITCHEN.“

“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 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).“

“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!!“

“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.“

“This place is a must try. I wouldn’t quite call it an elevated Taco Bell menu. I would more or less call it Tex-Mex the crunchy tacos filled with super seasoned beef wrapped in a flour tortilla with beans were so good this homemade salsa, guacamole, and queso dip was also A1 the burger was surprisingly tasty. I get their classic and it was super juicy and amazing with the pico on it instead of a slice of tomato and onion it had pico de gallo drinks are fantastic. I did order tater tots because I still reminisce over the Taco Bell maxi nuggets but they didn’t quite hit the mark for those, but I really did like them with their ranch dressing all in all this place for the vibe the food the staff is a definite must try specially for your biker and you take the Clinton bike route!“

“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.“

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

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

“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“

“Great spot. No reservations just walk ins. It can look like there is a long line at times but staff turns the tables with fast great service. Pasta is fresh and so good. I recommend ordering a few dishes to split as you will want to taste it all.“

“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.“

“Stopped in for a drink (or two) and had ourselves a quality time. This place has a way of transporting you, and that's not easy to do. Great service somehow managed to be outshined by even better cocktails. I just wish we'd come hungry, the food coming out of the kitchen looked ridiculous. We'll be coming back for sure.“

“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.“

“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“
