Great bar and we wish we went here sooner on our trip. If you're going to the concert venue next door do yourself a favor and arrive an hour ahead. I also think they appreciate cash because of the fees the single drinks and tab then out have

It’s a dirty little dive bar. I appreciate the generous pour. We stayed for one drink and that was enough. I would visit again, but it’s not a place that I want to hang out at all night. That is just my personal preference. But it is a great low key place for affordable drinks and decent atmosphere.

My wife and I are from Phoenix and we’re walking in downtown Portland and stumbled across this bar. Let me tell you, the wings are fire, by far the best I’ve had in a long time. Unfortunately, I don’t remember our bar tenders name, but she and her husband (the bar back/cook) were so gracious and just good peoples. I would give it a 10 out of 10, because of the service, food and atmosphere!

Was staying in the area for a concert and was happy to come across this cute little dive bar. Can get super busy at night, but the bartenders are super nice and attentive, just have patience and don't be a dick. They have slot machines, strong drinks and the bar food was actually tasty. They also have some seating outdoors. And people had dogs which was cute.

Dive bar at its finest. Was greeted the minute I walked in, bartenders were great, attentive and easy to have a conversation with. Beers were cold, decent selection and friendly environment. The staff knew most people by name, you were never empty for more than a minute and the food was decent considering. Spicy Raspberry sauce/jam is a must for dipping. Highly recommend, will definitely be back the next time I’m in town.
