It's my first time in Portland and we were just looking for chill, after-dinner drinks. This place was getting pretty packed, so we grabbed some drinks and had a great time. Very relaxed, everyone was chatting and friendly, bar staff was quick and attentive. Overall: it was great!

This is the best neighborhood bar in the Pearl! They have the most attentive well trained staff of any bar in the city. They constantly check on their customers. You will never wait for a drink. Great prices.. friendly staff and customers. If you like old school hip hop, 80's hair bands,. classic rock, yacht rock, 90s Brit Pop you will love this place. If you're a Taylor Swift fan, you're out of luck . LOL Go for strong drinks and great service, stay for the good vibes.

I’ve been here three times, and I have to say, it’s always a friendly and relaxing place. This is a very unpretentious bar, it doesn’t really have a "crowd", you just get all kinds of different people. All the bartenders have been nice and the other customers are friendly. The decor is awesome, it’s a mixture of all kinds of funky things.

The Pearl district's timeless dive bar that is on just about every Portland list on the subject. It's dark and open until 2:30am yet the staff are friendly and the bar has a loyal following. Even their website doesn't work. If you really want a hardcore dive bar this is the one. Good luck finding parking. -VanPort Insider

So attentive they read my mind when I wanted another drink haha. Friendly staff and perfect if you're into the more old fashioned style bar (which I personally love). Really cool light fixtures and a casual environment! Positive energy and fun music.

I was with a medium sized group of women (6 others) that happen to wander in to this bar. We were asked to leave before the first round was completed. A drink was pulled out of one girls hand. We were told we were being too "loud" (in a bar, at ~11:30 pm?) but no further explanation was given. Frankly, I think this was a racist comment given my company. I would love to give the benefit of the doubt but I really cannot think of any other explanation, no warning and no other explanation was given. They just didn't want us there.
