This place has a very cozy atmosphere and the food and drinks were all very good. It can be a little cramped during peak hours but there's still a lot of seating and space. The karaoke events on Saturday were a blast, and the hosts were kind and even made sure to welcome newcomers warmly. read more

Just moved from the east side to near Council crest so decided to check this spot out. Love that this place has a very local vibe, with lots of folks from the community that seem to be regulars. Really prompt and friendly service. Awesome Beers on tap! And the food was great! The grinder sandwich was awesome and the fries were perfectly salty and crispy. My husband got the turkey bacon, Swiss on toasted sourdough and loved it. Everything coming out of the kitchen looked really yummy! Definitely will be back. read more

This is a great place if you like the dive bar vibe. The bartender was really pleasant and was very accommodating and attentive to our 6 person group. The food was quite delicious with a great selection of bar food. There is a good amount of parking in the area as well. Outdoor seating available! read more

See all

Outstanding service, good food (not great). I probably wouldn't go again unless someone I was going with wanted to go. While smokers went outside, some of that smoke seeped in through the patio. read more

Excellent food - freshly made, including the hamburgers! Getty ambiance, local friends only (jk!)! Always a five star experience, owners present at mostly app youngest - except when they are shopping for more great food! read more

I go here for takeout burgers. The bartender is always very friendly and the burgers are great! Classic pub ambience.

I remember this being a good spot. Recent: Had a quick pint while waiting out an oil change next door. Only one other patron in there, pretty good service. Had a Lagunitas IPA, the music was kinda loud for that time of day. Past: Had a good breakfast here with some family. I have good memories of it being a solid meal. I think the bartender/service was a little absent, but otherwise good food. Good Dive. Has cleaned up a bit - meaning, could be divier. read more

Great place to have a drink and eat a burger with wings. Best service by far. Fun place to play pool, arcade and board games.

Me and my girlfriend stopped by the 45th Street pub. I've been there a few times before. Always seeing the same local drunks, while we were sitting at the Bar,  This guy comes up to a patron sitting at the bar who was talking to a friend it looked like and just having a beer minding his own business, Later found out that it was the owner of the bar that got in the customer's face , threatened  him and looked as if he was just going to beat the crap out of the customer, Well the customer didn't back down. Said some words to the owner, the owner ended up walking out of his own bar. How unprofessional that looked to everyone. There were about four or five customers there that totally supported the VICTIM. A lot of drama comes out of that bar every time I'm there. So unprofessional that was for a business owner to display that demeanor towards a paying customer, place is an old dive, The ceiling tiles are saturated with nicotine from decades of smoking in there when it was legal to smoke inside a business. I don't know if people know that nicotine stains on walls and ceilings still give off toxins, so they're actually harming their customers. The owner we noticed was slamming beers and playing the poker machine when all of a sudden got up and went right towards that customer for no reason. It was a confusing display that's for sure. My girlfriend said don't ever take me here again and I won't. I won't even be coming back. Patrons beware the 45th is polluted with unnecessary drama. And a bunch of local drunks that act is if they own the place. read more

Wonderful local bar/eatery locally owned apparently. Stopped in for hamburger special. Jess was awesome! Will come again read more

For a neighborhood dive bar I guess it's all right. The pool tables are nice and free on Mondays and they have tator tots with a good quality ranch. The clientele however always seems to be older gentlemen who have seen a few beers throughout their days, if you know what I mean. The beer selection isn't the greatest though. I would like to see some local breweries on their tap. The staff has always been friendly and really welcoming! read more

My friend and I came in here on Monday night last week. We decided to go in and have a drink after we finished trivia at IBU. The place is old school decor but I very much enjoy a good dive bar. The bartender was coming up from the basement and poured us our shots. We then played a bit of video poker, chatted with the friendly bartender then left. read more

This USED to be a good old red, white, and blue good dive bar. With decent pub food. Unfortunately, the new owners have gentrified it to make me want to vomit. Tonight's dialogue with the total of 4 people in the place (me, the "owner", the prepubescent inexperienced floozy behind the bar (F for short), and the black guy (bouncer? There was No one there to bounce; maybe he just blows glass): Me, "...and I'll have a Cabernet with that order..." F: "...who's The Cabernet for?", sternly, right out of the gate: NOT a hostess Me: "...me." F: "but you already have a drink" Me: "...how fast do you cook? I'll be done with half this BOTTLE of bud in no time" Owner "hey hey! Buddy! Nobody talks to my "F" that way!" Me: "what? Like an adult? Cancel my order" Owner "why don't you leave" Me: "hey, new owner, say hello to an OLD Neighbor" Who let these people ruin SW PORTLAND? Y'all did I say: the pussification of SW PORTLAND is YOUR FAULT. DON't let it spread. Vomiting read more

Great drinks, food and service! Highly recommended. My favorite place to go hands down.

New owners are doing it right. Great pub food,I had burger that was cooked to order with all the trimmings and was great. Daily specials,great drinks friendly staff.can't wait for them to reopen,it's my go to bar. read more

Delicious food, taco Tuesday is my favorite, I always get the fish! This is definitely the best place to get a drink and food in the neighborhood, the staff is wonderful and I always feel welcome and well taken care of! read more

This is the worst bar in Portland, possibly the entire state. Dingy, poor lighting, zero character and surly employees. I've been here a couple of times because it is walking distance from my house, but after my last experience I'll never be back. My cousin was visiting from Florida and the bartender refused to serve him, without giving an explanation. Neither of us had been drinking and had just walked in the door. We left confused, and went across the street to cactus jacks where we had a great time. It's no surprise that on Friday and Saturday night, when every other bar is full and lively, the parking lot of this horrible place is desolate and empty. Avoid like the plague read more

This place has some REALLY great burgers and fries, food in general, breakfast too! They have $10 bottomless mimosas on Sunday's and a game of pool is free! As well as a friendly bartender who did not lack the skills to make a mimosa! I will be back here. My husband and I really enjoyed it here. If you live in the area or even stopping by, I highly recommend this little pub! read more

This place makes me sad.. ownership I wrote this really long diatribe about how I felt about my service tonight.. erased it.. I'm just sad.. what was.. and what is.. I would love to talk to the new owners.. this might not be good with the current management.. but as I see it... I'm sad read more

Just moved to the niehbor hood and saw the big sign breakfast special daily so I went in ask the bartender for a menu and as she was giving me one she proceeds to tel me she really dosnt know are want to cook what's on the menu but she's a girl so if I really wanted food she could figure something out.Thank you I will never be back read more

My wife and I had, probably, THE BEST sandwich and burger in SW Portland!!! She had a jalapeño, cheddar burger and I had an absolutely amazing hot pastrami sandwich! OMG, it was so good! Trevor was a great chef and bartender! Go here for good grub, pub, and fun! read more

This place used to feel like a neighborhood bar. New owners take over and they started cutting out things that were a good draw. When I have stopped in the staff is usually tunnel visioned and hasn't learned to greet the patron, while they are servings others. Poker days cut in half, karaoke was a great edition, but they only have it on random weekends. As for the neighborhood bar feel, it no longer exists, instead you feel more like currency waiting to be handed over as a privilege to be there. read more

Well, if you like dive bars this is the place for you. PBR's hoops, pool tables and shuffleboard. It is a typical dive bar, so it is an experience. Great prices, friendly service, and a good experience. read more

Always a good time here! The best drinks in town. Especially when you don't know exactly what you want; tell the friendly bartender what kinds of flavors you like and she whips you up some delicious!! Of course, it gets bonus points for being conveniently close to my house. read more

Best food ever!!!!!! Homemade hash from scratch will blow your socks off:) Tasha is a smart beautiful and wonderful woman!

If you expect a hip spot... this isn't it. But if you want a good old fashioned CHEERS bar-- this was like walking onto the set. The waitress Marney was super friendly, learned my name and everyone that walked in the door seemed to know everyone else's too. Really solid burger & fries for $7. Pretty sure she cooked and made the drinks, and did it all quickly with a smile. Stellar service. Was it dark, dingy, and divey? Hell yes. But would I come back? I dare say I would. read more

I stopped here looking for a beer and a burger on a Wednesday afternoon. Everything was great and Anne the bartender was great company. We spent about two hours talking and i really enjoyed her company. I will be coming back for lunch again. She kept my glass full and the conversation enjoyable. Good food for a great price. read more

Hmmmm, 4.5 Stars? Well, great local bar but don't expect much on the dinner menu. It's rather a Ham Sandwich, Fish n Fries or Chicken Tenders. Sometimes they make pizza. Taste good..,the large chicken tenders and the tots were crispy. read more

Great neighborhood bar. Kat is awesome and serves em strong! Mellow atmosphere nice folks. No drama.

Nice little neighborhood bar. Drinks are cheap and strong.

The wait staff is nice and quick to help you out, and on Monday's there's a great blues band that plays.

The place is a 3 because its a typical locals dive bar. $2 tall boys on Tuesday. Music is a 4! read more

Love this place! The staff is wonderful, the patrons are friendly and the atmosphere is totally chill. By the way stop in on Wednesdays as Damian always cooks something really yummy at a reasonable price. read more

Please note, this review is for their food truck only. I ordered a western chicken bowl. (can be a wrap or a bowl). The serving was generous and the first few bites with the guacamole sauce were good. Then I started hitting "bland". A lot of white rice that tasted washed out. Some rice with flavor like a jasmine or brown rice would be a really nice option. And don't be afraid to season your chicken! As I said the portion was generous! I would like to see a "half order" for bowls, something smaller. I feel like I paid $9.00 for way more than I needed. I would rather pay $5 for half size.Would I eat there again, absolutely. It's a good solid lunch fare but next time I am splitting something with a coworker. read more

Greeted at the door by a "funny" patron who held the door for the woman in front of us and then said "eff you guys" and closed the door on us, laughing, before reopening and holding the door for us. It could have turned ugly and inside, similar rough around the edges people are nursing drinks and plopping money into lotto machines. But you know what -- for the kind of bar it is -- I loved it. The bartender, with interesting tats and piercings was sweet and good at her job. She probably puts up with a lot. I'll definitely be going back. read more

relaxed atmosphere. neighborhood vibe. good food. friendly staff.

Use to visit this place after work on Fridays and stopped going for about 3-4 months because we were being over charged for drinks. There was always inconsistency with prices for our usual drinks and getting charged for drinks we didn't even order. Our last visit was due to a coworker being accused of not paying her tab when in fact she did. She cashed out on a lottery win, tipped the girl VERY well and closed her tab. Decided to give it another go, and still had the same issue. When I asked for an itemized receipt, she refused to give me one and since my bill was higher than it should have been, I tipped accordingly. After being ridiculed by the bartender to other patrons, she walked over with an itemized receipt. Convenient right?? Which was incorrect, AGAIN. I was charged mid shelf for drinks that I didn't ask for and drinks I didn't order. First and foremost, I'm not required to tip so being pointed out like that for the entire bar to see was inappropriate and uncalled for. I tip well when I get good service and my server is friendly. If you won't give me an itemized receipt, then this is what happens. After reading reviews I'm not the only who has complained about being over charged. This is obviously an issue and hopefully the owner takes care of it. Sounds fishy to me. Makes you wonder where the extra money is going. read more
