Stopped in here for brunch while in the village area. Great little local bar...staff is always super friendly. Wife had lunch and I had breakfast...breakfast sandwich and soup...hers was an Caprese chicken sando. Breakfast sando was good...soup not so much...it was a cheeseburger soup but tasted like a cup of chili with a mini slider burger patty and bun in the soup...I think...a little to much going on for my tastes. Wife liked the chicken but the cheese on it was massive. It is a bar and the drinks are staff are great...but food just ok! read more

Best Mozz sticks I've had in a while, also got the buffalo chicken wings? They were great, my mom and I are always skeptical of wings, and these pleasantly surprised us. Great service as well, we sat outside on the patio and were tentatively looked after. Nice inside and out! read more

After a nice meal at Ploy's Thai, my Son suggested a nightcap at Bar 3. This is probably the closest thing to his neighborhood bar, which also has a modest pub food menu. My only surprise here, was dedicated area containing slot machines. I don't know Oregon laws on this subject, but I did briefly feel that I was back in Nevada, where this sort of thing is always in the background. Past that, our barkeep was efficient, and graciously accepted my offer to be carded, after my son was. At that point, a fellow patron commented that I just got under the wire age-wise. David ordered whiskey on ice, while I had a local draft craft beer. We enjoyed our drinks, and enjoyed chatting, including catching up with Gayle (who called in while we were here). We passed on another round, but one that will come on a future visit. read more

Bar 3 - My Son - Bars Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Basic but somewhat cozy neighborhood spot that (mostly) hits the key points for me. A nice open layout, not too big but not cramped, full bar, okay tap list and an adequate menu listing slightly better than usual dive bar fare. Think nachos, fries, and tots but also egg rolls (likely out of a box) caprese bites and such. Enough large screens to get your sports fix on, and of course, video lottery. It's a no-frills slightly boxy joint inside but not too divey and manages to feel warm - probably due to the wood paneled ceiling and a couple of booths near the window. BarTenders are all business but friendly with prompt service. There is a covered patio too but it's not the best vibe. Bar 3 is a solid local spot - better than average, IMO - even though it's in a strip-mall-ish location on busy Multnomah Blvd.. read more

This bar is top notch. In particular, Ashley is the exact bartender who gives a shit. She spends the time. Great attitude with a friendly disposition. Absolute gem! read more

the food was terrible but the service and the drinks were great, solid 3 stars. I like that the video poker machines have their own little room, that's a cute touch! Wouldn't recommend for dinner, but that's okay. read more

First time, this is the third bar of 3 bars within 2 miles of one another...which explains the name. It's surprisingly not dark inside for looking dark on the outside. It's friendly, pretty mellow, I hear there are food specials daily, the drinks are delicious and a sizable pour. The video games move, and music was eclectic for being so PDX suburb. Really though, the bartender made my "flying solo" experience delightful (as a single woman meandering in the area) Check out the drinks.. there's a butterfly pea cocktail. Come for a hello. It's nice to be in a neighborhood bar that's zero drama read more

Bar 3 - I took a picture thinking those are the next drinks I'll try when I come again! (I had tequila with fresh muddled strawberries) - Bars Near Me - Portland, Oregon

I sat at a table for 7 minutes until I was noticed ...she asked me if everything was ok and I said no I have been sitting here waiting..She then said "I am not doing this and she repeated that and said I have had a long day. read more

Food was great. The cook took pride in what he served. People were very friendly. Plan to go again.

I've never eaten here but the handful of times I've gone, I've never had a bad experience. The staff is always friendly and the regulars don't look at you funny. They have a good sized patio and everything is clean. One of my buddy's goes here a few times a week for breakfast so the food must be good. read more

Love this place. Food is great. The bar tenders are amazing. Especially Chris. He makes great drinks and makes the atmosphere in there amazing. read more

Tucked in the strip mall next to Plaid Pantry, this place is a cozy neighborhood spot with great food! Walked in on a Friday night and the place was lively, about four or so TV's going and the heat was crankin', perfect spot to be. Ordered the Buffalo Chicken Mac and the French dip. Both were really good, not mind blowing but real solid food. The tap list is on the smaller side, but all really great options. Bunch of specials on the chalk board and the service was absolutely perfect! 4 stars for this place. Keep in mind, I'm not comparing it to Ava Gene's or anything, just yelping it based on what it is; a suburbs sports bar. Great spot. read more

Great spot a couple blocks from home- patio outside, decent music set by someone who knows what their doing, reasonably priced interesting menu with outstanding Mac & cheese like you've never had before!, friendly staff - all 'round gem in the neighborhood read more

Ran into the worst woman in the world in this bar. A friend and I sat down to play video poker after ordering a beer. Right away this woman started calling us names. I asked her what her problem was and she started spouting off shit about covid rules. Whether or not there are rules, why would you start calling someone names. If you have an issue, be an adult and address your issues like an adult. I reported her crappy attitude to the bartender who did really nothing and sided with her at the bar, but apologized to us when we decided to just leave after the whole interaction. Don't go to this bar, it was the second chance for it and after this experience I won't be spending my money here. read more

Cool looking bar. Great staff and environment, but please do not order the calamari or Cesar salad. Either the Cesar salad or calamari gave my girlfriend food poisoning. She was throwing up before we left the restaurant. Good beers, but certainly not worth 40 something bucks for food poisoning. Bring a tums if you order food read more

Love this spot! Just right around the corner from my house make this the perfect spot for to grab a drink! The service was great. The drinks were strong. And the sliders were yummy. Definitely will be coming back! read more

Great little neighborhood hang-out at the edge of Multnomah Village. It's not gonna blow you away, but it ain't gonna disappount either. The menu is short and focused, the bar serves nicely chilled beer, and there's even an outdoor patio for when it warms up a bit. They do trivia on Tue nights too. Give this place a try. You might find your new favorite hang-out. read more

Ive been to the Bar 3 several times and Im here to tell you drink all you want 'cause they don't make the alcohol. STAY AWAY FROM THE FOOD. The last time I went there I ordered a reuben sandwich. The sandwich was composed of 2 slices of meat (of that thin sliced variety} and I was going to say they forgot the sauerkraut except i did find a couple of shreds of kraut in it. the sandwich fillings came to less than .1 inches. It wouldn't have been that much except that they had a lot of sauce on it. This was the worst sandwich (or excuse for one) I havve had in my life. The fries were OK. But only. Stay away read more

Ordered the chicken strips and they definitely came from a frozen bag. For pretty much the same price, go to Renners and get their deluxe chicken sandwich- that one is handmade and freshly fried to order. read more

*before I start rambling, please see the bottom of my review for the NUMBER ONE reason I come back here again and again, this coming from a youngish woman* Bar 3 was thrown into my bar rotation when my regular go to, Renners, burned down a couple years ago. While Renners is back and I still have so much love for them, there is a VERY GOOD REASON I did not abandon Bar3. It is no longer a "placeholder bar", but one of my favorite "home turf" bars. The staff are salt of the earth wonderful humans. If you go a handful of times they will remember you and probably remember your order. It feels like you're a part of a weird dive/yet clean/wonderful bar family. This place is not a top brass snooty 15$ cocktail bar like you will find dotted around portland. It is a inviting place to get good food and a cold drink and have a good time with friends. The regular crowd are inviting and if you come in a few times you probably will know them all by name. And now onto the reason I come back here time and time again. I only keep 2 or 3 bars on my main rotation and they all have one thing in common, I know for a fact I am safe 100% of the time. I am a youngish woman who likes to go to bars and drink draft beer while reading a book alone. A lot of men, especially the drunk kind, see this as an invitation to hit on me because there is no man next to me. The staff at Bar3 is NO nonsense about this sort of behavior. I have been hit on and bothered (that just happens unfortunately in the world when you're a woman) and right away the offender is thrown And clearly told they are not welcome back. Bar3 has a one strike policy against harassment and I know that everyone in there has my back. My boyfriend is always 100% ok with it when I tell him I'm going to Bar3 to read. He knows I can handle myself, but if I ever need back up, the whole bar will go to bat for me. If you aren't too snooty and you enjoy good people and a great bar atmosphere go here! I read more

This is our go to place for food and drinks. We've never been disappointed! My favorite menu items are the the grilled press sandwiches. Caprese sandwich or the NY steak sandwich with sweet potato fries can't be beat! read more

Bar 3 - Bars Near Me - Portland, Oregon

The bartender was sweet but I won't be coming back here. The reason is that this bar is definitely not a safe space for minorities. 2 older guys were engaging in conversation and yelled the word "spic" in the middle of the bar and not one person responded/reacted? I let the bartender know and that it was the reason I was leaving however the response wasn't effective nor productive and will overall be the reason I wouldn't be returning to this bar. read more

The Mac and Buffalo chicken was sooooo good! Cheap drinks too!! The food is really amazing and a chill environment B

This place most times is consistent and good. Issue is service. There is one long table up against the bar, when it is full of regulars, the bartender spends most of time hanging out in front of that table talking to them, ignores rest of bar. You want a drink forget it your going to sit there 15 minutes even on a slow day trying to get the ladies attention while she texts, flirts w the people at that table, or whatever she is doing over there, while the rest of the bar sits there waiting on service..... it's pretty annoying, I almost walked out and went elsewhere. Couple of tenders that do this. Color me crazy but I think your there for the tips and we are on back side of covid I'd think folks would at least do job....before you go there I always tip at least 30 percent even for crap service. Issue w me is I won't say anything, I just won't come back. read more

Love this place for a drink or four and a bite to eat! A small hidden treasure with surprisingly good food for a smaller bar. Keely (I believe that's her name) is a remarkable, personable and quality bartender!! read more

Understaffed and food was definitely can to the pan and not worth the above fast food prices. Off my list of neighborhood go-tos for sure.

Honestly really like this place. We both got the steak sandwich though and it was pretty bad cuts of meat so it was really hard to eat with all the gristle and fat. Drinks were strong though and our bartender was very nice and attentive. I'll just definitely order something else next time. read more

Great place to hangout and get a bite to eat! Solid beer choices on tap and the cocktails are on point. Bar3 also has a great food menu you can't go wrong with any of the choices, my favorite so far is the NY steak sandwich. I highly recommend Bar3 if you're in the neighborhood, super friendly staff and excellent food make this place stand out from the rest. read more

The older fellow who cooks so well wasn't there today, so my loaded potatoes were not the standard. Overfried and dry potatoes, hardly any bacon, and the aftertaste of old oil I still carry in my tastebuds as I write this review. Highly priced substandard food. read more

Absolutely love this place! Great food (absolute best soups ever!) the staff are always friendly and attentive. The price is just right and though it's tucked into a little strip mall it's far greater than you'd expect to find! The only thing.... it's hard not to stop in once you've been read more

Drinks and beer is average.. typical bar food. Friendly dog patio and good service. They have happy hour all day and breakfast choices.

The broken cig is just the start to this multnomah village gem. Cheapest micros in southwest, tagged with a killer pastrami Sammie and a friendly smile from the staff it's a must see while in the Village!!! read more

I grew up in Portland and live in SF now and every time I come to visit I stop by this bar because my sister lives down the street. The drinks are simple but good, I love their Bloody Mary! The food is normal bar food but it's always well prepared and fast. The environment is great because it's clean and I've never had a problem with a drunk person bothering me here. The price point is fair, I think this is the ideal hangout. read more

Such a cute fun bar! Food is yummy and the bartenders are friendly. Great drinks and a comfortable atmosphere, I've come in with multiple groups and have always had a blast! Good for quick bites too!! Definitely will be back! read more

This is a great local bar to stop by. Friendly staff, good prices and outstanding food.

Love having a new bar on this side of Multnomah. Excellent food and terrific, personable service. Ashley has been particularly awesome. I also love the remodel they have done from the previous bar that was there. Glad this place is in my neighborhood! read more
