But just when you think the bar is done, step outside and there are a ton of tables and booths and yet another stage. I can't comment on the service because I didn't order any food. Cover change was $10 but it's was worth it. Had a great time and with a big enough floor in front of the stage, room to boogie. You can count on me coming back for more live music.

They also had live music and if you are hungry there is a taco food cart just outside. You can bring the food in but they don't serve their own food, just drinks. The service was fine, and they give great recommendations if you need help deciding on a drink. One more thing, they do charge 3% extra to use a credit card so cash would be best. The 3% is what credit companies charge so it's just passed along. Lots of small two people tables but they do have at least one large table. Parking is street parking but the adjacent neighborhood had lots of parking.

It may not be 'Cheers', but the corner bar where everyone get to know your name is the Starday Tavern! This watering hole offers licks that on any day can be Rock, Blues, Folk or Country and the feel is comforting, laid back and inviting. This clean, comfy and relaxed community driven dive offers you name it in beers (either bottle, can or draught), liquor and beverages from some of the nicest behind-the-bar folks you'll ever find anywhere! While on our last visit to Portland some pals and fam from the neighborhood invited us to join them on a visit to Starday and it was thoroughly enjoyable! Starday rate a 4.6 on Google and 4.2 on Yelp for good reason. This old building and its interior décor take you back to yesteryear of the good old neighborhood bar. I'm not a bar fan, but next visit to Portland, I'll be back!

So let me help you if you have never been here before. Rule one (I found out the hard way) when you walk in, stay on the left hand side to order food and drinks, then go find a seat. So many amazing books and art to look at and grab ideas from. So, I ordered a glass of red wine, which I thought would cost like 10-12 bucks, but it turned out to only be 6 bucks ! The Mac & Cheese is tasty as well. I truly loved my visit here, it's a really wonderful place to visit. Service was welcoming, hard working and generous. All & All ; I would return in a heartbeat, perfect place to meet up with a close friend and catch up.

I'm regularly looking for good spots to have a beer and have that balance of bustle and calm so I can focus and write, and Chill N Fill has different "zones" that fulfill that need. The beer selection is good - they carried a perfect beer from Barley Brown called Martin Scor-Hazy for a bit. And of the trucks I've so far tried the sushi burritos (very good) and the teriyaki chicken from the ramen place (so tasty I've ordered it twice).

I am not a dive bar person... I have several reasons stacked up as to why - I am highly allergic to…read moreHops and Pot so getting stoned and tossing cheap beers back is not for me, nor is smelling it or people doing that since... yeah thanks no. A lot of dive bar food is made with beer whether the menu says it or not and it is usually just a tragedy. I get it - drunk folks do not care what they are eating but the menu is about the same at most places. A friend wanted to attend a Shakespeare interactive play here. Since it was starting at 7pm and I live in Beaverton I was not going to have time to get over here and eat so I looked up the bar online. I was curious at the Mediterranean food but also very happy since that is not made with beer. My friend arrived before me and grabbed up perfect seats. We realized it was going to be a full house so we had better order food which was super easy to do. Can I also throw in that on their wall behind the bar they have chips you can just grab from the bartender... FRITOS, which are one of my favorite things. But thank you - just that... I was not drinking and just having soda with the show and some food but I could genuinely see having a few drinks and just grabbing one for a small snack. Our food, even with the bussel busy Friday night, came pretty fast and all the folks taking orders and serving were super friendly, wanting to help. I wanted the chicken gyro but they ran out so I gave their falafel a go - the falafel was a touch on the over mark but was still pretty delicious and I opted for a 'side' salad which I thought was strange to upcharge $3 for until it arrived and was INSANE... so huge! I got a side of onion rings too which were ridiculously good...seriously some of the best damned rings I have had and I could not stop eating them so that, my friends, was dinner... I had to take most of the gyro and salad to go. That salad ...later...I had an avocado I needed to use up at home and with their dressing. It was incredible! Amusing thing is that there is a vegan restaurant my friend had wanted to try near here and we did. Had the WORST experience and this was perfect... when we are over here this just earned itself a place as a go to spot for me. I might even drink here sometime HAHAHAHA!
