We ordered an Italian sandwich which was delicious and Mudhoney Remix and a ginger beer. They have NA options and $1 off everything during happy hour (4-6 pm and all day Sunday). The bar has a nice cozy feel to it and a mellow look to it. Parking can be tricky at times like most places in the village, but I was able to find street parking in the residential area a block away. There is also a paid parking lot across the street if you don't want to walk much. Definitely going back again to try more of their drinks.

A fun and cozy bar beneath an apartment complex in multnomah village. Seating is limited, and…read morestreet parking is the option. Was greeted warmly by the bartender upon entering. Checked out the menu and was given a recommendation based on my preferences. Settled on the Mudhoney cocktail... the Chardonnay foam was such a really fun touch! The prices are fair, and the small bites offer great options when you don't need or want a full meal. I ordered a side of pretzels and the bartender comped them because there weren't enough to justify a full portion. Very classy. I like the atmosphere a lot... good lighting, comfy booths, plentiful drink options. And not too loud! Definitely a perfect place for a date or hangout with a trusted friend!

Didn't get the chance to try any of the food. Seating looks pretty limited due to the size of the house, but I heard there's a patio out back. Definitely will be coming back soon.

The Muddy Rudder can hold it's head high in this arena. The interior has a great feel as an impressive log tabletop stretches out before you when one first enters. The bar is a nice, old wooden bar with the establishment giving a very warm embrace with it's rustic decor and charm. They have outside seating, both street side and in a side patio. As for the beer selection, they do a very good job curating. For example, until recently, one could almost count on there being an import beer on tap. They also do a good job of having a wide variety of styles, they have one on pull tap (if you are unfamiliar, give it a try - you will be glad you did) and they are constantly rotating with truly local brews. They also have a chalkboard which lists all the brews, their ABV and frequently the IBUs. There are 16 rotating taps. Kudos to the person running this part of the operation. As for the food, I have never been disappointed and I have eaten here frequently. I am a sucker for their strombolis. In NY, strombolis were a go-to meal at a pizzeria, but they are few and far between in the PNW. Not only does The Muddy Rudder have strombolis, they also make them in the true stromboli tradition. Do note that the pizza dough here is as close to NY as I have found in Portland, which obviously means try the pizza as well - it is very good. They then offer other food options which have also always only pleased. Do give this spot a visit - you will not be disappointed.

Vibey music, cute girly aesthetics…read more I had the strawberry cooler cocktail which was yummy, tho a little on the sweet side and it might as well have been a mocktail bc there was very little booze in it. Not even a whisper of a buzz and I drank it on an empty stomach. Whether that's a good thing or bad is in the eye of the beholder (belly of the drinker?). I wanted to try their dessert but it was sold out so I got their bread and butter which was steaming hot but it was really soft and spongey like it was microwaved. I wanted more of a crisp on the crust and it tasted a bit burned or like it was wheat bread. The butter and jam it's served with were yummy tho. Service was slow. There's only 1 bartender who can't really keep up if there's a crowd. We sat with empty drinks for quite a while and waited for the bill even longer. Good spot to go if you're not in a hurry and not trying to get drunk and not hungry.

The drinks are super affordable, I was shocked! 12-14 for a solid cocktail, even not during happy hour, hello! And they also have a happy hour! Arancini, is just great/okay, but maybe I'm not sure what it's supposed to be like. Crisp, rich, but not a stand out. All salad is fantastic! The bread!! We asked to be sold some and they gave the owner's contact, it's that GOOD! We are wanting to order for a party. Seriously, you need to try this place. Private parking, great folks, awesome experience.

We've been here a couple times. First time was dinner with friends and everything was amazing. So…read morewe came back with our kids. We came on a Sunday, which they have shorter hours (no lunch, 4-9pm) but all day Happy Hour so we got to try some of their small plates, sample their house wine, and enjoy great specials. The employees are very friendly and happy to make suggestions if you ask. The ambiance is open and airy with a modern vibe. Their focaccia bread is lovely and with the burrata it's a game changer. Their pizza is fantastic. The Margherita is perfection and only $12 (from $21) on the HH menu. Menus are small, but what they do have they have perfected. It also changes seasonally so check back!

Picture dark moody lighting with gold and green accents and pinkish colored curtains at the booths. If I lived closer this would be my go to spot. They have a full bar so you can get pretty much whatever you want. They have a few speciality cocktails but most of them were made with gin, not my fav. The drinks during happy hour were really reasonable and the food was priced similar to other restaurants in the area. I had a ham and cheese panini with the pilsner and both were pretty good. The bartender was really nice and made the whole experience easy and enjoyable. Also jello shots for $2. Can't go wrong there!

This was by far the most frustrating dining experience I've ever had with my toddler. This place is…read morenot toddler-friendly despite the "minors allowed" sign. I ordered a spam musubi for my 2 year old, assuming it was plain since the menu explicitly listed it only with rice and nori. It came with green onions and spicy seasoning that weren't mentioned. The waiter knew I was ordering this for my son, but didn't check or mention the unlisted ingredients to make sure it was okay. I had to ask for a new one plain with just rice, spam, and nori after he took a bite and cried about it being too spicy. 15 minutes later, it STILL didn't arrive plain- it came out with green onions and the sauce. . . I was in disbelief but by then it was 7pm and my son had waited almost an hour to eat (mamas all know how I'm feeling), so I held my tongue and fed it to him, picking out the onions. If someone had a green onion allergy, this could have been much more serious. I debated back and forth to communicate this. When I mentioned the issue afterward so she could be more mindful, the waiter's "sorry?" came across as dismissive rather than receptive. I hope they take this feedback seriously and improve service, communication and attention to dietary requests. A menu update should also be considered.
