Good space and also nice fan! I especially appreciate this since it is summer and it is humid and sticky Portland. Drinks are reasonably priced, BUT my downfall for Dixie's is that the music is mid and that ultimately sets the vibe. I do like that fact that they display the music videos, but the music just isn't it. SORRY

Some of my favorite memories of hanging out with friends, drinking, dancing and partying happened here at Dixie's. This is unusual, as I have an intense dislike for both country music and hip hop, and this *country-themed* bar, that plays almost nothing *but* hip hop (wut?), and yet, here I have come, over and over, for years now, usually in the company of a bevy of gorgeous women. At this point, my loyalty to Dixie is likely just a mild form of Stockholm Syndrome. But that's not to say it doesn't have it's perks. First off, for a club as densely packed as Dixie tends to be, their service is phenomenal. I'm not referring to the attractive women in cut-off shorts and cleavage-bearing cut T-shirts (although I could be), but they manage to mix and serve cocktails at unheard of speeds, and crank food out of the kitchen faster than several professional restaurants that I hold in high regard. Whoever manages this place knows what the hell he/she is doing, and trains/picks their employees well. Things of which to be aware: * Come after 10pm and you *will* pay a cover. (Concerning this, though, one positive I can say is that I've never experienced any gate-keeping just for being male, like some other clubs do). * About once an hour or so, the (all-female) bartenders will get up on the bar and dance for the duration of a short song. * The coat check is unmanned far more than it is staffed, regardless of season or weather conditions. * Cocktails are surprisingly, reasonably priced (and sizeable) considering they have a captive audience. I suspect the cover takes the edge off and helps keep them competitive. * Lots of drunk "dude bros" and their ilk on weekend nights, but as a whole, their patrons are a step above those crammed into Dirty across the street (and similar dives). If you're going to come to Dixie (and it sounds like I am recommending it!), do yourself a favor: come early, and come prepared. The experience is not exactly the one that is advertised, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. It must not be, because I keep coming back. Nostalgia is one helluva drug, it seems!

Taking temperatures and keeping the cliental distanced are a priority. The beer is cold and the service is very friendly. The bar staff even performed a boot scootin piece on top of the bar. I had the beef sliders. Well prepared. I think they might have been missing a sauce but they were still great. Fries were smoking hot. Great time.

Bartenders are really sweet, but beware the AC IS OUT. They said it's been out for like a month, and it was horribly hot inside. Only stayed for one drink and left. What a bummer since they charged a cover!

I would absolutely give this place ZERO stars if I could. We waited in line for 1.5 hours and watched 40 people leave the place while we waited in line as they chose people who entered the fast pass, VIP line without a wait. They simply only knew the bouncers and were let in- completely unbelievable and terrible customer service. This is a horrible way to treat hs timers and leave them stranded out in the cold, wet rain and still charge them $20+ dollars. CAMERON the bouncer is the most biased, arrogant, selfish security guard. He is power tripping over his position and abusing it. He will let any girl in who hugs him. Would never recommend this place or come again. Terrible waste of a night!

Busy Saturday night

"Beer Hall" reads the big sign outside so you think you'll just stop in for a pint, and next thing…read moreyou know you're three in, the gregarious bartender rocking a tie-dye is your best friend and somehow you're discussing the finer points of American vs Irish whiskies. Loyal Legion is that kind of place, with the sort of dark, woody vibe that screams legacy, but without the pretension or airs. The tap list is long, deep and well-curated with mostly local taps, and their whisky wall is very well stocked indeed. Cocktail program is robust, the menu is a hearty mix of drinking food (brats and pretzels) and pub grub (burgers and fries) with sandos and salads thrown in for balance. If you're a beer snob, there's no better place IMO. Street parking can be a bit sketch though.

Loyal Legion is hands down one of my favorite spots in Portland. The vibe is relaxed and welcoming,…read morethe staff is genuinely friendly, and the rotating tap list is unmatched. If you're into discovering great local beers and ciders, this place is a dream -- there's always something new and exciting to try. The food is just as impressive. Everything I've had has been fresh, flavorful, and thoughtfully prepared. Whether you're stopping in for a casual drink, a full meal, or meeting friends, Loyal Legion delivers every time. It's the kind of place that feels both elevated and approachable -- perfect for date nights, gatherings, or just treating yourself after a long day. Can't recommend it enough.
